There is nothing wrong with my heart, I was at the hospital and got an EKG test about 2 months ago (where I had my first panic attack, and I’m 15), but
The last few days I’ve had a pain in my chest, arms, shoulders, nervous stomach, high blood pressure in a few seconds and felt dizzy (anxiety and panic attack symptoms), and EVERY morning these three days when I wake up, MY heart just beat SOO fast and I feel like I cannot breath, It’s so annoying and I get so nervous, and think I’m gonna die or have a heart attack, and I won’t go to sleep because of that…

WHAT AM I GONNA DO :/??
Anyone who have felt the same way??
PLEASE help??

Sincerely – Me

I’m having extreme difficulty in deciding whether I should go on the class field trip for my grade. I have been suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder and have been seeing a psychiatrist for over a year now, and have been taking medication. I’ve seen a significant drop in my anxiety symptoms (panic attacks before school, irrational worrying, shaking, fast pulse, etc) but a field trip puts me in an awful position. The field trip will be for a few days, and I’ve been increasingly nervous about it for a variety of reasons. I’ve gone on the field trip last year, and I had friends yet still was incredibly miserable and ended up crying a couple times and wanting desperately to go home. It made me feel sick and only worsened my social anxiety (I hate being in large crowds, it makes me feel rejected and such since I don’t have many friends) Due to this, I’ve been feeling more and more nervous about this one. My old friends don’t go to the same school anymore and the friends I do have aren’t very close, and there will be multiple occasions that I probably will be separated from them. I’ve already had several breakdowns in the last few days because I simply can’t figure out if I should go or stay– if I stay home, I will feel like I’m isolating myself from kids, and the last thing I want is to draw attention to myself because I’m the only kid skipping the trip. However, if I do go, I’m scared of getting increasingly nervous and having panic attacks, as well as having kids get a bad impression of me because I’ll be sick and depressed. (I also have horrid car sickness, and we will be on a bus for three hours… I’ve thrown up from bus rides before) So this leaves me with an awful dilemma. I’m frightened to death of going, just because I despise being rejected and alone, and I really have tried to make friends but to no avail. I suppose at this point I’m too shy and different for kids to like me, I’m just not ‘popular’ material. I am a very studious person and would rather do well in school and become successful than waste my time socializing and getting into drugs and alcohol. But then again… I do care about how people perceive me. I don’t want my only friends to turn their back on me because I didn’t go. Will I be letting them down if I don’t go? I keep thinking they will hate me.

Anyway, I’ve been rambling too long. What I really need is for someone to give me advice on this, and please don’t say "You should go, it’s a great opportunity to make friends". I’m sorry but I’ve heard that one too many times and it just doesn’t work for me. So please, I need a real answer this time, and tell me what you think. I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks again!

There is nothing wrong with my heart, I was at the hospital and got an EKG test about 2 months ago (where I had my first panic attack, and I’m 15 and not obese, though I have a lack of exercise), but
The last few days I’ve had a pretty mild kind of pain and pressure in/on my chest, arms, shoulders, nervous stomach, high blood pressure in a few seconds and felt dizzy (anxiety and panic attack symptoms, while I haven’t felt them today only in the morning), and EVERY morning these three days when I wake up, MY heart just beat SOO fast and I feel like I cannot breath, It’s so annoying and I get so nervous, and think I’m gonna die or have a heart attack/thrombus, and I won’t go to sleep because of that…

WHAT AM I GONNA DO :/??

For the past year I have been having anxiety attacks, because everything is stressing me out these days – school, dancing, etc. I’ll try not to go on about it, but I think it will help if I describe these anxiety attacks. I have dancing a few days every week. One of those days is Thursday. So during the day at school i’ll be fine, but this bad feeling will always be at the back of my mind and it creeps ever closer as the day goes on. I have dancing STRAIGHT after school, so by the time it’s last period, I start having an anxiety attack. There are two types. I may have either one.
#1= Paralyzing stomach pain. *Extreme* dread.
#2= Really really anxious and scared. Jumpy. Freaking out. Can not stay still at all. And I cannot stop talking.
This always happens… I’m just so scared that we’ll do something that I can’t do (or am not good at) (at dancing). That is a huge fear for me. I also get anxiety attacks about school if I have been away for long enough. Like I always have a minor attack after the 2 week holidays, but I am having a more major one right now because it is the end of the 6 week holidays. I have been away from school for 8 weeks however, as I got really really sick last year. It’s Wednesday, 2PM and I have school on Friday. I am FREAKING OUT. I’m so jumpy. And I’m freaking out even more because I have dancing TOMORROW after a 6-week break. How can I stop my anxiety attack? Just breathing slowly does not work! Help!
Sometimes it gets so bad that I get physically sick (which is what happened at the end of last year).
I can’t see anyone because I can’t afford that sort of thing and my parents think i just need to relax..

I love my new baby, but for some reason i have been having a few anxiety attacks the last few days… There not that bad, but I really dont want to go down this road again!! im freaking something is gonna happen to me… I had a great labor expierence, and a wonderful birth, no complications, but im scared ill get a blood clot and die…. My nurse told me that rarely ever happens with a vaginal birth, you have more of a chance with a c-section. She told me I really have nothing to worry about… anyone have a blood clot after birth and did you know?? would I know, because im aware of the symptoms… I just need some reassurance to ease my anxiety!

Hi, I have really bad anxiety and have had far too many panic attacks over this issue in the past few days. I’ll list out my symptoms and what the doc says, but I need some further explanation.

Symptoms:
-Chronic tension headache, soreness around head
-Swollen lymph nodes in neck, randomly become tender and painful, more swollen on the left side
-Sore lymph glands in groin, this is a more rare occurrence
-Possible spleen pain? This is more recent
-And obviously the full-fledged panic attacks over all this pain, usually resulting in vomiting, etc

Diagnosis:
-Seemingly random, but my doc says that my wisdom teeth have impacted, allowing an infection to get into my body which is why my glands are swollen, he didn’t really specify the exact kind or location of infection, just an increase in bacteria. He also said the wisdom teeth are causing the headaches

OVERALL QUESTION:
Is it normal for lymph nodes to become so swollen and sore when fighting off an infection? Even the glands in my groin and soreness in my upper left abdomen? Details and explanations (preferably consoling ones) are unimaginably appreciated.

I’m an 18 year old white male if it helps.
Thanks so much!

I have recently been diagnosed with anxiety. I’ve been doing a lot of research on it. My mom informed me a few days ago of black mold having the same symptoms of anxiety. I found this to be true. Now, we’re not gross people, but we have had black mold in our house before. Our house also has no ventilation. So here’s the deal. Yes, I’ve been diagnosed with anxiety, but I’m not anxious about anything, nor am I scared of people or being outside. I’m rather passive about it. It doesn’t make sense to my as to why I would have anxiety when I don’t feel that I actually do. I love being out and about! I actually feel better when I am. As for being in the house, I feel awful. My breathing always feels labored and my chest hurts. I’ve been having problems eating because of it. The hospital (numerous times) said it was anxiety. In your opinion, does this sound like a problem with black mold or anxiety? I’m really confused about it. This is getting ridiculous. I’m spending money on medication that isn’t even doing anything for me.

WHAT IS IT? I really dont know what to call it anymore.

And I need help with this, because this has been happening for a long time now (about 2-3 years) and i’m about to go on Meds because I cant take the anxiety anymore. I even asked for a few days out of school and even the assistant principle let me out, because My grades started droppinh due to this problem with the ‘eyes’ and my anxiety thats it gotten so bad in school. People think that ‘im shy’ but i just tend to introvert because i feel so nervous! i mean they dont know how i feel! i get nauseaus, tightness in the chest and stomach pain….and this is like almost everyday, especially in school. Im about to be a senior in high school so i have to battle this anxiety with the Eye phobia and anxiety because I want live a normal life and I dont have any friends due to this stupid thing taking over my life.
I am getting the help do, i started going to psychologists, for the past 6 months and to a psychiatrist/and therapist. I am going to get medicine because I get too nervous, and I need to be fine as I am about to be a singer and probably sign a contract. I will be meeting alot of people so i really need to be better and battle this anxiety with time. please help me.

DO you know what this eye fixation/phobia is and ways that it starts??? Did anyone ever hear of it? It’s like i look at a persons eye and feel extremely uncomfortable, and i cant look away. it’s like as soon as I look at people, i just look into their eyes rather then their face and this has caused me so much anxiety and ive isolated myself alot from people because i cant tell they feel very anxious too as it looks like im staring at them…but i really dont want my eyes to do this anymore!!!

do you think my bad social anxiety started with this problem with the eyes?? Because both things started about the same time.

THANKS! HELP ME
My life has been like hell for the past 3 years. I pray to God alot though, because I need that strength.

I REALLY NEED TO KNOW WHATS UP WITH MY EYES< WHY DO I DO THIS??
i think people with anxiety alone can stand this, but this eye phobia and fixations really makes it unbereable for me. I cant even look at people anymore and i look from my sides, because i get so nervous. I hate it. ;(
**I lose Focus too with everything I do. *** just so you know.

I noticed lately I’ve been shaking and twitching uncontrollably (my legs mostly), within the past few days. I’ve been diagnosed before as having a panic disorder (and prescribed to Lexapro though I haven’t taken it) so is this just another symptom associated with anxiety? I often confuse my symptoms and blow them up into something much bigger and this causes me to get even more anxious and nervous. How do I determine when or whether or not my anxiety is bothering me? How do I counteract it? What are symptoms of anxiety I should look for?

I have extreme anxiety and very bad allergies and asthma. So The symptoms are not that hard for me to get. I have been taking the doxycycline for 4 days now and I get chest tightness at times, itching of eyes, fingers, legs, head.. I guess what I am saying is is this mostly in my head… wouldnt I have went into shock by now If I have been getting these symptoms for the past few days instead of it coming and going?

well im 14, and a few days ago, (wednesday) my fashion teacher announced a project where the winner who’s winning runway design will be used for the school show and get to present it there! i was so happy, and ive been busting my butt working on it because i want to win it so badly.

but anyways that night, i started feeling a tightness/closing in feeling in my throat/strained breathing, same with yesterday night. but then it happened multiple times today, it happened on the way to school in history, math, and spanish, in the car twice, and once during dinner, so thats eight times. in a way i feel like each time it gets a bit more worse and lasts longer. it feels like its hard to breathe, like a shortness of breath. it goes away and comes but today its been happening multiple times.

i asked my dad about it and he thinks its an anxiety attack, i looked it up and one of the symptoms was like the shortness of breath due to stress… im going to the doctor tomorrow morning already but i just want to know, is this an anxiety attack? also for anyone who has experienced an anxiety/panic attack, can you describe what it feels like? thanks

My 23 year old daughter is the youngest of three children. She is a lovely girl who graduated from a fine University one year ago. She took a job right after graduation with a large retail company and was hired into a management training program. Within a few months she started to suffer from anxiety attacks and her health started to fail. She developed all kinds of somatic complaints including some physical problems like severe acne which she had never had before. All physical exams and blood work came up negative. She would not take antidepressants but tried exercise and yoga. She quit the job and things improved but now I notice she is starting to suffer from anxiety and hypochondria again. She calls me on the phone every few days telling me she is sure she has skin cancer or lymphoma. Because I am a nurse I know her symptoms are not related. In the past we determined that 24 hours after any alcohol she would go through these fragile times. Any ideas or similar experiences?

I am asthmatic and just moved from Minneapolis to Houston a few months ago. I am originally from Houston and lived in Minneapolis for one year. When I got to Houston I used my albuterol inhaler and it gave me arrhythmias and tachycardia. I had these feelings for a few days and went to my physician. He gave me a holter monitor and said I had signs of tachycardia. I went to the cardiologist and he said there is nothing wrong with my heart (stress echo-sound). I went to gastroenterologist for nausea and faintness. Diagnosed with gastritis given nexium 40mg and sent home. Now the only symptom I have is periodic (every other day or so) chest tightness/heaviness/pressure. My doc says it is my asthma, but I have never had these symptoms. My asthma always consisted of wheezing and that is it, never chest tightness. Also he thinks it may be anxiety and put me on 0.5mg xanax, but I have never had problems with anxiety before. Also I was switched from albuterol to xopenex. Any ideas / suggestions

For the past year or two, I’ve suddenly experienced intense panic attacks. I’ve only had two spells that last a few days to a few weeks. I have depression and know that it is linked to anxiety, but I want to find the root of the problem so I can really began healing it. I just don’t know what could have caused it. Are there any starting points? Any red flags or triggers?

Alright, I have a feeling that I had an anxiety attack 2 weeks ago.
I had this dizzy feeling, an my heart started to beat fast.
I was with my mom, Im 12.
I lied down on the bed, and drank water and felt better after 6-7 minutes
Well, the doctor didn’t know what I was having since it was only the first day, I am overweight, I weighed 68 kilos, and I am 5foot.
Though the day after I started losing weight, eating healthy.
I had another anxiety attack a few days after.
The 2 weeks are up, I haven’t had an anxiety attack in a while.
Though, I still have shortness of breath, and chest pain, and abit of numbness. I used to weigh 68, now I weigh 65.
If I continue losing weight, stayin healthy, and calm the heck down will thes ephysical symptoms go away? are there any natural treatments?
or do I need medical treatment?
People with experience said they didn’t need it, and used natural remedies to heal it.
Though I don’t know those natural remedies.

I posted a question a few days ago about vertigo. I have started feeling slightly lighed headed lately as well. I suffer from some pretty severe anxiety this time of year as well. I do have a fullness of the ears and a slight pain in my left ear as well. I am a smoker but have cut back drastically in the last couple days, which could account for some of the dizziness. I have been to the hospital serveral times in the last few years with nothing out of the ordinary sprining up. I have been on and off of anxiety meds and it does seem that these symptoms always pass as winter begins.

Currently Taking Prozac, and have very little desire. Tried adding Wellbutrin and could not tolerate it. I’m a male.
I know Wellbutrin is a popular add-on, but I really felt un-nerved and could not tolerate the feeling for more than a few days. This was on only the 150 xl dose

Thinking of going on a med next week, but I still have the next few days. There is a lot of pain all throughout areas of my body including the head and chest.

They started a while ago, and for no reason. At random times every few days or so I’ll freak out over nothing. I worry a lot, and that makes them worse. I experience nausea, dizziness, shaking, and I get really emotional. I know it’s all in my head though.
Any way I can calm myself down, and experience these panic/ anxiety attacks less frequently?
They are getting worse

I have been having overwhelming anxiety and panic attacks for about a month. This consists of stomach pains and nausia, diarhea, indigestion, heart palpatations, and fatique. Lately it’s become so over powering I’ve become more emotional. I am two days late for my period now too. I took an early pregnancy test a few days ago that was negative, but could this still be a symptom?

Has anyone had symptoms like this in their pregnancies?

I have been diagnosed with only post tramatic stress..I am said to be healthy ..I don’t feel healthy.I wake in the mornings seem to be ok..I eat breakfast and then do somethings.But 3 pm im so tired and start feeling weak and just kind of shakey.i have been checked out with a ok on my physical being..But don’t know if what im feeling is depression or physical.I really don’t have any symptoms Im told of heart disease nor anything else…Most days I seem to be ok ,but the last few days I have gotten really tired and weak by afternoon which seems to subside later in the evening with only a general sense of not being well.I can’t really decide if im feeling something as a symptom or its just anxiety depression.If it were something bad i would think that the symptoms would persist all of the time not just at different moments.. Most of the day I seem ok but evenings around 3 pm to sunset I seem to feel worse..maybe its my imagination and its creating more sensations which causes anxiety ?
