Really struggling tonight and could do with some advice.

Hey guys

So I've suffered with anxiety now for a while. At the moment I'm at a stage where I'm having better days than bad days but when the bad days happen they are intense.

I'm on propanolol as and when which does help with settling any panics down but recently the anxiety seems to be coming more physical and I don't know if it's me or something is seriously wrong.

I constsntly feel tired. I always feel pressure in my head and ears. I feel lightheaded nearly all the time. I get weird shocks in my head before sleep and physically hear noises in my head.

Tonight I spit blood which happens often. Only a bit and I know it's probably from my gums as stops quickly but then worry and now at a point of not wanting to sleep as scared I'm going to die.

I keep telling myself it's okay and if it was something serious you'd feel more serious but I don't seem to worry and then these physical sesnafion happen. They happen and then I worry.

I've been to the doctor's and had blood tests and everything came back fine. I have to go back because of some small blips but the doctor said nothing serious and he isn't concerned.

I just don't like this. I came off antidepressants in may but surely it's not withdrawal still?

I'm so fed up at the moment and just want to feel healthy.

Sorry for such a long post. I guess I just want to know if these physical symptoms are normal and what I can to take my mind off them ?

Thank you in advance and happy new year !

andrewtxland, I believe it could be the propranolol causing your symptoms as it plays with your blood pressure. After the holidays, I would suggest you call your doctor and have it checked out. It could be the dosage needs to be evaluated. Wishing you a Happy New Year! Try not to worry x

Sorry can't offer advice, but just to let you know I'm thinking of you. I'm awake with anxiety too. Get some reassurance from your doctor it may put your mind to rest and stop some of the worry
