So about 4 weeks ago I started to notice some chest pain/pressure. I went a full week just trying to ignore it then I finally decided to Google what it might be. The first thing I saw was that I could be having a heart attack, keep in mind I am a 21 year old female. Anyways that night I had the worst panic attack of my life breathing really heavy feeling trapped and like I was going to die. Then that next week I was unable to eat anything. Food smelled super gross and every time I tried to eat I felt like I wanted to vomit. I was able to eat a few spoon fulls of apple sauce but ended up losing about 10 pounds. During that week I had also gained more physical symptoms like my left cheek started to get really tinglingly, and numb feeling. I also started to feel different parts of my head to randomly start hurts and sometimes it even felt like a burning sensation. My hands we always clammy and I avoided talking with many people because I didn't want them to say anything that was going to trigger another panic attack. Then that weekend I was able to eat again. Ate quit a bit actually but still was having small panic attacks constantly trying to distract my mind from my symptoms. This last week I started to feel pain in my lower abdomen intestinal area like I could almost feel my self digest something. But it comes and goes and seems to change where the pain is coming from. I also wake up very nauseous and sudden shoulder cramps. Honestly it's hard to keep up with all the physical symptoms. Has anyone else felt this severe of symptoms from anxiety. I have been anxious almost all day everyday. And my symptoms come and go pretty frequently but I am always feeling some sort of symptom.
YES RIGHT NOW, Felt chest pains, went on Google, when full our research and my whole body hurts! Literally everything, it was very hard to breathe and my neck and back felt like I was hit by a car. I can assure that you are fine!
Thank you. I was more worried about my abdominal pain but it seems to come in waves which leads me to believe that it really is just anxiety. How are you coping?
I'm a lot better now but I'm not fully convinced I don't have a heart problem which is weird because I'm 15. My chest pain comes on occasionally and my shoulders hurt, accompanied by jaw and neck pain. I've had an EKG and a chest x-ray which came up to be fine, nothing was wrong. I'm having doubts but overall I'm faring fine, I never have a full blown panic attack but it's just occasional pains that come and go. Usually when I think about it. It's a hard fight, and I really shouldn't have searched up symptoms. It caused this hell, I could have been doing better things without worrying that I might die. At 15.
All these symptoms started about 2 weeks ago. I'm just scared I might die.
