Hey! I’m here. I hope all is well! Here’s my FB. Message and request me! https://www.facebook.com/michael.larosa.7509/

Just make sure you do the fasting beforehand.  It clears any food-related blood changes.   Chances are good that you will be fine.  It depends on the tests being done.  

Hey all! I hate to be back here but I have a fear in the back of my mind about a checkup I have next week. I have the actual checkup first then a week after that I visit my actual doctor. My doc's actually really awesome and helps with my fears, helped me get off another medication (Xanax) with minimal withdrawal, and always supported me so it's not so much her I'm afraid of.  This checkup includes a blood test which is honestly what has me the most worried. Granted it's just a basic test and last year my numbers came back pretty much perfect, but this anxiety is eating at me like if they find something wrong with me despite feeling no discernable symptoms.  For context, I'm a 32 year old male who's overweight and has high blood pressure controlled with medication. Otherwise I'm healthy insofar as I don't have worrisome symptoms. I really just need reassurance that my numbers will come back fine whenever I have my test done. 

Looking for Mike L. He was a friend in FB and my account was hacked. He was a huge help to me. I believe he is on here and active. We have Kayla and Dave as mutual friends. Mike L. If your here, please respond ! My new FB is Marlana HillGilbert. Thank you 

Those skips were probably panic related. It actually takes a panic attack to break us out of sleep mode.  We have to have something jar us out of hibernation!  The heart rate goes back up to get us going.   That sounds encouraging.
