Hi, I’m really hoping that someone can shed some light on my symptoms and help me some what. It all started after I had my little boy by c section nearly 2yrs a go when they did my spinal the pain shot down my leg and it hurt the nurse didn’t seem to think it was a problem..anyway I had the baby and everything was fine. When my little boy was about 4months I went to the dr and told her I had pain and cramp in my leg she said it was quite normal so off I went them forward to sept last year, it’s started with headaches and dizzyness (I thought I had vertigo) went to the dr they arranged for an ECG monitor and a MRI all came back fine. A few weeks later I started to feel like I had a rock sitting just under my left rib I was having palpitations short of breathe dizzyness but my headaches had lifted, I also started experiencing shooting pains all through my body then the weirdest thing started happening I started to have these shocks to my chest and they make feel like I was going to pass out back to the dr I went. I had bloods done a x ray on my chest and back, a camera in my stomach all of which came back fine. I convinced myself I had a blood clot from my c section that had moved and was causing me all these problems I had the dimer test done 3 times...all negative. I am now on Mirtrazapine and I’m still having these ‘funny turns’ I call them where I feel like I’m about to pass out and die it’s such an awful feeling and they happen quite a lot throughout the day they also happen a lot when I’m asleep and I bolt upright and need to catch my breath it really freaks me out that can happen 5 times a night??? The dr thinks it’s all anxiety?? Can it be?? The mirtrazapine seems to be giving me muscle and nerve pain and it’s made my pain in my right leg horrendous so I’m still convincing myself I have a blood clot?? I just don’t know what to do to help myself?? Im having some councilling as I lost my dad to cancer the year before my baby was born and because I was pregnant so soon after I didn’t really grieve and also my pregnancy was very stressful. Can anyone help or relate to my symptoms as they are awful and really scare me as they happen when I’m not even feeling anxious? Please help! Thanks and sorry it’s such a long message😔
Sazzle21 my own started like that 2 and a half yours now I give birth to my son c section after 2 months i start get all kind of symptoms panic attacks weirdness in my heart feel like I'm going to die it's all anxiety but I just have to take one day at a time.
Thanks for replying Jennifer I’m sorry to hear you are experiencing this to. Did you have the same experience with your c section the pain down the leg? My symptoms are horrible and really scare me on a daily basis 😔 I don’t know if I’m coming or going 😭
Every single thing u describe i can relate to.
Iv got a little girl coming up to 2. I have had anxiety for about 10 years and it is often health anxiety. I sailed through my pregnancy then had my baby and everything was perfect i then went back to work and had a ‘funny turn’ in work i went all dizzy and felt like i was gunna pass out or have a fit or something.
I then started experiencing really bad anxiety and went off sick this then led to awful depression i would sob all day every day i had loads of fears of hurting myself or the baby it was honestly hell. Eventually because i knew i couldn't look after my baby like this i went onto fluoxetine but only 10mg. The depression subsided but i started having the ‘funny turns’ u describe during the night i would wake up jolt uprifht in a massive panic and feel like i was about to have a heart attack i would also feel like i could t swallow and ga e awful palpitations. Its stopped happening as often during the night now but all i do is woery about my heart and check my pulse and stuff. Ifeel like the heart problema bring on the anxiety and not the other way around but i have had a 24hr ecg which was clear but i wisg the drs would do more tests xxx
Wow you really have been going through it to 😔 it’s good to know your not the only one but it sad at the same time that we are experiencing these horrendous symptoms. I’m struggling to come to terms with it being anxiety I think once I accept it it will get easier. If your not happy then go back to your dr and demand more tests as they need to help you and put your mind at rest. To be fair my dr had been great and really supportive I’m lucky to have him. Xx
I feel the same way I is be so scare but I try my best to think positive
Donot dont dont worryyyyyy. Its anxiety. Why are you not satisified even your mri is normal and all tests are normal. Plz think possitive. Heart is very strong organ. My sister in law has leg pain like you after give birth first baby. She treated by many drs. But dont became well. How many babies you have? And whatbis your age? My sister pain goes when she give birth to second baby. You try this......... get well soon.
I know your right I need to be positive but when I have these funny turns it’s scares the hell out of me and I started thinking somethings wrong all over again 😭. I’m trying to be positive I really am 👍🏻
You please try to change your life style. I am also facing all these problems from 4 year. But as for i think the best treatment for anxiety is to keep your self busy and talk to friends. As much you have good friend you become normal. So make new friend. I m with you. If you meed my help i m always there. Thanks stay blessed
Hi Hun just reading through your post, Iv suffered severe anxiety for over 6 months. Had lots of bloods done all came back fine. Iv recently found out that being deficient in vitamin d also b12 can cause slot of the symptoms just had my tests done so hopefully will find out by next week. Maybe go back to the doctors and ask for vitamin d test aswell as b12. It could well
Be some of your problems. I also get weakness in my arm, fingers and wrist hurt, pulpatations, bone pain, along with lots more symptoms. I had to pay private for my vitamin d test as doctor wouldn't do it as they say it's to expensive. Hope you feel better soon.
