Eu literalmente sinto que vou morrer

Hi everyone.I hope you have some spare time to read my whole story and share your thoughts on it.

2016 has been such a horrible year to me. My mum has been diagnosed with some abnormal changes in her cervix. For almost a year she was having all these test and treatments done, and I was always there for her. Then in September, my grandad has committed a suicide. By the end of 2016, my mum was told that she's okay and that those abnormal changes would probably never develop into a cancer. My grief has also seemed to be going aways as I have accepted the fact that my grandad is gone.

And thats when I had my first panick attack. I was just on a train, going home from uni. First I felt pins & needles at the back of my head, I couldn't breathe and my heart was pounding. I literally felt like I was going to die. Luckily, it went away in a few minutes. As it passed away, I googled it and understood it was a panick attack. After it went away, I felt fine and I even forgot it has happened.

Until the 1st January,2017. I was just laying in bed watching films all day when the feeling came back again. My heart was pounding, head and body felt weird. It lasted for over 3 hours and I got really worried so I've asked my dad to take me to the hospital. They did like 3 ECG, because they didn't like the first one for some reason. I also had a chest x-ray, blood and urine tests done. All came back normal, except the fact that they found an infection and assumed I had a urine infection. Gave me antibiotics and sent me home. For another 10 days I could not function. My heart was pounding, I was shivering, feeling fainty and had a blurry vision and sweaty hands. Went back to my GP, they did another blood test but just assumed it was anxiety. My blood test have shown that I have a really bad vitamin d deficiency, but exept of that everything was normal.

Ever since then, I'm not feeling great. I would have some better days, but for the majority of the time I feel weak and fainty, I get shooting pains all over my body including my head and neck which is really scary. I get chest pains, burning sensations, back pains, pressure in different parts of my head. My heart pounds and I also sometimes feel like my left hand and leg are going week or numb. Sometimes my head feels so heavy that I feel like it'll literally start spinning.

I really don't know what's the matter with me as I don't feel anxious or depressed but these symptoms are making me panick a lot. They're making me think that I'm having a heart attack or a stroke. It's been two months now, I take prescribed vitamin D and I'm having a 24hr ECG next week.

Any thoughts on my story? Maybe anyone else could relate and comfort me? Xx

Hi Amber I am going through exactly the same as u. Im waiting fir a 24hr ecg also just to make sure everything is ok. I have and still having all these symptoms. Very scary, I always think theres something more to it than anxiety but my doctor is pretty sure it is anxiety and depression. Ive started on antidepressants 6 days ago and have to have therapy in the nest few week. My daughter has been in and out of hospital over the past 19 month with lumps on her neck the doctors said they think its nothing to worry about. But the stress off it all has probably effected me more than I think. Same with u and ur mum. We will get better.

Ei, parece que você passou por um momento difícil em 2016 que se acumulou e fez você ter um ataque de pânico. 2016 foi na verdade um dos piores anos, foi quando tive um grande colapso que mudou minha vida inteira e, é claro, experimentei todos os sintomas de ansiedade desde então.

Agora, sou como você, nem me sinto ansioso e ainda tenho sintomas que me assustam! Recentemente, venho tendo todo tipo de sensações/dores na cabeça, você nomeia e eu já tive, me sinto tonto e zonzo e instável e como se fosse desmaiar a qualquer momento e sem energia às vezes, mesmo indo à academia e tal.

A ansiedade esgota o corpo, você pode estar ansioso inconscientemente e não saber e até mesmo esse estresse que se acumulou dentro de você durante 2016. As pessoas precisam de coisas que as ajudem a se livrar do estresse diário e tal.

No seu caso, parece que sua deficiência de vitamina pode ter desencadeado isso também, pois isso também é comum. Continue tomando sua vitamina D e veja como fica, as deficiências causam tontura e todos os sintomas que você mencionou. Boa sorte e nos mantenha atualizados!

Não sei o que você está planejando se tornar quando for mais velho, mas você seria um ótimo terapeuta um dia. Parece uma pessoa muito inteligente e muito consciente, não quis interromper sua discussão, mas você é incrivelmente perspicaz para sua idade. É adorável.

Eu realmente gosto de psicologia e estou muito interessado em como nossa mente funciona, é incrível e assustador ao mesmo tempo. Na verdade, eu queria me envolver com psiquiatria junto com neurociência, mas eh as coisas não deram certo, foi quando a ansiedade entrou e estragou tudo. 

Eu gosto do que estou estudando atualmente, mas não acho que seja para mim, eventualmente farei o que deve ser feito, não quero pensar no futuro ainda, pois não preciso de mais ansiedade haha.

Muito obrigado, no entanto, estar aqui e ajudar o máximo que posso me faz sentir melhor também. Você está sendo muito útil aqui também e muito informativo!

Maybe you can help me with my problem. So it all started when I was at work and I had a small head injury at work. I didn't go to the hospital until about a week after when I was working and I started feeling dizzy while climbing up a ladder. Need less to say, I never get dizzy, so I knew right away somethings as different. Well I went to the hospital on January 17th. They did blood work and they took an c.t scan on my head. Apparently everything came back normal. So they gave me morphine and sent me home with caffeine pills. I took as directed for my head and it started making my heart go fast so I stopped taking it. I bought Excedrin migraine pills because I heard that work like a charm. I took as directed, two at night, two in the morning. Well that day I felt like my heart wanted to explode and I was going to pass out. I don't know, every since then I've been having have a little dizziness, feeling like I'm going to faint, headaches now and then. It's almost an everyday thing. Like it's never going to end! I am so tired of it, it riduculou! I've been to the doctor and he did an EKG on my heart and said it was fine. I had that twice done. All the doctor could think was anxiety and that hypoglycemia was the reason I've been so dizzy. I don't feel like he's right because he hasn't even did blood work on me. I'm only 22 years old. I am married and I have a son. I keep relying on doctors. I don't know what else to do. Someone help!!!
