I’m so tired of doctors just assuming everything I say means “pregnant, anxiety, stressed”

Can we also talk about how the recommendation is always “find ways to lower your stress” like do you think I’m like that on purpose or ??? that’s literally why I’m here in need of medical help

Like??? I went to ER last night bc my legs were turning fucking purple and blue. My feet were freezing. My blood pressure was 170/110. First they ran a pregnancy test bc I was throwing up too. Then they told me I had an anxiety attack and asked me if I had ever talked to a counselor or thought about getting on medicine for it.

I’ve had anxiety and panic attacks… that is not what that is. I’m sorry they dismissed you like that, that sounds so scary :(

I’ve dealt with anxiety my whole life. I know what it looks like. I wish it weren’t such a common practice to just brush women off when they say somethings wrong:(
