It went fine and results came back all good. Yes, I’m on medication for anxiety but am currently trying to find a new psychiatrist to help me find something that works better for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annual-exam-amp-pap#post-2921518 Thu, 17 Dec 2020 17:32:40 +0000 hellobeeboston 2921518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: how did your exam go?? </p> <p>I don't think any level of "debilitating" is a good thing, and might be something you want to look into speaking with someone about...do you take any medication or CBD for anxiety? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annual-exam-amp-pap#post-2921407 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 17:31:03 +0000 Silva 2921407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. That is an abnormal degree of anxiety. I'm so sorry you are still struggling with this. Wishing you some solace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annual-exam-amp-pap#post-2921405 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 13:57:32 +0000 castilrm 2921405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do have some health anxiety, so I understand what you mean. Usually the physicals themselves don’t concern me but I always feel a little anxious until I get the results of any blood work or labs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annual-exam-amp-pap#post-2921404 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 13:09:37 +0000 Mama Bird 2921404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Any kind of medical thing, really. I can't even control it, because it's not fear in my mind. More like a physical feeling of being queasy and kind of sick. It does go away as soon as I leave the doctor's office, so the only thing I can do is recognize that it's just anxiety, and focus on getting through the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annual-exam-amp-pap#post-2921392 Tue, 08 Dec 2020 14:16:26 +0000 Corduroy 2921392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not my favorite thing but I don't get anxious about the results of the exam. I'm more anxious about sweating through the paper cover on the table. </p> <p>@CatchAFallingStar: I've seen your previous posts about health anxiety. ::Hugs:: I hope you find some relief. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annual-exam-amp-pap#post-2921391 Tue, 08 Dec 2020 14:12:38 +0000 josina 2921391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, and I've had an abnormal pap before that resulted in a biopsy (which was fine). Every pap after has been fine as well.</p> <p>Its fine to be nervous (I've actually broken out in a rash from nerves before a pap!), but it shouldn't be debilitating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annual-exam-amp-pap#post-2921390 Tue, 08 Dec 2020 13:02:42 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2921390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you get really nervous and anxious before your annual exam and pap? I’m have debilitating anxiety and worried about cervical cancer. Does anyone else worry like this? </p>
