How can I move forward, and should I feel bad about myself because I do feel terrible?
I have a question about this episode and this clip. I experienced a troubling incident where my face turned red, my pulse went to 150+, and I felt very anxious. The hospital diagnosed it as anxiety, gave me medication, and sent me home. Since then, I have had several episodes of weird sensations, tachycardia, and a constant feeling of being woozy with pressure behind my eyes. I've seen an ENT, cardiologist, and neurologist, but they haven't been able to help. Any advice to help me feel normal again?
