I'm hoping to find people that I can relate to. A little about me....I am 27 years old and have 3 beautiful little boys with 1 baby on the way. All of my anxiety began after my second son was stillborn at 36 weeks of pregnancy. I did not get any help after this happened. All I was focused on was getting pregnant again because I wanted to hold a baby in my arms so bad after losing my precious son. I got pregnant again 4 months after I had him. A couple of weeks before my due date, I began to feel weird. I was constantly thinking about bad things that could happen during birth. I convinced myself that I was going to die. I started having heart palpitations during that time. After I had my son, he was sent to the NICU for low blood sugar. He was the largest baby in the NICU at 10 lbs 5 oz. I still can't believed I had a baby that large lol anyways, my palpitations began to get worse that week. I went to my primary doctor where she referred me to a heart specialist. He found nothing wrong with my heart, thank goodness. I was still having the symptoms though. Now I was feeling like I was in a fog, dizzy, worrying constantly. My doctor finally diagnosed me with PP depression. He started me on a low dose of Prozac, which I eventually went back for a higher dose. I know that I have anxiety along with the depression. My symptoms compared to other sufferers are exactly the same. I never in my life thought that anxiety could make a person feel this way. It sucks the enjoyment of life right out of you. The constant worrying, the new symptoms that I feel come every day, the constant urge to want to go to the doctor or hospital to make sure nothing is wrong. I feel like I'm losing my mind most days. I hope that I can find some relief with relating to others with anxiety on this site and learn ways to cope.

Just saw your response. I can better say that your earlier post was a muscle spasm that caused you fear. Feeling better now?
