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. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

Ok Ive suffered from anxiety and panic for about 8 years now. Im 22. I just had a baby 6 months ago so I know my hormones are crazy. But in the past 5 months ive had a chest xray, EKG, Blood tests, CT scan of lungs, heart ultrasound, 24 hour heart monitor and everything is normal. But these symptoms scare me.

Racing heart
lump in throat
shaking
tingle and twitches in my temples and head
numbness
difficulty breathing
burping when i get really anxious
difficulty sleeping
racing thoughts
feeling as if im in a dream or everything is fake.
tired
shooting pains in head
check my pulse
dizziness
chest pain
stomach pain

There are probably more but that is all I can think of. The two scariest ones for me are the muscle spasms in my temples and head and the feelings of unreality. Do any of u guys have this. I need some comfort and support im so scared. Thank you!

i had prety much every syptom you did hun and yeah the unreality is terrifing but so amazingly common its one i think we all get and it does go away with time and treatment as im sure everyone here will tell ya :)

deleted_user 12/02/2007

I have almost all of those you mentioned hun. You are not alone.. xxxxx

deleted_user 12/02/2007

I have most of the symptoms you have. Been checked out thoroughly, nothing physically wrong with me.

Scary lots of times. The worst for me is when I get that impending sense of doom.

deleted_user 12/02/2007

i have these symptoms to it is a natural way teh body reacts to anxiety attacks

nicolou 12/02/2007

i have them too mate.. your not alone!! xx

You sound like a perfect candidate to hypnotherapy. There's no phyisological reason why you're having your symptoms like an issue with your heart or thyroid or hormone or enzyme overproduction. You would be truly amazed at the permanent results you'll be able to feel from a couple of quality hypnotherapy sessions. Do your homework.

deleted_user 12/02/2007

I feel this way everyday. Anxiety is difficult to deal with but take comfort in knowing you are not alone in this.

deleted_user 12/02/2007

Hey! Im 21 so I can relate to you.. but I get a ton of the same symptoms as you! I get the heart racing, lump in the throat, difficulty breathing, tired, always checking my pulse, chest pain.. and I could go on but I'll just say our symptoms are the same! lol so hang in there !!

its anxiety for sure-try not to take anything with caffine it works for me

deleted_user 08/24/2008

i have all of them. in fact, just right now i have about 5 of those listed LOL. i know what you're going through

deleted_user 08/24/2008

I've had most of them recently. I thought they were just hormones from having a baby too.

deleted_user 08/24/2008

I have this all the time x10!!! It is definitely anxiety.

Yeah, sweetie, I'm with you! The feelings of unreality are by far the scariest. Anytime I feel the least bit "off"-tired, or dizzy, or whatever, I get these feelings and it terrifies me. I thought I was losing my mind until I realized it's a symptom of anxiety/panic attacks. It's very common and very "normal" as these things go. I usually have to distract myself or just concentrate on my breathing until it goes away. Anyone else have a better solution? It happens a lot while I'm driving or just riding in a car.

deleted_user 08/24/2008

Not wierd: I have all of the following.
Racing heart -every day
difficulty breathing
difficulty sleeping-I have to take medication for this
tired
check my pulse
stomach pain/have to rush to the bathroom
I strongly suggest seeing a doctor for this. The meds do help. Is it possible you have some post-partum depression? My depression and anxiety seem to be related sometimes. I have a lot of worst case scenario thinking.

jlynn3100 08/24/2008

OMG! Heartache, I check my pulse, too; it's like if I can feel that my heart is still beating then it means I'll be okay. My mind always goes straight to "I'm going to die" rather than "I'm going to get through this".

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
