so a couple of months ago i started feeling dizzy and i coulndnt breath well sometimes...i started going to doctors and they told me that its probably anxiety cz I'm giving my final exams this year and they will determine my future life (if i pass or not to a college i love in greece btw).....i thought it might be that but after a moth or two symptoms started to get worse....i sometimes had too many problems breathing and my chest hurt a lot and i felt dizzy and also threw up sometimes so i went to the hospital did some heart check ups (triplex and a running test) and a chest xray and some blood check ups.....they didnt find anything.....eventually this week i feel terrible...im beggining to not wanting to leave my house in case something like that happens to me and those....panic attacks happen all the time and the last two days my head also hurts and i cant consentrate at anything...something to bad cuz i have to study ...and my chest hurts a lot and my breathing problems became horse....any suggestions?
If you have been checked out by the doctor and its anxiety you have.
Then a good diet keeping hydrated exercise and medication all help.
Other options are medication and therapy
Stay Strong
I get that way alot...I can't breathe and my chest aches...maybe try some valium..it helps
i dont know if there is anything else i could check....and what are the effects of those medications
but does valium make you feel good or makes you some kind of....druged and relaxed cz i dont want to feel like that either
Its no use just throwing pills at the problem,yes some medication can help.but you have to get to the root of the problem and train your brain to deal with it
Medication reacts differently with everyone.
Anti depressants can help but you have to get to the root of the problem
and help your self.
With all drugs there are side effects
so what should i do i cant stand it
I'm not just suggestion throwing pills.but sometimes we all need a bit of relief from the symptoms. Nothing wrong with that is there?
Alex I take a low dose of murelax..no it doesn't make me drowsy or anything. The only thing it does is gives me a bit of relief from my anxiety for a while.have you read the book dare? I've recently purchased this book and am about to read it
Are you in the uk?
i haven't read this book...do you think iy would help?...look im 18 years old and i dont want to start taking pills because of anxiety i really want to find a way to get better but it seems that im only getting worse
no i live in greece ....i know its a country with a great weather for someone to have anxiery....but im also giving my final-college entering exams this May so that might be the cause of my anxiety
Sorry I dont agree
Alex obviously has servere anxiety and yes some AD's help for a short time but its like puting a sticking plaster over it and not dealing with the problem
Therapy get to know why your anxious and how to train your brain to deal with it
Im on AD's but I also have severe depression along with the anxiety Im not against AD's but you have to get to the bottom of it and also want to help yourself
Take Care
but its too difficult for me... sometimes i start to think that it cant be anxiety because my symptoms hurt a lot physicaly....like very strong chest pains .....i dont know i need help and doctors cant help me
I dont know how your health service runs over there but we have to get out doctor to refer us to mental health servies.
This gets you a psychiatrist and access to therapy.
There is also online therapy.
But I think you first have to get your medication sorted that will ease things for a short while
Take care
I've had anxiety panic attacks for 20 years...I was taking medication antidepressants for 16 years.ive come of them 3 weeks ago and I'm going through hell.im not suggesting to Alex he take drugs all the time.it really doesn't matter if you agree or not.sometimes
Living with anxiety, panic attacks our mind and body sais to us I've had enough.all I'm saying is if you can get some relief for just a little while,it helps us to think clearer.i agree drugs suck and there are other options. I for one know what drugs do.ive stopped the antidepressants but at the moment I still need something to calm me
You need someone to help you with psycological problems.
Your fight of flight switch in you brain is broken,your brain is telling you you are in danger when you are not.
These chest pains are psychpsimatic they are not real they are all in your head.(imaginary)
You need a doctor who deals with anxiety which is a psychiatrist and you need to teach your brain how to cope with these problem thats where therapy comes in
