Story of my Life. Sound like myself, every night when I'm chilled out I notice all my pains more and more and over analyse. Google symptoms convince myself I have a life threatening illness but I've been told numerous times by doctors I have anxiety I struggle to believe this but when I read all the symtoms off anxiety i can realate to my life, just try to chill and read more in to anxiety and not the symptoms, may put your mind ease, or try speaking to a gp for reassure. Hope your okay x

i really do sympathise for you as im only 19 we are still very young and are meant to be enjoying the young days in our life but its like someones trying to make us worry and keeping our minds on edge 24/7 do you feel your anxiety is health related?

Hi love, don't worry! Classic anxiety symptoms. If you look on Amazon for a second hand copy of Dr Claire Weekes books ( help with nervous suffering) it was written years ago so ignore the old fashioned phrasing. It's still considered to be one of the best book for helping people overcome an anxiety disorder. I was crippled with anxiety, I was so terrified of my physical symptoms I almost stopped functioning. This book was a turning point for me. She uses a very simple technique to end the hateful vicious circle of anxiety. Don't be worried if you have setbacks on your road to recovery, they are perfectly normal. Good luck! X

It's just new to me so when I'm getting a new thing wrong with me I'm instantly thinking I have something seriously wrong with me I'm new to all this so it really scares me my chest always feels tight I've went for a run but then just felt like a got worse after doing so today when I was eating was just feeling like my food was getting stuck and a chokey feeling

yeah sounds like panic attacks (Ive had my share of them and cured myself of them but now have generalized anxiety which is much more mild and less intense and long lasting///everyday for the last 2 months) maybe u got alittle sickness if ur spitting up green stuff, do u smoke? have u been to the doctor?

but as it says here: GAD (generlized anxiety disorder) is diagnosed when a person worries excessively about a variety of everyday problems for at least 6 months.

so im on month 2 to 3...still got time :P

If you think you have an anxiety disorder, the first person you should see is your family doctor. A physician can determine whether the symptoms that alarm you are due to an anxiety disorder, another medical condition, or both.

see mine is probably both a medical thing and anxiety...but i think i can beat it still even though i havent been able to pin down my medical problem yet....well i did find that i had a premature heat beat and palpitations but thats all...i think it might be more complicated but not sure.

Mitchie94 in reply to Mitchie94

yeah panic attacks are extreme and less long lasting but you could have both depends how long it last for...do u take any medications? smoke? seen a doctor?

Mitchie94 in reply to jeffreyscott

yeah it sounds like anxiety but u may have a little sickness along with it as it says here:

A physician can determine whether the symptoms that alarm you are due to an anxiety disorder, another medical condition, or both.

Mine are most definitely both, but anxiety can cause physical things and physical things can cause anxiety...so beating anxiety can only help you either way.

Yeah I'm going to try my very best to get over what ever this is thank you for all your help also

you know the secret i used to beat panic attacks...well in my personal case...i could feel them before they happened...i could feel them coming on...and i would make myself laugh intentionally...my first tries were pretty mechanical and robotic...but over time...they started to work...till the panic attacks came less and less...

when you laugh you increase dopamines and all the good neurotransmitters that make you brain feel good...and neutralize all the ones that make u feel scared ect...its hard to laugh during those times but it did cure me.

Mitchie94 in reply to jeffreyscott

jeffreyscott in reply to Mitchie94

Mitchie94 profile image
Mitchie94 in reply to jeffreyscott

Also get heartburn a lot

jeffreyscott profile image
jeffreyscott

personally i think it could be a simple cold, infection, virus or something if ur spitting up green stuff (not sure if you are or not) ...u should go to the real doctor and get checked out and maybe get some antibiotics or something they can give you to help you out...

me personally i get heart pains...right where my heart is...thats all small heart pains like a 3-4 on a scale of 10...basically nothing and not often but everyone's effected differently by anxiety...but if u spit green stuff up that should be checked out.
