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'.

forgot to add feeling like i cant swallow tightness in throat lsdting hrs feel like i cant breath thats ones i have alot

Hi nikigrl:wave:
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...

I am just like the rest of you. The chest pain or just feeling something in the left side of my chest is the one that annoys me the most. While doctors have never found anything wrong with me, I get anything from pain to like uncomfortable sensations. I feel like I am going to lose my balance or pass out. Sometimes I feel like something bad is about to happen or my heart is going to stop as it beats so slow and then it starts racing. This thing is nasty, plain and simple. I get so scared sometimes I think this is it I will die in a few minutes. I feel everyone's pain and I while I wish you all a rapid recovery I am glad not be alone with such symtoms. I do still live a normal life and do everything including dating and socializing but I am very honest about my symtoms with my friends. The good news is that none of us have a serious life threatening situation and it's all in our heads. Easier said than done but we can beat this thing. We have to start talking in a positive manner and while enjoy every moment of our lives expect bad days and better days. If we accept our condition with hopes that it will go away eventually we will get the results. No matter what we all have each other here and all have God and sooner or later we will beat this beast but we have to be persistent and think only positive. When we get the condition we have to keep telling ourselves this shall pass too and we will be fine in a few minutes. I swear when My heart starts doing funky things even if it's just muscle spasm, I get so scared as I think i will collapse any second and I never do and most probably never willand you guys are not any different. Have hope as hope is equal to faith. Everything happens for a reason and this will really make us look at life from a different perspective and teach's us to ignore little and insignificant things in life. Bottom line without health and happiness life is not worth much to me at least. I wish you all the best and will pray for you all as you are a family to me.:angel:
