I want my life back!!!

[Anxietytroll]

I'm 37 years old and I had my first panic attack 3 years ago and everything has gone down hill from there. Every ache or pain I get I think I'm dying. My dad passed away from heart complications so from then on I'm always thinking I'm going to have a heart attack. I can't sleep, I barely eat, and work is very hard at this point. Im afraid to go to the Dr in fear of them telling me something I don't want to hear! I suffer from hypertension and that's the only thing I see my Dr. for. I've had other test done but I still feel so hopeless and afraid! I've become a recluse.

Hun...I am so sorry your feeling this way. Try to stay positive. A lot of us on this site know exactly what you are dealing with...it's not easy, but talking about it on this site really does help. Just take it one day at a time.

I won't go to Doctors either, afraid of all the tests and of what the test results might be. Plus being an Agoraphobic I can't go have all these tests, I have a hard time just making it to the grocery store.

I went to the doctor a couple weeks ago, they did blood test, and all came back normal.  I smoke, and have no signs of Lung cancer, but now they want me to go get a Low Dose CT scan, and that gives me more anxiety.  Don't want to do that, in fear of what they might find.

[Anxietytroll in reply to 8250heinzrd]

Just try to think positive as if that's easy😩 . Think happy thoughts as your having your text done. My method is when Im being tested for anything I say a prayer and try to come to terms with how I will process any info they give me. Hang in there ,there is hope!!

I go to the doctors like crazy & have been through so many tests.... but not many answers.  I guess I keep hoping the next one will find the answer!

I feel the same way anxietytroll.  My doctor wants me to get a low does CT scan, because I smoke, even though I have no signs of lung cancer.  Afraid of this, cause I am afraid they will find lung cancer. Just don't know what to do.

I went to the Dr. About a month ago. They did blood work and every thing comeback normal. But now I think I'm dying from all my chest problems. I get a dull feeling that comes and goes. I also get a warm sensation on my upper chest that actually looks red, that comes and goes also. I only sleep about two hours a night and can't go back to sleep. I feel the same way you do. Don't go to the doctor in fear of something being wrong with me. This is all a nightmare.
