So about 7 months ago I was a party animal. Always drinking and taking a variety of drugs, MDMA being the main one. Eventually I overdosed and took alot more than I should have. I blacked out and during this time I had the most vivid dream that I had a heart attack and died. I woke up the minute I hit the floor and I had real physical pains since. I've seen a cardiologist and had hundreds of tests so coming to believe I do have anxiety. Guessing somerging happened to my brain that night. The issue is I've been having chest pain, chest tightness, pains in left arm, always feeling dizzy and much more for the last 7 months daily without fail. Has anyone else had anxiety this bad? It's ruining my life and everyone else around me. Not to mention it's getting me down and depressed. Tried Sertaline for a day and felt horrible and stopped taken them. Thanks.
I've had anxiety all my life and was only found out after 2 buns outs. Since then I have been a cocktail of doctors and their medications.
So my advice would be, to objectively analyse each and every single symptom, do go to one doctor that has good recommendations so you won't take too much of anyhting. and who also has a team of therapists.
Also, try relaxations techniques by youself your with free app as well. This would at least give you time to prepare when a doctor comes in with those similar. (yoga, regression and hipnotherapy are all very good as well, though they did not work for me)
It sounds as if you are having a panic attack. A person will feel the symptoms of a heart attack when they are going through an anxiety/panic attack. They will feel their arm tighten up/pains in chest.... I am currently on Zoloft... but you can not take it alone.. it must be balanced out with an anti-anxiety medication. For example, xanax and zoloft work together to stop these panic attacks. If you have had all your blood tests ...done by a Cardiologist...come back normal... then it would benefit you to see a psychiatrist and be put on these controlled substances with will help you greatly. Sertaline/zoloft will only make you more anxious if you don't have an anti-anxiety medication to take it with. There is so much help out there... go get it. xx
I've had anxiety for the last 2 years and every day I have chest tightness, chest pain, had pain, pain in my left arm and so forth. Usually the chest pain is what gets me. It always puts that thought in my head that their is something wrong with my heart even tho I have had an array of test done over two years and everything is fine. Like no joke every day I have off and on chest pain, literally Every dayg for 2 whole years man.
Its not nice man, really is taking over my life and putting me down all the time! Wish there was a way to stop it all
I've heard of a supplement called "5-HTP" it's a natural supplement that increases serotonin in the brain naturally. Most anxiety and depression is caused from low levels of serotonin, especially in my case as I abused drugs I've most likely depleted my serotonin. I'll try this before taking any anti depressants and anti anxiety medication as the thought of taking them scare me! All the horror stories!
Yes, I have taken 5-HTP along with GABA. It did not work for me... I might have had a more severe case of anxiety that you have.
Personally I doubt that, I haven't tried 5-HTP that was simply suggested to me. I've got your symptoms 10 fold. I have the following;
- Chest pain all the time
- Pains in left arm
- lower and upper back pain
- panic attack disorder
- GAD generalized anxiety disorder
- headaches
- disorientation
- blurred vision
- constantly feel dizzy
- Depressionalization (feel disconnected from reality
And the list goes on, I have these every second of the day for the last 7 months when I got diagnosed with anxiety. Thanks though I'll pass on 5-HTP as think my anxiety might be more server than yours
I’m the same. None of these natural supplements work
I have same problem. Cardiologist too my all heart test and remains normal. I just smoke. I feel pinching in heart weak left arm. Dr said its anxiety. You take your dr medicine and consult with pcycologist . I have same symtoms like feel life is stoped i feel i got heart attack and i will die. You believe in GOD AND leave all bad habbits like drinking party girls etc. Live a peaceful life help other you will feel satisifation.
