Hi all, I have been suffering with crippling aniexty it seems to of come from nowhere and causing such bad chest pains I have been having daily panic attacks that I am having a heart attack. I have to young children and struggling to get through the day so started on citalopram but finding the side effects are making me worse. Has anyone had anything similar, help or advice to offer? I am struggling to excerise as the feelings of heart attack become stronger, breathing techniques seem to make me focusing more on the chest pain. I feel like I am going crazy! Thanks in advance
First of all you have no need to worry. Doctors are well educated. I m in similar condition last 4 years. 23 cardiologist checked me and they said anxiety. Do you smoke? Anxiety kills our life. People want they have to suidide.
I dont believe on doctors i say i have heart problem but i have to believe in dr. Because they saw hearts from inner side when they operation an open heart surgery. So as i read your story i guess i have all same conditions that you have now. You always has a fear of heart failure or heart attack. But nothing. Like you i have also unhealthy life style. I m 37 . My life is ruind.my english is not good so please dont mind. I think my life is finished. I did not marry. I cannot enjoy my life.
I understand your all problem. You believe nobody understanding you. You are true. But i understand your all problem. Your mind lose constration and confidence. Day by day its going too bad. You feel weakness in brain.
What your family members are doing? Are they understand you?
So now come towards solution. You need a possitive thinking. Do you have friends? I guess when you meet to your friends your first periorty to discuss problem. This is not good. You have to be brave. Here every one can only tell you his story. But nobody stand with you. I think your are from west. But distance does not matters. Actually anxeity takes long time to go. And sleeping mind pills are not effected. Its feel like we drunk. We cannot take serious and enjoy our life. You need people who talk with you and encourage you. Coperate you. I m far from you but i can help you if you agree. Because i face anxiety and pain attacks. Thanks and smile. Stay blessed.
