I am ready to kill myself I don't know what to do anymore going in the hospital barely able to stand so dizzy leaving the same. I am bedridden now and have a 7 year old. I have problems in my bloodwork but the er never helps me and the docs are not working fast enough especially when I can barely make it to the appointments. I am the only one who drives in my house. To top that off I go to the hospital so much they think I'm there for drugs so whenever I go I have to justify myself and downplay my pain and I do suffer from anxeity but have for almost 20 years and didn't have these symptoms until a couple of years ago. Once I mention the word anxeity I become a person who does not know anything. My bp is very low 90/60 and it shows in my bloodwork. Even when the ambulance comes here they do not take my vitals anymore because they think I'm faking. I can't live like this anymore. I am not a depressed miserable person I love life that is what makes this so sad.

Go to a personal doctor for a second opinion. Always listen to your body... your child needs you! Good luck

This sounds familiar. Didn't you post this situation recently?

If you do take psych meds for the anxiety, of course they can be the cause of your low BP, and the low BP can cause the dizziness and fainting! So are you taking any??

You need to find a GP that will address your problems. The ER is really just a temporary fix for an emergent situation.

Going to the ER time and time again is not going to help anything, they merely make sure you are safe and stable. Then you are suppose to be going to private personal doctors for treatments.
