I even had a little scare about a decade ago when a little transient tachycardia showed up during a sleep study.
Yeah, anxiety has not returned to baseline. COVID has certainly not helped. I haven’t caught it - but I am medically… complicated and a lot of my stuff is respiratory. I mask when I can, which helps but one can only do so much. At least I have a sympathetic GP so I have Ativan for when things are bad now.
It’s a hell of a feedback loop. When I’m super anxious - surprise surprise - my HR and BP are way up (and if I’ve had to use my asthma meds… oh lawd.) thus they want to keep you because you’re not “normal”. Want that stuff to come down? Gimme something nice to relax me, and let me sleep for 5 or 6 hours without a bunch of leads on or someone waking me up every minutes to stick a thermometer under my tongue.
