is it possible to get setbacks from these things?
 
I would be happy to get an oppinion about this. Maybe you have experienced something similar.

Can one get a setback from 1. a very bad sleep over weeks(3-4h max),
2. Inflammination, 3. Excessive thinking that causes pain and you cannot really stop, 4. A very stressfull event, 5. Very high blood pressure for very short time, 6. High bp over longer time, 7. a lot of quick head movements in short time

I am talking about a setback not a interruption of recovery.

I don't see a different between a setback and an interruption of recovery.

None of those things amount to a new injury or even re-injury. You are grossly overthinking this. You really need to resolve your anxiety issues. They are slowing you down.

1. a very bad sleep over weeks(3-4h max),
Anxiety messes up sleep. Lack of sleep causes symptoms to persist.
What are you doing to help with sleep ?

2. Inflammation,
Where, From what ?

3. Excessive thinking that causes pain and you cannot really stop,
? Are you saying you can't stop thinking and end up in pain ?

4. A very stressfull event,
Can cause a relapse of symptoms for a day or so.

5. Very high blood pressure for very short time,
Make you feel lousy for a while but that is it.

6. High bp over longer time, No, But, Worry about high BP will cause prolonged symptoms.

7. a lot of quick head movements in short time
Are these head twitches ? If so, NO.
If you are violently shaking your head for an extended period of time, stop doing that.

Hi Chris,

Excessive thinking, inflammation, high blood pressure, high bp are (and I will adamantly say) the results of your setback not the cause.

A very stressful event I would place as your cause which resulted in the very bad sleep.

Yes very bad sleep due to stress will cause you to have a setback, but it won't be a complete setback. It is the way you perceive what you are going through now that matters. You are not back at the start.
Please know that your sleep during recovery is vital and I am sure you know that which is probably worrying you. Concentrate on getting the sleep pattern back. Go to bed at the same time every night and use what suits you(homeopathy etc) to help you sleep. (no mobile phones, tv, music) Do not sit up worrying that you cannot sleep. Even lying in your bed is rest. Any rest is better than none.

Blood pressure and an elevated heart rate will return to normal with rest. As for a lot of quick head movements, they will cause you to have a few days of recurring symptoms that should settle down.
Please can you give any more detail as to the very stressful event? Because these are clearly responsible for your heart issues.......
