Anxiety, or Worse?

Hello, Has anyone felt like this? It all started abut 3 months ago when I was preparing to go to New York for work. I am 18 and from Ireland. About a week before I got on the plane I started feeling very lightheaded and weak, I took it that it was the stress of the move that was causing it.

I went to my doctor and he said I was fine. I went to NY for 2 weeks and had to returns because my symptoms were still there. This included lightheadedness, weakness and the constant thought in my head that I was going to die. So I returned home after the 2 weeks and thought after a couple more weeks it would pass being home with no stress or nothing to worry about. It hasn't.

I have spent the last 1 and a half months feeling the exact same shittyness that comes with whatever this is and last night I felt one of the worst I have ever felt. I really did think I was going to pass out, or worse.

Usually when I'm in bed or on my own it isin't AS bad,but still it is always there in the back of my mind. It seems to escalate when I am around people or going somewhere..These symptoms are pretty much 24/7.The only time I really feel 100% is when I'm asleep, the 2 minutes after I wake up or if I'm drunk. Can this really just be anxiety?? I'm on no meds and have never been hospitalised or needed medicine apart from bad cold here and there.

Thanks in advance for response

Listen bro. First of all I'm 21 and I have never been hospitalized before I'm really athletic playing a lot if sports and still like 3month ago when I came back from America and I came home for my break to relax that's when I started feeling these feeling pain in the chest weakness afraid of something bad is going to happen everything took me a lot of effort so I freaked out so I went to the doc. took two ECG and a Heart Eco and everything came back fine but still the symtomps were still there so thank god I was home so I has time to start learning about it and there is a lot of crap out there about anxiety but a lot of good stuff too you have to find wants sounds too you right I later read about social anxiety and I think that I kind of have that even that I'm a popular guy so I'm reading how to work on it so listen I wrote enough what matters you should know nothing is wrong with you you are not going to die you are going to live a long and beatiful life and work on it slowly and take it easy don't streets yourself about it and let me know how you feel Have a good one !Enjoy life !!?

Hi there

It s a horrible thought the idea that you re about to die.This is called panick.To me it really sounds anxiety with all the body sensation that you described:lightheaded,weakness,feeling if passing out.

And also the fact you brain won t stop thinking.

If I was you I would go to see Gp and talking therapies

Keep us posted

Yep this is so me I don't even know how you got on the plane I can't even really do that good on you. I feel like this everything that you have said it's the worst thing ever and mine has just poped up after a few stresses now I can't seem to get back to normal I find that a work out helps maybe see how you go with that all the best your not alone. Try not to think to much into you weckness and symptoms I find if I try to forget they start going away weird hey the mind is very powerful. Just Remb your not alone

Went to my GP again yesterday, he gave me a week of 0.25 Xanex to see if it helps. Day 2 and I still feel as bad. I am going to book a scan when I go back to my doctor or tuesday. Should these feelings be there 24/7 if it is only anxiety?
