physical issue turned mental

[TherianLOVER]

So, sometimes I experience lightheadedness, dizziness, shakiness, tremors, etc. Most people told me it could be POTS or Orthostatic Hypertension. Turns out it's just a panic disorder. I feel like it's misdiagnosed since it happens when I stand mainly and laying down helps, but I don't know. I do experience lots of unexpected panic attacks so it could just be that. I'm taking medications for it, but it's so fucking annoying to have. My anxiety has been a lot better, and I kinda alive afrad of having another panic attack, and while I was inpatient they just said that it's a panic disorder, not a physical issue. Or well, not only physical.

When you have time, try talking to your school counselor or parents about this and let them help you so that you will be okay soon. They will be able to help you.

I would suggest talking to your parents, a teacher at school, or another trusted adult. There's nothing wrong with having to take medication, especially if that medication helps with symptoms and it seems to be helping you right now. Wishing you the best of luck!

It's okay if you want to get a second opinion. My symptoms are mostly from anxiety and yours totally could be too, but if you aren't sure of the diagnosis it may be worth talking to your primary care provider and asking what tests can be run to rule out any physical causes of the symptoms.

My parents would freak, I couldn't since I have my drs appointments with my parents in the room.
