I have to go to the doctor- but I can barely stand the thought of it. I have horrible fear of them! I get high blood pressure and so nervous. I'd probably sweat to death waiting for the doctor to come into the room with me.
I need advice on how to make myself go!!

Your feelings of fear or normal. Lots of folks experience this fear. It's understandable for none of us, want to find anything wrong. Plus the anticipation of the examination alone is a major stress or. Talk to your doctor about your fears, if he or she is not available via a telephone conversation, ask for the nurse of the physician you are seeing. This usually proves very beneficial, for the nurse will make the doctor aware of your fears. These are the two people that will be with you, and they will then be even more sensitive and supportive of your feelings. Good Luck, and don't put it off, you will feel better for having the check-up, after it is all over, I think you will feel a tremendous sense of relief and accomplishment. Thank you for the opportunity to address your question. Best Of Luck To YOU :)

Im the same way,,just do it & you will see that it wasnt so bad.Accually you will feel better knowing that you are ok.I neglected going to the doctor.I had woman problem & by not going ,,it only made it much worse.They are saying that I need surgery now because I waited so long.It would have been a simple procedure if I hadnt.Is not having insurance stopping you? If you are in the USA,,go to the doctor & send Medicaid the bills through Social Services.They WILL help.Good Luck.Now,,get going & make that appointment.Take a friend with you.

Talk on the phone with the doc you are making an appointment with and tell him/her your fears. Ask him/her if you could take an antianxiety med to calm you down before. Or try some relaxtion techniques while waiting. Deep breathing, meditation, imagination.
Tell yourself you need to do this for your health and nothing is gonna scare you.

i get scared like that too, but you need to eventually face your fears. my biggest fear was going to the doctor and dentist, but now i understand that it is better to be healthy and feel healthy, then just start getting unhealthy and you know eventually you are going to HAVE TO GO. so just go and your doctor fear will go away and you will see how much better you are going to get with your fear of going to the doctor!!!
