I have been having very strange problem since 5 years...Please Help.

Its been more than 5 years that i am having this problem. The problem is that I feel like some thread like thing is wrapping me around my body. This thread like thing wont stop, its intensity increases whenever i get poor sleep. I feel difficulty in doing things and whatever i do the thread binds my body and my heartbeat increases. 

When I showed a mental health doctor (when this problem first occurred about 5 years ago), he told me its anxiety disorder. The medicines he gave me was Epitril and Venlift. These medicines at first helped me drastically reduce the problem but was not completely eliminated. After a week i went for followup and he gave me Clofranil and epitril. I took clofranil for a week but it did not help me improve but rather it caused side effects. And at that time, I was unwilling to accept that I have a mental problem. I have not gone to the doctor after that. I think my problem is very strange. I often have sleep problems and I take Triplin sometimes to reduce sleep disorder.

My logic and understanding capabilities have drastically reduced. It affects in my day to day activities like driving and all. This thread like thing never leaves me. I sometimes remember of the movie "A beautiful Mind" and feel I have similar problems. But I dont actually see threads, I just feel them moving around me and wrapping me.

Sorry you feel this way. Maybe you should do a reassessment of your meds and tell your doctor what's going on. 5 years is a very long time to be feeling that way. It could be anxiety but it could also be a number of other things. So it's important to tell the doctor the sensations you are feeling. 

Sorry you've been suffering so long.  The "thread like thing" could be muscular spasms caused by anxiety.  Sometimes I feel as tho I can't breath -- like my chest cavity is being squeezed or I'll feel like I can feel the blood flowing thru my veins. 

I saw the doc, he gave me script for xanax, the chest tightness went away along with a lot of the anxiety over it. Worrying about a physical feeling of discomfort can cause a huge increase in anxiety.  The feeling of blood flowing thru my veins is actually a spine problem without pain.  Weird but at least I know what it is now.

See the doc again.  No need for you to suffer like this for so long.

Good luck and know that I send you my best wishes.
