Scared I'm gonna have to cancel op @devastated Started by: Nicole

It won’t affect you being put to sleep but I will say this if you get to the hospital and you are panicking and getting yourself in a right state they will not put you under GA you must try and stay calm! Once your asleep your asleep nothing bad will happen 100% I suffer from it bad and I got real bad coming up to my op! When you get there all you have to say is I’m really scared about being put to sleep can you give me something to calm me down ect and they will xxx

It is really horrible before I started my course I’m on I started feeling dizzy all day my heart would race I just felt so stressed like I was going to faint and that’s all because of this stupid course! Now I’m on it and I realise the course isn’t bad atall I’m fine iv had nothing since ! You must think positive youl be getting lovely boobies at the end of it and once you have been woken up from the GA youl be like omg put be back under was the best sleep ever haha xxx

it is totally normal to feel how your feeling though, I don’t think what anyone says or does will change how you feel its just something you have to overcome by yourself, don’t change dates you might then feel even more paranoid about it being moved forward because youl then be waiting even longer! but you will be fine in the end once they are done you will be laughing to yourself xxx

The GA won’t affect ur anxiety don’t worry! I think u stated on another post that u can’t have beta blockers? R u asthmatic? That would seriously sort u out with ur anxiety lol, discuss with ur GP if there is an alternative than beta blockers. Some people with asthma do take beta blockers I have patients who do! U just need to be assessed! As it cause a wheezing xx

I had problems with anxiety for years hun had the exact symptoms as you, feels like a heart attack but it’s adrenaline which causes the fight or flight response which is why your heart races. You will be fine it’s usually caused by stress and I’d say worrying about the operation xxx

Are you asthmatic and have they checked for it? Dyou mean your breathing is shallow or wheezy?
Anxiety attacks do actually cause breathing to become uncontrolled so it could be that but if you’re asthmatic you need an inhaler xx

Inhaler wont help it will make it worse, it may seem like its your asthma but its not, the I inhaler will make your heart rrate faster which will cause you to panic more xx

Really deep breathing, there’s a few exercises perhaps try googling it. One was deeply breathe in through nose fully whilst your belly raises and exhale fully through mouth while belly deflates. 10 times. It should make you feel a bit calmer too and distract you from worrying.xx

Are you sure your not over thinking on it hun??
I get this sometime been to docs and everything is fine with me, its simply just me other thinking and concentrating on my breathing waiting for something to happen..
So now i dont think about it and im fine. No meds no inhalers of the docs jus me taking control of it.. i think its down to you over thinking , if the doctors are saying i dont know what you want me to do??

I think you are just thinking on it hun and making it worse… i suffered from this a lot but now im controlling it alot better… it may be anxiety but im not going to docs about it cos i dont wanna be on anxiety tablets the rest of my life , so im controlling it my own way…. what do you feel like when it starts to come on?
