Fed up feeling like this!
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi ... I have suffered with anxiety for a few years but just recently it is getting worse! Docs gave me some meds but I had a bad reaction to them causing me to have a massive panic attack in my car! So now I am on waiting list for CBT. It's draining me and now I tense my stomach like I pull it in so it feels like someone is giving chest compression which makes my chest hurt! That's the only way I can explain it? Does anyone else have this issue? And now I don't go out to eat as get funny heads and feeling like I'm choking and can't swallow! Just had enough now! And advise would be great!

Have you tried any other medication? It may just be that that type didn't suit you. I remember years ago, being put on Prozac which gave me the most terrible migraine that I was bed-bound for at least 2 days. So they took me off them and gave me some different medication, which did help me.
Strangely enough, some years later, while suffering with a relapse of depression, I was prescribed prozac again, which I was reluctant to take. (I would have asked for something else if I hadn't got it from the chemist before I realised what I had been prescribed). However, this time I had no migraines! Plus it worked for me.
This made me wonder whether the migraine that I had suffered hadn't been a release of tension. (This may sound strange, but for instance if I have a good, shoulder shuddering cry - like I think we all need from time to time, for whatever reason) then I get a headache after doing this as well - I presume it is for the same reason, that I am releasing all the tension that has built up in me. (I may be wrong of course).
Sorry - a very long-winded way of saying that different medication may help!
