Ive noticed there seems to be so many types of anxiety.
Some people are worried about what others think of them. some (like me) are just generally worried about there health constantly. i.e breathing,choking,heatbeat etc. Im curious to understand who gets affected by what so if you could take a few mins of your time to list your anxiety issues. i guess im sort of looking for some reassurance that it isnt just me who suffers daily with health worrys. My main anxiety features are as follows. lump in throat,feelings of choking or throat closing up. dizzyness. stoamch pains and acid reflux cos of the stress phobia of driving phobia of eating (scared of choking) phobia of tablets(terrified to take anything new) depression (because of the anxiety) Posted on 09/28/07, 06:09 am |

I guess my anxiety is fear of something bad going to happen. Not to me just me having to deal with it.

My anxiety has always been very health-based. I'm scared of becoming ill, scared of my loved ones becoming ill. I'm scared of growing old--probably because that will involve sickness. Scared of things like being in a car accident...anything that would affect my health. And as looloo said, it's the fear of not being able to deal with the things that might happen.
My anxiety symptoms are: persistent shortness of breath/tight chest for the past five-six months numbness/tingling in my arms and hands when I panic feel like I'm going to choke when I panic chest pain

I am going through a panic right now and it is all health related. My sinuses have been really bad along with a cold, so my ears plug up and deep breathing is hard to do with a cold. I feel sick to my stomach, and muscles ache and are tense. i get dizzy. I am afraid of taking meds cause of side effects,don't want to try anything new. I am agoraphobic but I am forced to go to work. But all in all it is health issues.

Although my symptoms are not exactly like yours I do get intensely anxious about my health (if I have a headache more than once in a week my mind starts thinking about tumors & blood clots etc...) I also get worried about other people's health and safety (if their driving for instance) I do have acid reflux which is a combination of genetics and anxiety. My sister had a phobia of driving for years as well as taking tablets. Are you on any medicine?-you cann get it in liquid form although I know that won't help your fear of taking anything new. Your not alone but it sure sounds very challenging and frightening.

I have the persistant worries, about dying, and what will happen to me there after, I woke an anxious, with racing heart, dizziness, cold sweat, and tight chest, I also tend to get sick easily, probably because the anxiety affects my immunity or something, I also get the tight throat, and numbness and tingling, muscle tension, knots. I get depressed about it, and I don't really drive anymore, because I am afraid of getting dizzy in the car. or werever I am. I also get the butterflies in the stomach feeling, except it feels like wasps sometimes.

Sometimes I think I am just afraid of whehter or not people will accept this condition, like I wonder if strangers can tell somethig is going on with me when I am anxious, think if you were standing in line and had a bad headache or about to throw up, everyone in line with you would most likly be symphathetic, it wouldn't seem wierd to anyone if you were sick, but with anxiety its different, when I had my first panick attack I hyperventialted and almost passed out before I knew what it was, so some lady put a mint in my mouth because she thought I might be ahving a diabetic episode or something. I always wonder if people would be as assuring if they knew it wasn't a real illness.

Perfect angel i just wnated to commented on your last post you said you wonder if people would be sypathetic if they knew it wasnt a real illness. I think it is!
In fact anxiety is mental illness right? As far as what other people think, to me i couldnt give a SHIT! lol to be perfectly honest with you guys, when im having an anxiety attack the fear of what ever symptom im having( choking and throat closing up are my BIG star syptoms the past few months) i couldnt care less at that moment in time, the fear is so intense i am choking or dying or what ever is going on with me im far too busy to worry what others think. Alot of people dont understand anxiety....i think alot of us anxiety sufferers ALSO dont understand it....not 100% anyway if we did we wouldnt be anxious right?

im just self concious about myself when im out, even when im just around friends. i get myself all worked up, to the point where i get sick and have to go home so i can throw up.
im not confident in myself to do things like drive...and ive only just got a job...i have stupid painc attacks before every shift... i find it really limiting.
