Avatar m tn I HAVE NORMAL READINGS OF BLOOD PRESSURE AT HOME WHEN IN A RELAXED FRAME OF MIND BUT i GOT A HIGH READING AT THE DOC. OFFICE A YEAR AGO AND THE NURSE SCARED ME,saying are you feeling okay your reading is high, I totally panicked.
Avatar f tn Exactly, I have an extreme phobia for HIV. At the same time, I cannot even resist myself from having sex. But I never have penetrative sex only handjob and insertive oral. Thanks for your answer.
Avatar f tn I first have to ask why someone with an "extreme HIV phobia" would work in a lab such as you do. I have an extreme fear of snakes and they couldn't pay me enough to work around the things. I also can't understand how someone in your position in not one of the most highly qualifed people to know how difficult it is to actually contrract HIV. You say that you always wear the correct protective gear while working with these specimens.
Avatar n tn Does the needle have to be a hollow needle or can one of these little finger ***** needles pass it on and since the person before me did show positive would the small drops of blood that would have his positive blood mixed in make my test positive. Has anyone ever caught hiv from a finger *****? Please help.
Avatar f tn Here is how you get HIV, the ONLY way you'd get HIV: if you have unprotected penetrative vaginal or anal sex or sharing of drug needles. Hiv is inactivated by air and saliva. Every time you have a fear of HIV, remember that. It should alleviate the worry. If you didn't do these things, you aren't going to get HIV.
17213106 tn?1456525991 ve personally taken all three and never suffered any side effects at all, and I managed health foods stores for 18 years and never heard of anyone reporting any side effects. Manukka honey is just another form of honey -- bees pollinating a particular plant that happens to produce a unique antibiotic other honeys don't have. DGL is just a form of common licorice, with the part taken out responsible for most of the side effects commonly reported from licorice (mostly high blood pressure).
Avatar f tn I have a fear for doctors,crazy as that sounds. Really what I have the biggest fear is the blood pressure readings, Every time I hear them rolling in the blood pressure machine, it automatically raises my blood pressure. They say I'm white coat hypertensive. I guess cause my family all have HB pressure, so now I'm fearing the worst. Can anyone relate and give me any help or advice............ I had a doctor's appt today & I mentioned to the Dr.
Avatar f tn s easy to follow and get into. So, work on this issue from the anxiety perspective and let the blood fear go. Blood won't ruin your life, but anxiety can.
Avatar f tn Fear of heights in all its forms is, I believe, the 2d most common phobia (the first is fear of speaking in public, officially, but I'm guessing more people confront heights than the need to speak in public so I'm guessing heights might be the most common fear). I have this phobia, but didn't have it until I got a full-blown anxiety disorder. If this is your only phobia, good; if you have several and are anxious about a lot of things, harder.
Avatar m tn For the past 5 years I have been dodging doctors to the best of my ability due to a fear of needles / medical procedures. In addition there is a deep fear of simply finding out "somethings wrong". I already know I have high blood pressure which I do my best to control with diet and exercise but I still need help. I had a doctor for 10 years that I called my primary care physician but really only saw him a handful of times.
Avatar n tn i have a phobia of hiv/aids which i think has been brought on by OCD because i never used 2 be scared of it, im in constant fear of blood and people throwing it at me on the street and also people always having blood on them. i know this all sounds really stupid but i just cant help it. it used to be finding plasters and needles everywhere but that stopped and now this has started. so if anyone can help me it would really be much appriciated.
Avatar f tn How can I get over a phobia. I have a very weird phobia, i always have the fear of some bug or creature flying in my ear. I never wear my hair up outside and I try to have my hair down inside too if i can. Even when i am sleeping i hate to have my ears not covered. What should i do?
Avatar n tn I have had a toothache/facepain for over two weeks, I know I need to go and see a dentist but I have a great fear of going because of cetain circumstances that happened while going to the dentist as a child. I have been taking advil for the pain and most times it is tolerable but now it seems to be getting worse as it is keeping me awake at night.
Avatar m tn I have anxiety and a really big phobia of HIV. Mostly I think of scary stuff and then I'm anxious and then convinced the actual scary thought happened. Yesterday I cut my finger on the sharp edge of a shoe box at the store. It sliced my finger almost like a paper cut and started to bleed. I left the store and sat in my car debating on whether I could go in the next store with my bloody finger.
Avatar m tn I am afraid I stepped on a syringe(iI know you are thinking this is crazy but yea damn OCD) I know this fear is ocd but I am trying to think of facts to confront this fear with,it worked with fear of HIV and oral sex.
Avatar f tn im 19 years old and i have been in a relationship for a year with my boyfriend we used 2 be sexually active all of the time untill when i was sore we had sex and i started 2 bleed, i bled for 2 weeks and then stopped jst after my period, i asked my sister and a close friend and they both said that it had never happend to them and they dont know why it could have happend, ever since sex has petrified me to the point where it makes me nervous when my boyfriend touches me, i havnt told a doctor, bu
Avatar f tn I have contamination ocd so these rituals relieve my anxiety of getting contaminated with dirty cotton ball or reused needle , I have 2 daughters that are just coming to the age of having to get blood drawn and so I’m concerned that if I give in to these rituals for myself, I’m also going to start demanding these special accommodations at the lab for my daughters as well and it’s exhausting . What should I do?
Avatar f tn And your fear of it going through the flor and contaminating your bed. Not possible. You need to go ahead and realize that this is a serious issue if you are irrational and having a phobia. Do you see a psychologist? If not, please do. This is treatable. Exposure therapy is the best for this type of thing. ERP therapy is what it is called and it is the gold standard. Medication helps too. Are there other things you have irrational fear about?
Avatar f tn Oh. I read the title of the post. Maybe I saw the word phobia and then used it as essentially that was what the poster was implying. Sorry as nothing was intentionally posted to disagree. My eye sight is way too bad to use my phone for this. I have to enlarge and basically should probably wait until I am at my PC to be more 'PC'. Again just wanted to help the poster but didn't"t mean to step on toes.
Avatar m tn One of the ways that people do this is by steering clear of the situations that make them anxious. If you have a fear of heights, you might drive three hours out of your way to avoid crossing a tall bridge. Or if the prospect of public speaking leaves your stomach in knots, you might skip your best friend’s wedding in order to avoid giving a toast. Aside from the inconvenience factor, the problem with avoiding your fears is that you never have the chance to overcome them.
Avatar f tn You are both suffering from a very common phobia. Fear of the dark goes back to the dawn of man and since that time, millions of people have fought it all there lives. Please do not berate yourselves for this phobia or think you are silly for being afraid of the dark at your age. Our phobias are ours to own and suffer with as long as we do nothing about them. Since both of you have stated that your phobia is now interfering with your lives, it's time to take the bull by the horns!

2183887 tn?1338721728 I understand, although I don't fear crowded spaces, or the toilet. I am absolutely terrified of heights and bees. I cant stand being to high off the ground or i start to hyperventilate. And when there's a bee near, I either run away screaming or start to shake with fear. But what I do is try to convince myself that I'm not going to die, an I try to regulate my breathing. That's what I suggest to you. Better yet, you should go see your doctor, and see what they have to say.
446896 tn?1237802742 has anyone successfully conquered their fear of having their blood pressure taken? How did you do it? I really want to get over this. I mean, I feel like i try to do everything right...I eat fairly well, I'm definitely not overweight, dont smoke or drink, somewhat active...the only thing I have trouble with is my anxiety. Ugh...this is frustrating!
