I had since about 3 month problems , heartack similar pain,passing out....they couldn't find anything and just gave me benzodiazepines which I did not know what they were..but the way highly addictive,they only told me something to calm me down you have anxiety the person next to me also anxiety.not even my therapist put me on benzos.i went a few times to the ER cause I couldn't get appointments with my primary care for over 2 month.i did get diagnosed now with anxiety but they did not know that back then.today I had breathing problems and went to the er and Jeri, the nurse who checked me in looked at me and said "looks like you don't have such a problem breathing". When they did bring me to the room I heard the nurse saying oh she comes in a couple times a month, she has anxiety. First of all, you're a scribe not a doctor. As soon as the doctor came in he acted weird. My husband directly said to the doctor "anxiety what?" and I told him it's not anxiety this time, and said that It's more than anxiety. The doctor then said that he wanted to order a big lung functioning test and guess what the nurse brought, a peak flow meter! the nurse did the test with me and it was off but he didnt even tell the doctor.my blood pressure was over 180 and at 176 the nurse said u can go home, it's way lower now.i was still dizzy..Feeling sad about how they treated me.makes me not wanna go there anymore at all even if I have an emergency out of fear that they will think it's anxiety again.
