So went back to the doctor's office today to give them my decision about stating to take drugs for anxiety (the answer was no way, by the way). Turns out that my blood lab values had come back badly for thyroid function. Their initial diagnosis is hyperthyroidism (to be specific Grave's Disease), and they pulled more blood to retest the values. So on Friday I will call and find out if the bad values were confirmed by the second blood test and if the regular doctor will be doing anything or if they will be punting me directly to a specialist in endocrinology.
Now hyperthyroidism causes symptoms that mimic extreme stress - mood swings, racing heart, the works.
Combine that with a lot of actual stress from work, and no wonder I have been such a stressed out mess.
