Help!!!

I'm having jaw tightness, chest pain and trouble breathing I'm also very hot and sweaty should I go to the E.R? I've been told by them before that it was I known and that it may be anxiety but idk I haven't seen a cardiologist yet and I'm really scared at this point

[Ffaiers]

Have you got anxiety medication?

[Hidden in reply to Ffaiers]

Hydroxyzine but I stopped taking it about a week ago because it made my symptoms worse.

[Ffaiers in reply to Hidden]

Ok it sounds like you are having an anxiety attack & it could be due to stopping your meds. Talk to me it'll distract you x

[Hidden in reply to Ffaiers]

The jaw tightness has gone but I still feel the tingling there as well as on my chest and I'm tremoring, I tried breathing in and out but I'm still worried

[Ffaiers in reply to Hidden]

Keep doing the same darling, you are fine I promise. Close your eyes whilst you are doing your breathing. You've had all these feelings before & they don't last. Keep talking to me x

[Hidden in reply to Ffaiers]

I'm sweating and there's a sharp pain in my kneck as well, I'm scheduled to see a therapist tomorrow.

[Ffaiers in reply to Hidden]

Sweating is because of the anxiety darling I promise. Neck pain is probably from holding yourself stiff. Let's change the subject, tell me about yourself. What age are you, where are you from etc? Stop thinking about anxiety x

[Hidden in reply to Ffaiers]

It all started after I ate I felt anxious the chest pain and nausea layed down for q bit and that's when it took off

[Ffaiers in reply to Hidden]

That's because you homed in on your feelings instead of just getting on with things. I do the same darling, it will pass & if you felt anxious I'm 99% sure it is an anxiety attack. You need to distract yourself & you're doing well by talking to me, well done you are nearly through it I promise x

[Hidden in reply to Ffaiers]

I think it's passing my grandmother just walked in cursing me and telling me I'm driving myself crazy ofc. I'm still experiencing chest discomfort

[Ffaiers in reply to Hidden]

It will pass darling, nothing lasts forever!! You are doing so well calming yourself down be proud of yourself & don't knock yourself ! Chest discomfort will go in time just keep up the breathing exercises & you will be ok. Try to talk about something else x

[Hidden in reply to Ffaiers]

Well I look forward to starting work next week partially one of the things that has fed into my anxiety,

[Ffaiers in reply to Hidden]

That's great, forget the anxiety you won't have time to think about it! What's your new job? X

[Hidden in reply to Ffaiers]

Dining assistant at a nursing home, hopefully it'll be enough to support me through school

[Ffaiers in reply to Hidden]

That's a really rewarding job, I used to do that myself. Trust me it's busy & anxiety won't cross your mind 😀 I think it's great you are doing something to support your studies. It sounds to me like you are very hard on yourself when I think you're doing amazing! X

[Hidden in reply to Ffaiers]

Yeah I am but I'm working on that, Im at often times referred to as over caring cause I worry about others More than I do myself I'm a libra. So I guess it makes sense. Lol

[Ffaiers in reply to Hidden]

Haha yes it does. Have some 'me' time. Be kind to yourself. I wish you luck in your new job, keep us updated xx

[Ffaiers in reply to Hidden]

How you feeling now Keejay? X

[Hidden in reply to Ffaiers]

[Ffaiers in reply to Hidden]

Drink so cold water darling xx

[Hidden in reply to Ffaiers]

I'll be sure to do so, thanks for being present and listening it really means alot, I'm still new to this so ofc.its extremely scary and difficult for me thank you again

[Ffaiers in reply to Hidden]

You're welcome. You can always message me if you need to but I'm in the UK so our time difference is a bit messy. Take care & be kind to yourself xx

[KrissNique in reply to Ffaiers]

You're awesome ... you're helping me calm down

[Ffaiers in reply to KrissNique]

That's great news! You too can message me if you need to but remember the time difference if you're in the US current time here is 04:28am! The wind is waking me up we are having some crazy weather. Are you feeling ok now? X

[KrissNique in reply to Ffaiers]

I'm struggling with my anxiety but today is one of the hopeful days . So I'm trying g to stay calm and positive . But it is Indeed challenging. Because my mind keeps wanting to slip back into my depersonalized state I can feel it try to creep in and it's soooo annoying and it makes me mad. But I'm I. A constant battle with my mind and trying to accept that I have anxiety . Still feels surreal to me .

[Ffaiers in reply to KrissNique]

I'll message you later with some techniques Hun x

[Ffaiers]

Firstly calm down,

Breathe in for the count of 4

Hold for 4

Breathe out for the count of 4.

Anxiety causes hot & cold sweats

Try to distract yourself. Don't worry I'm here to talk x
