As Scruffy said, sorry to hear about your mom. What you're experiencing probably has to do with stress and anxiety. When my grandmother passed away I had chest pains everyday throughout the day. After going through this for a couple of days I went to see the doctor who immediately wanted to put me on tranquilizers. When I insisted that I wouldn't take them he did an EKG and found out that I have a slight heart murmur - that combined with the stress was what was causing my chest pains. I was stressed out, not eating properly and generally just not taking care of myself as I normally would. After learning this I gave my body a little more TLC and in time the pains slowly went away. Give it some time. Talk to your friends and family about your grief and don't be ashamed to talk to a therapist if you need to.
hey, these things do occur with anxiety, it can make you feel terrifying things. a good step is if you are being told depression and anx, then treatment should be offered. either medication or therapy - whichever suits you best. myself i prefer therapy, others prefer medication, others both - but its really up to you which course you think suits you best
Hi, codyray18
So sorry to hear of your bereavement..it is so hard to deal with.
If you have had thorough medical checks with OK results then your symptoms seem to match those of acute anxiety. When you go for your appointment on Tuesday, let it all spill out.....you should be able to get help then. This forum/site does help, as so many people are suffering anxiety symptoms. Be brave!
It sounds as if (by the way you spelt "Mom" you are in the USA?
Best of luck!
Hi Cody, I really understand what you are going through! my son passed away several months ago after two years of fighting brain cancer.I was with him the whole time and took care of him.He was only 35 years old when he died.And since then i started suffering with some off the wall symptoms they said it was depression and anxiety.So i completly understand how scared you are.What i am going to tell you is not about pills and dr's and all that stuff.Its about spiritual healing in the form of Jesus
christ.You see,After my son died i had no one to turn to.I was so close to my son,So i asked Jesus to help me with the fear and loneliness and he has.My symptoms are getting better.I also take high quantities of supplements .B-complex and C,and E,plus a multi-vitamin mineral.Read the Bible and pray as soon as you start feeling fearfull.God does not give us a spirit of fear but of peace and joy and a sound mind.
