I have posted a few post before.i lost my job more then 2 years back and thats when everything started.now after more then 2years eventually i have a casual work again.but my anxiety is interfering with my everyday life.to scared to drive long distances that something will happen as i had panic attacks before while driving,scared to go to mall also had attacks there.even driving in town .will suddenly just start to feel that i cant swallow,heart beating fast,chest pain.some days i have constant chest pain for days or feeling lightheaded.all this things is getting to much for me.and since i just started working again i cant just take off and go and get help.what is a good anxiety medicine with not to many side effects.the feeling that you cant swallow,chest pain and fast heartbeat is the most scariest for me.because it is becoming more and more frequent now.
Hey, I'm sorry that you're going through this. Losing a job is never a pleasant thing, it messes up with your self esteem. You should've gotten help since this started, you don't deserve this. You can still work and go get help. And I'd advise you to do that. Don't let it build up too much.
Also, we are not doctors here, we don't get to tell you what medicine to take, it's not that simple. You have to go to a therapist and start psychotherapy. If your therapist feels the need to give you medication, then you see where to go from there. You have to know, those pills aren't magic. It can take up to a month for them to work and until then there are side effects and the anxiety worsens for a bit. And of course, only if they're right for you. Best of luck!
Im going thru the same for almost 2years&i know how hard it is. I also get chest pain,left shoulder pain dizziness or weakness. Also my bp is low around 10/6.im taking sertaline 75mg daily and metoprolol 12mg daily for the palpitations. I also got a lot of tests like ekg heart ultrasound, holter monitor,ct scan and nothing was found. I assume that your tests were good too?!
Thanks for replies,Just had bad couple hours.feeling i cant swallow,chest pains,getting hot then cold,yawning,fast heartbeat.feeling of dying,it is getting very bad now.
