I've been on holiday with my friend in Miami since Friday and we go to Las Vegas on Wednesday. I want to enjoy my holiday but I can't shake off these feelings that I'm getting in the left side of my chest by my heart and my left arm going numb. I'm
Only a 24 year old girl can there really be something wrong with my heart? I feel like a heart attack is going to happen any day. I've had two ECGS one on January and one in April and both we're fine but I just still can't get rid of this. I'm trying to enjoy myself but I have this feeling constantly and my friend doesn't really understand. If anything I just want to go home. I wasted a day today by taking my fdiazepams which made me sleep all day and I've woken up feeling the exact same and I want to take another but know I shouldn't. Please help me someone I need some reassurance I'm so scared and feel I have no one to talk to
Hi huni don't worry this is anxiety the reason ur getting chest pains is because your not relaxed and anxiesh for some reason anxiety does give you a numb arm if you have been checked out at the dr they would of spotted that there was something wrong with your heart so relax and enjoy your holiday which sounds amazing I'm so jel also don't take the crap the drs give u I got rid of my anxiety through exercise the medication off drs is rubbish and will make u worse m
So sorry you are struggling! Perhaps you are homesick? I was homesick on my honeymoon (: in a foreign country, so it can happen to anyone at any time and age! Did you feel secure as a child if you were away from home?
I'm really trying not to take the diazepam but I just feel I need it whilst I'm away from home. If I've had two ECGS does that show up everything? It's so annoying because I am doing things and getting on it with it but the feeling just isn't going away even when I'm occupied doing other stuff. Nothing seems to be helping me I've been doing hypnotherapy which has been helping a bit but a few days later I just feel the same again. It's starting to ruin my life and I feel like my hearts just going to stop whilst I'm on holiday x
When I was on the lorazepam my body became chemically dependent and when I wasn't taking the meds the anxiety was so much worse. I had to go a couple of weeks without it before I started feeling better. I would take it while on holiday and then try to go a while without when you get home. Try to enjoy yourself wish I were there!
Yeah I used to not want to go away from home when I was little but I've been over that for ages. I've worked away from home for the summers and stuff it's just because of my anxiety and panic attacks id rather be at home. I really feel like my hearts just going to stop or something's going to happen and I'll die.
I am sorry you are not enjoying your holiday I know how frustrating it can be. It rules my life and I hate it. The feelings are always in my chest as well.
Do you feel like your heart hurts and you could have a heart attack? I hate that it's on the left side around my heart and I try to think to myself if this pain was on the right side I wouldn't be so worried
I don't know why I can't convince myself that nothing is wrong with me. I'm just waiting for something to happen and I say to myself I've felt like this hundreds of times and nothing has happened but it's like it's stronger every time
I can't convince myself either and this has been going on for a year. I make my chest muscles sore from pressing on it and keeping it so tense. It's really debilitating. I have breathing apps on my phone meditation music, I try everything. And I talk to my dr over and over. Still my mind wins everytime. I guess the only thing that makes it a bit better is what would stop it if we were going to have a heart attack? We wouldn't just lay here and wait right? It would happen with or without us worrying.
That's what I say I know it sounds ridiculous but it's like torture waiting for something that's not gonna happen it's almost like you need a heart attack. I just felt the feeling so strong in the left of my chest and I nearly freaked out in the restaurant..what is that feeling though why is it so intense?
I wish I knew it's so real to me I've went to the hospital 3 times just knowing it was the big one yet it turns out nothing. Hard to convince myself nothing is there bc it feels very real to me. Tonight is no good for me either it won't let me sleep! I swear I feel something there!
Do you mind me asking how old are you are? Do you genuinely think something is wrong wih you? Coz I find it hard to believe I can feel like this and nothing be wrong with me..even though nothing happens to me ever!
I'm 37 just started having this feeling a year ago. I don't know if something is wrong with me I've had lots of tests that said I was fine. I am now convinced that my mind is very very sick which is a horrid thing bc I too have a hard time believing nothing is wrong with my heart. Hearing others have the same problem makes me feel less insane but I still struggle with this daily.
Mimi,That is just how I feel too although I am much older than you.I have had those symptoms too and they just set off the entirety more,especially when there us no one around to understand.I am trying to pluck up the courage to g away in the next ten days ,but worry all the time that dome thing dreadful will happen to me health wise especially as I will be travelling alone.The anxiety definately gets the better of me,and I usually backi
