lately anxiety had gotten worst does anyone have intense symptoms? what i feel is that im going to have a heart attack so my left arm gets heavy or numb and i start freaking out. it also starts to kinda slightly be uncomfortable on my arm. my mind races as to me having a heart attack. my neck gets stiff and my cheeks or jaw get stiff as well. my hands get sweaty. my shoulder blade becomes kinda tense my vision doesnt really get blurry but its moving fast as im in panic. i try to relax and calm myself and it works for a few seconds but then it comes back full throttle again. it last quite a while. then i lay face down on my bed and i relax and anxiety leaves but when i try to leave the house or drive it creeps up. my head keeps telling me its a heart attack. but its not. ive been thinking of heart attack since 2015 when anxiety started to happen. i went months being really bad worrying and fearing death. almost lost my job. that year it got bad i had to pull over on the side of the freeway because i had a panic attack so bad that i was hyperventalating and my fingers locked up and my faced locked up. i thought i was dying. ambulance had to come pick me up. doctors gave me ativan but all it did was put me to sleep. i dealt with it after and i did not want to take medication (prozac). My parents are big believers in god and my mom helped me a lot. I used to go to the emergency rooms 3-4 times a week and sit there for 6 hours waiting to be seen. My symptoms of anxiety were intense and very realistic. i would feel ( burning sensation on my left arm, fast breathing, i felt like things were not real, constant fear, terrified, shaking, muscle tension, lightheadedness, lump in throat, troble swallowing fearing i would choke, numbness, tingling, face stiffness) one moment i would forget about anxiety and then boom im back to feeling something and worrying i would die. the anxiety i get usually begins with me feeling something like a weird pain in my chest or pain in my arm or fast breathing etc. thats what makes it go a rabbit hole. Sometimes i would get anxiety non stop for weeks. One day i was in the emergency room waiting to be seen like always and i had called my mom. I told her how i felt and stuff. she will always tell me theres nothing wrong with you. The doctors have told you and i have told you and so has god. But i told her that i had these symptoms and maybe the doctors missed something. She said straight forward " do you believe in god or the doctors" i responded " i believe in god mom" she than said " walk out of there and whatever happens its the lords will, put your life in his hands and trust him" i said ok. i sat there and really that sink in my head and heart. I stood up & walked out with a prayer and said god i put my life in your hands. As i was walking out i felt this weight off my shoulders! as the days went the anxiety started to be less frequent and intense. in less 15 days i was worry/anxiety free! without taking meds! now i started getting it again because i believe god puts those in battle because he wants to use you. so anxiety has returned and it reminds me of 2015 again. its scary but this time i had the solution and its god. i had faith that day i walked out from the hospital and i will have faith again. Anxiety are demons that want to torment us. But we all have the answer to be free from anything bad. God has never left us. he just wants us to know him! have a relationship with him & be connected to him. i believe thats why god has helped me through this to help others see light instead of darkness. i am battling this again but not alone this time. God is with me..Always has...Always will. If any of you need help or want to talk im here.
i have all the symptoms that you mentioned. i pray a lot to God to beg him heal me & let me live a normal life again. i am still struggling. Going to see a psychiatrist next week to get some medications. i can’t go on living hell. I hope with the meds, yoga & meditation, i will recover soon. Are you on any medications or therapy?

hello irene.
no im not on any medications and never did take any from the start.
i battle it on my own and god.
in times of fear i read psalms. I say god is greater than anything. Believe me when i pray in my head anxiety dissapears.
if you deep down in your heart want to be free and have faith on god no matter the outcome, he will set you free. i trust him. thats why i put my faith in him.
theres times in the morning where i wake up with anxiety all day. but i never “die” so god reasures me.
