It's been such a tough year. Wishing everyone strength and positivity...
Ladyjen, what is the sensation you're feeling? I get strange feelings too and wondered if they could be gerd related. Mine are brief flutters, sometimes a sensation to cough. I do notice hoarse...
Happy Christmas everyone! Thankful for everyone here. Best wishes for 2021!...
That must be so comforting to know. Good for you! We should all pat ourselves on the back for getting through Covid anxiety!...
Thanks Hibee and GB. Yes self medicating is right. And not at all healthy. I'm going to keep trying. Meditation interests me Hibee but I feel I just can't clear my mind no matter how long I try. I...
Thanks for the feedback. Almost have a week under my belt now. No major panic attacks. I am finding it harder to sleep though. Took ativan 2 nights in a row to help ease me to sleep. Ladt night...
Yes! I agree with you Rei..the gastro issues feed the anxiety and it just keeps circling. I've started taking probiotics and find they're really helping. Heal the belly, lower the anxiety right?...
Hi everyone. Just switched my meds from Escitalopram 10mg to Celexa 10mg. Yes baby doses but i was having too many palpitations on 20mg of Escitalopram. There's actually a health warning not to...
Thanks Hibee. I mentioned the drinking just wondering if that could also be the cause of the palpitations. I went to my dr on Thursday and switched my meds to Celexa. My sister had success with this...
I haven't posted in a long time. I often log in though, comforted to know I'm not crazy or the only one who feels like this. Last few months I've been drinking heavily on the weekends, 1 bottle of...
Thanks Hibee & S.C. I haven't had it for a few days. If it were apnea wouldn't be consistent? Next time I'm at the docs I'll mention it unless it reoccurs. I'll then go and make a visit....
This has been reoccurring with more and more frequency over the last few weeks... Just as I'm almost asleep, I feel like I'm not breathing and I jump up, gasping for breath. I'm pretty unconscious at...
Does anyone else get a hot sensation but in one spot while panic is racing through? I had a flash of back pain today that pulsed for a few minutes which I then started to panic about. I sat calmly...
Thanks for the feedback...guess I'll be visiting my doc tomorrow...
These brain zaps are driving me crazy! They have increased from occasional on Friday to everytime I move my head today. I will admit I am very stressed right now and think that it's relative. Does...
I have a pretty stressful job as well and can't help but wonder why it's affecting me in ways it never did before. I think life in general has become more stressful because social media projects all...
I have felt it creeping for months now. I am stepping up my coping skills and yet..BOOM! My mum seems to think I am moving into my premenopausal years and many of my symptoms just prove her right....
This happens to me also. I feel so sluggish that I then panic because I think something is wrong. Like your mouth can't move correctly and you just feel so out of it.....
Thanks for the support everyone :) so far just increased anxiety. Holly, when I started on the 12.5mg it felt liked it started working within days. Only noticed side effect I noticed was I was really...
S.C. My super scanner is on red alert! I can't stop looking for pains to wonder about. It's so hard to quit checking for signs and symptoms to worry over. Thanks for your encouragement :)...
Anxiety surely can't cause elbow pain. I've had it since about Christmas and it comes and goes. When I mentioned to my doc he says it's probably arthritis. Of course I googled and it always relates...
To make a long story short, been feeling the anxiety building for a few weeks now. Had a physical where my doc told me my blood pressure was high for the 1st time in my life.. This led to a panic...
Sending positivity and good vibes your way S.C....
Thanks everyone! I had a better evening. Although I was rushing around this morning and forgot to take both my anxiety and stomach meds. So far (knock on wood) I'm ok. My doc is waiting for my...
Gah..I knew it was coming. I have felt it building but tried to hold off until my annual physical yesterday to ask my doc to increase my Paxil dosage. Driving home from work I felt such a panic rush...
Sending strength to you and your family......
HI Hermes. I sure know hearing reassurances make the anxiety subside. I can share that also suffer from HA and it's horrible. Good job resisting Dr.Google!! You are stronger than you might think when...
Good for you not googling Gilly! I've had it on and off myself. its true that when you conquer one anxiety symptom another tries to throw you. keep up the good work!...
Way to go S.C!! You inspire so many!...
Prayers to you and your family....
Oh S.C. I'm glad you are OK and how inspiring that you went back to the store after that!! I'd be headed straight to the ER cuz that's what I do. You must go and get the "all clear" that you surely...
Hey there...I definitely get muscle and joint aches when I'm stressed. It's all the tension...if I think about it I notice my shoulders are up under my ears all the time. As S.C. said the progressive...
Sorry Blu..not being in your own bed does not help right? I'll bet that cotton has to do with the way you're feeling. Has it bothered you before? How long until you get back to the comforts of home?...
HI there...left arm pain is a common anxiety symptom that I've read about here. I use the search bar up top to read others posts about our common symptoms. I find it helps me put in perspective that...
How frightening! Of course that would send your anxiety into high gear. I'm so happy to hear that all is okay health wise. You've got a good plan going Gilly! Very inspiring :) I hope that you do get...
Oh Gilly, I'm sorry you are suffering as well. Remind yourself that your body is healing itself and that is all that's going on. Are you up and about? Can you take a walk and get fresh air? Try to do...
I'm sorry to hear how you're feeling. It sounds like you are doing everything you can to be sure it isn't your heart and that's very smart. If the pills make it stop then take comfort when it does....
Why?? Why would it come and go?? Honestly all my symptoms today point to heart issues. Intermittant chest pains that I'm trying to write off as costochondritis Intermittant elbow pain for both sides...
Unfortunately my mouth guard will need to go back. It's too tight and my teeth are in agony after wearing it. Now that my brain has decided to accept that the jaw pain is not heart related, it...
Thanks S.C. I was just at the dentist at the beginning of Dec. to get my mouth guard for grinding and clenching...I don't find I'm doing that much anymore since I got the guard (go figure) unless...
I have Googled and cannot find anything similar to what my jaw pain is. It only happens when I exhale, its a zap to my lower left jaw.. It doesn't matter if I breathe through my mouth or nose, it...
That's great Gilly!! I was thinking about getting one of those but also worried I would drive myself crazy with it. I'm glad you hear the opposite is truefully and it provides peace of mind. Good job...
HI Lola. ..sorry to hear you're having such a rough time. Taking walks and being outside I'd helpful. Fresh air is refreshing. I also like deep breathing and counting to 10, repeating until my panic...
I'm sorry if it sounds selfish, thinking of myself with all these deaths all the time but it really does have my anxiety on high. With my health anxiety and noticing all my aches and pains and then...
Thanks for sharing those words of encouragement!!...
Thanks for posting! I'm going to watch all his other videos now :)...
Welcome lae...I haven't personally experienced anything like this but do suffer from Gerd and it does make me wheezy from time to time. I'm sure someone will pop up with advice who has. Anxiety can...
Scaredy I wish you the same!! Your words of support and encouragement are always so comforting. .. Hope you have a happy and healthy holiday!!...
Thanks for the support everyone. I'm at home and haven't went back to the ER. I'm doing my best to distract myself so I'm not focused on the twinges. Gilly I'm sorry you're not feeling up to the...
HI everyone. I ended up leaving the ER after a 3 hour wait and not having been seen by anyone. I had an appointment at my sons school that I could not miss. The pain in my jaw is still there but I...
