Hi Tina

I personally would not have the answer for you - I hope you get some help/advice from these messageboards, seems a very active boards with loads of member's willing to share their own problems.,

I was in the same situation as you. My health insurance threatened to drop me because I had gone to the ER a total of 25 times in 7 or 8 months. Talking to a psychiatrist really helped, but I was still having these symptoms. I was phobic of taking any anti-anxiety medicines because I was afraid I was going to take a reaction to them and die in my sleep. I'm just curious...are you on any type of birth control? A lot of these symptoms are a side effect of the bc. I feel a lot better after going off of mine...of course I am 5 months pregnant now. Also, sex might be painful because you may have too much yeast. This could also be from the pill. That's one thing it may be. I would get these dull headaches and this lightheaded feeling...almost like my surroundings were fake. I still get these on occassion, but not as often. The main thing that I did was kept going back to my family doctor and annoyed the hell out of him until he ordered every test so I knew I wasn't dying. Have you seen a neurologist yet? Get an MRI or ct scan so that you know it's nothing that way. Also, do you have sinus problems? I'm actually finding out that that is my problem now. You could also have GERD...these are side effects of that and also IBS-C. I just wanted to give you some ideas as to what it might be, because I know how frustrated I was for over a year. I still get the fears of dying, but I think everyone does to some extent. I hope I helped you feel more at ease. Good luck

Tina, So sorry for the anxiety and poor health feelings you are having.
I am sure I don't have the answers for it all but I feel that your biggest fear is death. And that usually comes with anxiety and or panic attacks.
That alone can and will destroy your life if you don't get a grip on it. Fear is something most of us deal with at one time or another, but anxiety tends to bring out more fear and more frustration and seems at times an endless circle.

Fear can cause your drymouth and your heart beating fast could be anxiety and if you start breathing fast from the fear you start hyperventilating which could cause you to be dizzy. I mean they all connect if that is what your problem is.

I am only talking of anxiety because I lived it with it so long and it ruined my years. I lived in the Er, I felt like they said oh here comes wacko again, and oh yes your name is so and so you have a history of panic attacks hmmmm.

I eventually went to a trial clinc for this in Miami. I had to have someone drive me, and in time my symptons one by one started to go away and I began to feel like other people. I had pains and aches tired and fear from the chest pains ect. and breathing and almost passing out. They all went away and I got my life back.
I can tell you that WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT GETS BIGGER, So try and take deep breaths slowly no matter how hard it is when your heart is racing, smell an oil or fragrance you like and it soothes you to a degree or a choclate bar.
If you don't know how to deep breathe, you should find out because this helps you control your anxiety the best. Carry a small paper bag with you and when you feel you can't breath, breathe into it a few times telling yourself you are ok no matter how hard it is.
This I say asuming that you have been checked out by a cardio doctor and have had tests that rule out heart problems.
Your pains and back may be from your weight? I hope you can try to control some of your fear of death because I did that way back when I was living in fear and would wait outside the er so many nights.....fear is a terrible thing.

Not sure if this helps you at all but you can try them and know your not alone with not knowing what is going on with you. Our mind can play great games with us. But nothing is worse then feeling lousey and no one knows what it is. Maybe just getting through some of the anxiety will help you to feel better, I hope so. Then you can manage the other things.
