[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2112938, member: 501623"] I actually became more obviously hypochondriac because I had actual health problems that traumatised me in a way. High blood pressure in my first pregnancy that became preeclampsia, probably exacerbated by anxiety, and I ended up on that magnesium sulfate drip for 24 hours after having had an emergency c-section and being put on pain killers that I turned out to be sensitive to and I was having slight hallucinations - inanimate objects around the room began having faces - they smiled at me mostly :D but one other pain killer in hospital once gave me melting face visions whenever I closed my eyes. I was so out of it. And when I had preeclampsia, before I was put on the Mag sulphate, I'd already discharged myself from the maternity ward (which had been like a zoo it was so busy) and I'd had no sleep, well, hardly any, for about 5 whole days. Then my blood pressure went up even more so the home visit nurse sent me back to hospital and because I was panicking by then, my blood pressure went up even more (still not as high as some people but it touched 170/110) and the doctor, when she got that reading, said to one of the nurses" "I've seen people have strokes with blood pressures lower than this" and next thing red lights were flashing and they were wheeling me away in an emergency to get me on the Mag sulphate so I wouldn't have a seizure... I thought I was going to die! My next OB, (a private one this time) looked through my blood results from my preeclampsia experience and said "Meh, your numbers weren't that bad. I've seen much worse. They made you panic for nothing..." So I think my hypochondria comes a bit from post traumatic stress from that experience. [/QUOTE]
