Panicking Badly..

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hello.. Um, I don't know why I would have anxiety with a cold, but yeah. I'm congested and coughing right now. My throat feels like there's a lump in it. Plus, I feel weak, and my chest hurts. My heart won't stop beating hard. I have pressure in my head (mainly around my forehead and the back of my head). I'm having trouble breathing, too.

    I also have a flu and a cough along with severe anxiety sad it is horrible! Haven't been able to eat for so long either. Try to do some breathing exercises and get some meditation videos on YouTube, they help me calm down a bit when I'm like that. And if you haven't seen a doctor already, book an appointment X

      What really sucks is the fact that my uncle forgot I had a follow up appointment for 11am today, so he went off to his girlfriend's for the night and got drunk again. Now I have no one to take me. I'm sick of feeling this way. The meds I've been taking, aren't working now.

      Oh no! Is there any other way you can get there? If not ring the doctors & ask for a phone call from them instead so you can explain the situation. I'm in the same boat sad what meds are you on? I'm on day 8 of citalopram, the only difference I've noticed is I've lost my appetite & constantly feel sick! X

    You have probably gone through the worst of the cold and will be feeling better shortly. The first three nights are the worst and then it gets better. Stay away from decongestants they make everything race. Use saline spray and humidifier and warm showers. There is a product called sambucol. Its elderberry extract (purple box) been used for tons of years and its anti viral. It shortens colds and flu by three days and can stop one if used as soon as you feel ill.tastes good. Also if you have fresh garlic in the house throw like ten pieces and a few cut onions in two cans of chicken broth an inch of aliced ginger and two cups of water and boil it up and eat the soup through the day. Feel better.
