Are you a Hypochondriac too?

You are right about that…my problem was that I was convinced that I was having a heart attack! I have been on medication for panic disorder for close to 11 years. 3 months after my blood sugar reading of 775 sent me to the ER (and I was diagnosed with type I diabetes), I was back there with a severe panic attack. Ever since then I have seen psychiatrists regularly (since moving to Virginia in 2005 I went through 4 before finding one that I liked…) and have been on multiple medications to treat the condition. Things are under pretty good control, but could be better. In the past year, I have ended up in the ER 4 times from being found past out in public places due to a severe drop in blood sugar. I’m working with my endocrinologist on fixing this problem.
