No your not ill it is the anxiety and panic. I know how you feel.

You're not alone. I used to wake up each morning as if someone had startled me and I would be having a full blown anxiety attack like you describe. I was dxed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder with Agoraphobia. If your doctors are telling you there's nothing wrong with you you need new doctors. Have you been to a pdoc? Therapist? I'm being treated right now with busbar and klonopin with good results. Know that there are many people on this board that feel exactly as you do. I'm here if you need to talk.
peace, t

I get this all the time! My heart races a LOT and that in itself gives me anxiety! That's what I love about this site because you find people with the same symptoms and it makes you feel better knowing your not the only one!! =)

Hi i can TOTALLY realte to this!
Im/was the same.
Id go out and my heart was racing, id fear that if i got really ill or stopped breathing nobody would be able to get help fast enough, its even worse when im in a car, id start choking and stop breathing...the fear that races through the mind in the anxiety phases are THE MOST UNPLEASANT experiance EVER!
do you take any medications? I now take a xanax which helps me sleep, alot of people with anxiety have trouble sleeping, so i take one of those and i manage to sleep , which in turn reduces my anxiety through the day . im not 100% better but im a little better,

Thanks to all of you that have replied i am on Zispin 15mg to which i take at night also diazepam only when needed and propanolol i am just sick of being like this my life is so miserable it's got to the point i hate waking up in the morning,but i keep saying to myself there are alot of people in this world that are going through a lot worse than me.. lost my mother recently to liver cancer she refused treatment and she battled it for 2 years and she didn't moan or grumble about it till the last few days of her life she was so brave i just wish i had a little of her courage writing this i feel so selfish in thinking so sorry for myself but i'm sorry i can't help it i just wish there was a magic pill that would make this all go away

Its not that your unwell, its a nasty bout with anxiety love.
I get all these symptoms when im having anxiety.
I think sometimes the anxiety has a physicl effect on your body so it makes you feel like your not well.
I seriously advise you to get another doctor, he obviously doesn,t kow what he is talking about.
Good Luck To You And Take Care.

I was told over 10 years that it was all in my head. I switched Dr's in April (to my sisters Dr) and it made all the differnce in the world. I think that you should definately look for someone that understands that this is without a doubt anxiety.
