PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS!! MY STORY!
Posted , 13 users are following.
I've had physical Symtoms for 7 straight months 24/7 every day ever since my first panic attacks will they every day and I'm sick of them just want them to leave my body my Symtoms are.
Tightness in chest 24/7
Feeling I can't breath of get enough air 24/7
Shaky legs
Heart flutters all day long feel like I can feel I my heart beat at the back of my throat 24/7
Derealization 24/7 feels like in seeing the world with a piece of glass in front of me like everything isn't real anymore
Feeling faint everyday
Waking up in the middle of the night with a choking feeling as if I stopped breathing for 2 3 seconds and find it hard to swallow
Tingles
Hyperventilating every day soon as I go out or at doctors waiting for appointment or at mental health clinic waiting for appointment
Can't catch my breath
Fell like I'm going to stop breathing any minute
Feel I notice my breathing more each breath going in and each breath going out don't know what normal breathing is anymore!
Anyone else feel like this I'm losing all my will to live I feel like I'm doomed and I'm going to feel like this for ever only posted a few times on here since finding this site, I'm only 26 year old male who been through a lot. I've been checked over by the doctors physically but no tests done and said anxiety panic disorder currently receiving CBT therapy and my therapist thinks it's panic disorder but I'm not convinced without further testing on heart lungs etc just to rule anything else out etc I'm also on mitrazapine. I'm losing my will to live, I'm not living anymore just existing with all these Symtoms going on my I feel my GP won't listen to me won't give me testing etc on heart lungs how can he be convinced it's anxiety? I never used to be like this before my panic attacks is this normal to feel this way everyday? I just feel there is something else lingerin in the background that needs checking to put my mind at rest then I can get my head around it's anxiety panic disorder. At my wits end can't go on like this anymore driving me mad I used to be really sociable but ever since all this happend I have shut my self away from the world for 7 months only go to appointments and walks on my own etc. Thanks for reading all replies and advice appreciated🙂

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to chime in and let you all know my experience. Ive had exactly the same symptoms as everyone here for 13 months now. The thing that brought it on was the epstein barr virus (the virus that causes mononucleosis/glandular fever).
I know it might be hard to believe that i virus can cause all of these symptoms, but if you visit mono/glandular fever forums you will find a lot of people with the same symptoms. Also look up post viral syndrome with derealization, tingling, weakness, fatigue. It's all there.
I never had an obvious sick acute stage.. my symptoms came on slowly. Derealization and weakness, ibs were my first symptoms. Im so thankful that my doctor tested for epstein barr virus. Its crazy how many people have these symptoms from this virus but how little known it is.
