Panic attacks :(

I've previously posted about my U4 and U3 thyroid nodules being found and sent for FNA. I'm so so worried about the result to the point that I'm sitting here feeling like I can't breathe. 
 

im not even sure why the one was U4, when he said there were microcalcifications - which should mean U5. It all feels inevitable and I can't cope :( just posting for some solidarity or wise words!

  • Hello

    Just jumping on as I saw your post and I know how awful it is to be waiting and wondering. Our minds are so powerful, they can create such real feelings just from thoughts alone, that they physically affect our bodies. Equally though, you can convince your body that all is OK in these moments of panic. Until you know what is what, try your hardest to stay away from the bad thoughts. Take long, purposeful breaths. Breathe in and count for 6, hold for maybe 3, then slowly release your breath for 7 or 8 counts. Repeat 5 times. It will calm your body down and you won't feel so panicked. 

    I went through biopsies/tests and then diagnosis back in January. I understand how worrying this part is. You cannot control the outcome of anything, but you CAN control how you react to it.

    Sending positive vibes your way and a virtual hug.

  • Thank you Vicki! You're so right. I just need to breathe and get though it. My mind is making me imagine so many horrible situations and I hate it. Thank you for taking the time to respond <3
