Lost

[Espinoza38]

I've been down this road many times. I've cried I've begged I've prayed and it seems to work for awhile. Then my mind tells me something is about to happen. I do my best to ignore it and seems to work, till I stop and rest. Now I'm laying in bed with chest pain and wondering if this is it??? But I know its. I just want it to stop. 😢😢😢😢😢

In my experience it’s just my mind working itself up. I get that too, I get sweaty and think something is going to happen and I need to take some sort of action but it’s all the anxiety. When this happens I try to count my breathes or say “I’m ok” continuously or look at the objects and colours around me and just try to watch them and focus on it.

I’m not sure if this is what you meant, just sounds familiar to me.

I hope I made sense. ❤️❤️

[Espinoza38 in reply to Kimingram0202]

Yes that's how I felt earlier. All I did was go to the store then home. I was sitting down then i started sweating and i was like ok it's nothing. But i started with chest pain do i went to lay down. It went away after awhile but now i have a spasm on my shoulder. I'm so tired of this.

Thank you. It makes sense. I a friend on this forum had told me about it. It could be due to the surgery I had when I was 27. It was a ribgraft.

im there with you. feeling good for awhile, now yesterday and today arm pain and jaw pain. so tired of the weird pains. just want to be normal again.

[Espinoza38 in reply to Rilo7268]

I know yesterday I felt so good actually took all my kids and grandchildren out. I had an awesome time. Like all i could think of was wow I wish I could feel like this everyday.

How do you make your arm and pain go away? Hope you start feeling better. You think its tension we feel.

[Rilo7268 in reply to Espinoza38]

i think it has to be tension at this point. ive had it for months. had all the heart tests. i haven't had tingling in awhile, just arm pain usually in the side of the upper arms. i get elbow pain too. the dr said it was tennis elbow. usually i can ignore the pain. sometimes it gets to me though and sends me into fear.

[Espinoza38 in reply to Rilo7268]

That's how I am. Right now I'm feeling off. My chest feels full I'm dizzy my mouth is dry. I just want to cry but I cant I'm at work.

Feel better, dear Espinoza38, i think physical discomfort makes you think this way, and see things in dark colors. It happens to me all the time. But it will get better physically and your spirits will be better as well.

Take care of yourself meanwhile, have rest ...and try to think positively. Love!

[Espinoza38 in reply to morenews]

Thank you. I'm a do my best to not let it get the best of me. I'm honestly tired of all this pain.

[morenews in reply to Espinoza38]

I saw that you were in the hospital...but may be you need to find out what are those pains...to get to the bottom of it. Because it does not look like it is really determine what is wrong. I feel very anxious when it is not clear what it is...but if i do something or at least have a plan of steps i will take to get a diagnosis , it calms me down, and if i am more calm...my pain is less. Don't you think it would be helpful to make some plan like that for you as well?

[Espinoza38 in reply to morenews]

I've asked what the pains could be where are they coming from. They told me it is not my heart thank God. That it could be inflammation in my muscles. Especially on my left side, I've had several surgeries on that side. I've had ribs put in and removed. I was given naproxen in the ER for the inflammation. But my anxious self has not taken them. I'm so dumb.

[morenews in reply to Espinoza38]

It is not dumb. Can you take it now? I am sorry about the inflammation and pain. World looks darker when you are in pain. So the first thing is to deal with that...I think.

Please feel better !

[Espinoza38 in reply to morenews]

I'm trying to feel better but for some reason I feel crappy today. I know its because I focus so much on my pain. I'm at work and I just want to cry.

[Tamka39 in reply to Espinoza38]

U should take your medication so it can help with the pain. I was panicking last night and afraid to take my medication but I talk to people on this app and other app and I decided to take half and am glad I did because it save me a trip to the E.R.

[Espinoza38 in reply to Tamka39]

I take my ibuprofen but today I forgot and now I'm feeling off and crapy and sad
