PTSD
Hi I’m new here and my story is long. I’ve suffered from nausea and stomach pain for nearly 3 years. I have gone down the path of many Doctors and specialists and still I’m sick to my stomach. Yesterday I finally excepted I have PTSD and anxiety a fact I’ve been told many times. I had a trauma which involved me having food (piece meat ) stuck in my windpipe, it was in there for 25 hours as I live in the country and the hospital was 1 hour away. The doctor at this hospital was very angry I went there and consequently I was left there in a room for 6 hours foaming from the mouth. As no ambulance was available I called my husband who now was 2 hours away, he picked me up and took me to the city which took another 2 hours. The whole time I was in a lot pain, could not swallow and saliva pouring g from my mouth . The awful doctor did organise an emergency operation so I was saved but the stress was horrendous. About 6 months after that I started feeling sick, and virtually for next 2 1/2 years I’ve had panic attacks and feel sick all the time. I constantly go to hospitals and doctors and think something is wrong. I cry most days and I just can’t move on. I have a psychologist and lots care and take an antidepressant but I’m still crap. Yesterday my daughter told me her little girl had to go to hospital after she got a cut on her head and she had to see the same doctor that I had to see!! and bang I had a panic attack ) just from getting told that )I now finally know my problems are in my head. I just want my life back. I’m 64 have a wonderful family and I’m stuck
