General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

My anxiety has come back full force again and I forget what its like to be normal. Sometimes I don't even know why I am. The chest pains, dizzyness, nausea, headaches, feeling like my body goes limp, tensing muscles, choking sensation, weird pains, etc. All this has turned me into a hypochondriac. Feels like no one around me understands what its like to feel stressed all the time. Yet I have a clean bill of health. I feel like its weighing on me. Need re assurance I'm not alone.

You are NOT alone! I too have the same (and more) symptoms. People who have never dealt with this casualty do NOT understand what we go thru! Last Summer, I had the most advanced attack ever...my heart rate was 180...I go to ER..they run tests on heart, etc...all was fine...then they ask "me" why i take Xanax??? Unfortunately, too many healthcare professionals believe if physical tests reveal nothing...we are crazy! I have Panic, Anxiety, and Depression--PAD, or Pleasant At Death as I refer to myself....

Hang in there!

YOU are NOT alone!!! I have been dealing with this crap for about 5 years. It rid it's ugly head right after my Mom died from Breast Cancer. I have been to the ER and Drs so many times that I just started keeping my symptoms to myself. I really felt like NO ONE understood what I was going through. Then after I find this site, I said Thank God, there are other people like me out there.

I woke up this morning with gas like symptoms in my heart and my heart was racing face. I just keep telling myself this will pass, this will pass. I know I am rambling, but just know you are not alone. We all know what you are going through. Try to have a wonderful day.

Lanaleo15,

First off...Merry Christmas!

I think you may find some help with this by joining our Support Group on this site. We are currently in week three but if you friend me you will be able to catch up. I have the previous two weeks in My Journal on My Profile page.

I think you will absolutely find that you are not alone in your symptoms. There is a definite reason why you are feeling this way and there is a way to overcome it.

My best to you!

The Christmas holday is extra stressful trying to show a smile on your face in front of smiling cheerful people! You are really that way too under thwe pain!

talk to your doctor about Risperdol it is an untraditional anti anxiety medicine. Sometimes if you are resistant to anti anxiety meds or others it helps instead.

It helps reminding ourselves that other people are going though this. It allows us to relate and it gives us evidence that we won't die when our symptoms come to bother.
Hold on Lanaleo15. Keep getting outside support, and if you want a conversation with someone who can relate, don't doubt on talking to me. I need outside support myself. Having a conversation with someone that has been through the same always gives a sense of relief and calm.

Good luck.
