Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Hi,
I have just joined this group although I'm not sure if i really suffer from anxiety. I have had panic attacks in the past and for a long time I was constantly anxious that i was going to lose my job or something terrible was going to happen. This seemed to get better at the begining of the summer but then I started feeling really angry. Since December I started having this really weird symptom that I find hard to describe and is what i wanted some advice about. Before this I would sometimes feel this way as I was trying to get to sleep. I would get this feeling in my chest and would have to move, get up etc to make it go away in december it started happening all the time. Its just a feeling in my chest and I have to take a deep breathe to make it go away but then it comes back again. It went away for a while when life got less stressful but now it seems to be back again and it has really been on me the last few days and I don't know how to make it go away or what it is. Does it sound like anxiety to you?

Have it checked out just in case!
When my panic attacks start, I feel a heaviness in my chest that feels like a ten ton elephant is sitting on my chest. Sometimes deep breathing helps, but usually I have to rely on my meds to control mine.
I know when I am not stressing like I am at the moment, that I don't get those feelings in my chest as often.
It sounds like you have anxiety, but I don't want to give you advice that is not right for you! Reason I say that is I have actually gone the to ER once becase I honestly thought I was having a heart attack.
