Struggling today

[Annab124]

Today I went for food with my friend an all of a sudden started getting really bad shooting pains in the left side of my chest . My chest arms and back have also been sensitive to touch today . I also feel really light headed . I’m sick of feeling like this can anyone relate

Hi Anna,

Oh yeah. I'm no doctor but first thing I'd say is go a check up. With that being said it sounds like a panic attack. When I first started getting attacks my left arm, shoulder and rib area would be sore and tingly. Breathing gets fast and heavy and dizziness is common. It's truly a scary moment and I used to walk fast around the house trying to make it stop or call someone and freak out to them. As soon as you can identify that it's not your physical health you can start to heal by seeing a therapist and practice breathing. The hardest part is believing you're healthy and slowly moving on from the attacks. Get some closure from the doctor visits and stay calm. Best wishes to you!
