anxiety therapy in ct

Without a doubt, what you are going through is anxiety related. They did every test they could, short of an autopsy, to find this "lump" and they came up empty handed. A "lump in the throat feeling" is very common in anxiety and as someone who also suffers with reflux, I can reassure you that I often get that feeling when MY GERD is acting up. Perhaps the Nexium is just not adequate and I'd speak with my doctor or gastroenterologist about trying something else.

I can almost GAR-ON-TEE that if you don't BELIEVE in therapy, it won't work. And I can almost GAR-ON-TEE that if you DO believe in therapy, it won't work. That's right. WON'T work either way. Therapy, alas, is not a belief kind of thing. You don't believe, you don't disbelieve. You just DO it. As wolfie has observed, it is another word for: "work." So, when you say you don't believe in therapy, it is the same as saying you don't believe in work.

Blood tests, 3 neurologists, 2 ents, a CT scan only to find nothing in the process. The constant dizziness has me basically housebound and get out during the week but mostly staying in because I avoid any kind of trigger for both my dizziness and my anxiety. Because I'm ill I can't work of course and can't afford any kind of therapy to begin with so I just sit around trying to find any online help.I'm afraid I'm going crazy. I feel spaced out and disoriened all the time.

s ugly head demanding to be dealt with in the form of anxiety and/or depression. Therapy is very helpful with this and can help you discover what that may have been...deal with it and move on. But therapy can be a lengthy process so often medication is needed to control the sympotms, just like any other medical condition. You don't have to feel this way, there is so much help for you and you're certainly not alone. I hope this helps and best wishes.

t need to feel this way, there is so much help for you with therapy and/or medication. Anxiety feeds off our fears and worries, so the more you worry about having a brain tumor the stronger your anxiety grows....creating more symptoms. Acceptance is key to getting better, see a psychiatrist for an evaluation and go from there. Best wishes.

The symptoms you refer to seem more like anxiety but if you go to a neurologist and want to get tested, keep in mind that their is no conclusive test for MS. So your anxiety will not go away. Did you get an MRI or CT scan of your cervical spine and do you have stenosis of the spinal cord? The C2 disk would probably cause pain in the shoulders and neck.

Now, you have to confront your anxiety in my opinion. I also spent months fighting the doctors, just knowing something was wrong and falling victim to that 'what if?..' thinking. If it wasn't that, could it be this? It is both very frustrating and time consuming and it also led me to being afraid to leave the house and sent me into a tailspin and I became very depressed. Not only is anxiety hard to deal with, it also robs us of our self identity in my experience.

But, fine one who specializes in anxiety treatment. Usually that will meant CBT. Most will advertise as covering it but then you see them and find they know nothing at all about chronic anxiety but mostly do relationship problems. Everyone specializes these days. CBT therapist also generally don't take insurance; nor do most psychiatrists who do therapy.

Learned the thyroid does A LOT. I had the head ct done, it was ok. Now im trying to find the right balance of meds, therapy, and i guess working thru it. I know how you feel. I want my life back. Im told it gets easier to deal with, but i am not a patient person, which makes it worse. I will tell you what ive been told. Hang in there, get a strongsupport system and fight thru this.

For example my anxiety def comes from my mother so when I am in therapy I can talk freely about what is going on and what the triggers are for anxiety. I also take cymbalta which helps with anxiety and makes me think clearly. The doctor will help by using cognitive therapy, hypnotherapy etc. It is the better way to go if you want help.

it is very possible that your symptoms are caused by anxiety or depression. However, for peace of mind, you should make sure that you have regular physicals and blood work. Also, I would make sure you try the suggestions given by the doctors, be it medications or therapy, to help with the anxiety and depression. If it doesn't help, then you can push harder for scans like a CT or MRI. What docs have you seen? A neurologist or only your primary?

I must admit I am concerned because in the past year I have had several chest ct scans and am worried that the radiation may have caused some damage to that part of my anatomy.To make things worse I went against my own rule and googled these symptoms and came up with lung or esophageal cancer.Now I am really worried!!Should i get further testing or just attribute it to my anxiet!?!?This is so frustrating!Please advise. Regards, Dimi.

Tests done to diagnose this condition are X ray, ultrasound and CT scan. But a fine needle aspiration biopsy may clinch the diagnosis and therapy is usually with surgery, it calls for complete removal of the swelling. The lump could also be a sebaceous cyst, a lipoma or a thyroid nodule. You may need to consult your primary care physician who will examine you and initiate appropriate therapy. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

t believe its physical because although they are always there, they vary in intensity and medically related symptoms that are chronic tend not to vary in intensity. Nonetheless my doc ordered a CT scan that I will take later today as an exclusionary process. I guess I am just wondering if other people with anxiety have chronic symptoms like this that are there at varying degress of intensity even when you are not feeling anxious?

I guess this answers the question I asked in your first post. Yes, therapy makes us nervous. It's supposed to -- if the therapist specializes in anxiety treatment, you will be pushed gently to face the things you're afraid of so you can learn to stop thinking fearful thoughts. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But it's always uncomfortable, as you're there to work on what's making you uncomfortable outside the office.

well i am presently in therapy for panic disorder and I take meds and do therapy it depends on the individual. Depends on how severe your anxiety may in fact be. Some people have to use both meds and therapy-like myself. But don't think about anyone else situation besides yours. You are different and your triggers are different. Go to it and if you realise that it is not working I am certain your therapist will realise it and then probably choose another course of treatment.

I'm not sure when it will start but I am eventually going to have to go to therapy for my Anxiety and Depression. I've never gone to therapy before. What is it like? The thought scares me a little. I would appreciate any input.

I assume you have had an X-Ray before? Pretty much feels the same in my opinion. The most anxiety provoking aspect for some is the big machine that they see when they walk in the room. You will be fine.

I have heard that taking hormones can lead to a higher risk in getting breast cancer. How long in all have you taken hormones?

This does sound like anxiety. My husband can have anxiety from time to time and has had an entire cardiac work up. His heart is fine. I found this comforting but its an indication that he does need to work on controlling that anxiety. I would switch gears, do some self talk that it's not your heart--- it's your anxiety trying to scare you.

Reflux is basically a digestive problem, and these are common in anxiety sufferers. Headaches can also be caused by anxiety. Have you ever tried meditation? What have you tried if anxiety is a problem?

You are allowed to cry in therapy, in fact a majority of people do at some point in time.

t have one and was pleased that she was reassured. However, a CT came back showing a 5 mm nodule in my lung. The ER doctor said it could be an old scar from pneumonia. But, I've never had it. I did quite smoking 15 years ago. I used to smoke a pack a day for about 13 years. I need another CT in 6 months. I feel stupid. When this was all initially mentioned, I blew it off assuming it's just scar tissue from the surgeries. It never registered that this is my lung.
