Feelings

[Mouley]

Hi guys ive been gettin sum strange feelings in my bk and side and the usual feelins in my throat which is the bit i hate. Do i go docs about all these feelins or just carry on as normal?? Do i talk to him bout meds as ive never been on them or do i stay clear of them and stay strong??

Your symptoms sound like anxiety to me. I get strange feelings too! However, to reassure yourself, have a chat with your doctor. It may be worth discussing meds- there is nothing weak about taking them- you would take insulin if you we're diabetic so why not take something to stabilise adrenalin/seratonin!?! Only you can decide. Are you having CBT or any other support? I am in the middle of CBT therapy and I am finding it really helpful! Take care x

Hi louisa yea i had my cbt last year and it was really helpful. Im not sure wether to go docs or not. I used 2 b such an adrenalin junkie now im scared 2 get 2 excited and push my limits. Seem to get outta breath easier since i started havin these anxiety attacks. Wot sort of strange feelins u get?? R u takin anythin to control it??? X

Hi, it wouldn't hurt going to the gp to talk to him and get a full check up. Xx

Hiya Mouley

Sounds exactly like the pains I've been getting for months now - I went to the doctors, osteopath etc and the best they could come up with was asthma/allergies after loads of tests. Only when I tipped over the edge this week that I/they realised that I must of been suffering from anxiety for months without even realising it! I like to think I'm a pretty fit 30 yo but this week I've been struggling for breath getting up the stairs, All the muscles in my chest are so tight. I've been doing some yoga breathing techniques that seem to work for a bit but it hasn't stopped completely. I'm going to try some meditation and see if that works as well. started taking citalopram this week but Its making my mood swiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing - hopefully it will level out soon.

Best o luck

Hi russ yea i suffer from asthma anyways so that probably doesnt help. I think its partly health anxiety we have. This whole thing sucks but im stayin strong.
