many of us here can relate to how you're feeling, so you are not alone. it sounds like ocd about your health which is causing you lots of anxiety. you had a traumatic event happen (with the loss of...
Chris, I've had all of those symptoms with my anxiety. Many times....
The only thing you can do when you have it is learn to cope with it. I'd like for it to completely disappear - FOREVER....
oh, and one day when they find a cure for the physical symptoms...we won't have much to complain about anymore. /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
I used to get extreme anxiety every time I was told there was no cure. But I do believe in my heart that one day a scientist will figure this out and find a cure, because this is partly physical. I...
Chris, to answer your question, YES. It sounds like a pretty bad anxiety attack. If you thought you might be dying or going crazy and were in absolute misery....then a panic attack....
andwes i'm sorry you're going thru that but i'm glad i'm not alone!! I guess this is a daily routine for both of us. Sometimes i hope god will just miraculously cure me!...
i've felt like that often. I felt like all of my twenties were wasted and while everyone was beginning a life, i couldn't get out of bed. Everyday I PRAY FOR A CURE!!! This is NOT only a mental...
i have been living this exact same way for years. My eyes were blurry when i woke up the other morning and i was convinced that my "lymphoma" had spread to my brain. I wake up daily and get on the...
xanax make me feel drugged too. klonopin doesn't give me that drugged feeling, but it takes the edge off....
mine have lasted for hours on end before (especially in the beginning) it freaked me out cause i thought it would never end. i also was confused when it said they only last a few minutes. it made me...
i HATE when doctors do that. That creates lots of anxiety right there. You should call them back and either ask them for an appointment today or tell them you want to know exactly what is going on...
I'm praying for him, lyn....
I try not to take any meds if i don't have to, but when I was first diagnosed w/panic attacks 13 years ago, the doc told me to take benadryl and it relaxed me (sort of). My sister who does not suffer...
I know anxiety can cause that BUT if you are using down pillows and comforters and do not know you have an allergy to feathers or dust, those can make you feel sick and make it hard to breathe....
i have this everyday. i don't know if it is anxiety cause it's been going on for years and my lower left pelvis is swollen/lopsided. It's been 6 years. i also have stomach pain and have to push on my...
no kidding! I've had lumps in my lower abdomen for 6 years and i'm always short of breath. My stomach bloats. i'm starting to think i've got a serious problem - my docs blame everything on anxiety....
i've said this lots of times on this board that I believe panic disorder starts from stress, over-worrying, a certain way of thinking, etc.... BUT then something happens with our first panic attack...
For those here suffereing from true PANIC DISORDER (not anxiety only or phobias) and believe that something in their our changed that causes the physcial symptoms and this is not only mental, but...
I do the same exact thing. I think of the worst-case scenario all the time. Even if I daydream (thinking nice thoughts) something disasterous will happen to ruin it. It's like i'm preparing myself...
yes i have both for almost 7 years. i also have an anxiety disorder. i had an upper endoscopy and 2 barium x rays showing severe reflux on one barium x ray.. i don't take any meds for it. the...
i know this probably isn't panic-related but does anyone here ever get "inernal itching" ? i have what feels like tickly or itchiness on the inside of my stomach....
neurogurl: please check out this website if you haven't already. there's a whole bunch of people just like us. they're trying to find the cause of palinopsia over there and it looks like they're...
ive had 2 mri's and an EEG, which were negative. i don't think all neurological disorders/diseases show up on thoses tests. i could swear i was having some sort of seizures when i had my EEG. i think...
go to the ER. I just read this to my brother in law who had bypass surgery a few weeks ago and he had the same complaints. He said his tests (stress test, echo, nuclear) came back fine. he had an...
Neurogurl My palinopsia was like this first i had photophobia real bad. it was so bad that even the moon at night and traffic lights were bright. that is part of anxiety. then my vision was very...
i'm not sure if i can post this link here, but I found it last night. it's a palinopsia message board. I guess you can cut and paste it in your browser. I can't believe there are others like us that...
I had acute panic attacks. Ones that kept me up for days and lasted for long periods of time. I felt sick all the time from anxiety. Now i've developed food allergies to almost everything. I have...
You're not dying!!! I have palinopsia too! :smile: I've had it for nearly 10 years, about 3 years after panic attacks and taking klonopin. I see after images and trails everyday. You are not alone....
I don't know if it is bypass surgery or any surgery, but my brother in law just had bypass surgery a few weeks ago. Now he is having really strange tastes and smells. Nothing tastes right and he...
Stress can cause or trigger lots of diseases or conditions: Many people that have heart attacks are under stress. Some say High blood pressure is caused by stress. I believe my food allergies are...
Taz2u: I'm sorry you're going thru this. I understand though. I've had this for 13 years and I'll NEVER get used to it! /community/emoticons/sad.gif ...
PLEASE READ!!!! I'm frustrated about Panic Disorder being thought of as only a mental illness. It cannot be. Here's why: How many of us have had a clear head (thinking clearly), been in a great mood,...
I've had this for 13 years. I understand. I've had soooo many tests. I personally believe that PD is not just a mental disorder, but turns from mental to mental/physical. There is research being done...
twiggy: you're just dizzy. I used to do that all the time. It still happens a lot but i don't let it freak me out anymore. I used to watch my eyes in the mirror and then shut the light off and on and...
congrats Twiggy! I know how hard it isl! I was becoming agoraphobic 13 years ago and my doc said you have to FIGHT IT!!! Even if you feel awful, keep fighting it! Go to the movies, go to restaurants,...
Lyn: I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. I can't imagine the loss you must feel, especially during the holidays. I hope you know she is up there looking out for you!...
wanda, thank you!!! I'm glad you are doing well but i can't believe you had that so young. That must've been shocking and you definitely learned about it the hard way. Did you have any symptoms? Is...
Thank you both for responding /community/emoticons/smile.gif Peg, that must've been a scary experience. MY BIL had chest pains for awhile because he was under a lot of stress. Then he complained of...
Hi My Brother-in-law just had a 5 way bypass surgery and just got home from the hospital. He doesn't have heart failure or heart disease. Is there anyone here that has had this? He has lots of...
i get all those things too plus LOTS more!! i notice that i get stressed out way too easily....
this same thing happened to me. I could hide my panic/anxiety disorder well and found it hard to cry for a long time because i was so numb. I lost lots of weight and everyone started questioning and...
recently, i noticed a very strange reaction to diet coke. i hadn't ever heard of aspertame before this, but i ordered a regular coke from a fast food restaurant and they accidently gave me a diet...
hey twiggy, that happened to me this morning! I also had a really dry mouth and thought my kidneys were failing! /community/emoticons/eyes.gif ...
yes, there is. Anxiety Disorder is terrible and Panic Disorder is horrible . (LOL)...
I just wanted to add that I've suffered with this for 13 years and almost this whole battle has been fought without medication (just the occasional klonopin in case of a severe attack), so it is...
sorry, ben, I have to disagree. I don't think there is any 'proof' of someone dying from a panic attack, but I believe it can cause serious life-threatening phyisical problems. I've been diagnosed...
uhhh, shopping! I think the mall sends lots of us in a tailspin....
oh, i had that for awhile too. that's panic disorder. I was so worried at the time about hearing voices (cause i was worried about becoming schizophrenic) that i would listen extra hard to...
I wasn't paying attention! I just saw this post was for Harry. Sorry. /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
