Try slow deep breathing in through the nose hold for a count of four and then out slowly as if you are blowing a candle out try it 10 times counting as you go.Have you been to the doctors about this and had an ECG.You could also try a website called headspace it might help you relax.

Thanks kenny, I went up the hospital and had a test, I am fine (silly me) haha apparently it is just anxiety... which lately seems to be getting a lot worse I start getting on top of it and then bam it hits me again. Think it's time to go back to the doctr and see about a change in meds! I need to kick this, I feel like I am going crazy the harder I try the worse it gets, I try to stay positive but it's getting so hard. I never feel myself anymore. I really don't want to lose everything I have worked so hard for.

A change of meds might be one way to go but you could ask for CBT or another talking therapy they really are good and help enormously.

Morning,

I have just seen your comment and wondered if I can help you on anyway?

I suffered from a rare anxiety which involved me having seizures and now I don't even have a problem. At first medication was the only route and yes it does help but the side effects are horrible at the start.

Home help ideas.....

Music: get your best music into your ears and go for a walk and breathe in the fresh air......

Swimming is another and get into a Jacuzzi and steam room helps the muscles relax.

Then massage that's the best, fall asleep if you can.

If you need a chat please contact me.

Sending you positive thoughts.

I still have this dull ache in my chest. I'm wondering if it is indigestion... but it affects my arm to, my arm aches... had a ecg done last week and all was fine. I was told it was just anxiety! It goes away then comes back... I've even quit smoking this week due to the pain worrying me... I just want it to go away

Chest pains are normally associated with Panic Attacks and I can relate to you being scared, its a normal reaction to chest pains

Hi wanna ...chest pains are very normal sign of anxiety and so are tingly arms...anxiety causes many real physical symptoms sadly this causes us to feel worse and the anxiety starts again as there is no real fear to run from. It's difficult to calm down I know... Can take hours/days sometimes. Hope you start to feel better soon
