Being on beta-blockers is possibly one of the strangest feelings I've ever experienced. Its now Wednesday, in 48 hours time I'll be sat in the dentist waiting room trying to not die right there on the spot. I'm terrified, but my body is refusing to respond to this feeling. My heart rate is slow, I'm not sweating, I'm not trembling...it's sort of like my brain is thinking "hang on a minute, you're not scared, you're heart rate hasn't even increased! Pffft!"
I've never taken any medications that deal with 'emotions' so to speak, so this is taking some getting used to. I wake up in a morning and panic about Friday, take a tablet, and an hour later feel Ok about it, not great, but like I can cope. Odd.
My mind is so pre-occupied by the impended doom of Friday, that I haven't even really had time to think about my mock egg transfer tomorrow! I hope it goes well. I know from my HSG that my cervix is 'S' shaped, and its in my notes, so hopefully it will be a good practise run for the actual event.
Glad you're getting a practice run! From experience, definitely a must, I think. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Im glad they're doing a mock, I know how long and how many different catheters it took to do my HSG, so they definitely need a look!
