Anxiety?

[briselrdriguez]

I recently started to get a lot of anxiety/panic attacks. It has taken over my life. I feel dizzy everyday, feel like I’m gonna faint. I get chest pains and my left arm goes numb sometimes. I feel like I am gonna die when I try to fall asleep. I freak out even more because I can’t feel my heart beat my chest feels empty.

Have you been checked over by your doctor to confirm it's anxiety? For your reassurance it's worth doing: very rarely thyroid or adrenal problems can cause anxiety.

It's remarkable how frayed nerves can give us all kinds of painful symptoms. As a result we worry and feel fear and the anxiety magnifies the feeling of fear ten fold. Fear hormones continue to bombard our nervous system so the symptoms go on and on until you shout "Enough! I'm going to quit all this fear and just accept things for the time being." Then your nervous system calms down and the symptoms begin to fade and eventually you recover.

Yes, I went to the ER twice and was told it was anxiety

Just wanted to let you know you are not alone. Tonight I had to rush back after a meal at a restaurant because I was so dizzy (felt like i was on a computer chair that was going from side to side), I felt sick, my neck was achey, my back and arms were hurting me and now my left arm feels numb in places. I'm trying to remind myself that it is anxiety and that the feeling will pass. Happy to chat on here to help you feel better!

That’d be great! I mainly get this when I go to sleep or when I’m about to go to sleep. Sometimes I wake up feeling like I’m floating. I really wish the feeling would go away
