Hi Jen, I too have had my share of trips to the docs office. Every blood test in the world, heart check ups, eye check ups, ear check ups, etc. All came back fine. I've been suffering from Anxiety for a long time. My symptoms were at their worst a year ago. I had extreme fatique, severe night sweats, dizzyness, shakes, wieght loss, eye trouble(seeing floaters and spots) Those still aren't gone, trouble catching my breath, nauseau, I too was afraid to go to bed at night because that's when my symptoms would get worse. Why are you afraid to go to bed at night? I've been on Zoloft for over a year now and the severity of the symptoms have decreased greatly. I still feel them, but it's not completely ruining my life, and I even have some days where I feel normal. I can relate to your frustration, and sympathize. It's no way to live. What other symptoms do you have? Bye the way, I'm Shannon, 30year old male. Nice to meet ya

i'm sorry, all those crazy faces did make me laugh. lol, but i understand exactly what you mean.. i have given up on the ER becauyse i use to go all the time, now i feel like they dont listen to me anyway.. i do go to the dr. alot. i email my doc everyday with some suggestion about wha ti could have... or what test i need now.. i do know exactly how you feel. feeling like, maybe other anxiety sufferers dont have ALL the symptoms you have, EXACTLY how you feel them. right now i'm dealing with heart palps and chest pains and weird breathing and i feel like nobody has ever been this bad. it must be heart failure for sure.. i use to feel the head stuff alot. i hated going to bed because when i would start to drift off, i would get like a surge of pressure in my head, i'd feel all spaced out, like i was gonna pass out,, just tons of weird stuff. i know it is hard to accept that it is JUST anxiety doing this to our bodies.. but, i think it is.. BELIVE me, i have soooo many symptoms, 24/7.. i know how you feel..... amanda

you have hypochondria, thats a very normal symptom of anxiety, stress, and especially OCD

(( the deifnition of hypochondira is a person who is constantly preoccupied iwth health, haveng unrelalalistic fears, and is not comferted by tests or docters. ))

the best thing to do for this is DONT look up aything medical related unless your told to by your docter, have a regular physical once a month to ease your mind, and relax.

thats the most important; you can try massage tehrapy, aromatherapy, herbs, or even meds if need be. just whatever it takes to relax you

let me enphasie; please try other methods of relaxing before trying meds

make sure you eat a balanced diet, and excersize, and try takeinga good multivitimin (that helps anxiety alot more than youd thing)

alot of peopel feel like you, your anything but alone <3
