Hello thank you for posting.
I've had a real rough time since my first panic attack started about 4 months ago. I've always been a very anxious person and
stressed easily. Since my first attack I always pretty much feel nauseous weak and lightheaded but when I have an attack my symptoms are racing/pounding
heart hot n cold flashes feel shaky knot in stomach dry mouth weak numb hands disoriented numb mouth feel like I can't speak properly feel like I could pass out. Pretty much everyday I have heart palpitations chest pain tightness in chest feel like I'm choking heart races/pounding or low heart rate and my face feels warm? I'm constantly worried there's something wrong with my heart I'm terrified even tho my dr and drs at the hospitals tell me I'm fine. I've had 3 EKGs 3 complete sets of blood work and even hooked up to a heart monitor in the hospital and they all say I'm fine so why don't I feel fine???
This was like me, I'll get palpitations a lot. Still get them now. Everyone has a palpitations they are normal and all in your mind. The tightness in your chest is anxiety aswell. The numbness in your hands is you breathing heavy and that's why your body is acting like this. All the symptoms here are anxiety and think to your self, this is anxiety when you feel like this or if you feel like this all the time. Ekg read anything wrong with your heart. So there's nothing to worry about I had all these symptoms I still get them but I they fade away with nothing to worry about. it's just a vicious cycle a lot "what if" that play on your mind. It's just go to be broken from yourself and you will break if you believe in yourself. I believe you. There is nothing wrong with you. TRUST ME THIS WAS ME!
Thank you for the response it's still very hard for me to cope with all this or even believe that it is indeed anxiety. I'm a single mom to an amazing 3 yr old lil girl so it just breaks me to think even for a second that there's something wrong with me. So really even all these weird little things my heart does is all anxiety??? The racing the pounding the low heart rate and feeling nauseous and weak and the warm face like a low grade fever. It's all anxiety??? Being woken up in the middle of the night feeling like this
Yes you have had 3 ekgs and they comeback perfect these feelings will go overtime but you have to beat it, and no need to fear death your going no where you have beautiful daughter so live life and don't worry about your health these feelings are normal.
The other night I didn't sleep well at all kept waking up cause I felt lightheaded or like passing out or something. It's hard to describe. Is my anxiety that bad that it's affecting me like that?
You must think I'm crazy lol
Nope I don't lol, hyperventilating when you don't realise it. The gp would of picked up any signs of something serious. Don't believe these things you see on the news or shows they are there to make them look 20x as they are. Don't worry I know how you feel and it's all just anxiety it's been cleared with your doctor and the hospital so nothing to worry about. Just anxiety nothing else!
Well jeez wish I could have you by my side at all times telling me that it's just anxiety and that I'm going to be ok. My anxiety had been so bad that I'm not home. My girl n I have been staying at my parents. My mom has been so wonderful through this she's there for me in the middle of the night when I'm having an attack. I'm not on any meds for it as my dr tried me on cymbalta I had a severe reaction to then she prescribed citalopram for the first few days it was fine then it just made my symptoms worse so she prescribed efforex but I haven't started them as I'm afraid
Do the medication the symptoms will go and you won't feel them horrible feelings. I am next to supporting you to get better if
you need help or someone to talk to I'm here!
That's so awesome of you. My friends try n support me but they don't actually understand how I feel so makes it hard.
And the meds I'm terrified to try them. I've been working on this self help program called attacking anxiety and depression by Lucinda Bassett I'm on the second week of the 15 week program. Fingers crossed it woks
It will and no one will understand until they go through it. It Is quit annoying because you want be normal like them but you feel like you ain't. But everyone with anxiety is normal and sane hope I have helped and like I say need a chat I'm here
Thank you and I hope so I really do why do I get these feelings of just not feeling well several times a day when my anxiety is bad. Drives me nuts
Exactly I just want to feel normal again and not feel sick anymore. Just want my old life back where I wasn't so afraid to be alone 
You will get your old life back. It just anxiety. So need to worry about getting your own life!
You will get your old life back. It just anxiety. So need to worry about getting your own life!
Had an attack last night and this morning
Fell asleep to my relaxation tape then woke shortly after to realize it had finished and I was cold started shivering like crazy then my heart started pounding and breathing faster thought I was going to hyperventilate mouth was dry so got up grabbed a water and blanket relaxation tape and sat up with my mom till I fell asleep in the recliner. The attack this morning was bad I thought I'd have to go to the ER but I made it through and still not feeling so great
I do as well and am losing weight
I've had extremely similar situations. A chest ct scan. Heart monitors. A brain MRI. They all come up normally. So all roads lead to anxiety. You will get through this
I went through similar experience last fall. Hospitalized for three days. Thought I was dying of a heart attack. Take medication for anxiety if you need to. I know it's scary. I started a new medication and it's worked wonders for me. Try getting out of the house if you can. Change of scenery can help. Maybe a pet. I got a dog in March and it gives me something else to focus on.
Hi Pink1181
Boy, can I relate! I have had chronic anxiety all my life, now I have doing what you do. I just did the 30 day monitor and it came back fine. A few extra beats but he said I have no restrictions, just do relaxation, eat right and exercise.
I go to a thereapist, and had hypnotherapy yesterday, I felt so good all day. Not nervous a bit. Now, today I woke up scared again( that is what I have been doing for the longest time now. At by night my stomach is a total know. I am very discouraged by waking up feeling about the same today. I know it is a mind trick, but I hate feeling this way. I was supposed to go to the pool this morning , but my mind was worrying about my heart! It is a vicous circle. I have trouble acting normal with friends so don't really see anyone anymore. Very lonely and sad too~
Maybe I need more hypnotherapy~ I don't know~
Hope you are having a decent day. Ileen
How do you deal with panic attacks and thinking everyone around you is going to be hurt or die? Thankyou for posting this ... I just can't get better from this...
Compo69• in reply to
I say to myself when I get these thoughts, it's just thoughts and not reality. Have positive thoughts don't let the panic attack/anxiety beat you. If you have a panic attack don't fight them they are irrational thought not reality. These thoughts your having are normal and will go. Try using headspace.com this help you with mildfullness. I've got a good tip is imagine yourself being on a side of a road and cars being on the road, imagine that they are your thoughts and let them drive past don't stop them just let them flow past and these should get less scarier. Then realise it's just anxiety making you thinking these thoughts (intrusive thoughts). It will get better I promise. Your not going crazy if you think you are YOUR NOT. No one has ever gone crazy of anxiety it actually makes you aware of things that you wouldn't normally think off in a normal state. If this doesn't help talk to me more express your feelings.

I told myself for years that nothing would happen to my family and one evening I finally decided to go out and when I came home my granddad had been rushed into hospital with a major stroke, so I really struggle with not panicking about it I'm afraid ... It's just after all the death and illness in my family I don't know whether I'll be able to stop
Compo69• in reply to
Sorry to hear about your grandad, don't worry you will get through this. I had a hard day today my nan passed away 9 years ago today. And my grandad is in hospital.This put me into this shock and fear it's normal to worry about your family. It sounds like you fight the thoughts let them come through, say they are not important. Dont fight them they are not worth it. Have tried going to gp see if you can get medication? This would really help you and make you forget the thoughts!
• in reply toCompo69
I'm seeing my GP Monday evening, I will talk to her about it, thank you. I hope you are okay and I am very sorry to hear about your nan and your granddad being ill, my thoughts go out to you as well and thankyou for speaking to me this evening

No problem remember positive thoughts no negative. If ever need to talk I'm here! They are just thoughts they will pass! Goodnight

Mindfullness is great way of kicking the panic to the kerb. I honestly watched my older sister with the most severe symptoms, horrendous. She stuck at the mindfulness for 8 weeks ( some places have local classes) Honestly I never thought I would see her out of this - ever! Amazing she came through it with the help of mindfulness. I am now going through some of the symptoms she had and trying out the yoga breath and mindfulness on you tube, really can honestly say I am taking baby steps - but they are forward and not back. x You will get better from this. Takes time and practise every day the breathing in for a slow 7 throughout your nose and out for 11 from your mouth. I thought no chance would i get it but on my better times i practised it more then the panic came and I really tried stick with it. It keeps the levels of oxygen at a better level thus cutting down the dizzy symptoms x Tell yourself you will get better from this!! Every time you hear yourself saying am never going to get over this, STOP change that thought and say know what panic - am going to beat you x Here if you need friend
Keep talking! It will help!
i get these frequent squeezing, stabbing and aching pains in my chest/upper abdomen, left shoulder and my chin/jaw! it's so scary because i get them even when i'm not feeling anxious.. i even wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air.
is this all anxiety causing this??
i've been to doctors multiple times and he can't find anything wrong... i'm afraid i'll have a sudden heart attack!
is it possible for anxiety to cause such things, even when you're at a very calm state?!
I literally have the identical symptoms. Where you almost feel scared to sleep thinking you won't wake up. It's crazy and everyone looks at you like you are crazy. You hear good news from doctors but you feel like they are missing something or not taking you seriously. It's devastating. I really hope you get better or figure out what's going on. I wish this suffering on no one. I just started to take medication for anxiety because no one is giving me anything else or any more tests. 0.5mg of clonazepan twice daily. It's somewhat helping. Ask your doctor to give it a shot
Believe or not yes you don't realise your anxious but you are. All the pain in the left shoulder is tension. Try using headspace.com this helped me a lot because makes your chest untight and makes your body feel normal. The doctor said there is nothing wrong so there's nothing wrong. I'm getting that pain now but I ain't worrying about it just anxiety. When you realise it won't be so bad. Trust me you will feel better.
I also know exactly how you feel. That horrible faint feeling, light headed can happen a lot in my day/night. Feel like someone is pulling me under the ground at times and the sick feeling. It amazes me what the mind is capable of. There is a great book called how can everything be alright when its al wrong. I so long to get back to being me!! She seems lost at times but that book has given me hope. If you can get a hold of it even second hand its worth a read. The whole heart racing thing is nasty but I can honestly say I have stuck at practising the breath in for 7 and out for 11 - never thought I could get it but am getting there now. It is about doing it when your fine and also in panic and practising it. It balances out the levels of oxygen as in a panic as you know we breath faster. Seems like a never ending thing I used to think how will this ever stop. Honestly practise the yoga breathing every day all day. I now tell myself this is not going to kill me, I am here on this earth for a reason and for now I am going to breath, just breath thats it. Baby steps that will help you recover. I get the numb hands also. Trust me get stuck into that breathing and be good to yourself by sticking to it. Here for you x
Well i am a newbie.. Tons of Anxiety, Too much going on in my life mostly negative. 10 years with my man we married last July. The previous year we split due to an affair(not me). 3 months after we found out he ha
Over the past few years I have experienced more and more anxiety symptoms. I am at higher than normal risk for heart related issues because I do have high cholesterol and heart attack/disease runs in my family. Whenever I start to get symptoms of anxiety I constantly think I am having a heart attack which only makes my symptoms worse. I will end up throwing myself into a full blown panic attack because I am afraid I am going to die. I have 3 small children and the fear of leaving them is one of the biggest contributors to my issues. Please help me understand whether my symptoms are normal for anxiety....
* Pain in my left side of my chest. anywhere from under the breast, all the way up to my collarbone.
* weakness in my left arm.
* pain in the left shoulder blade.
* tachycardia (fast heart rate)
* sharp pains from my elbow into my hand on the left side.
*tightness and muscular pain throughout my back
*chest palpitations
*hot flashes
*extreme fatigue
* headaches
*gas
* random pains in right flank area
Thank you for all of your help.
Have you been to doctors or gp, heart disease symptoms you actually having none of, I don't want to put the symptoms in so you don't think about them. It all sounds like anxiety but I'm no doctor I had all these symptoms, maybe book in your gp for an ECG or EKG. It's nothing serious but to put your mind at rest and mine!

Hi thanks for posting!
I'm struggling with my appetite at the moment, mainly on days that I'm working. I can't stomach breakfast and end up picking at lunch, which means that by the time I get home in the evenings I'm starving and feeling dizzy and shaky. My job isn't particularly stressful but I'm still new there so I think it's probably making me anxious as I'm so self conscious! I often get other symptoms like stomach pains and nausea which obviously don't help. It's driving me crazy! I just want to relax and feel like a normal person!!
Hi Compo69
I have had GAD for a few years but health anxiety is very new to me ! At first I was convinced I must have had a brain tumour or something awful because I just didn't feel normal I constantly felt like things we not real I had a tingling sensation in the back of my head and neck and quite a few headaches and dizziness. My Dr was brilliant and very reassuring and things in that respect have settled . However I have a growing fear of Cancer ( I know everyone probably has to an extent ) but if I hear about it or hear know anyone who has it I then become obsessed that I might have it too ? How can I get over this ? X
I've been to the doctors plenty of times with always ending up being fine, I've also been to the hospital countless times convinced something was wrong.. rationally, I know I'm fine but when anxiety hits me, I can't seem to think straight, so hard to explain the feeling of it hey!
but anyways, half the time I don't exactly feel... anxious or worried? but I have that sense that something is wrong, I'm not too sure if that's one of the things an anxiety disorder comes with and most of the time now I honestly don't even know whether I'm feeling anxious/worried or not because I have it so frequently, only when anxiety hits me hard does it really freak me out!
I guess the pains I usually gotten has slowed down a bit, which really gives me a bit of a boost in confidence again, obviously i'll never be at the same state of mind that I use to be at before but I see progress which is really good.
like everyone, I also have my days where I'm either really good or really bad. some days i'll start off in the best mood, no anxiety symptoms at all, and as soon as the sun sets everything starts coming back..
I'm really stressed at the moment with uni work which doesn't help at all either, but I'd much rather be stressed with uni than stressed with the worrying thoughts that go through my head..
my anxiety is based on my heart, fear of a heart attack, heart diseases and any form of problem that could cause sudden death.. call my crazy, but literally, I would go exercise just for the fact that I know everything is fine since I'm able to put body in such a strenuous activity (weight training). I don't enjoy exercise like I use to anymore, I don't go for the passion of it, I go because it gives me a sense of reassurance..
slightest headache/or lightheadedness and I will associate it with my heart. any pains in my upper body and I will associate it with my heart.. only when pains are in my leg does it not bother me so much..
even randomly short on breath and I will freak out, most of the time I think I'm short on breath when I'm not.. I think because I put so much concentration on my breathing that my brain ends up tricking me..
Hi,I suffer with health anxiety too,my fear is passing out,I'm slowly getting better now because I keep saying to myself if I was going to pass out it would have happened by now,I used to always feel lightheaded and dizzy,but if I keep thinking that it goes away,I sometimes get pains in my head and think omg what if I'm going to have a stroke but it would have happened by now xx
Hi compo , it's Binkynoo well I'm not even sure if what I suffer is Anxiety at the mo feel like not breathing properley worrying my heart is slow rather than fast want a cuppa tea so tired soon as lay down feel dizzy & scared to sleep what is this !! :-((
I wake up in a morning with anxiety my stomach feels as though it's knotted all the time.try to do something like going on my iPad to take my mind off it.i have had it quiet a long time but still doesn't get any easier .
Hey Cheryl, waking up to anxiety is the worst. I would wake up to palpitations and think I was having a heart attack. Hot then cold, I would lie in bed paralyzed. Try relaxation techniques, prayer, whatever works for you. I'm on a new antidepressant and it has been wonderful at getting rid of the panic attacks. Medication isn't the only answer but why suffer if you can feel better?
iv had really bad intrusive toughts from hurting myself to kids to every possible thing you could think of its really annoying I HAVE PURE OBSESSIONAL COMPULSIVE DISORDER an everyday its lie fighting in the war my head is melted now im worried il freak out in 2 weeks time while going on my holidays im worried il get sick over there an be bound in the appartment im worried il be worried im worried il freak out im 22 an such a looser
Just accept the thoughts and they won't seem so bad, I have thoughts like you have when you accept them they don't seem so scary. Label the thoughts. These are thoughts and can't hurt me. Trust me you are dreading the worse when it's not going to happen. I'm sufferering bad at min but the thoughts are getting smaller and smaller.-Alex
Your not a looser read this drmartinseif.com/resources/...
Hey, don't thinkk about hurting yourself! How can I help? Talk about it.....
hi as any one ever gad legs feel funny heavy tingles .. pains numbness in them ... hate this feeling hate anixerty as worry more somethink new hits me .. numb
Thanks x
Hallelujah I feel less alone now Compo69. A weight has been taken off my shoulders. I am wired but tired so will list my symptoms later as they seem to have worsened since menopause and now thyroid issues too feel like I am in HELL!
Hi,
I have what I think as an adrenalin surge. It is normally when I first wake up in a panic or startled. My peripheral vision goes I go shaky and weak. Sudden urge to pee. Manage to get to the toilet, sudden burning sensation all over my body as if I have just been set on fire then I black out. Is it an adrenalin surge? Does my body compensate and lower my already low blood pressure and does it lower your blood glucose level. Trying to find out if this is panic or anxiety related. I think it is.
Kind regards
Allison
Yeh the doctor thinks it is blood pressure related, he did the stand from sitting test and it dropped 10. Also have a resting heart rate of 49. I suffer health anxiety and GAD. The symptoms are like everyone else's derealisation, palpitations, severe stomach pain, pins and needles etc. The list is endless. Just wanted to know if you have heard of adrenalin surge and could this be the cause of my black outs. I am 5 foot 8 inches.
Kind regards
Allison
Hi,
No I am a woman, lol, yeh but it happens at least 2-3 mins after I have got up, also feel very panicky, then the burning sensation, I could also be lying down after the burning and then I black out. Maybe I am associating it with panic. I read to much and found this adrenalin surge thing and it said your body tries to compensate by lowering your blood pressure. I don't know!!
Kind regards
Allison
To me it sounds like low blood sugar nothing to worry about just see what doctor can do he will get you sorted, when you get up sit on the edge of the chair or bed and sit there for a minute let the blood circulate.
My partner thinks the same so bought a blood glucose monitor. Sometimes it is low 3.2 to 4.2. The normal reading should be between 4.0 and 7.0. The doctor said if it was hypoglycemia I wouldn't come round. But here we go again, lol. I read your liver actually dumps some sugar into your system. I do really have an health anxiety don't I. I am constantly trying to find something wrong with me. I do definitely think it is anxiety and to stop this cycle. I got miss diagnosed by two doctors 12 yrs ago of a pulmonary embolism. It was myself after 4 days of suffering that decided enough was enough and took myself up a&e. I need to trust again. I always believe there is something worse. Thoughts please?
Kind regards
Allison
hello?
Hi, i have light headedness that really freaking me out. I constantly check my breathing and worry if im breathing enough/too much etc. I also get a tingly scalp and moments when i feel like im just a pair of eyes. Im so scared ill pass out because people have before and i get freaked thinking its something with my ears or mind though ive gone to the docs and they say blood sugar, cbc, etc is fine.
But the light headedness is new andit feels like theres a cap over my brain.
Have you experienced this? I dont kbow how to be reassured.
Hello Compo
Maybe you can help me.
I've been having some very scary things happen when I try to sleep.
Sometimes I feel as if my heart stops and jolts me awake. Wonder if it could be heart palpitations that wake me but either way it's very scary and twice now I have woken up gasping for air. What the heck is going on????
So scared.
Yes I get that sometimes now, it feels like you haven't been breathing then you wake up in a panic it's all anxiety. Doctors said you was fine so your fine! You will get through this. When I felt like that I did mindfulness on headspace and it made me feel 100x to go sleep! Try it and see how it works
Hi just wondering if you ever had derealization...or any odd eye symptoms xx
I have major fear of throwing up.. It may sound silly but it almost effects my daily life.. I'm scared to go out after I've eaten something cause I'm scared I feel sick... It usually happens after I eat something sweet that I get this weird indescribable gagging sensation In the back of my throat then it causes me to have anxiety cause the first thing that comes to mind is "you're gonna throw up!" I don't know what to do. Please help me.
Hi: I have health anxiety too. Main symptoms: Head Pressure, even in the ears sometimes. Sore muscles, mostly in neck and upper back, I carry the most tension there. Occasional hypnic jerks at night that wake me up. Some nights are better than others - it's weird. Upset Stomach and occasional heart palpitations, here and there. But my main concern is that something is wrong with my head/brain. That's the fear I have. Also have avoidant behavior when it comes to doctors. Have been going to CBT though for over a month now and that helps a bit along with exercise and meditation. What are your main symptoms?
Ever experienced burning in throat? Or, like a rush of heat accompanied occasionally by nausea or that tickly feeling of getting sick?
Im terrified.of getting sick! !!!!!!!!!
Hi there
I've been dealing with anxiety for eight months but recently the past two months have been mainly health anxiety. I've been checked out by multiple doctors, EKG, CT and blood work are all normal. My doctor said I have compressed nerves in my spine, neck and shoulders which causes pain all throughout my upper chest. Every morning I wake up and I have a dull ache down my breastbone. I get a random squeezing sensation under my left rib randomly which last for five seconds and comes an goes. My fingers get tingly and numb and my whole arm aches on both sides but mainly my left. I'm always feeling like I'm going to have a heart attack or a stroke and that the doctors are missing something. How do I stop being so anxious and convincing myself I'm having a heart attack?
Ok, here goes , I wake in the morning feeling scared. Had hypnosis yesterday and felt really good all Then I wake up this morning, feeling scared and skipped heart beat. Now I am online looking up medical stuff again and feeling very anxious even with my xanex. Very discouraged. I thought the hypnosis would work! What do you think?
Hi I'm a anxiety and panic attack person so horrible had this for 10 years I've had a blood clot in my lungs years ago and I'm always scared it gunna come bk that's all I think about I check my pulse bout 100 times a day a lil bit of pain I get in my back or chest I panic like mad it's driving me mad I dnt see a way past this :,(
Ok so ive been told i have anxiety. Ive had cbt for it im on citalopram and i feel so shit. Ive always been nervous introverted and sensitive but 2 years ago i had a bad miscarriage that left me unable to breathe properly and i couldnt talk because i got such a bad stutter. My care was not good enough in the hospital either and since then i thought i was getting better until a family fight last christmas when i had a panic attack picked up the flu then told relatives i wanted to go home because i felt so poorly and that is when it all kicked off and mother in law told me im a nutter and accused me of lying about the miscarriage. I hope this makes sense its just all coming out in a rush. Anyway so since then the gp said its anxiety ocd and depression. I get really bad headaches/migraines daily blurred vision dizziness ibs symptoms shaking hands pounding heart throughout the whole body aches and pains and my brain just wont rest or be quiet. I feel like a failure to myself and my partner and my children because i spend so much time in bed or resting on the sofa. Every winter i catch all the bugs going round and may aswell not be in my childrens life's. FED UP and angry
Hi thanks for the support. Do you feel dizzy sometimes ? And have random pains here and there, muscle twitches...I get really nervous thinking it might be something else, but my Doc said is anxiety and that I need to start taking meds.
Hey ive had anxiety before but now its back. Im scard of heart attack im scard i have low blood sugar feeling faint if i dont eat every three hours .. i feel shoulder pain neck pain . had a big palpatation today think of going to hospital when i went a month ago,.for chest pains had n ekg
Hi Compo69,
Having a shoulder blade pain on my left shoulder.
I fainted 3 days ago in my bathroom after peeing but immediately got up after that.
I went to the hospital at night on my own.
took the X ray , blood test, physical examination, heart test as well as blood pressure test.
Everything was normal according to the doctors.
The next day i was still not satisfied and i went to another hospital.
Did the same test but this time with a urine test.
Everything still normal.
What i'm feeling is shortness of breath at times, i feel not myself, very lightheaded /groggy
I am afraid that i might faint again. Body is feeling weak.
i have lost all confidence.
im taking paracetamal 450gm orphenadrine 35gm
I just had. My first panic attack or anxiety attack at first I thought it was my epilepsy because my arms started to get numb my mind started to race then my whole body turned numb my face extremely I could barely keep my eyes open the part that scared th e he'll out of me was when it felt like a elephant was sitting on my torso it was horrible it lasted about 30 min what was it a panic attack or anxiety attack I also couldn't speak very well I couldn't say certain. Words like THAT and DIE my lips couldn't start the word at his is all this is all new to me and honestly I'm a scared shit less anyone ever have these symptoms before
It's good to know that someone else has the crazy, and disturbing, intrusive thoughts. And as for health anxiety I think I am the queen of that. Just good to know I'm not alone and not going mad/dying.
I'm trying top track my worst periods of anxiety and nasty symptoms add I think they are a combination of hormones -maybe menopausal or just PMS ones - with stress from a high pressure job. When both strike at once I think I melt down. Like right now.
I promised myself I would not waste any more of my life worrying about my health, after a nasty scare in May this year. I've done ok but this last few weeks it has come back despite all my efforts.
Just trying to keep on but the lack of sleep caused by my night time symptoms is making everything worse.
Boo for anxiety and stress, but hurrah for this community of people to remind us we are not alone.
Fr. u doing beta now just read ur post as I was lucking for some help
Hello Compo...you still there? I have some questions.
Hi, lately I've been experiencing weird symptoms. I've been experiencing ear pain and discomfort because of sounds, but what's weird is that this happens with any sound not just high or low frequency, it's any and every sound. Also I've been having trouble with my speech. I want to talk but I can't, I have to do a major effort for the words to come out, feels like they are stuck in my throat, and when they do come out, it's uncomfortable to talk, so it's like I want to talk but at the same time I don't want to. What is going on? Thank you in advance and I hope to hear from you.

Hi
I am suffering from mouth anxiety , tongue keeps thrusting recent dental work causing me to be so anxious and fearful on my tummy , no energy just fear ,
taking amitriptyline to calm it , worked so well stopped taking it for 3 weeks and all symptoms came back , now on it again which seems to work but now frightened the meds might stop working ..
Hate the feeling it gives me
Can i be having chest pain, back pain and stomachache due to making myself throw up on purpose everytime i eat?
erendiracm8. Yes and even more symptoms and pain the longer it continues. If you feel you need to vomit after each meal, then it's time for you to reach out for help. I'm hoping that my confirming what you are asking will get you to make that important call.
Don't be afraid. It's important for your welfare. x
Hi, I am 53 and have been suffering for that past seven months with depression and server anxiety. I am afraid of being alone as I feel fearful most of the time and have thoughts of doing something to myself as I want it all to stop. I have been told i am preimenapausal. I was put on antidepressants but they seem to be doing nothing for my very low mood. I am struggling everyday. I eventually got to see a gyno at the hospital just over two months ago and was put on a low dose of premique modified release tablets. I am still feeling more or less the same since i have been on them.I am on a period at the moment and I had one 6 weeks ago. I feel that I am out of control. I am struggling everyday. Its the fearfulness and anxiety I cannot cope with. I need help.
