Your niece doesn't have the thought/reaction patterns that you developed. She didn't have the same consideration or even thinking that you have. That's the interesting thing about those of us who deal with anxiety. We have trained ourselves to see all of this so differently than other people. Then, we work ourselves up. In her mind, she is likely not thinking about getting sick. It'll be like.....she'll only focus on it when it happens.....if it doesn't happen, it won't enter her mind.....like it would us!
-
I woke up feeling anxious early this morning the anxiety is low as I keep telling myself my niece was with me as well cleaning up without gloves or mask and it isn't bothering her why would it single me out?. I have at least a another week to see if symptoms come or get worse.
-
The key is getting to know yourself so that when things like this come up, you'll know how to handle it next time.
-
Funniest thing is that is almost totally vanished already. I knew once I “believed”it was stress that it might go.
-
i have been under a lot of stress lately and this was my stupidity as I just swept up the moose poop with no gloves or mask . I read a news article about Gene Hackmans wife dying from it and like a idiot I googled the cdc regarding symptoms and two were listed from when i saw my doctor on tues who diagnosed a sinus infection and I never mentioned cleaning up the poop.
-
From what I read, Hanta virus is rare in North America at least. I ran into mouse poo - sprayed it with Lyson disinfectant spray, and then cleaup with gloves. No biggie. You would have already had symptoms. Hyperventilation is anxiety lol.
-
Thank you Ironman You are most probably correct I didn't come in contact with Hanta virus but I kinda was spooked after Gene Hackmans wife died from it and there was mice all over their property from news reports I read. And like rabies is rare but I have had rabies anxiety for over 40 years and I was bitten by a bat 20 years ago and received the vaccine Hanta virus is new to me after moving to a very rural setting 5 years ago
-
After three weeks, if you had been exposed to rabies, you would have had symptoms by now. As for the "hanta" business as well, the animal would have to have it. That's kind of a stretch. It sounds like the wheezing and asthma could be triggered by stress more than anything.

I am on Anxiety Space, yes, but not Anxiety Zone.

-
Hi Mike are you still on fb messenger or is this site totally back up. What happened to Gilly?

Ironman were you also a member of anxiety zone? I came here when it closed but never really posted until today while starting to spiral again I checked anxiety space but it doesn't look like it is currently up even checking cuchelans profile and he was everywhere -
Hi everyone. I haven't posted here in years as I had total control of my HA and fears specifically Rabies and now Hanta virus.. around three weeks ago i drove into my driveway around 4;30 pm and saw a Racoon coming from garbage cans around my house and go into my neighbors yard. Ok I freaked that I walked in its saliva and had it on my shoes and I recently got sick with a sinus infection and for the last four days taking antibiotics now last week while cleaning I encountered mouse poop in a large quantity in my house due to mice coming in over the winter which I only saw one or two and trapped them now I am worried about that because I am wheezing and sometimes a little out of breath which could be the infection and I am asthmatic. Not sure if I am overreacting or showing signs of hanta virus I will confess I googled CDC Oh as for that racoon I saw it again yesterday as I came home by the garbage in daylight

I had a feeling that the'd say everything was okay. Stress has a way of messing with our mind. Keep us posted.

I know this is super old- but what became of this? Did the dr just confirm puberty? - Earlier

Well, I’m already done which is pretty awesome. He is sending me a heart monitor in the mail to wear for two weeks and they will just look for any arrhythmia. He is not concerned whatsoever based on my description and said this is super common and that my stress and inhaler probably caused it to be more prominent where I’m feeling it, but it will likely disappear on its own. After the results of the heart monitor, if nothing is found then I’m free to go. If the heart monitor finds anything then they would do further testing. 99% chance I’m fine he said. 👏🏻🙌🏻🫶🏻
-
Appreciate it. I go tomorrow and have no idea what to expect.
-
Hey! It was considered normal. I just had another one last month as well for peace of mind. Trace mitral valve regurgitation is all and I was told by two different doctors that is nothing to worry about
-
Going in the morning to meet with cardiologist. Hoping they just do everything they need to do so I don't have to wait much longer. This has reduced a ton over the last few weeks but not totally gone away. That gives me hope for it just being stress. Trying to relax as much as I can today as it is looming.
-
I have an echo tomorrow as well....mine is because I was found to have a 4.9cm aortic aneurysm....they just want to make sure everything else with my heart is ok
-
What came from your echo? I’m dealing with this next week. Going to cardiologist for the first time due to palpitations going on for awhile now. No other symptoms though.
-
Yeah, doctors are rushed and can go in tangents. Since the pandemic, it has been just weird. That's good news. Until then, try not to let things worry you. You have a concrete date to go on.
-
Cardiology office called today and by some miracle, got me in on June 5. Next apt was June 27 or into July. One week and then I’ll at least know if there is anything wrong or if it’s stress. 🙏🏻
-
Sadly, I'm worried that they will find something sinister. The MD Live doctor I talked with the other day was horrible at bedside manner and said some pretty stupid things. She told me that PVCs can be an indication of Heart Disease. Why is that info you would ever hand out when it is such a common thing for all kinds of reasons!? My maternal grandpa had an enlarged heart and part of me fears that they will find the same when they check things out. Borrowing trouble, but it is my fears.
-
Uncertainty will add to anxiety. At least they told you that they would start to monitor. That's good news, Stealth!
