Hi Nikigrl, Those symptoms sound a Little to familar to me know how you feel it is sometimes unbearable but somehow I get through them on my own no doctors I feel as though they just do not get it at all! Amy J.

Hi
I get all those feelings too. I definately been diagnosed as having anxiety and panic attacks. I get almost all of the symptoms you have. The ones most annoying to me are the off balance feelings (sometimes feels like I am lop sidded) the racing and slowing heart beat (If I panic my heart races then for a about 5-10secs will go slow and then race again. I always feel like it will stop). I also sometimes get a feeling of dread come over me all of a sudden, almost like something is wrong with my heart. I fear this the most as it makes me feel nauseated. It does pass after a few seconds. I have seen my doctor hundreds of times and had tests done but nothing shows up. I get down from having anxiety and wish I could get back to 'normal'.

Hi nikigrl

I am so sorry to hear the pills you are taking aren't helping you in anyway with all your other symptoms. I am wondering, are you on any of medication for your anxiety? I know you have other health issues that you are being treated for, but have any of your doctor's suggested some sort of treatment plain for your anxiety? I really think everything you have been through the last few months, with the "unknown" has caused you great anxiety. Besides for the fact that you are so young and your life has taken a drastic turn.
From being young and having fun, to staying home and worring about your health,, Granted I know all the symptoms you are FEELING ARE REAL!! These
symptoms are not made up you are really feeling this way, and it takes a toll.
I remember the days going out with my friends, not a care in the world, to be so young.. which I still am 30's aren't that old..(LOL) and to be consumed by worries like you have been, that would cause any human being some sort of anxiety disorder. I am just wondering has any medication for your anxiety been even offered to you? I just wanted you to know I was thinking of you, and wondering how you were feeling. Hangin there

I forgot to mention I get the tightness in my throat thing too, sometimes when I eat I feel like I will choke on my food cause I have a hard time swallowing.. I hope that can ease your mind alittle...
