Had the worst day ever today! Can't cope anymore! Feel so very ill , my back is so painful chest feels so tight and can't breathe properly! I must be dying it can't just be anxiety !! Even my heel on my left foot hurts to walk on! Been in sertraline nearly 4 weeks now and beta blockers racing heart has stopped but feel so ill. Take the occasional diazepam, but still no relief. Must have cancer in my back or somewhere chest X-ray and blood tests were ok but something's been missed surely . Can't carry on much longer 😩
Debbie I wish I could hug you right now. I know it's so much easier said than done but lay on the floor put your hands on your belly and try and take 50 deep breathes. Count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 then 2, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc. count as you inhale and match it as you exhale. Just concentrate on the breathing. You are ok, you can do this. Don't think about how you feel tomorrow or next week. 1 minute at a time. In and out.
Thanks amber could do with a hug π Just feel so ill all the time . Is it really just anxiety! So frightened ππ
Hang in there it gets better. Maybe a couple of more weeks. You can always call you go if in two weeks it doesnt calm down. Yes severe anxiety can do this. It really does get better.
I know it's hard to believe. I deal with very similar problems. I usually refuse to believe it's anxiety. For today I know that it is. Soon it will be me asking for reassurance that I'm ok! Just breath! You will get through this!
Oh it's anxiety!!!!! Anxiety can do crazy SH$& to your body. You are strong and remember one minute at a time.
Thanks Lisa, hope it gets slightly better soon, life's so hard at the minuteπ Thanks for your kind words x
Thanks amber, I'm really trying π One day at a time x
Breathng realy does work in clearing the mind. Also fast walking for 30 mins with a smile on your face has been proven to be as beneficial as anti-deps.
It sounds so silly for us to be anxious and you don't half the time know why. It does not help when hubbys just don't get it. You can help your mindset though with simplee techniques.
Hi Debbie a huge hug out too youπ
Yep sure I have experience this. I've had so many test done because I thought it was my health so many times to find that anxiety has many symptoms and it was this.
Anxiety of cruel! ! Every day I wake my hearts beats so fast I bolt for the door I have to have propranolol now a large dose...
Keep going with the beta blockers.. I take mine before I wake about half hour then try to go back to sleep after like until that tablet kicks in I feel sick have pains heart races think something bads going to happen. Once taken the tablet this goes not all of it but most..
I you feel that something is seriously wrong see your Dr
Have you read the side affects of your beta blocker there is strange side affects.
I wish you well Debbie
Take care
Vicky x
