Do your anxiety symptoms last for days/weeks?

There are so many replies on this post even though it's old... It makes me feel a little better. The past few months I've had symptoms on and off for days. Each time a new pain comes along I'm convinced I'm dying. I've been to urgent care twice for chest pain and trouble breathing, and both times the doctor said it's anxiety. He didn't even recommend tests because I didn't have health insurance. I have insurance starting tomorrow and have a doctor's appointment with a new primary physician in 9 days but I keep thinking I won't live that long. Some days I am afraid to even leave bed, as if moving will trigger a heart attack. I just want this to end. I'm tied of being in pain and fearing for my life.

My anxiety is exactly like everyone else blurry vision dizziness difficult walking straight. Feeling nervous all the time nervous stomach . it seems like everyday there's something going on . I've been checked for everything . CT scan. x-ray of my heart blood work done everything came back normal . I think what we all have in common is we think we're going to die. Maybe a fear of dying is what is triggering our anxiety?? My symptoms have gotten less ever since I excepted that death is a part of life . I made a choice I can either die everyday . or start trying to live my life in a more positive way . You have tell your self if you were having a heart attack you would have had one already if you had a brain tumor you would be having sezures . anxiety is very scary and tricky it's like our brain is taking over our bodies. But we have to remind our selves we control our brain . Just always tell your self when your having an anxiety attack . I'm not dying this will pass . I decided to except my anxiety everyday . I will let God decide when it's my time . until then I'm going to start enjoying my life . I read alot of the post on here I started to cry because I know what you all are going through . I wouldn't wish this on anyone . I would wather break a arm then to feel anxiety . I wish you all the best just hang in there . Happy new year ?

I basically had anxiety non stop because of obsessing about situations I couldn't change, it literally happens from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep. not so much the obsessive part now because ive been taking Paxil for the last 2 months. sure  I have some anxiety but no longer obsessing every minute or every day.

I would have massive panic attacks often it felt like I was going to explode if I didn't cave in to what stopped it for a minute, it would just start the cycle all over again if I did it drove me insane

So I had extreme panic attacks.  I went to the Er 14 times in two weeks.  Extreme dizzy ness light headed fear of dying pounding heart felt like things were not real got all kinds of blood ekg halter eco cardio gram etc and came back normal and was told it was anxiety.  I was living in a endless panic attack by jist anxiety.  I did some serious research.  What made it go away for good were electrolytes specifically a brand called selecteolytes by Morin labs.  Calcium magnesium fish oil flax oil and lecithin.  Also making sure I was very hydrated.  Good quality water making sure that a few of those bottles were Fiji or Evian type waters loaded with minerals.  Sole from hymallaian pink salt.  And finally colon cleansing and liver cleansing and gallbladder cleansing. Essentially your liver and kidney are stressed. They cannot get rid of toxins like normal.  Depending on the type of panic you get it could be your gut more than you lover it all depends.  But some people with extreme panic who cannot take pills due to reactions eat all organic Whole Foods look up liver healing foods go to a colonic and let your liver heal for a year or two before you take any herbs to cleanse as you could have a reaction. But taking those supplements eating and drinking water will get u back to normal in a few weeks 

I know this post is old. I hope people still read this.

I am 3 months into this anxiety/panic/health anxiety. I've been to the er almost every day in 4 months.

I've had anxiety since I was 15 (28 now). I've never had it this bad and I was pretty good at controlling it. I had a baby 7 months ago and I am over the moon excited about her. For the past 4 months I thought so many things. Heart attack, brain tumor, ulcer, depression, post partum depression. ..etc. I have done blood work, ekg, ct scan of brain, chest xrays, you name it. Everything was clear except being vitamin d deficient. I have gerd and I'm lactose intolerant so it's hard to get vitamin d. But I am taking vitamin d supplement now.

Anyways my symptoms have included:

Electric shock pain in chest

Pressure in chest

Pain in bones and muscles (usually left side)

Total body numbness (but not paralysis)

Muscle cramps(mostly in left foot and left hand)

Headaches and dizziness

Numbness in and out of my mouth and face

Pain under left breast

Extreme back and neck pain

And so much more. This is an EVERY DAY THING. I've been to a therapist and even admitted myself into a facility. I began feeling afraid to be alone after that. I feel like this is NEVER going to end. I feel like SOMETHING is definitely wrong with my health. I check my pulse and blood pressure constantly. I've ousted my best friend away and my husband is getting fed up. I want to be strong for my baby, but I have no energy. I want to live so bad. But something is just holding me back. This is supposed to be the happiest moment of my life. I prayed so hard for my baby. Took years to finally have her.

I've Google so much and I know it's baf, but it's also good because it led me to you wonderful people. I pray we all get over this very soon!

Nicola,

I know exactly what you are going through. I have every symptom you listed. Mine just started a month ago. Unfortunately, like you, I don't know what it is, or what's causing it. I was hoping it was withdrawal from a medication I've gone off of.. but it's not getting better. I take 3 klonapin a day. It doesn't help. My vitals are always fine. I'll let you know if i find out anything at all. Please do the same. Thanks! Terri

Hi everyone! Boy oh boy do I know what you floks are talking about. I haven't allowed my doctor to medicate me. I've found that magnesium works for me! Try look up Dr. Carolyn Dean, she wrote a book which shows a conncetion with being magnesium deficient and anxiety. I am not a doctor, what I do know is that it worked for me when I couldn't sleep for days. Sigh!

Good luck!
