Well about one month ago I think I suffered from a Anxiety/or Panic Attack and decided to go to A&E , they looked at my heart by connecting me up to a system, they looked at blood pressure , blood sugar and lungs. All came back normal. I then went home. For the past month I have not been feeling like my self, I have had 3 smaller attacks but they were not as bad as the first. However I just dont feel like myself each day, sometimes I will have day’s feeling very normal, but others I just dont. Well I went to my GP the other day to discuss this feeling and I even noted down all my symptons for him:

Symptoms

1ST Time a month ago.

Palpitations/racing heart.

Taking deep breaths.

Feeling shortness of breath.

Dizziness.

Dry mouth and throat.

Left arm feels slightly different ( not pin and needles ) more like a small amount of the dead arm feeling.

Back pain ( A tender spot in the middle of my back ) Feels tender when pressed.

Random cracking sensation on the middle chest bone when I sneeze.

Headaches

Around the 21st March :

Stool’s changed in colour to a lighter brown , solid but with a soft texture.

24th March : Stools have returned to normal in colour but still soft in texture along with random times in total of 3 where they are more softer.

He asked me a few small questions, about my work and if it’s stressful, etc. Then he wrote a note and sent me back to UCH Hospital, I asked him I want to be tested for colestral and he said they will do all the test.

I got to UCH 1 hr later, and was seen my the nurse at first and they were a little confused why he sent me back.,, I was then seen by the doctor, who listened to my heart and lungs, and he sat me down and we talked about my symptoms and he belives they are caused by Anxiety. He then told me he will send a extronic letter to my GP ( I guess thats a email ) to get me tested for something that shows in blood , can not remember the name of it. So I called my GP and was told he is now away for a week off, I now am going to be seen by another doc on Monday. I just feel that he was truly not bothered. I just want to get it sorted, perhaps I should change my GP all together. What do you think Have you ever had Anxiety? Many thanks
ooooop’s I forgot to say: I’m a 28 year old male

Physical symptoms of anxiety coming back after being on Lexapro for 6 months?
Has anyone else found that they suffer more from the physical symptoms (nausea, hot flushes, shaky, headaches, diarrhoea) rather than the scared typical anxiety attack? I suffer from that as well as depression. When I first started Lexapro (10mg) i also took 2 months of Clonazepam at night (.5mg). The Lexapro has been working really well until just recently when I have been getting so angry and frustrated at everyday things. Things I would usually ignore, now make me really angry, most just before my period so some of it will be PMS as well. But I have also been having the anxiety symptoms back as well. My doc told me to up the lexapro dose to 20mg.. not to wean up to it, just to double it and she said I shouldnt have any side effects from doing that. Has anyone else done this? The first night I took the increased dose, the next day I have increased anxiety and felt horrible so last night I just took the 10mg. But then even this morning I feel horrible.. Do you think I need the Clonazepam for a little while until the new dose settles? Any advice or personal experiences would be great to hear, I have a husband who doesnt understand any of this so to hear from people that do is really helpful.

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

i have been having headaches, on the left side of my head mainly, like around where your jaw is right above your ear. it feels like a achy throbbing pain. Also my head hurts on top, back, sides, in my neck. Everywhere. Although its not too bad, i worry daily, and i cant get this out of my mind! Its like a slight achy pain, and somtimes is worse then others. I have had some sinus problems, and also some ear infections. However, the first thought was a brain tumor.. and now im worried that thats what it is. I see these people online talking about how they went to the doctor and was diagnosed with depression/andxiety over these symptoms and turned out to be a brain tumor. Which is why i worry so much.

I get dizzyy, like lightheaded feeling. I sometimes feel weak (i think a little bit of it is phsyological though..) I sometimes feel weird, like im not myself too.

I see floaters a lot in the morning, not so much to where i cant see in my vision feild but enough of them, i see shadows that cross my eyes, like see through black small shadows. I sometimes see like "colored lights", like how it looks when you stare at a light for too long then look into a darker spot. Sometimes my vision feels shaky, but i have never blacked out, had real bad blurred vision, no doubled vision, ect. ect. I googled these, and it said there harmless. i should mention that my right eye had always been worse then my left eye

There is no history of any cancers/brain tumors in my family, but anxiety does run in my family. The only reason im second guessing the anxiety thing is because i dont have anxiety/panic attacks. Just feel anxiety symptoms. I have been to the doc for a check up, and also because of my symptoms i was experiancing and they said i am healthy, it was 2 diff doctors. MD’s. And both said i am healthy, checked my reflexes, blood work, strength, and gave me a physical, checked my BP, and everything.

I feel that i am a hypercondriac, but what if im not and these symptoms are real??? Im just scared im going to wait to long and die. For some reason thats what i always think about, is the worst of sintuations. If i have a head ache its a tumor, if i have a stomach ache, its stomach cancer.
I hate feeling this way, ive always been a little bit of a hypercondriac, i guess it was just the way i was raised. But do my symptoms sound like anything i should be running to the ER for? Do they sound like i should see a neurologist? I havnt yet cause my mother doesnt think i need too, and she says i am a hypercondriac. She wont take me to the doc again, cause they keep telling me im healthy, and have nothing to worry about.

After a knee surgery, I began developing strong panic attacks and headaches-I was a clean sheet before the surgery-perfect vitals and very social, the anxiety began to decrease but would reappear with the headache-I would get aroused thinking something was wrong with me (brain tumor, aneuyrism, ext). The problem was that I kept thinking it was mental as the symptoms became more and more physical. I began experiencing more de javus than usual and there were times where if I tried to remember something or pondered over an even or a present fact too much, I would get sudden extreme pains on the right side of my head (front and middle) and an anxiety attack lasting no more than 10 seconds would ensue. At times, a lot of looking back and observational thoughts bring upon the strange feeling-the pressure in my head is constant but if I don’t think about it, and am busy, it usually goes away-although there have been times when it appears without its recollection-what is this??

I suffer from a lot of anxiety, stress, and panic attacks. I am very familiar with the headaches, stomach ailments, and tension that can be caused by these. But lately I have SO MANY other health issues going on. It is at the same time that I’ve been faced with the worst stress of my life. I have been dealing with a stalker and feel like I can never relax. Although the court issued a restraining order protecting me, the feeling just doesn’t go away. I am unhappy living there now and therefore working as well, because the stalker would bother me at my workplace. I am not happy with my relationship and just have a ton of stress in my life. I’m used to the usual stuff but lately I feel sick head to toe! I am wondering what kind of physical problems others have gotten from stress? I have severe chest pain, shortness of breath, sore throats, earaches, toothaches, joint pain, fatigue, crying spells, nausea, insomnia, you name it. I am starting to worry about my health – that maybe I have a real disease or something scary going on. Any words of wisdom?

I’m pretty healthy for a person my age (40s)…but in the last six months, I’ve been completely stressed out! I think the stress or anxiety from work and stuff is turning into physical stuff. I have bad headaches(never did before), my teeth hurt (I think I grind them in the night), have heartburn and ulcer symptoms (including stomach upset…almost always at night…like it wakes me up), my throat almost always feels like I swallowed a marble and sometimes my tongue mysteriously feels ‘forced’ up to the roof of my mouth instead of just laying there like it should, and a lot of different aches and pains. It’s making me miserable…short temper…sleepless nights…can’t concentrate…seems like I’m falling a part. (Family M.D. can’t seem to find anything obvious when I see her and everyone seems to think its the stress)Do stress or anxiety do these things to you? Or is this some wierd jungle disease or something!?!

Apparently I am sensitive to medication. The only thing that seems to actually work for me is Clonazepam, but of course that is addictive. I am on Buspirone (Buspar) for Anxiety, and 20mg of Fluoxetine for Treatment Resistant Depression.

My doc has just started me on 250mg Lithium too to "augment the fluoxetine" because I asked for an alternative, but now I am getting killer headaches….

I can’t get to sleep at night until the early hours of the morning because my head just won’t turn off, even though I am exhausted, and then I am like in a coma to wake up even with 2 alarm clocks…

I have been round and round in circles for years doing the "trial and error" thing and really do wonder whether there is any truth to "finding the right one" i.e. medication anymore. Are they just trying to get us all hooked on drugs? I feel I have MORE CONFUSION on medication than off and yet it must help a little, but I am just so exhausted all the time too. I cant sleep at night nowdays either, which I never used to have a problem with. When they increase my fluoxetine I actually feel more depressed/worse!

I just feel like there is really no hope or answers out there anymore. I’ve tried everything including so much internet research, Vitamin B’s, Omega 3’s, Exercise and keeping myself busy. I just feel so stressed out but numb at the same time, its very weird to explain.

I havent been able to work for 3 years and I actually feel like I’ve been getting worse, perhaps because of the continually intense financial pressure to make ends meet even though I am an exceptional budgeter…

Can anyone, please provide or suggest some helpful solutions. I have exhausted all my resources, prayed my heart out, followed my doc’s every advice, try to eat well etc and tried so many different drugs that all seem to have severe side effects.

Am I going to be like this for life????? I dont feel like I am living at all, I just feel like I have been existing and fighting a battle I can’t win….Does ANYTHING else help that might be natural? Kava does help from time to time but its expensive…

I am an 18 year old male that has been struggling with hypochondria and severe anxiety for most of my life. I have worried about such things as heart attacks and appendicitis, however i can assure you this is a bit different.
For a few years now, I have been suffering from several symptoms, such as depersonalization, severe lack of concentration and minor lack of memory, and vision problems (such as floaters and increased sensitivity to light), I have never had good vision though. I have had extreme nearsightedness all my life. Just recently I have been having regular pressure headaches on the left side of my head, about midway back and seemingly deep. Anyway, I have recently been worrying more and more about the possibility of a brain tumor. I am absolutley not a person to be running to the ER at every little sneeze, but one day last year, my DP got so bad (before I knew what DP really was) that I had to take a trip to said ER. I underwent a CT scan, which came up clear, but my symptoms continued.
On one side of the coin, I know how anxiety can affect the physical body, and after spending months online searching my condition, I’ve discovered many people that have symptoms close to mine.
On the other side of the coin, well, I’m a hypochondriac and I am very concerned about the little details- The fact that tumors can sometimes take a long while to be noticed, that CT scans aren’t always accurate, and the fact that i feel just so abnormal that its hard to think that anxiety could cause such persistant physical symptoms. At times I get so paranoid that I do not talk to anyone, and I am just locked alone in this state of horror.
On a side note, I am almost always exhausted. I find it terribly difficult to get up and go to work, and once I get there I feel that I may fall asleep halfway through my shift. Oddly, sometimes after I have been working for about 5 hours, I feel less tired and more motivated. Bear in mind that I do not always "wake up" after working, it is not an everyday occurance.

So, if anybody out there has any idea at all about what I should think, please don’t hesitate to respond.

Thanks in advance,
Nate.

I already know a lot about my anxiety, I went to a psychologist, but it didn’t help much, well, it did a bit, but obviously I’m not cured, and I never will be.
I’m wondering what social anxiety is, and does it naturally come with anxiety, like when I’m in public, I’m so paranoid of everyone, I think everyone is out to get me
I’m 15 and if I’m with my mum I still need her to come to the toilet with me and everything, the other day she asked me to wait outside the shop with all the shopping so she didn’t have to carry it and I said ok but I was so scared that every person that walked past had a hidden motive and that they were a bad person
I always panic when I’m around strangers, I hate catching the train and bus home from school, I’m irrationally scared of it, I worry that someone crazy might be on the train or bus, or that someone will sit next to me or stare at me
When I’m sitting at the bus stop, if someone such as a man over 20 sits next to me or an indecent looking person sits next to me I basically have a panic attack, once there actually was a crazy person who sat next to me and started talking to me, I’d never been so scared or worried
I have heaps of fears, some irrational too, I have normal ones like spiders and the dark, but also of completely random things like saliva and mammograms (don’t even ask, I don’t even know)

Sometimes I think I’m ok, but my physical symptoms are still there, even at school I get really panicky because I feel there’s too many people around and I get really dizzy and get headaches and feel sick

How could I deal with any of this?

I have been diagnosed with panic disorder about two weeks ago before i was diagnosed I had been up under a great deal of stress for about two weeks straight. Then I noticed one day that my muscles were twiching more than usually then that same night my muscles twiched in my chest and scared me. I thought my heart was doing somthing weird so this caused me to have a panic attack. For the rest of the night I felt really weak and had a head ache. Then next day I woke up feeling really weak and tired and I had chest pains. The next day I went to the doctor and told him how i was feeling and what happened and he put me on Effexor. For the past two months I had had tremors mostly in the legs, Chest pain in different parts of the chest, twiching muscles all over the body, Feeling real jittery at times, Feeling dizzy or light-headed from time to time throughtout the day, I have had this pressuer on the leftside of my head for 2 weeks, headaches, neck aches, heart speeds up 57-64bpm to 77-86
well I am not on effexor any more I been off it for over two weeks now I am on the generic brand of zoloft (Serlaline) because My family doctor up my dosage to 150mg form 75mg and I was almost sleep 2 nights after wards and rolled over and felt my heart racing with no symtoms of a panic attack so I went to the ER room and they did an EKG and said to find nothing wrong with my heart at the time but when i first got there my pulse was like 111 then after being there a while the nurse check it and she said that it was down to 81 and she asked me did it still seem to be beating fast and i said yes because usually at rest My puse ranges form 53bpm to 63bpm So I am really scared right now I am a 21 year old male in college was an athelete until all this came about. At times i wonder is there somthing wrong with my nevous system cause by stress. I wish I wouldn’t never started taking any kind of Anti-depressants.
I also sweat real easily esp. at night during sleep My legs sweat more than anything else. Then I also get cold real easy. I have always been a hot natured person every since i was a little kid. I havent really had any test done on my heart or any besides an EKG and a BLood test. The frequent coming a going chest pain that come and go really scare me at times. I has feel as if I have the little episodes of being short of breath when i am not doing nothing I also be trying to fall asleep and at time i will either jump or awake with a snort or gasp for a breath

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 feel that i am a hypercondriac, but what if im not and these symptoms are real??? Im just scared im going to wait to long and die. For some reason thats what i always think about, is the worst of sintuations. If i have a head ache its a tumor, if i have a stomach ache, its stomach cancer.
I hate feeling this way, ive always been a little bit of a hypercondriac, i guess it was just the way i was raised. But do my symptoms sound like anything i should be running to the ER for? Do they sound like i should see a neurologist? I havnt yet cause my mother doesnt think i need too, and she says i am a hypercondriac. She wont take me to the doc again, cause they keep telling me im healthy, and have nothing to worry about…..help please.

I suffer from panic attacks and mild agoraphobia. Currently I am seeing a Psychologist who is working with me using Cognitive Behavior Therapy but I have seen him only one time. My last major panic attack which is my first was back in December of last year. Ever since then, most of everyday I have a problem with shortness of breath, a choking feeling in my throat, dizzyness, feelings of faint, having a tight band on my head, headaches and visions problems like squinting and burning of the eyes. This is beginning to be bothersome to me and it feels like it would trigger a panic attack and of course, I dont want this to happen. Does anyone have a cure to this? I’ve been perscribed Zanax for my immediate panic attacks and later perscribed Klonopin for everyday use. I have not used my Klonopin yet because of mixed feelings about it. Does this medication help with this? I heard that relaxation exercises work to cure this. If so, where can I find out how to do it? Any info is appreciated.

I am 18 and suffering anxiety due to smoking pot two years ago. I had smoked for a while when I was 16 and I quit for 2 or 3 weeks but one day I didn’t want to go to work so I decided to smoke at a relatives of mine because I completely dread going to my after school job. All I can remember was me smoking and I was on my way out to go work anyway. I was about to leave and then this feeling came over me like I was going to die. I was completely confused and I thought I was going to faint or go insane. My cousin told me to calm down and took me the room and I felt as though the room walls would cave on me. I didn’t know what to think. I went to help my cousin make some coffee and I completely forgot how to make it! I was so confused and unreal. The unreal feelings scared me the most because I felt like everything in a arm distance was a mile away. I felt as though someone replaced cameras for my eyes and I was about to faint or die. My hearing was off as well. I felt as if I had cotton in my ears. This went on for 5 hours! Now I continue to feel numb and unreal. I am very afraid when I panic. I had these gigantic panic attacks like 4 times in the past year and every time they come I have an urge to call the ambulance.. I even embarrassed myself when I was at a fair when all the sudden I felt like I was going to die and he went to the near by paramedics. I forgot about my anxiety and was thinking I was sure I was going to die. I’m completely embarrassed to think of that now. I also had the worst derealization that night also. I felt like I was so numb and everything was a movie. I even ignored all my friends. I left with my younger sibling early and the ½ mile walk to my vehicle was hell! I thought at any moment I was going to pass out or die from an aneurysm. I hate these thoughts that creep in my life daily but that night made it so much worse. I am also afraid that I am hallucinating all of this. I really hate this feeling. I also have headaches and light headedness. I can’t seem to think these is all anxiety because of the physical symptoms. I gone to doctors and they don’t seem to care. One doctor told me to grow up because of my depressed feelings and other doctors don’t listen to me I have to repeat a lot of things because they don’t hear me the first time. I feel as though I have to have an attitude when I see the same doctors over again and every time I don’t get a good answer. I even had a panic attack and at the time I didn’t know what it was and the doctor said I had a nervous break down and gave me meds . I feel so down most of the time! I am constantly paranoid.. I need more help and what worries me most is the tingles in my head and I think I’ll die from an aneurysm!!!!! I’m going through so much and having this ruined my life. someone help.

I was having some problems, and The symptoms included Stomach pains, feeling of choking, and just dizziness, headaches, and loss of appetite, my fingers would freeze up and my whole body was tingling like i was recovering from a numbing shot. My dad took me to the emergency room. We found out i was having anxiety Attacks, and I was wondering what all you people with Anxiety do to relieve your panics or stomach aches or whatever. Thank You for letting me know because this is a really scary time for me. Peace!

let me start by saying i think i also have anxiety. for the past few months ive been stressing every illness there is out there, and have a major problem with "googling" all of my symptoms.
a while back i had something the doc said it was almost a sinus infection, i felt dizzy, stuff nose, ears hurting and full, popping ears, and so i googled my symptoms and most of them led to cancer of some kind! So i scared myself to death believing i had blood cancer.. well recently (2-3 wks ago) i had a check-up and i did not have blood cancer, did regular blood work they do for checkups, ooking all in my eyes, nose, and mouth, checked urine, and did just a physical, but my doc explained to me that im healthy. a week later now my ears are full again popping, and im dizzy/lightheaded again, so i looked up brain cancer/tumor symptoms, in the last week ive had headaches on the sides/back/and top of my head, but it wasnt followed by nausea, however i did throw up today, and yesterday, HOWEVER i am stressed out to the max! My boyfriend and i have been staying together, and i have grown so close to him, we been together for about 6 months, and had a long/fairly close friendship before we got together. Now he has court today and may get sent away for a long time. i came home ( im only 17 ) yesterday and my father started b*tching as soon as i walked in the door, along with my mothers mouth..! i been stressed about what im going to do at school, i havent been much this year because i had bouts of the flu, stomach virus, sinus infection, now ANXIETY! which is this worst part for me! It runs in my family, on both sides, thats why i sugested that. i worry about every small symptom i have, even if i know what is causing it, i still find myself googling it. but whats always on my mind now if BRAIN CANCER! It does not run in my family, no cancer does. below im going to list my symptoms, please give me any thought on what you think!
-headaches, sides,back,top. for 3 days. not severe though. have gone away now.
-TWITCHING ; in my head, sometimes feels like i cant keep my head still, like its uncontrollable, not really noticeable to others, just myself, also on my arms legs and hands and feet too, slight twitching and jerking. jumping.
-ears full, popping
-low sound vibrating/buzz like feeling in my left ear, last about 30 secs.! Only happend once, but looked it up and said it was a symptoms!
-stuffy nose
-dizzyness/lightheaded, sometimes!
-when i get nervous get a hot sensation on head and in face?
-no vision problems, besides sometimes vertigo.. rare for me
-pressure in forehead sometimes.
-and feeling emotional, and sometimes moody, feel almost bipolar!

btw ; i started crying really bad yesterday and vomited, and today after i ate, is this related to stress? i didnt even wanna get because i felt sad.

my main concern : DOES THE TWITCHING SOUND LIKE ANXIETY, I DIDNT THINK ANXIETY COULD DO THIS TO YOU UNTIL I LOOKED IT UP! ?

I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I have around the clock headaches, extremely low energy, sore spots on my body, aching joints and muscles, neck pain, back pain, I have a hard time concentrating or focusing, have anxiety, and stay worried and stressed all of the time and I can’t help it. These are all symptoms of fibromyalgia and everything I have tried hasn’t worked. I have 4 children who need more of me than what they are getting due to my physical condition. What is the best cure for this?
