Hi. I just had to write something because its 3:21 in the am and I'm up on the computer doing my semi monthly freak out. I haven't had one in quite a while, so that fact is freaking me out. I just started my 2nd period post removal yesterday, so I'm thinking I should not be having any symptoms anymore. I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night to find my heart racing, felt nausea coming on so I get up and check my BP with a BP cuff (I was a nurse before I had kids, that's why I have one) and my BP was 139/82, when it is usually 110/70. I know its not that high, but enough to get me out of sleep. So, I get up and get out my laptop and surf the net for a few minutes, and check it again. It goes down to 120/78, but I still freak out and swear that I feel pain in my jaw and arm. It's funny because I feel very unsettled, but I don't go into the complete panic mode that I used to(my BP used to go higher and I would get short of breath, more nausea, and chest pain)but, the initial heart palpatations are still there, and I can't help but get nervous about them. A 32 year old woman shouldn't have to worry about her heart, especially one that's gone to the doctor 50 times in the past six months because of mirena side effects, and had to have an echocardiogram that came out fine, and knows full well that this has been happenening to me only because of the mirena. I'm so sick of this, I just want to feel normal again. I do 80% of the time now, but this other 20% of the time that I don't just makes me crazy.
