Just want to say "Hi" - Panic Disorders Message Board

Hi,
I just wanted to say I am soooo glad I found this board. There are other people out there like me!!

I have been suffering from panic and anxiety for a couple years now. I haven't had an actual panic attack in a couple months, but I have symptoms of anxiety everyday. Like some of you, I constantly think there is something really wrong with me~ heart diseases, different types of cancer, brain tumors~ the list goes on and on! My everyday symptoms include: lightheadedness, dizzy, chest pressure, headaches, feel like passing out, and feelings of unreality.

Anyway, I just wanted to say "Hi".

I have been reading a lot of threads on here and it makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one who suffers with this.

welcome Iceangel, actually passing out from anxiety is very rare

Thanks for the replys
hry, I haven't actually passed out yet, but I have come really close many times. It's a scary feeling. Usually when I get this feeling I try to lay down and this helps the feeling to pass.
