Coming down from anxiety after EMG

[tearsneverfall]

I was just wondering does it take a while to come done from the anxiety built up that you have until you have a normal EMG result?

I had one yesterday and I feel out of sorts today and still quite anxious. You would think I would feel soooo much better but I still feel odd and my heart is still racing.

I feel clumsy and tired!

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Karen

God yes - you have been through a true TRAUMA, and your body needs time to heal. Your best road is sleep, and a lot of good, solid deep breathing. You will probably not feel "right" for some time - it took me weeks to truly feel physically better, but I know some had a lot of relief right away. If you can get yourself in a mindset that you are recovering (like from a surgery) - your body will just heal in its own way and on its own schedule.

Mental relief should come right away - trust in what happened yesterday, and enjoy it. I took several great walks over the next couple of days after my first EMG, and just breathed in the fresh air and enjoyed the simple things. That really seemed to help accelerate the healing process, as simple as it sounds.

Smile - enjoy your day!!!
