I've been having bad anxiety for a few months now, I was diagnosed with migraine associated vertigo I've had it for 14 months. It causes dizziness of some kind everyday. I have rocking, leaning, falling and bobbing sensations with it, it also causes anxiety and since it started I've had worsening anxiety. I already had GAD and health anxiety. Thus dizziness scares me because I keep thinking it's something much worse like some disease they have missed. I am afraid of disease. But wondering do you ever tho that having anxiety and stress everuday will cause heart attack? Do you have an anxiety attack and feel it in your chest for hours after the attack? Do you have amtiocapatory anxiety about going out. Does this sound normal for anxiety? Do you ever just feel scared for mo apparent reason? Thanks for any help
Hiya yes I do I do wonder that as they say stress in bad for the body but then what isn't,,,I bet quite a lot of people on this site have had anxiety and panick attacks for years and years and they haven't had a heart attack look how common it is and then look how many people have had heart attacks from it that's how I look at it try and not worry I kno its easier said than done but the more you worry and stress about it the more you will think of it
Were you out on meds for this?? If so, what medication were you given and did it go away ?
I have been prescribed meds but I would rather not take them in scared lol but doesn't mean you crnt everybody is different I just prefer to go down the therapy route I have started CBT therapy so I'm hoping that helps
Spoken like a true person with health anxiety 🤗. I say that with humor and love. Use the cbt techniques on this thought. And predicting the future using an anxious state of mind can never oan out well. Hooefully you will forge thru all this and get it managed and that wint be a real issue.
Anxiety will not damage your heart ! Yes Anxiety will give you many scary thoughts!! It's chemicals in your body from fear , one is Adrenaline ! Tingles , dizzy etc etc .. Goes on and on. Have you had a physical? If you have then believe your Dr. You will only cause more anxiety Dr hopping. If you have not had a physical get one. That's more to relieve your mind . Keep talking and start putting positive thoughts in your head when a negative pops in your head. Breath!! Anxiety will not kill you. I have suffered with it for 43 years! I am still here👌🌹
Oh and yes I thought I was having a heart atack at 19.. I should be dead as many fatal diseases I thought I had!!
I tried anti depressants a few years ago, but had bad reactions to them and really don't want to take them again. I do have xanax which I take when I really need it. Its better after the xanax, but its the dizziness that comes out of nowhere from the migrain associated vertigo that makes me really anxious.
