I started feeling lightheaded and just off last night with very minor right sided chest pain off and on seems like I kept stopping breathing so id take deep breaths.My body was relaxed and still it persisted.I laid down and had tingling in my feet and the back of my head then in my bottom lip also a few PVC's.Earlier that day when I went to say my sons name nothing came out at first not sure if that was a stutter like thing or what and still 2 weeks or more of a black cloudy spot that comes and goes in my right eye.I am just sick of going to the doctor over everything and right now I really dont have the time just to find out it is probably all anxiety/stress related. I am also trying keep going without meds I have been on several before but id like to just get through it because it comes and goes so much it really more of an annoyance then anything else at this point.13 yrs of this crap.......anyone else relate to those symptoms above?

Hi tnmom...so sorry to hear you're having a hard time. I've suffered for 13 years from anxiety too. I feel for you.

That black cloudy spot in your eye is probably just a "floater" and completely harmless. I have a few of them myself. They are caused by a thickening in the vitreous humor of your eye. If you are worried about them, I would see an eye doctor so you can put your mind at ease.

All the other symptoms you mentioned, as you probably know well, are most likely from stress and anxiety. I applaud you for being strong and trying not to take meds, but don't beat yourself up if you need a Xanax now and then. I needed one last night myself (expecting a lot of company this weekend and I had a little meltdown). I felt so much better and I'm getting a lot accomplished today since I got some rest.

Take care of yourself :)

hi, yes ive had the symptoms your describing.... if u seriously get really worried.. call ur doc and ask him/her instead of going in.. but when i get those feelings... deep down inside of me, i know its just anxiety.. i dunno.. its hard times.. hope u feel better... try to get some exercise .. it helps.. bye

When my anxiety started up I would stutter at 1st with my 1st word. Actually kinda just like you described. Just make sure you tell your Dr whats going on.

I read somewhere that what we say to our Doc's influences their diagnosis by 90-95%
