Anxiety....

[leannamarie2]

So, I always feel like I'm having a heart attack or some type of heart issue. I've been to the hospital about 3 or 4 times last year and they gave me ekg and an x-ray and each time it came back normal. My doctors and therapist say I am just suffering from anxiety due to the unexpected death of my uncle. It has just seemed to be getting worse and every symptom I get I feel like I'm going to die. I fear death everyday and it's taken over my life.... I can't do anything anymore... how do you guys survive???

I've been having these same issues. It was really bad around this time last year and finally stopped. Now it's coming back again. I am afraid to take medication. If my head hurts I feel like I have a rumor or something. I've had all these tests done and they're all negative. They say its anxiety. I can't live like this anymore. I can relate to you completely. I hope we all can figure out some relief soon!

Hi,

I've been suffering with anxiety and panic disorder for over 20 years now and I'm 40 years old. It started when I miscarried my 1st baby. I've been trying to get my life together ever since. Some years were better than others and in June 2014, I suddenly lost my grandmother at home and my anxiety was at its worst ever. I've experienced every symptom known for anxiety and panic attacks. I've been going through depression and my relationship of 10.5 years with my boyfriend has come to an end BUT GOD and my sons, keep me going so I fight with every fiber of my being. I have BAD days all the time and fear death EVERYDAY and no matter how many times I go to the doctor or ER or Cardiologist, they say I'm healthy and it's anxiety. I pray we all get over this horrible disorder and live happy healthy lives. Blessings to you all!

The bad thing is people who dont experience anxiety, dont know what we go through. I have the same problem. fear of cancer, heart attack, stroke, brain aneurysms.. U name it. The dizziness and vertigo I feel almost daily makes me fear that something is seriously wrong with me. But guess what? I take a .5mg of Xanax and all my symptoms go away.

Sometimes I have very bad days, where I can hardly get out of bed, and some days I am normal, fine, no pain.

I get by by forcing myself to stay active, bring busy with my 4 ,yr old. I know my relationship is suffering because of this, an d God knows I dont want to lose my fiancé, so I do my best. But the physical symptoms can really get u down. My worst is trouble breathing, I go into full on panic mode when I feel like I can't breathe.

I've had anxiety for over 10 years. I'm currently 30 years old. Everything was going good, so I decided to start taking my Prozac every other day. I did this for 6 months. Since May of this year I have felt really bad. Anything that happens with my body, I think I'm doing to die. I'm always going to the dr. Well, I went back to taking my Prozac everyday and been taking it for 2 weeks. I still feel like crap. I'm on 20mg. I just hate waking up everyday feeling like crap. My current issue is that my right temple of my head has had pressure. I've been to the dr. And they thought it was infection, took the pills and nothing. I just don't know what to do. People that don't have anxiety don't really believe you!! Love to hear from anyone!! Thanks

I have the exact same thing. I understand your frustration and pain. Everyday life is hard and sometimes I don't feel like I have a handle on it. I force myself to do everything. I know it's cliche, but once I start my day and fight through a few attacks, I can manage my day. I also read the forums frequently. When it gets really bad, I use the mindshift app on my phone and do the breathing exercises. Hope this helps.

Anxiety will do this to you. It is all in the mind and it seems like the more you worry about it, the more symptoms seem to occur. I have gone to the emergency room a handful of times and I'm always fine. I workout regularly and I'm still here.
