Hello again.

Posted , 6 users are following.

Hello again, so I just thought I'd write on here again as I'm struggling but trying to power through. Some of my physical symptoms have seemed to change...basically my story is that I was diagnosed over a year ago with anxiety...I've practically dealt with it on my own, no medicine minus the first 8 weeks after being diagnosed. I believe I have medical or illness anxiety? I seem to think the worst in every feeling or ache and pain etc that happens to me. The last couple of weeks I can't budge from my mind that I'm going to have a heart attack as I get tons of tension in my shoulders, arms (especially my left) and chest (especially over my the heart area) I keep thinking I have a clot, heart disease and everything that is life threatening. Can anyone to relate to these symptoms? I also get a lot of pins and needles in my left hand & the sicky feeling evey now and then. They don't all come at the same time though, I've had bloods, ECG & HOLTER monitor done...all clear. My thought train of worry began after what I thought (and keep telling myself) was a anxiety attack and suddenly had severe heart palpations (never had them before with anxiety) & now I can't seem to shake this worry of the worst to do with my heart. I keep getting this practically all day inner shudder too like a tremor? If anyone can help with advice or relate that would be brilliant. I just feel down and keep telling myself it's anxiety, but  it just won't shake, I keep getting a feeling of tight or tension I guess over my heart, it almost feels bruised to touch or when the muscle is used, 

Any help would be amazing. 

Thankyou.

    Everything you have I am having I have had it to he point I've called paramedics, I have suffered in the last few weeks of clouded memory it feels as if I am in a dream or my head is under water and ears need to pop, I cannot focus my eyes won't focus right and I see black floater dots.... Very worrying I have the odd moment when I feel sort of ok but feel even worse if I am on a shop I need to get out feels dizzy.... I have tension in my head really bad thinking I have something wrong with my brain and tinitus that is more louder than ever... I used to be involved with music so I've had that from a while now.... I do am hoping this will pass it can effect your life only if we let it, I find it amazing how we sufferers can easily give the advice we know to be true but taking our own advice seems pretty darn hard.... Wish u all the best with your fight.,,,
