Hi Angie
You're okay I am sure. If the ENT people can't find a problem then it is likely to be intermittent and mild, and don't be frightened of the exercises they have given you because they are designed to make you better. Please persevere with what they have told you to do. It can only help.
Also it does sound as if your anxiety is on the increase again... also if you are thinking that your husband has had enough of you then that is only going to add to your distress. (also ask yourself... has he really had enough of you, or are you 'predicting' his state of mind - this is a classic form of anxious thinking - mindreading what you think other people are thinking but always to the detriment of yourself! - yes, I do it too>)
I too detest going to the dentist (but honestly can anyone say they really enjoy it?) but if you avoid going you are storing up worse trouble for your teeth and work you might need in the future. Get yourself along there for a check-up - small amounts of work have got to be better than some mammoth dentistry in a couple of years time if you neglect it. I am not telling you off, just trying to look at it from a rational viewpoint. I have a horrible reaction to the injections every time - it makes me shake for quite a while afterwards - you know when I rinse out with the water they give you, I can hardly hold the cup, (dentist said there is adrenaline in the injection), but now that I know I suppose I can know it is the injection rather than me having a panic attack in the chair. I do try to go every six months for dentist and hygienist though.
I find I am much more anxious and stressed when my husband is around because of the way he is around the kids, and always feel like he is angry too. He says he isn't but I feel like he is. And I get irritated because he doesn't want to help out in the garden (man jobs that are too big for me - after all, if I had wanted to do heavy DIY jobs and cut back enormous shrubs I would have stayed single
) Marriages are hard work even when you have the best of relationships and normally get on really well with your partner. And any close relationship can make you feel anxious from time to time for any reason.
And you know if your anxiety is on the increase all these nasty symptoms get worse too.
do you like chocolate - try to eat a load of Easter Eggs this weekend - apparently it's good for moodboosting serotonin, just as long as the caffeine doesn't set your heart rate going weird!
Happy Easter
