Anxiety Support Group

PPPP,
Don't apologise! Your frustration is understandable. It is so horrible to feel like something is wrong and then nobody can tell you what it is.
I am guessing that you are suffering the physical effects of anxiety and they can be so terrifying because they are powerful. Adrenaline has the ability to make your herat flutter and the dizziness can also be caused by this. Sometimes if I panic I feel like I may faint becuase my head goes really dizzy and funny. Sometimes I don;t even realise that it is panic until it's too late.
We are with you and you are not alone.
Are you taking any meds for this?

thanks for your reply yes im on lorazapam 0.5 i used to take 5 pills a day now im down to 3 half pills but i go back to the doctor again on monday to see if they can give me a med that lasts all day. thanks again it is nice to know your not alone but it sucks to know so many people are suffering from this

I hope they can figure out a med that works better for you. Anxiety is such a difficult thing to live with. Hang in there though, things can get better. Mine has been much better lately. ((hugs))

thanks

PPPP, please don't apologize and you are NOT alone with your symptoms.

Some days the dizziness is so bad, I can barely walk, other days I am fine. When I get bad, I will take a Xanax to calm me down.

I have noticed since I have been taking vitamins and exercising, I am feeling much better. Sometimes I have to push myself to exercise but feel much better after I do it.

Do you have chest pain/discomfort? You are not alone.

I started to have chest pain and palps last October, and have also done a lot of tests with all being negative. My chest pain is still off and on almost everyday. It also moves around my back and chest. It sucks and is very frustrating to me. That's my biggest symptom now.

I had a panic attack in March. Now, I've learned and am still learning not to get another panic attack.

It's a vicious cycle that the worse you feel, the more depressed you are, and vice versa. It's hard to break the cycle...

Hey PPPP. I've been experiencing symptoms of anxiety for around five years. I experienced many of the symptoms you mentioned. The good news is they can go away. I'm not "cured" but I haven't experienced many of the physical symptoms for some time.

Hold in there!
