I went to ER with shortness of breath. They did ekg, chest x ray, and a CT of chest all came back normal. I'm constantly thinking there is more wrong with me. I wake up and I feel sick to my stomach and feel like I can't breath, it gets to the point to were I vomit. I had a really bad panic attack a month ago to where I thought I was having a heart attack. My chest hurt, I could barley breath, my legs and arms where tingly, pale face, and I couldn't concentrate, and had dizziness. Ever since then I've had tightness in chest and sick to stomach and dizzy almost everyday. I've been so scared it's going to happen again. I have an appointment with my doctor. When it happens my heart rate goes up really high. I have an appointment with my doctor. I barley have an appetite. What can I do to help with the anxiety? I fear that everything is wrong with me, and I google everything so it makes it worse.
Thanks for reading!
I went through a lot of the same stuff. Mine started with chest pain, but I also had, back pain, arm pain, heart palpitations (flutters, beats that were too hard, feeling like beats were skipped), chest tightness, shortness of breath. I too Googled and it made it worse. I constantly though I was going to die.
What I found to be really helpful before I had the health insurance to see a doctor was to do some guided meditations. There are some really good ones on YouTube. I've heard breathing techniques work as well. I also got support from friends, family and the internet. Since seeing the doctor a couple weeks ago, my chest pains have gone from being constant to rarely. Just having a physical exam and blood tests did a lot to help me feel better. I was also put on lorazepam to start with. I'm sure once you have your appointment and speak with your doctor, it will help put your mind at ease and the doctor can make recommendations for you.
I hope you find relief soon!
I used to have this.. it was awful! I feel you! You just have to learn to let the thoughts go... I remember reading some great advice from another person.. it went something like this...
A brown table thought is equal to a thought that I have that I think I have an illness etc.. All carry the same Weight! It's our reaction that sparks the adrenaline to make us feel scared and get stuck in a vicouis circle. It's about letting the thought in and paying it no attention and respect. Allow it to pass through you mind and smile then carry on. I'm trying to learn to do this my self and I have a severe anixtey disorder at the moment. But remember with anxitey alot is habits we build up qnd can all be reversed. Anxiety is just an emotion after all. I hope that makes you feel a little better about things. We can all get through this :-)
I listened to this person, and now I'm ok. I'm not 100% but I'm just ok, and know I'll be okay in the future. You'll be okay as well. Learn to let the thoughts go. See them as what they are... thoughts. You "think" there's something wrong with you... let that go. If there's something wrong with you, will worrying help? It's out of your control. Let it go. It's hard, but we can learn. We just need the will power to do so.
Hello !! Listen u have to calm down and relax I deal with Anxiety but everyone deals with it different u have to relax and drink lot of water and tea .. u have to put your mind to think of positive things and take deep breaths ... I have had ekg and a test done to check my ateries to see if I had any blockage but everything was good.. I suggest u relax and just take it one day at a time I don’t take medication which they gave me because I don’t want anything making me worse ..
