Hi, I am new to actually suffering from anxiety, after a heart scare I developed health anxiety in every little defect on my body, which has in turn led to so many physical symptoms.
My heart with raise and race/flutter from getting up and moving, and it has effected my life completely.
My physical symptoms consist of chest pain, headaches, severe fatigue, muscle tension, palpitations, dizziness, and a lot more
I was wondering what people's thoughts are on anxiety related medication. I am currently doing cbt, but find getting up and going a big challenge, never mind paying full attention. How does one manage to go out with friends and have a drink while suffering so badly with anxiety? Is medication the way to go? I am going on holiday with friends at the beginning of July and was wondering what your thoughts are to trying to be ready for it. I have lost my job through anxiety, as it has become so controlling.
If its bad enough to lose your job,try an anxiety med.
Hi DTH
It sounds like you have anxiety as do I.
I wake every hours with night tremors I wake I'm the morning with all I can say it's a inner shake all my body and the outside my palms sweat it bolt for the door before I've woke it happens so quick I at the door!!
Id say please go to your Doctor, you recognise you are not feeling well.
I do have medication a beta blocker it slows my heart rate down. I know I'm on a lot 160mg of sustained release that burst out 40mg over her day 4 times I also have 40mg if I need it quick acting.
It's a high dose as I said.
Once I've taken the 160mg one about 25 mins later my heart rate goes down. My heart stops racing.
I can think a bit straighter and the inner shake goes my hands still sweaty a little but not as much.
We are not all the same
If you have low blood pressure they have to consider that as most medicine for Anixiety lower your blood pressure.
I have to say they've helped me.I can get up and at least know what I'm doing.
Good luck on what ever you decide to do.
Take care
