Question?

[Ster1974]

I am not sure if what I have is anxiety or not.
Symptoms that I feel when this strange thing occurs are: pressure in the head that I had to bite on my teeth and contract my muscles. Loss of balance when I walk, chest pain in different places, a pounding head, it is as if I can feel the pulse in my head. My head does not hurt, so it's not like a true headache, more of a discomfort. Difficulty breathing blurred vision and change in the quality of hearing, difficulty concentrating, my heart beats are different, they are more like strong pulses but nit fast, I feel that I need to run away!
My doctor thinks it is a form of anxiety, he prescribed Klonopin, but it is making things worse, I feel I can’t breathe at all when I take it, even in lower amounts.

Go back to your doctor and let him know what you're feeling.  I had originally been prescribed Klonopin and it made my chest tighten up worse...I was switched to Ativan immediately.  Ativan is gentle and you feel like yourself again.  Everybody brain chemistry is different so don't take something that isn't working for you...I'm sure your doc. would agree.  Get in there ASAP and stop your suffering.

Hi there,
You are sufering from aniexty and unfortantley when we suffer from anxiety we think silly things, so next time you take your tablet, try not to think that the tablet is going to make you feel worse, coz the more you think something the more it will happen due to the anxiety, this may sound silly but when I startedto have a anxiety feeling I would count to myself from 1-10 and the from 10-1 the more you focus on something else the more you will het the axiety under control.
Al the best
