Constant impending doom for past several days

[anonymous680]

I won't go into too much detail, but I have been experiencing nearly constant impending doom the past few days. The feeling doesn't go away with even 2 mg of Ativan (which I find strange). The body calms down (pulse, blood pressure), but the doom feelingis almost always there. When I have that feeling I get in a nightmarish mental state and can't talk much. Ambient noise becomes overwhelming and just the sound of voices or someone talking to me makes me feel very uneasy and confused. My chest hurts nearly all the time. Been to hospital too many times with panic symptoms, but this is different. These feelings will randomly (temporarily) go away, and during these periods I feel relaxed and mentally normal. I am not depressed, but I am confused.

I am seeing a neurologist and psychiatrist next week. I can't stand this and don't know what to do.

I think i can relate.  Mine has been going on for over 6 months now.  It is very seldom now though.  I have had a very extensive cardiac work up and nothing found.  Lots of er trips, nothing found.  Check out my other posts.  My docs are saying anxiety.  It is hard to believe but this can happen when totally relaxed.  I have pain ALL the Time!  Only when i sleep or am busy and doing strenous activity or not THINKING ABOUT IT.  I still dont totally believe it but it is a very vicious circle i have heard.  

Hang in there and go see a psyciatrist or a counselor.  They MAY BE ABLE TO HELP YOU.

I wish you luck and hople you feel better.  Let me know if you find anything out or need someone to chat with.

Right now I am in a normal state. Feel fine. No anxiety. My mental states has been two extremes. Either I feel fine with no anxiety, or I feel like I'm going to die. I think something is wrong with my brain. Hope this weirdness goes away soon. Can anyone relate? It doesn't make any logical sense to me.
