I am a 26 year old female who has had anxiety my whole life. I just to have really bad social anxiety but that has improved over the years. Now I am just anxious about my health . I was diagnosed with unusually high blood pressure when I was 23, I had numerous symptoms before but I always just chalked it down to nothing . I was boarder line ready to have a stroke . Ever since that day I have that constant fear about my health now. I continually have side effects and serious ones to boot, to the blood pressure medications they keep putting me on. This really doesn't help my case. Lately I have been suffering from insomnia as well as constant ringing in one of my ears but I only ever hear it at night when I want to sleep I think that might be another side effect. I feel so hopeless sometimes that I will always been to ball of inconsistent health. Just remember to take one day at a time, hour by hour. That seems to help, happy to know theres many individuals out there with the same fears, cheers people

Hi am 27 and I just started getting anxiety and panic attacks I feel like talking to a therapist becuz I don't want to take medication. Is there something you do to help ? Sometimes I get nerves and stress and that triggers it .
I have started meditation as well as a beginners yoga class. You should find someone you jive with. My massage therapist is amazing and has started doing yoga classes so I had a basis relation ship with her and it has eased my anxiety with yoga. If you don't have that I would go with a friend who you trust and you think would also benefit from the class. Try to find somewhere that does a smaller class as this will help with any uneasiness. And when you start ,make yoga your religion . Practice it ever day, even twice a day. Take time for your self and self love. Thank your self for taking the time each day to work on your inner healing. Everyday is a step closer and keep thay in mind I also drink lots of chamomile tea as it is good for calming the nerves. I drink it all day because I find it's nice and relaxing and I enjoy feeling at ease lol! I hope this helps xx
It may not be "just anxiety" - many doctors seem to resort to that diagnosis when they don't put a real effort in. Have you looked into POTS syndrome or Lyme disease? Ringing in ears and high blood pressure sound like POTS. Does your heart race when you stand up?
Not usually when standing up but it will do it when I am in a resting position. I will definitely have to look into this. Thank you for your input xx any other information you have regarding this would be very helpful... cheers xx
You can join a POTS group (postural orthotachycardia syndrome) and ask about your symptoms. I do believe some people have a racing heart when laying down.
aw sweet girl. Your high blood pressure is from the anxiousness. I bet you are beautiful and kind and really have not much to worry about, but in our heads we go balistic with fear and anxiety building bad thoughts which we tend to believe. Trust me I know this and have struggled
At this Christmas time I hope you can let go of at least 50% of your troubling fears. You are healthy and you are whole and you are God's perfect creation. Please know this in your heart and believe it every day until you are whole again.
