Taking over my life :(
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi everyone I'm new to this site and was hoping for some reassurances. I have been suffering from health anxiety for a few years after going for loads of tests and paying for them to be done I have finally accepted that all the symptoms I get is anxiety, I haven't had a panic attack for a few weeks up until tonight. As in drifting off to sleep I get what I can only describe as a surge of adrenaline through my body and it jolts me up, and sends me in a right panic every time I try to relax my heart feels like it's missing beats and it making everything worse ☹️.

Its basically a switch in your brain that is broken it is telling you your in danger when your not and the fight or flight mechanism
Medication is an option distracting yourself when attacks happen a good diet and exercise/meditation are all good.
Consider therapy it teaches you how to cope and manage it

Anxiety is a nasty illness but it cant kill you.
People have to train there brain that the symptoms they are getting are psychosimatic they are annoying they do stop us doing things but they cant harm us
For evample when my anxiety first started I used to crawl into bed thinking I was having a heart attack,after have lots of test done and and came back clear instead of crawling into bed I go for a brisk walk and it helps 100%

Believe me, Lynne I wouldn't wish this on anybody.
Diagnosed 14 years ago with depression an GAD, I'm still struggling every day...just lately never seem to have a good day.
I'm on medication so will talk to the pdoc when I see her in 3 weeks.
The only time I feel a bit reasonable is in the evening, maybe it is the thought of going to bed later.
take care enjoy your walks.
