I’m not really sure where to start. I’ve done the research & I feel like I have anxiety but I don’t know who to talk to about it. Like what specific medical professional to talk to. I am about 4 months post partum. Had the baby blues for about 3 weeks but got past that. Now I’m a college student and stay at home mother of two. It’s only moderately stressful but I seriously cannot handle any amount of stress....EVER. I act like the world is ending and it is putting a bit of a strain on my marraige just because he’s so chill and he kinda acts like he thinks I’m a bit crazy because we are polar opposites when it comes to handling stress. I can’t help it though. No stress exercises I’ve tried ever helps for very long. I’ve always been this way. I’ve had hypertension since I was about 21 for no good reason but no doctor ever seemed to worry like my family thought they should. All the primary docs just waved it off and medicated it without really explaining to me what it was, the causes, or the dangers of not treating it correctly. The only doctor that’s ever seemed legit concerned is my OB from this last pregnancy. She seems to think given my otherwise healthy (albeit slightly overweight) report that something else is going on that hasn’t been looked into yet so she is sending me to a cardiologist. I’ve never considered it before but I’m wondering if anxiety is the culprit and if so, is a cardiologist the right approach? Shouldn’t I see a psychiatrist instead? Or both? How do I request this type of referral? I’ve done the research and I seem to fit the bill pretty accurately but I honestly just don’t know what to say or how to go about it. Just want to feel normal.
