Scared I am Dying


20 years ago 0 370 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Thank you everyone for your support. I went to bed with my legs up for most of the day, it seems to have slighly tapered off a wee bit and the pain is still there through not as severe. I expected heavy but not extreme, I guess it took me by surprise, its very hard for me to trust medical people because of bad experiences, I am sorry I did not mean to sound so upset before, I never want to worry anyone or make any of you upset or nervous. I was just infuriated that the GYN never phoned back at least to tell me what to expect and to put my fears a little at rest at least, I was very disapointed and angry the GYN could not at least take 5 minutes, well live and learn. I am feeling better, weak, but better I am just going to stay off my feet for a few days and take it easy, I told my hubby he will HAVE to help, he has been alright taking care of our son, but my house is a mess! Oh well it will be there when I am better. Thank you all for your posts, they helped me so much, you all were so much more informative than the Doctor! I hope everyone is having a panic-free nice Friday night. God bless you all and thank you so much, Deb.

Hi Debbi I agree with Grace and Melanie, call your ER or another hospital that has a health line and speak to a nurse. They will most likely ask you how many pads you are bleeding thru in a hour and alot of other questions. I dont think you will rest until you are checked out by someone. It is probably just a heavy flow because you were so late and were very stressed out thinking you were going to have bad news, but if you are that upset it would be better to go to the ER. Please keep us posted, sending you prayers.

Debbie, call your ER and tell them what your concern is or call a health line number that you speak with a nurse. They are going to ask you how many pads are you soaking through an hour.

Debbi, By the sounds of your post it seems that you are bleeding more than expectred. If you are unable to contact your doctor please go to your nearest Emergency Department. If you are unable to drive then ask a friend or family member to drive you. Please keep us posted!

Jeez Debbi, I wish things would get better for you. I am sure that she will call back. If not, call back once more before 5. Try ibuprofen too. And I don't think that your primary doctor can refuse to see you like that. I know you don't want to hear this, but all the bleeding is normal. It is like 2 periods I guess! Hope you feel better. I am pooped from the day with the kids. It seems like they just didn't want to nap today. I am excited to see my aunts. Them, my mom and I all shop all week, and eat lots of food, see movies. I hope I am okay all week. I have not had an attack since sunday. I really want to enjoy this week. I would be devestated if I couldn't. Well, I am off to shower and go to the airport.

Vickers, God bless you for your prayers and your kind informative reply, it helped. I am trying not to take the Klonopin today, I took one last night, she said I could take it twice a day, but I am afraid since the half-life is so long it will build up in my body and I will accidently overdose. I am going to try and elvate my legs over my head or sit in ice water I heard that lessens the flow, I know this nurse will not call back, its the weekend and she does not want to be bothered, if she would just call and explain things. Thank you again Vickers your experience and information calmed me some what, I am so grateful, thinking you are dying is a scary thing. Thank you so much again, Debbie.

Don't worry Debbi - everything is going to be ok! I truly believe that if there was any concern about a health risk, your doctor would have admitted you to a hospital! It takes time for these things to get better. I know it hurts and it is scary but you have to hang in there - it will be ok! I've always had very screwy periods. Once I also thought I was bleeding to death. It was so bad that every time I stood up, the blood would literally run out of my like running water! Every time I sat down it would pool up inside of me so when I stood, it was like someone turned on a faucet - it would even be cold blood because it wasn't coming from inside like a normal period, it was just sitting there waiting for me to move so it could flow. I had this problem for four weeks straight! It was so immensly painful every day! I was told by my doctor that you cannot bleed to death from menstruation no matter how much you feel like you are. This blood does not come from the blood your body reserves to live. I don't really know how to explain that but it's like a reserve for menstral bleeding. I'm not a doctor or a nurse but I have been reading your posts and I am sure that what you are experiencing is a strong blood flow from having a late period and I'm certain the pain is coming from the pressure of the build up. Try a heat pad or take a wet towel and microwave it and lay it on your stomach or back where it hurts. Don't microwave it long enough to burn you, just so it's comfortably hot. Do not give up on your doctor! She may be busy but she has not forgotten about you! Keep calling if you have to though. If you are not satisfied with this doctor, go to another. But, because she is running the tests and knows the situation, give her a chance. Don't give up - You will be ok! Listen to calming music and breathe deep. I am praying for you!

Ever since my "procedure" I have been bleeding badly weak dizzy and tired. I feel like the life is draining from my body, I even told my husband to call a priest for last rites, he thinks I am insane probably. I called the GYN nurse-practioner twice and she willNOT call me back, my husband says she got the money and now I am on my own, I even called my primary care Doctor since I have not even seen yet out of desparation, the secretary coldly told me to follow up with the GYN who treated me, I would be glad to if she would just phone back, the pain and bleeding are rough and its scaring me to death I am going to bleed to death and die, I will NEVER EVER see another medical person, they mistreat you, hurt you, and leave you to die or suffer on your own, I should never of went I was better off just in pain instead of bleeding and pain, you would think she would call back but I know she will not, I hate to agree with my Husband but she has the money and now will not help me, I am afraid to even nap afraid I will not wake up, I am so scared. Debbie.
