Stress can kill... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Theda Bara · 09-15-2008, 02:13 PM

A couple of days ago, I woke up to find that my right eye was bloody; due, to a broken, blood vessel. Today, I just felt, very edgy. Like I was going to literally, explode. I took my blood pressure. And, almost fainted, it was 179/112. Which is dangerous. Now, I am thin, I work out, I am in good shape. My diet is great. I do not consume a lot of salt, nor, do I eat a lot of "fatty" foods. I am just, STRESSED OUT. I went to school, earlier, and told my professor, that I was unable to attend class, because I needed to see my doctor. I have heard of people having heart attacks around my age. So, now, I am worried that I am, a walking time bomb!!!

So, please, (I know, this is very selfish) but, please pray for me..I need it..

My prayers are with you Tara. Take care of yourself, you are a good person inside and out. I pray the best for you.

Tara, I found a very interesting, but scary study on what stress does to the human body. I posted it last year. Give it a read. Try to find relaxing techniques to help yourself. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Lauren, thank you, for your kind words!

It's not selfish, I hope you feel better soon. I don't handle stress as well as some people, and have a lot of anxiety problems so on some level I understand what you're going through. Not fun.

catlover79 · 09-15-2008, 04:15 PM

My prayers, thoughts & love are with you, Tara.

Take care of yourself and keep us updated!!!!

Deep breath. Take a walk on the beach...that seems calming to me and you're lucky to be close.

I stress myself out all the time; I wonder sometimes if I no longer know how to live stress-free. But if it gets too bad, you just need to say F it...nothing is that important. You know...a bad grade, or dying. Gotta convince yourself that dying is much worse. I know that sounds silly. Just try to look at the positive aspects of things; maybe that will lower your stress a little.

InspectorExstead · 09-15-2008, 05:21 PM

this is definitely not selfish on your part. i'm glad you're seeing a doctor & i hope that everything goes well & that you're able to pick up some techniques to help you relax. stress can really affect the body & my thoughts & prayers are with you tara!
