Feeling all sorts of things

[unicorn 4]

Hi,

I haven't been feeling well for a couple of days . I've 2 or 3 anxiety attacks already . On Monday I went to the ER and they found my vital signs normal except for my bloodwork . They found that my white blood cell count was a little high and said that I could have an infection but no clue what it is . They asked me if I've had colds or anything or does it hurt when I pee, I said none . My doctor said to have me admitted but I didn't and requested to have the lab exams as an outpatient . Since Monday, I've been feeling short stabbing pains above my ribcage w/ a pain score of 4 . Then the pain randomly traveled anywhere my stomach . It goes on and off but now I don't feel it much .

I'm supposed to have lab exams today to have a urinalysis, chest xray, and bloodwork . I was sort of fine yesterday but then today I felt like another anxiety attack was going to happen so I took a nap . I just felt tired since and like I'm about to have a fever . The loss of energy scares me and I'm trying my best to be calm . I also have this tension on my back and I just do some stretches to ease the tension . IDK if that one is also a factor to me anxiety . My mind has been wandering to so many stuff and I'm unable to tone it down .

I would talk to your doctor.  Did you have your tests done?  A higher white blood cell count means what the doctor said.  There is something the body is trying to fight off.  Anxiety is also draining, so that has to be monitored too.

My 24 Hour ECG results were normal . No issues with my heart . I do feel lightheaded but I'm pointing it to lack of sleep . My brain seems to be focused on how my body is functioning and it makes me feel anxious that I might have some serious illness which I try to distract myself from .

The lightheadedness can come from the anxiety you are describing, too.  Spacey feelings (derealization) will do it.
