I'm suffering with this nearly everyday at the moment. Anxiety is causing me to have panic attacks most if not every day, I feel exhausted. I feel a constant chest pain, and if I move ie travel in a car or something it feels like somethings moving around inside my chest. Daily  though I get headaches, dizzyness, tingling hands, numbness, shortness of breath and general chest pain. I'm so scared im going to die with each and every feeling of panic. I've alalways thought/worried about dying since being little. But now with the anxiety I'm struggling every day with it. I feel so lost

    i had severe pain due to anxiety too .it was so bad i screamed out of pain and took 3-4 pills to sleep.anyway i started antidepressants and helped me extremely lot it took 3-4 weeks but the change was enormous for me. i do psychotherapy too and try to get normal me again too.

    it is a temporal condition you will get over.

    you should ask for help though .

    i hope the best for you and hope you feel a lot better soon !

      Thanks Anthony,

      I have been meditating daily with a great app called headspace and have been put back on a snri after 8 months of being med free. My side affects have been suicidal thoughts and depression however the panic attacks have stopped! I don't know what's worse. But I agree with you that excercise is important and I haven't been regular and I need to make a commitment to make it a daily thing. I know it will be a life long struggle for me even though I'm 33 and have battled this for a while now. I hope everyone suffering like this finds hope and their on road to recovery xx

      I've suffered with a anxiety for about 13 years,stopped my medication about 12 years ago as they was making me have stupid thoughts,started exercising even at my worst. I know now what triggers my attacks not through doctors but through dealing with it. When I feel one coming on now I just let it happen sit there tell my self what's the worst that can happen! 12 years been doing this. I've never had heart attack or what ever other thoughts pop in my head. Although I've had attacks that have lasted for hours. I've just got on with it. Horrible anxiety wouldn't wish it on anyone. Im also 33 so nearly half my life with it. Xx

    I read a lot of texts here and they all seem like my situation. I am really bad I have no motivation or excitement in life. I really hope you have found a solution to get rid of all this. You may want to share it with me.

    I myself have gone through this and i can understand the pain , the agony , the loneliness , and the desperation associated with it .. I hope you recover from it very soon . My advice would be what i tried on Myself and that releived me from anxiety (panic disorder) or more particularly health anxiety . you must do Progressive Muscle Relaxation (look up YouTube for PMR's)... I have drastically reduced my anxiety by this technique.... Its about 20 min procedure. But you must do it continuously for results.... You will see results in like a week... Hope you will benefit from it...

    Regards

    I feel the same way, my fear of dying consumes most of my life. I worry about every aspect of it from obsessing about getting a terminal disease,to what is going to happen to my body when it happens,and for me the most terrifying part is being afraid that there is no life after death, and no heaven.I don't know why I am this way? But it's such a hopeless feeling..I would give anything to not feel this way. Do u have any of these feelings?

      How are you doing Rose? My anxiety was brought on similarly to yours as both my parents died this year. Prior to this i was one of the happiest well-balanced person. Ive been suffering for six months now both mentally and physically with the worst part being the insomnia and chest pains. I now have terrible acne and acid/stomach issues. It has been a battle but my God is able and is helping me through this. Drs are more confused and are frustrated by not being able to cure this. Faith and God's promises of peace and wholeness is what's fuelling me. Please pray and trust in God and you would get better in time.

      Love you all in Jesus name.
