    I have experienced similar to this. I don't think you would be writing to us if you were having a stroke. One time on a job, I got very bad heart palpitations, dizziness, everything went bright and I had to sit on the ground to stop myself from passing out. I was sure I was a gonner but it faded away almost as quick as it happened. Anxiety is cruel.

    Hi ten

    We need to take this one step at a time, it sounds to me that you are feeling quite low at the moment, so perhaps that's a good place to start. Have you seen your GP about any of this?

    If you don't drink you will have a headache honey.

    Sit down today and maybe write down the things that are worrying you the most and perhaps later we can share them. big hugs until then xx

    Hi ten!! It is soo amazing to me that you wrote this because it honestly sounds exactly what I'm going through right now!! And I agree that it is so extremely scary, frustrating and tiring! I've always had some anxiety with just few attacks until Feb 28, since then I've been in the ER at least 7 times (in 6 weeks!). Heart palpitations, chest pain, weakness on left side, stomach and arm pains, numbness/tingling in right side of head, UTI symptoms but nothing shows on the multiple urinalysis'. Lost 17lbs (from 110-93), because I couldn't eat, would feel like if I swallowed I would vomit or I would feel extremely full/bloated. I've had 6-7 EKGs in the last month, echocardiogram, stress test, CT w/ contrast of chest, CT wo contrast of head, 4-5 urine dip/labs, several blood work ups. And today I'm supposed to get an MRI, but I don't at all want to do the contrast because I'm scared about my kidneys, even though my GP says they're fine (my last blood work on March 20 my creatine was .6 and kidney filtration of 118) which is good but doesn't help my fears, I've had pressure in my head, see dots or lightening bolts kinda when blinking etc, dizzy, off balance, short of breathe, not all at the same time but something everyday pretty much or a few symptoms a day. My GP says I've been tested extensively and that its severe depression anxiety and health anxiety. I'm on Propanolol 10mg twice a day for the heart palpitations and Citalopram 20mgs once a day for depression/anxiety. I just started the full pill a week ago and they say it can take 4 weeks or so to work, I'm praying it starts working soon though!! Please feel free to email me as it seems we have a lot alike and it's helps me knowing someone else is going through all these symptoms with no other explanation. I know it's a good thing that's nothing serious is coming up but these feelings are very hard to handle. I too have 3 children and a husband that's a liver transplant recipient and constantly praying to be well and not leave my babies. This is the hardest thing I've ever gone through in my life!!
