Ill constantly be with my bf and ill say things like im dying this hurts this doesnt feel right and growing up my family said i was a hypochondriac so i never felt like anyone would listen to my health concerns they just told me i was fine.. My bf cant stand it he gets so annoyed. Wouldnt it be cool if someone would actually listen to my issues and not get annoyed..

Hey there! I am suffering the same as you. Always have chest pain and short breathing. My heart and thyroid tests say normal results but I can't help it, I'm always anxious, I'm afraid of dying. Prayer is the only effective way to relieve anxiety (if it is just anxiety). Well it's premature to be afraid now if you haven't undergo tests. Btw I am 23 and was hospitalized due to heart palpitations a while ago, thus my anxiety.

Hey I was wondering how are you doing now in life. Are you better? The reason I'm asking I'm a 20 year old male. And three months ago I had a panic attacks. I was on zoloft before this happened, but I tried coming off so I could join the national guard. And now it's Christmas day and I ha e been thinking nothing but except death for the past three months. It affects the way I sleep. So im trying to see how you are doing, and if your doing better what steps did you take?
Did you taper off or quit abruptly?  This could be withdrawal from the Zoloft you're experiencing.  You should make this a new post, as the post you're on now is old.

I feel your pain. I have been dying for a few months now and it almost never goes away. I feel pains throughout my body and I always think the worst. First, I thought my kidney was failing (I only have one), so I got it checked out. It was nothing. Next, It was a heart condition. Still nothing. And now, I'm on to bladder infection. I get so freaked out so easily. I've had panic attacks by thinking too much into it.

My advice? Turn on some "Zen" music, drink some tea (I prefer Green Tea), lay down, maybe use a heating pad. I do this every night and it helps to relax me before I go to sleep. Writing helps, walking, watching tv, hanging out with friends. friends are always the best answer!

Good luck! I'm glad to know I'm not alone!!

I never had anxiety like his yes I been a worrier just the normal stuff but now it's so bad I'm scared I'm dying like others said I've been dying for 6 months now lol. I was feeling great until 6 months ago 3 months after I got the nexplanon in . First 3 months were spotting for two weeks straight not bad at al concidering I used to have very heavy periods with severe cramps I'm talking pain so bad I would pass out if I didn't take Advil in time. Then they stopped it was awesome not having to deal with periods or pain. I was feeling really good up until August then the hell started I was rushed to the er my heart rate over 165 and bp very high I was so scared I thought I was gonna die. They did ct of my lungs cause they thought maybe I had a clot, did a bunch of blood tests did ekg checked my thyroid checked for any sign I had a heart attack all came back fine so they ruled it as tachycardia and gave me metaprolo. next week I was back to er for same thing they then think it's also acid reflux I've never had a problem with it before so I didn't understand it. Then a week later I'm back at the er same thing. I had to stop taking the metaprolo because it was causing me to have severe panic attacks. So They send me home with verapamil I take that about a week and notice my insomnia is so bad I'm up for or 24hrs the sleep about 4 hrs the next night then I'm up over 48hrs the next night I had to stop taking that cause I broke out with a rash all over my body. So they tell me to just try the melatonin to help me regulate my sleep and now my sleep is not bad I wake often but than god I can at least sleep a few hours a night. I've had so many tests done echo and stress echo been to two cardiologist. Had Lyme test lupus test parasite test glucose and liver enzyme tests all came back normal but the liver they saw it elevated so they did a hep test was negative so now they are gonna do an ulrtasound see why it's elevated. I've been on lorazepam now since sept. I use it to help me sleep which I'm slowly trying to get off that I'm on half mg I was on 1mg so not a high dose. But the symptoms I've been having since August seem to be worse I'm dizzy all the time I feel weak and pain in my muscles fuzzy vision head is so foggy and my thinking is so bad hard to concentrate on anything I feel I forget a lot. I feel this burning pain in my arms legs and chest. I feel so shaky inside sometimes. The lights bother me
So bad In the stores I don't even wanna go in them I feel like I'll pass out. I know people are gonna say it's all anxiety and I agree I'm getting anxiety but I think it's caused
From something else because I've never had this feelings until 6 months ago. And now my doctor wants to put me on an antidepressant I'm not wanting to go on that. I'm
I was wondering if anyone has experienced anything I'm going through while they are on the implant and if so were you able to go back to normal after getting it out and how long did it take. I have an appointment for it to come out in 2 two
Weeks it stinks cause taking it out is my last option besides the antidpressint and that's a road I don't wanna go down. It's working awesome for the cramps and pain as I don't get a period but idk how much longer I can take feeling like this.

The day I delivered my baby My pressure was high. Then I thought I was going to die and cried every day. 2 months after I had my baby my heart rate went to 165 and they did the exact same tests as they did to you. They had also given me metoprolol tartrate and the only thing it has done for me is not feel your heart pounding but it still goes up to the 100's. It's been 31/2 years and I still have high blood pressure and tachycardia. I also was told I have anxiety and was prescribed so many medications but I don't take them. I see a therapist instead. I been thinking I'm going to die for 31/2 years now. I haven't felt the same since then. Anxiety is powerful and will not let you enjoy life. Hope this helps some and puts your mind a little at rest knowing your not the only one. Hope all goes well in health.
