Hi everyone...
I'm new to this, and this is my first post so here goes...
I'm a 24 year old female, have been suffering from General & health anxiety since July 2014!
Have tried different meds and counselling ect but I feel it only works for a short period of time. I also worry about EVERYTHING which doesn't help!!
Anyway.... I've been through the whole "am I having a heart attack experience so many times that my local a&e hate me"
I found out today that I've got a kidney infection and have been prescribed co-anoxiclav & co-codemol! I'm terrified to take them but I know if I don't I'll get worse...
I can't sleep at night, im so distant from my partner, I feel like I'm missing out on so much time with my 6 year old daughter! I just done know what to do anymore! All advice welcome :-(

I'm going through the exact same situation only I'm going on 8 years of this! It's definitely gotten worse this last year as just in the past 3 months I've been to the emergency room 5 times. I too don't know what to do anymore. I currently take citalopram 20mg and 1mg of Xanax when I really feel the worst. I feel the celexa is slowly starting to help me. What meds if any are you currently taking?

nausea, dizzyness, shortness of breath, tingling/ numbness in my arms and feet, chest pain, sweating hands and feet, headaches, blurred vision and like im in another place sometimes looking back at my self(crazy chic i hear you think). I have never been to my doctors as much in the past 6 months than in my whole life and you feel like your going crazy. I would like to say, im not pushing my story on you, but letting you see your not alone.... i have tried nearly all the teqhniqes given to me, but i find the best medicine is a hug on the sofa off my hubby... when im feeling the need to escape i try to find a calm space and tell myself I AM NOT DYING this is just anxiety over and over....Try not to use google for diagnosing illness as you will drive your self up the anxiety tree and my therapist made a massive point to me that our bodys are flooded with adrenilin when we have anxiety so try to use some... even just going for a walk or heavy house work! boring i know, but this does help.

a year and a bit ago, I fainted at work on Christmas Eve as I developed really bad panic attacks and anxiety for no reason and like you I was just a 'get on with it' person and didn't seek help for anxiety as I thought it would pass... was signed off from work for a few weeks due to severe migraines that were frequent, went back to work and as soon as I walked in the building, I had a huge out of the blue panic attack lol!
Like you, i've had some absolutely dreadful reactions to 2 medications and totally get the looking back at yourself thing! Like when you're downstairs and you think you're upstairs lying in bed or something and it's really vivid, it's crazy!!
