My problems

 On February 14th 2021 I came home from work and noticed I had severe numbness in the groin and buttocks area. I went to a couple different ER's and they ran CT and MRI scans. They said I had a bad bulged disc that was most likely pressing up against some nerves. I went to see a urologist and an orthopedic surgeon. And a Neurosurgeon. They didn't recommend surgery because I wasn't really having pain or weakness but the numbness. 

So they tried giving me steroidal pills to reduce inflammation. Over the course of two weeks some of the numbness has subsided. But some still remains. I started having very bad anxiety, shortness of breath and dizziness. I had to stay by an open window or sit outside just to feel like I could breath. I didn't know if my condition was causing me to be anxious or just my mind but it was horrible. I went to the ER several nights in a row for the dizziness and shortness of breath. 

I bugged my family to come hold my hand and just be with me during this horrible time but the result was "Call an ambulance if you need one" or "I had plans this evening". So, on top of my already horrible symptoms and feelings I also added feeling that my own family wasn't there for me. I mean, I don't care how old I was or my kids were, if they needed me to be by their side nothing would keep me away. But I guess not everyone feels that way.

One of the ER doctors ran an EKG and said I recently had a mild heart attack. So, Now I have to follow up with a cardiologist. I'm currently awaiting another CT scan appointment. I'm praying they can resolve this numbness issue and that it's not permanent. Prayers are appreciated. I'm taking anxiety meds but I'm still feeling scared and having panic attacks.
