Hey guys, I have been experiencing tightness in chest, shortness of breath, and a really weak feeling, along with some minor sore throat, and headaches. I also have body aches. I am a pretty healthy 15 year old boy. These symptoms come up after doing physical work, so this could mean asthma. But, even after I rest for a while, it still persists. It also does it in the night, and wakes me up. I feel nervous and overwhelmed, and scared like I need someone to talk to. My heart pounds like I’ve been running and I feel like I’m getting about 50 percent of the air I need. This is a sign of a panic attack. I have general anxiety disorder, which would increase my chances of having a panic attack. If it is a panic attack, could it also cause headaches and muscle tension? And it just started when the weather got cold, so could it be a form of allergies? Also, why would I have panic attacks after physical work? Could it be stressing me out? Also, I’ve heard panic attacks are only a few minutes, is this true? Mine can last up to an hour. I apologize for the long list of questions, I’m just really concerned. I’mdefiantlyy going to the doctor very soon.
I forgot to put that I’m extremely dizzy and light headed during these spells

So I have bronchitis and I was planning on going to the doctor.
and ive been on break from school for the past 2 weeks. and since then ive had nothing to do except sit at home and lay here and think all these negative thoughts

I used to be active (i was on the swim team for the entire season )
and now i havent swam in over a month

I had my first panic attack when nobody was home, and i was FREAKING OUT AND LOSING CONTROL.
and i keep reading and reading and reading, and im seeing a therapist soon
bottom line, i think all this has given me depression and GAD panic attack stuff.
im panicky all day long until i go to sleep (and its hard for me to fall asleep because im basically worrying myself sick)

can these worries lead to something more?
because I have wierd feelings in my left arm that are EXTREMELY exaggerated when im nervous.
my left arm also feels heavy (if i think about it)
now bear with me, i know this sounds crazy
because i believe im going crazy when this happens.
i try to stand and feel all jello-like in my legs and i have to sit down.

sometimes im scared to go in the shower because i had an attack in the shower.
(every place i have anxious feelings about i want to avoid)
this is the most scary thing

i have school on january 5, and when i went to the doctors office i wanted everyone to leave,or me to leave, or just to escape the room. then i went and saw the doctor ad i was very nervous……….>.< AHHH! i just want to SCREAM.
(which i have done ;D )

but…my sister is in a treatment facility and she has been for the past year or so, and all the stress form that has been eating away at me. (maybe thats a big thing)

but are these physical symptoms something more?
because they seem to go away when I dont think about it….i think…..GAHH I DONT KNOW

for the past month i keep imagining myself in an asylum screaming and crying that nobody can help me.
and mom and dad are like "why….why did this have to happen….etc." and my SISTER is already away for massive problems with mentality, and i dont want to be insane.

AM I INSANE?!

(sorry this is so long…..and bless you if you read it all xD)
but i feel crazy rambling, but im trying to explain just how scary this is.

SO! when i went to the store yesterday, i felt trapped and scared
and if im like, going to school, how the HELL am i supposed to feel being away from home, etc.
but i AM going to go.
I HAVE TO.

therapy can help?

please.
any body out there as scared and confused as I am?
i mean…I want my life back
im only 15…..

>.> my heart goes out to anyone who feels this way
and will these feelings pass?
by the way, my sister and i are adopted from different families in Russia, and we dont know anything about our heredity.
were in america now.

Alright, so basically I have anxiety.
And I had my first panic attack a month and a half ago.
I am 12, weighing currently 66 kilos(around 130 pounds) and 5 feet tall.
Can you cure anxiety without medication? If so, what are the natural remedies? There are famous sites that cure anxiety, and alot of people reviewed on it and said it works, though I don’t want to pay for it. Does anyone know those natural remedies, besides going to the doctor, therapy, etc.
btw, I went to the doctor the first day, when I had my first panicattack, the first man said he wasn’t sure if I had anything wrong with me, my blood pressure was perfect for my age. We went to another doctor just to get another opinion, she said I’m absolutely fine, I’m just a little too stressed for my age.
So, that hopefully, must lead to anxiety.
Since I have the symptoms.
numbness/tingling/slight coldness at times in toes/fingers.
dizziness sometimes, and shortness of breath, chest pain.
I need your help please
(:

I’ve been having panic attacks over the past year. I know they make medication for it, but i’d really rather not take any. Going to the doctor has always kind of weirded me out and i’m still kind of too embarrassed about the attacks to go public about it. Are there any other things that could help me keep them under control?

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

so…since my mother in law died about 9 months ago, i started to get bad anxiety attacks. she died of a heart attack, so of course i would start to think that I’m having one, but it’s gotten worse, with the shit economy I’ve been laid off for about 8 months now, so all i do is sit here and just think about stuff. Every little thing scares me, i got bit by a tick yesterday, so now all the sudden I have lymes disease, I have thought about going to the doctor over my anxiety, but haven’t over the fear that what if something is actually wrong, it’s one thing after another, and now i can’t sleep…awesome.
ya, right after i pulled the tick out i was on the internet for 3 hours just reading, making myself sick. this is just stuff that i deal with all the time, i just have to realize for the most part i’m going to know if i need medical attention, so i need to work on just calming myself down. thank you for your answers by the way, it’s always comforting to know that someone else knows what i’m dealing with.

I know what anxiety is but what are the symptoms? And what does a panic attack feel like? I’ve read about it on the internet but I’d like to hear some personal experiences. Can anybody help?
I’m going to the doctor later today to see if I have anxiety and I just wanted to know if maybe I do before I go. When I have these attacks I get sweaty and clammy and my chest feels heavy like I’m underwater trying to get to the surface to catch a breath but I can’t and I freak out really bad. I’m always stressed over something and it could be the smallest or stupidest thing ever but I’ll stress over. I have sleeping problems. It’s hard to fall asleep and when I fianlly get to sleep I can’t stay asleep. I get angry really easily and I’m always irritated.. It’s hard for me to just relax. Does this sound like anxiety?

I’ve been feeling it all day. Shortness of breath, that is. I also feel my heart beating through my chest, and my hands have been trembling a lot. Could this be anxiety, panic stress, etc. I got in a bad car wreck about a week ago, but walked away uninjured. Could it be linked to this? I am going to the doctor on tuesday, should I go sooner? Please just tell me anything, I just want to feel better.
