My symptoms showed up out of the blue a day or a few days later @utopia, after the high stress incident /s had passed and everything seemed back to “normal”. I am not sure what that means exactly but I suspect unresolved emotional pain and sadness send neurological undercurrents through the body which then surface almost randomly in physical symptoms.
My episodes earlier in the year were accompanied by raised blood pressure, so they kept me in hospital overnight, but once they realised what my home circumstances were the doctors decided against medications to control my blood pressure, because I have no history of blood pressure problems ..... the psychosomatic raising of my blood pressure was like I had had a sudden fright or something .... and you don’t get medicated for blood pressure responses to fear. If you are constantly in such a state of anxiety, and I presume that may refer to someone with a high anxiety personality type, perhaps that is cause for being medicated. I am not sure ....
Have you heard of “disenfranchised grief” ? I think that is what I am struggling with as the neurological undercurrent, as well as hypervigilence during our down-rollercoaster weeks when I may have to raise shields, problem-solve rapidly in suddenly stressful circumstances, etc
Does that make sense to you ?
