I'm so scared....

[KashsMama17]

Idk what's going on with me right now my body feels so weird it feels like my ears are plugged and feels like I have a 100 lbs of pressure sitting on my chest... I don't want to sound crazy but I literally feel like I'm gonna die i don't feel right... I don't know if i should go to the Dr i don't want them to think I'm crazy and if i go it might make it worse i feel so lost and scared... What do i do

Everything will be ok Don't worry about it if you can handle it a bit longer until you see the doc. He'll help put your mind at ease. Yes do go to the doc, rule out causes and conditions

Morning kash take some deep breaths...in through the nose for count of 4 then out through the mouth for a count of 4. Do this over and over until you feel just that little bit better. Have you seen the dr before about this? If not defo get checked out. 99% of the time it's anxiety attacks kicking in. Which in itself, although feel horrid, can't kill you. What other sensations did you have? Are you feeling a little better now?

Hi,

I have been suffering with something very similar. I went to my doctors and whilst they said I wasn't my heart, they had no anawers. I have since been for several deep tissue massages at a holistic clinic and have found out I have very tight muscles in my chest and neck (from stress and anxiety). This is what was causing the pressure on my chest. I would go to the doctors to rule out anything serious. Perhaps see if you can get a massage. You also need to try to stop worrying. From my experience, the more you worry, the worse it gets. I know it's hard not to worry.

I hope this advice is helpful

Breathe in deeply, go for a walk, go for a run, go take photographs..keep busy to get your mind of it. Just do something, clean the house, the car...anything. It does help immensely.

I also have suffered with something similar to this. Try to calm down. Have you had panic attacks before? If so this is probably what's happening now. The more you panic the harder your heart beats, the drier your mouth gets your ears feel full and you feel weak. Try breathing deeply and saying to yourself 'I'm ok this will pass' Say it over and over like a mantra., Think about what you're saying. This works for me, it took some time but it works.Have the doc check you out and when you get the all clear take care of yourself. Eat well, no junk, fresh meat, fish, vegetables and fruit, drink lots of water. Avoid alcohol or have it sparingly. Try cutting wheat and dairy out of your diet one at a time, see how you feel. Making these changes has given me a new life, while difficult at first I now enjoy this way of eating and trying out new foods and recipes. I wish you lots of good wishes and hope to see from your future posts that you're doing well.

Samething happens to me..feel like your dying..its anxiety and trying to scare you. Distract your mind from the sensations.

Thank you everyone so much for the replies. Yes I went to the Dr along time ago id literally I would go about 2-3 times a day Back and fourth to the ER even after they would tell me if have anxiety I'd go home and literally be back within the hour telling them its not anxiety and crying to them looking like a maniac. I used to be able to talk myself out of these little anxiety episodes but lately its so much worse and seems like the harder I try to do everything to keep them away they come back 10 times worse...

KM 17 Hi, It sounds like an anxiety attack you are having but maybe to be sure go to Emerg at the hospital. Do you take any meds for your anxiety. I hope you feel better it has been a while since you posted. Maybe try to do some deep breathing exercises. Is your heart racing? Pls respond if you are there, people do care and know you are not alone HUGS

See your primary doctor just to make sure you are okay. Maybe you are having panic attacks.

Everything will be okay! Positive thoughts, even though I know its hard to do it at the time. Honestly I let mine play out than hope for a better day. Idk im in same boat as u

[KashsMama17]

Thank you MENOTHYRO I really appreciate that. I'm here I. Still alive thank you God... I be b had a pretty good day today now that's its time for bed its starting to come a little bit... Hopefully it will pass. And thank you also so much Meg90 you have helped me through so many of my hard times... I'm so greatful for u... Yea I am kind of to that point to where I just let them pass but sometimes they are just to bad for example at Michaels it was a bunch a drama again I started having anxiety that he was gonna do something to me like drug me or do something IDK why everything just seemed weird... Everytime ai go there my anxiety build up so bad.

I've had your same symptoms. I became a regular at the hospital. I would get to the hospital and feel embarrassed after they would do a ekg (electrocardiogram test) and the results would come back normal. I then would want to leave before all test were completed because I felt in my head that they were laughing at me. I finally stopped going to the hospital and guess what? I'm still alive! I started talking myself out of anxiety attacks. I would remind myself that i could really breathe, i was not having a heart attack,and tell myself its just an anxiety attack. If it fails the first couple tries dont give up keep trying. I know it feels like ur gonna die please believe me! Dont work yourself up into a bigger attack,just keep assuring yourself that your gonna be just fine
