Swaiso

Yoga for beginners.
cold showers.or alternate hot and cold showers.
Pranayam
meditation.
Google the above and read and evaluate. Wish you best of luck.

I am so glad that I'm not alone, cause I've been going crazy with my stupid thinking hahaha okay so here are mine, sorry for my English:
*I always feel like I can't breath, like something is blocking my troath and pushes down on my chest (really often, not all the time tho)
*feeling like my head is floating, like it's really heavy and light at the same time (if that made any sense)
*I get bruises really easy and they won't go away
*I always think I'm going to die whenever I feel something weird happening in my body, like if my muscles tense or if my stomach is randomly aching again  I just prepare for death lol (ALWAYS, PRESISTENT)
*Always expecting a heart attack at any moment while I search on google for my diseas haha
*I ALWAYS have some kind of aching, on my back or my head or my legs or my arms, anywhere (presistent)
*sometimes it's way too cold for me in the next minute it's way too hot
*I'm often shaking or thinking that I'm going to fall (I don't know how I could describe this feeling)
*Feeling weak (presistent)
*Thinking that my ears are bleeding from the inside just cause they feel weird hahaha (very often)
*being tired eventho I got more than enough sleep (presistent)
*having a panic attack at the smallest things
*my hands, fingers and feet feel numb at the slightest things, like when I lay my head on my hands for a couple of minutes they start to feel numb
*I sometimes kinda feel like my veins are hurting or like something is blocking the blood in my veins from the inside (very often)
*feeling sick, like I need to throw up but then I focus on something else and it goes away
*I get itchy often on my arms or on my legs (presistent
*having trouble focusing (presistent)
*whenever I see a scene where the guy/girl in a movie is having a disea (like in grey's anatomy or dr.house and it's really detailed, I start to feel weird and think that I have that too lmao (always)
*when I watch a scene where a doctor is operating (again with the movie things haha) I just get this weird feeling in my body to the point where it's so unconfortable to watch that I start to panic again (And I wanted to become a doctor HA lol no, always.)
*whenever I try to force myself to sleep cause it's late or I don't feel good, I often panic again
Yeah well that's about it, I can't really think of anything else right now but I think that's long enough hahaha is anybody else thinking the same things as I do? Or am I just really weird alone? Hahaha

Hi everyone.

I've been experiencing these symptoms for the past 6-7 months or so, here they are:
My head has felt either light headed or felt heavy/sort of filled. Hard to explain (Heavy head feeling has been more recent). My heart has been racing. I sweat excessively at times even when I'm not participating in any form of physical activity. Pain in my chest (not as consistent as it once was) my vision becomes blurry from time to time. I feel as if I don't want to go anywhere or I'm skeptical of doing anything. A few more I may have forgotten.

I have a feeling it may be anxiety, but I just wanted to see if anyone could help me here!

Hi Guys,

I felt like I was the only one that had these symptoms. Mine are as follows

1. Feeling as though I am going to die from a heart attack or stroke.
2. heart palpitations
3. seeing floaters
4. feeling like something is pressing against my chest.
5. Sudden hot flash, just on head and shoulders and it goes through the rest of my body.
6. Constant yawning (regardless of how much sleep I have gotten).
7. Slight ringing in ear (usually brings on other symptoms).

I used to smoke and drink way too much caffeine but I quit both of those cold turkey almost 2 months ago, when my problems first started. It started at work and I almost passed out and when to the ER. Then I quit smoking and drinking caffeine, thinking that was the root of my problems. Now I cannot even hear bad news, as it starts out this pattern of problems. I am only 30 years old and the doctors think that I am some crazy hypochondriac but it does feel good to know that there are some other people who feel like me. What are some of the ways that you guys calm down from anxiety without medication?

I have headaches here and there
Tingles and twitches in arms and calves
Sometimes cramps
What if thoughts
Severe hypochondria
Thinking I have a disease and symptoms of it lol
And it's crazy because just 3 months ago I was fine until one night I chilled with a "friend" and he gave me an ecstasy pill. First and only time. Ever since then I been thinking I have a deadly disease although I've been checked. "Well what if it has snuck up on me" or my mind will tell me I'm going to die. Ive been put on buspo but I constantly check myself for new things to "Google" then it makes my anxiety rise. Ugh.

I just now saw your post, sorry it took so long to get back to you.

It was every day when it first started in Aug 2014.   Now it tends to come and go.  I can go a week or two and be fine, then it comes back for a week or so.
I haven't found anything that makes it better so I just try to live with it, which is hard when it's burning.  

My doctors can not find any reason for it.  All blood work is normal, MRI was done and it's normal, thyroid is normal.  

I just keep waiting it out....

I've had symptoms of anxiety and depression for years but a lot these ones have come on suddenly in the past few months, I think because of recent family problems and the fact I'm unemployed right now and feeling stressed :/

• Constantly waking up with panic attacks (shaking, nausea, heart palpitations, weird migrainey visions, dizziness, sense of unreality/feeling disconnected with everything, sweaty/clammy, feel unable to move because I might throw up, sometimes head pressure and achey pains) at night/in the morning, really unpleasant.
• Unable/scared to go to sleep because of said panic attacks, sleep used to be a relaxing escape for me but now I dread it.
• Symptoms made worse by by lack of sleep (the cycle of crap, everyone!)
• Always panicky, feeling like I'm gonna cry, nauseous, shaky, dizzy and off-balance etc.
• Never really feel like eating because of nausea, often feel nauseous when I do eat.
• Head feels pressured and "full", comes and goes always in different parts of the head, feels better when I massage the area but it comes back. Deep breaths also make it better and it's never there when I'm outside, also scalp sometimes feels sensitive and bruised if I press it. This one has only emerged in the last few weeks and I hate it, it's not even painful but it's a really unpleasant feeling.
• Racing thoughts
• Constant fear that I have a serious disease/am going to die that won't go away.
• Depression
• Fear of being left alone- I used to love being alone with my thoughts but now just hang around my mum when she's home, scared that something bad will happen to me when I'm home alone and no one will be able to help- always keep my phone charged up just in case.
• Don't like/see the point of leaving the house, don't really like staying home too much either.
• Don't like things I used to enjoy anywhere near as much as I did back in the day, stuff feels dull and uninteresting.
• Hopelessness about the future/no interest in life but huge fear of death.
• Feel tearful/lump in my throat but rarely able to actually cry- sometimes I feel like it'd help.
• Feel disconnected and dream-like, nothing seems quite real.
• Feel unworthy.
• Unable to relax anymore.
• Self-hatred.
• Afraid of everything.
• Not really excited by anything anymore.
• Feeling generally ill and not myself at all.
• Had bad labyrinthitis last year where I couldn't move my head for days without throwing up, room was spinning etc. Fear of getting it back especially when I'm alone and there's no one to help because I would be literally helpless until someone found me. A lot of the symptoms I've been having are similar to what I had before but milder.
• Hate being unemployed but feel I would be unable to do a job properly because I feel like a an anxious, exhausted bucket of crap.

Yeah, should probably go see a doctor with all this crap but in a delightful twist of events I am also terrified of doctors/any medical stuff/tests/test results. Isn't life just super? But I will need to muster up the courage if this keeps on because it's driving me crazy just recently, I don't feel like I can do anything and I don't feel like myself at all :/. Reading through this has been pretty reassuring though, I'm glad I'm not alone.

I have been feeling off for about 6 weeks and it started off with off balance, lack of co-ordination and then I developed flashing lights,zig zags,drips in my peripheral vision, objects around me and on the to moving. The doctor diagnosed me with severe health anxiety. He increased my citalopram from 20 to 30mg and now I am experiencing blurred vision on and off, been to the opticians 4 times, everything fine. Went up to a and e about the headaches and they took my bloods and did a ct scan, all normal, now I have to retrain my brain to understand there is nothing sinister but very hard.

For over a month after doing a cleanse/ diet tea. I started to experience; heart palpation, dizzyness, lightheaded, tremors, tingling in hands and feet, numbness in body, shaking inside plus vibration, uncomfortable breathing and lump in throat, low sex drive, sometimes feeling like I will faint, sleeping problems, no energy, vitamin d is low, potassium was low, pressure in head, ringing in ears, when I close my eyes I can literally feel
My heart beat throughout my entire body, when I get really tired and sleepy I close my eyes but I can't sleep Because I have this weird feeling of pressure in my head and body and when I open my eyes it's like I'm lethargic or drugged up. Sometimes i feel  weekness in both legs or wake up and legs are numb, my menstrual cycle changed.. My GP and endo did a lot of blood work and everything came back fine. But I think they are missing something. I've never been this sick before or suffer from anxiety. I have such a wonderful life always did I am not the type of person to be or get stressed. I'm so worried sometimes is wrong with me and the doctors are not catching it. I want to get a few test done to please my mind but it's so hard to talk to these army doctors. I want to get; Adrinal gland test, candida , magnesium, and Lyme... Some of these symptoms are not constant they come and go. But what's constant  is the vibration in body, uncomfortable breathing, light headed, heart palpitations, dizzyness  and leg Weakness. I've seen a cardiologist and they did an endocardium also have a holter monitor for 30 days but I think everything is okay with my heart because with the holter monitor if they catch any abnormal beat they would've call contacted me already. I don't knew what else to do but I'll be seeing a neurologists in s week or so to see what they can do to help me. I would love any advice I can get from you guys, I am really scared something is wrong. I  forgot what's it's like to feel normal and crazy ole me. Even though I'm so sick everyday I still don't stress about it because I know it will make me feel worst. I know its not anxiety. Any help from you guys will be great.

Do you get the burning skin every day ? Is it constant?

I have had that for a while now, it seems to come and go, but when its cold outside I feel much better, but inside, I usually have that feeling. Everyone else is freezing and I feel burning hot, but not to touch, just how I feel. Have you asked your doctor about this symptom?

I have:

*burning skin, head to toe.  Like a sunburn
*heartburn
*make mental checks of symptoms (what's hurting now...etc)
*headaches
*bursts of tears
*starting to fear going on trips (something bad will happen)
*fear of a disease doctors are missing (even had a brain MRI)
*horrible case of the "what if"s          
*I don't accept change well at all (mostly things I have planned)
*feel overwhelmed at the slightest bit of new responsibility.  
*occasional panic attacks: heart pounding, sweating, chest tightness, jittery, feeling like a caged animal, wanting to scream or run..which leads to a burst of tears and finally, exhaustion..can't keep my eyes open.  No particular trigger for them either.  I hate when they happen in a public place.

Thank you for all the posts, I have had very similar symptoms now for over a year, done all the right things to make sure I don't have health issues a doctor can help with and and have tried lexipro but only made it 3 days before I just could not deal with the side effects. Lorazepam in light doses has helped until recently and I fear going to higher doses will only kick up my emotional issues and depression. Lots of people ask for help but I don't really see any answers or suggestions on what has worked or what helps those like us with anxiety. Going to see a second mental health Dr next week but if there are things that any of you could recommend or other forums that you could point to I would be very grateful. This has rocked my world and I am more concerned about the others that count on me to support them. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hello Everyone,

I am making a doctor's appointment today because there is a lot I am worried about, but I found this forum and thought I would ask all of you what you think first.

For the past few years, I have a constant feeling of being hot. Not warm, but actually burning skin (like I got sunburned) on my face and hands only. This is the most frustrating feeling in the world. It only goes away when I am in the freezing cold, have my air conditioning blasting (even when its cold outside, people in my car are shaking and I am still feeling hot) or first thing in the morning when I am relaxed and laying in bed.

On top of that, I have random twitching in my left eye, stomach and under my left ribcage. (this has been happening more lately)

I also constantly feel like my heart is beating fast, I feel fluttering or bubbling in my chest (when I breathe and also when I am not breathing)

Every morning when I wake up I either feel nauseas, or gassy ( maybe because I eat late at night)

Every time I go out to dinner and just want to enjoy my night and relax, I start to feel hot again, sweaty, dizzy, band around my head, shaky, not myself, and just want to leave as fast as possible.

This is driving me crazy because all I want is to feel good. It is ruining my life. Once in a while I feel fine (relaxed, not hot, and happy) and I don't want to move or do anything because I don't want to mess up that feeling and just want to enjoy the few hours I have of feeling ok. I have been to the doctor so many times to check on myself (blood tests, everything) and they say I am fine (but I DO NOT feel fine) I feel like I have cancer, HIV, and so many other diseases to the point where I am feeling my lymph nodes all day to make sure they aren't swollen.

Last night I woke up in a sweat and that got me even more freaked out something is wrong with me.

I am 28 years old, have my master's degree, a great job, a girlfriend, played sports in college, no pre existing health problems, and this is just really embarrassing. I don't know what else to do! Please help.

I have an issue going on right now that has only started to happen off and on for a couple years now.  I'll be feeling relatively fine and then suddenly I have muscle twitching/painful spasms in the feet that, along with leg spasms help in keeping me awake all night, tingly and/or itchy skin, horrible insomnia, the inability to keep food or water down for no more than a couple minutes at a time, sweating, hot/cold swings, chest pressure, joint pains in certain spots, unbelievably bad shakes, and increased anxiety over the usual.  I'm normally a fidgety, anxious, shaky, anti-social person anyway, but those extra things kind of scare me.  I've seen a few doctors and they just chalk it up to general anxiety, and say I'm probably some sort of druggy as well and try to send me elsewhere or write a prescription because they can't or don't want to figure it out.  It happens for 2-3 days at a time maybe once every six weeks or so.  It's happening at this very moment, and I'm almost on day three.  I'm so looking forward to another sleepless night of muscle spasms and an empty stomach keeping me up.  Anyway, I'm sure there's more, but I'm so tired from going more than 48 hours without sleep or food or water that I can't concentrate anymore. I know this game off as a bit ranty, but I'm tired of doctors and dealing with this.  Thanks for taking the time to read and thanks for all your other comments.  I know we don't all share the exact same symptoms to the same degrees, but this has been the most helpful resource for not feeling alone I've seen.   Guess I'll go watch TV.
