hi guys- I know I need to stop posting about the same thing but I really need someone who can talk to me and reassure me...
I’ve had bad anxiety for the last couple of months- it sent me into a psychiatric hospital because i was 1000% sure I had a brain tumor, and no one could convince me otherwise.
In February of this year, I was admitted into the hospital after having my first panic attack, because I was sure I was having a heart attack.
Anyway, it’s gotten a lot better, except for the fact that EVERYDAY I suffer from symptoms of anxiety, and they change almost EVERY week. My most recent symptom, or which I really hope is just a symptom, is chest pain. Again, in February, which was four months ago, I had many tests ran on my heart, all came back normal. And a few weeks ago, I had multiple blood tests done, all which came back normal. What’s really bothering me is the chest pains I’m having now. Sometimes they’re sharp, sometimes they’re burning, sometimes it’s dull. They come and go throughout the day, and go away completely when I stop thinking about them, which is extremely hard to do. I go to the cardiologist every year, always been normal. Sometimes I get random pains in different parts of my body, i don’t know if it’s because I’ve been reading too much and worrying myself, or if they’re real. Someone help!!!! I’ve been checked multiple times, but I don’t know if I should worry now!!! I don’t drink, smoke, and I’m only 15 y/o.
I don’t wake up with the pains, they only happen when I think about them, but I cannot stop thinking about them. And the more I think about them, the worse they are and the more I feel it all over my body. Sometimes it’s in my stomach, sometimes in my back, arm, or leg. The last time I had my heart checked was in February, and I don’t go again until October. Someone please reassure me it’s just anxiety!!
Trust me it’s anxiety. I’m 19 and I’ve gone through it since I was 14. Always thinking something’s ering with me and every time doctors reassured me it’s anxiety. I’ve had all sorts of symptoms : shortness of breath, chest pains , arm pain, tingling , lightheadedness etc. And bc it’s scary you feel like something is really wrong with you even though there’s nothing wrong and it’s in your head. For the Pat two weeks I’ve had daily lightheadedness and it yes worse when I go shopping , I almost felt like I’d pass out today. If you want more reassurance talk to me, message me
thank you so much. It’s so hard to just accept that it’s anxiety. Every time I feel something nene, I automatically assume it’s another illness.
Chest pains are normal for anexity it hurts like crazy
Hi Shelby first of do not ever apologise for posting the same things all the time. With anxiety we all need reassurance to a point and sometimes we need it over and over. Well I know I do. I have chest pains too and I worry but I have had a stress test and scans and a calcium test and so far so good all came back normal. I was reassured but its still in the back of my mind that my heart is not right. I get sharp pain in the side near my heart and it hurts to take a breath then i goes away. I get pains in the middle of my chest as well at times and it does worry me. There are so many symptoms of anxiety. Some even weird and hard to explain. I get many that are with me 24/7. My anxiety started when I was 11 and I have just had to learn to live with it. Pain is a part of anxiety. I have to distract myself and it helps to a degree.
Hey there,
RELAX first . A lot of people are going through the same thing including myself. Don’t fall into the vicious cycle of panic attacks . I can reassure you that it is just anxiety and is curable . Have you seen a psychiatrist?
Yes, I’ve seen a psychiatrist and I was prescribed meds for depression and something to calm me down when I have anxiety attacks. My antidepressant helps my depression, but I still have anxious thoughts every day. My anxiety HAS gotten better though. But, I have anxiety symptoms EVERYDAY no matter how calm or anxious I am. And they change every week. Last week it was twitching and headaches and my arms would go weak. This week, it’s chest pain... at least I am praying it’s only a symptom and will go away soon.
