Hello all,

I have not been to the doctor for fear of being labeled as a pill seeker or whiner. Every time i think of going to the doctor i get anxious or if i even think about the anxiety issues i have i can feel my heart beating out of my chest. I feel my body get hot and i feel weird.

Does anyone else experience this?

Katie54 I am so sorry to hear that your thyroid is out of whack. I was hyperthyroid first, then they discovered Graves. Killed my thyroid which gave me dry eye. But, I've been taking Synthroid for about 6 years and it has worked out for me so far. I did not know that hypo could cause so many problems. I should have realized it. I also have MS which really complicates everything. Thanks for all the good information.

I understand what you are talking about. I was able to deal with my anxiety on my own for a long period of time. Within, the last 6 months have suffered many attacks. I finally made an appointment with a therapist and now back on meds. They have been helpful. If you haven't made an appointment, as others have suggested make an appointment, write down your symptoms and questions to take with you.

What has worked for me (a miracle)
- Magnesium
- B Complex
- Multi-vitamin (not always)
- Bach Flowers (still trying to get the right dose as I went from a 2 to a 7 (on a scale of 1 through 10) but seeking to feel a 10.

This remedy has saved a person from a life of torment (diagnosed with anxiety) have OCD. Was prescribe many drugs just refuse to go on them.

Very recently I realized how connected anxiety and stomach issues is. I have suffered from IBS for A few years now. How can doctors help your stomach issues when they originate from emotional and psychological issues?

Anxiety sucks. I take clonazrpam as needed. Larazepam causes suicidal thoughts and severe drowsiness. I had to get off that.
