Hi all I am new to this and I'm in need of some guidance.
im dealing with quite a lot, today I feel like everything has hit me at once. My anxiety has been very bad for quite awhile. I stress sweat regularly and I experience nausea and sleep paralysis. Today was one of my worst episodes. I've had a tight chest ever since this is something new I am quite worried. Advice welcome I'm a 24 yo female
tightness in the chest is usually another anxiety symptom so I would not worry too much.

Sorry to hear your feeling panicky today Ashley,
just noticed your post, do you take anything when you feel as bad as this? X
only 4 hours?? well i have been there for more than 4 years lol dont worry u will survive and u will live untill u hate seeing ur face in mirror 
drink alot of water and take a deep breath! watch funny movie or go dance, girls love dance lol u will be ok
I am on Avanza 2x 30 mg at night but I ran out today unable to go to the chemist. I'm really trying to calm myself but it's very tight in my chest. Thankyou for your reply I appreciate it
Thank you for your reply Richard. It's 4 am my chest is still very tight especially left side I'm hoping it calms down soon so I can sleep.
This is quite normal after a panic/anxiety attack. I get it a lot for days on end. Hang on in there :-)
Not just a tight chest I'm constantly sweating I can't eat it's a number of things. It's new that the tight chest has lasted so long it's 4am here. Thanks for your advice
I haven't heard of Avenza, is that an SSRI? Xx
That's great to hear.. If u know what I mean. I was quite concerned even considering the hospital! Thankyou! wish u the best
It's horrible when you feel like that....especially in the wee small hours of the morning.
can you open a window and breathe in some fresh aír or just sit on your back step. X
Have you heard of Remeron or Mitrazon? That's the other brand names. I looked it up and I don't think it's an SSRI. It's probably terrible I don't know much about it. When my dr. Prescribed it I told him I don't want an anti depressant that makes me up but calms me download I've struggled with insomnia for quite awhile. Interested in any info u might have 
I meant down not download... Autocorrect
Yes Iv heard of them, anxiety and insomnia go hand in hand don't they.
dont worry about having to take something that helps you, I was like you and didn't like taking anything but life goes on and you have a life to lead....if you need something to help live it then so be it.
i used to be on Trazadone 50mg at night, helped with anxiety, low mood and insomnia xxx
I will do that now. It's interesting to see so many others that suffer but are still willing to help someone in need. Thanks for taking the time to msg me xx
No problem, yes it is amazing how many people suffer from it. I was taken aback.
You our know what I do when Im panicky and trying to sleep, snuggle up, shut my eyes and imagine myself on a beach, all on my own, very safe. Just sitting there and the water keeps touching my toes, Im at peace and zim happy and Im safe. Xxx
That sounds nice... So much has gone on lately that's it's hard to feel safe at all. But I need to make an effort to tackle this and not give in to it. Xx
Anxiety is actually an emotion just like hunger or thirst it's just telling you something, usually it's not feeling safe. When your hungry your tummy rumbles and that tells you, you need food. When your thirsty, you need fluid. When you have anxiety you need to feel safe in order for it to calm down xx
maybe you should get an ecg just in case if it persists tommorrow

How about considering the fact I've known anxiety for over 45 years, thats alot of experience, don't you agree?
All of these symptoms will not harm you, but they will make you feel bad. The best advice I can give you is to decide you've had enough of this false representatiion of fear that is fed by more fear which is the same thing as almost getting hit by a car that has just past you, you just have a habit of a never ending loop of that car coming at you.
My experience has helped me understand it's better to do thousands of different things than to worry about one thing thats turned out to be nothing to really worry about, that is if you really want to give it up. You do, don't you?
