Terrified of doctors?!
Question: Terrified of doctors!?
Ok here goes, I had a terrible experience at the dr's about 6 months ago, I had a virus of some sort so I went to a walkin clinic just wanting some high grade Ibuprofen so I could sleep!. The only 'dr' there was a Physician's assistant who looked like she was 20 and a medical assistant who was just mean!. I already had some anxiety about being there to begin w/ which I explained right off the bat!. Long story short, before I left I was hooked up to an ekg, some other machine, my pulse was taken 5 times, and it was suggested I had a bacterial infection and should go to the ER!. I started crying b/c I was really freaked out at that point, the P!.A!. then said okay u don't have to go to the ER just promise me u'll have your bf wake you up every couple hours to make sure your temp hasn't gone up more!. My ekg was totally norm btw and my pulse was norm by the time I left, I basically had an anxiety attack b/c they scared me half to death!. I'm completely terrified to go to any dr now help!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Go see a general practitioner!.!.!. and tell them about your fear!. My dentist told me to take Xanax if I have anxiety about a dental procedure!. I'm pretty sure your doc would find it ok if you took one before going to your next visit!.
The person was probably new and covering their bases!. There's really no need to be so freaked out!. I think you know your fear is irrational!. So try and relax and find yourself a regular doc to see on a normal basis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
