Tingling, dizziness, chest tightness. Totally freaking out.

Posted , 3 users are following.

Guys I'm really scared. All of a sudden I've started feeling trembly and dizzy. Tingling in head, tightness in chest. This has never happened before. What could it be? I seem to be breathing fine. No pains. Is this an anxiety attack? I've been stressed over an issue but I didn't think it could cause this effect. I'm traveling in few days could it be travel anxiety. Now my stomach feels tied up in knots and starting to hurt a little. What is this??? I can't get to sleep

      Thank you so much for your response. I am sorry you had to cancel your vacation. Just to update you, I'm feeling better now...just like you said - it passed. Maybe it was anxiety/stress or maybe my body was trying to fight the flu...it has been going around. It was extremely scary though. The shaking (trembling) of my body had me so scared. I am a naturally paranoid person so I instantly start to think worst case like maybe I've been poisoned or something irrational like that. Thanks for the advice about listening to calming things. Deep breathing is also recommended. I will try to get plenty of rest before my trip in 3 days.

      Dear Jan,

      Thank you so much for your reply. Yes, I am feeling better now, thank goodness. It was so scary! My body was shaking and I was light headed. Maybe it was stress/anxiety or my body was trying to fight an illness. Maybe I do need to see a psychiatrist and/or neurologist. Have you been to these doctors before? Thanks for the advice on the YouTube meditations.

      I'm sorry you have to go through it. I hope you get the help you need. I hope we both do.

      TAKE CARE.
