First of all; I'm 19 years old and I so not suffer from any disease and take no medication.
About three months ago I started getting heart palpitations, breathlessness and chest pain - especially when I was about to sleep.
Now, I've still got those symptoms once in a while, but these last couple of weeks I've been dealing a lot more with a stiff neck, headaches, dizziness to the point of feeling like I'm going to faint, nausea, pain in my left underarm, ear pain and tightness of my face/tingling feelings in general around my body and random twitches.
Some times my head also feel a tender to touch.
I've once made an emergency call because I suddenly felt dizzy, couldn't breathe right, felt like my cheat was on fire and my face and hands went numb.
Now today and two days ago I had sudden dizzy attacks where I just had to lie down because I feared tipping over.
I've visited my doctor thrice, gotten blood tests, heart scans and worn a heart monitor for a couple of days.
None of it shows anything unusual.
Is it anxiety?
I xinaranrlt dear I'll faint in public, I hate being alone and I fear dying.
I really just want to get Anders and get through this.
This is exactly how I felt when I first realised I had health anxiety. I had an extremely stressful year in a job i hated and then had my first panic attack which sounds exactly as you described with heart palpitations and feeling dizzy.
As you've had tests done, it really does sound like health anxiety and I'm so sorry you're going through this as it really does suck I seeked help from my GP and am on 10mg of Citalopram and the attacks and awful not being able to breathe feelings have become less and less. I am also waiting for a counselling appointment. Are you seeking help for anxiety?
I would also recommend breathing exercises and meditations for anxiety on YouTube. I have found them so helpful when I'm feeling particularly bad. Things like doing more exercise and eating better have also helped me. I tend to go for walks.
I'm here if you need a chat there's so much good advice on this forum also. Let me know how you are x
I've also found it useful to write in a journal, it has helped me recognise some triggers to my panic. It doesn't always identify them, sometimes I still feel 'normal' then all of a sudden I feel panicky and I can't put my finger on why. But sometimes I find I write similar things and it occurs to me that it is a trigger. Journeys on my own is one, I panic because if I'm driving on my own that no one is there to help me. Now I've recognised it I can try and rationalise it in my own head if that makes any sense at all!
It was difficult to start writing a journal but it has definitely helped me
