I have had anxiety since I was 8 and now I'm 20! It has gotten worse this past week because I have been sick!! I have this weird pressure in my neck like ive been hanging upside down !! Is this anxiety I was just at the doctor's I feel like they would have told me if my blood pressure was high or something!! I have been constantly short of breath or feels like I have to force myself to breathe??? Its super scary !! I was just put on Zoloft and really hope it kicks in fast and helps because I cant do anything but lay in bed and have panic attacks!!
