I've been stressing out for about 2 months about my health thinking there is something wrong with me all the time. My anxiety has been really bad this week and I've had chest and back pains felt sick, lost my appetite and feeling stressed. Just now I was lying on my bed over thinking everything and all of a sudden I thought I couldn't breath and quickly jumped up and started panicking and trying to catch my breath. I then just fell to the floor and broke down in tears. I don't know if there is something wrong with me or if it's anxiety. When I'm out I get a really fuzzy head and can't focus my eyes but this week I feel like I'm concentrating on my breathing and always thinking I'm having a heart attack or something. I just want to feel like my normal self again. Does anyone else feel like this ??? X
Definitely sounds like a panic attack Hun. When I had my first ever one I'd been through a bad time. I'd gone to bed as normal was drifting off then out of nowhere jumped out bed started pacing around felt like my heart was racing and I couldn't breathe and like I was going to have a heart attack And broke down in tears. Try sitting and taking some deep breaths. I still get these feelings a lot unfortunately. Just try to relax and definitely talk to people as I find getting all your thoughts and feelings out help xx
Thank you will definitely take your advice and start talking to someone xx
I have been goin through the same recently. Ive been here before but my brain always says panic panic . Try to remember its temp and it will pass deep breathing happy thoughts i sit up and watch t v to focus
Hi Molly I agree with Kelly you need to do some breathing excercises and try a nice hot bath maybe put some music on or go for a walk to to your family and friends iyor conversation doesn't need to be about anxiety and eat something you say you have lost your appetite try and have some hot milk
hope you feel better soon
Thank you xx
I'm so sorry that you're going through this and I know how you feel. I suffered from anxiety attacks since December 2013. I was going through some old papers and all of a sudden my heart started racing and I couldn't catch my breath and all I kept thinking was something is wrong with me am I going to die? Then in the last 5/6 months I started having these health anxiety attacks every other month then every other week then every other day and within the past 2/3 months I was having them everyday along with chest pains! I was miserable, I had gone to the hospital in November 2014 and they told me since I'm only 27 I'm yoo young to be having any heart problems or anything I had an ekg done and a chest xray and a ct scan of my head because they probably thought I was nuts abd everything came back fine the doctors gave me a script for zanax and sent me on my way. I woke up on the morning of Friday, January 2nd, 2015 with pain in my ribs on my right side all the way up to my chest even in my neck and it felt like I broke my ribs it hurt to take in breaths. I knew I had to go to work so I did, came home, went to my in laws later, came back home, in pain the entire time so I figured I must just need some rest and went to sleep. I woke up the next morning Sat., 1.3.15 at 530am in excruciating pain! I was sipping air, taking the smallest breaths possible and it was unbearably painful. I got some clothes on and drove myself to a different hospital than I had back in Nov. I went to the ER told the doctor my symptoms he ran some test which included a dye injection CT Scan. He came back with the results and said that I have blood clots in both lungs or Pulmonary Embolisms and my right lung was totally ecluded meaning full of blood clots causing an infarction in that lung because the clots had blocked blood flow to it. I was immediately started on a heparin drip which is a blood thinner and stayed in the hospital for 5 days being discharged with pain meds and lovenox injections which is another blood thinner and warfarin or coumadin pills which is yet another blood thinner to get my clotting levels up. Luckily I don't have to take the shots anymore because I'm therapeutic now after getting my blood tested weekly to check my levels. I'm saying all that to say this, don't just believe that you are having health anxiety attacks for no reason especially if it isn't a normal thing. Go to the doctor, or the ER and get checked out. The doctors told me that if I hadn't have come in when I did the situation could have been life threatening because from the looks of the CT Scan my blood clots have been there for a while and that PEs cause anxiety attacks. By the grace and mercy of God I'm still here with my family, my husband, my children and my friends. Listen to your body.
