Just read your article on yourself. I'm a little older now, just turned 46 male, but when I was 21 I started getting the same systoms you have. It started one day when I was at work. I started walking and felt so dizzy I thought I was going to fall. It wouldn't go away. I went to a hundred doctors with hundreds of tests, and nothing. Finally I had to start believing it was in my head. No way I said, I'm an all American decent looking guy, play sports, party, etc.. Well it keep going. I was like you, I quit going outside. I wouldn't go to the store, drive, anything. I started getting panic attacks, heart racing a hundred miles, for sure I was dying. I quit eating I was so messed up. I didn't want to live. What was the use if I couldn't do anything. My weight gort down to 70 pounds, usually 175. Then I realized I needed to see a Pschy. He put me on some medicine. At first it didn't work. Then little by little I felt better. I started going back to church and telling myself that if I was going to die, I wanted to be right with God. With that, I started to quit having attacks, and started to feel a ton better. One time a doctor told me to quit drinking, smoking and start taking vitamin B12. I mean masive dosages a day. He told me I wouldn't feel better right away, but give it time. By Gosh, 3 months later my symptoms went away. Then I started drinking again, etc.. It came back. So instead of getting back on the vitamins, I went to the Zoloft and Valium. Why, I have no idea. Today, I still have good and bad days, but I have learned to control it. Bottom line: I can almost bet you anything you are having anxiety, stress problems. There's so much that we keep in our heads and don't even realize it. For you and your little sakes, try figuring out what will work. Don't be afraid to go to a doctor and ask for some medications. Also, keep talking to your friends out here, we'll help you through :)

I was diagnosed with anxiety, Id get this feeling where Id feel like kind of "not all in my head" like i mean kind of slow..sluggish...kinda not all with it u know?  half here..yeah spacey would be good to describe it
I found mine was lack of a good sleep plus anxiety
Id have anxiety/panic attacks in class where id have like an adrenaline rush
and i did once collapse int he bathroom once i got there..

the tensing sounds like anxiety, since nerves..like nervousness..stress all cause it
and the more you think about it you could be causing anxiety attacks which dont let your body relax and you're on edge because you're worrying about it.
I have this thing where even if im sure im NOT thinkin about it, chances are i really am somewhere and it cuases issues.
once i went and got help from my doctor things got better it seemed.
so things are going better now once I was told what i was feeling was nohting to be afraid of.

just relax, deep breathing is good like inhale 4 seconds through your nose, hold for 2 and let it out slowly through your mouth.
repeat it, it really does help
close your eyes even and just let go and relax okay?

are you sleeping properly at night as well?  a good nights sleep made the world of a differnece for me, i was running on like no sleep for a long time.

Take it from people who have LIVED it...it is anxiety.  Until you get help for it it will NOT get better, in fact....in may actually get wrose.  PLEASE break the cycle.  Base...honestly...until you try to take that next step, what else can we do for you?  We cannot answer your questions the same way over and over.

I'm sad for you that you won't seek help.  

I'm hoping you have the courage to call the doc first thing in the am.

im telling you from the minute i wake up in the morning i feel like i cant get out of bed because i will pass out. i walk around all day with a spacey feeling in my head and i feel like i could pass out at any time. i wont go anywhere alone, no stores, no bars, nothin because i am to afraid i will pass out. all i think about is im to weak and im going to pass out. like right now im writing this and my head feels weird and i feel woozy. i been to the dr a few times and they cant find anything wrong with me but i still think there is. this is not normal to feel like this and i dont believe anxiety can cause these symptoms to last 24/7

how do you have all the same symptoms as me tell me more and dose this happen all day and do you ever feel like your heart is weak like slow like ist gonna stop workin and your just gonna drop

[peaches1982]

I think if you would try to stop thinking about all these symptoms they will stop happening,  I also think like I keep telling you you need something to take when you have these feelings.  I think all of us have gone through or are going through similar things and we are still here.  It took me almost 2 weeks to realize I wasnt going to die from my throat closing up.  But the dr did give clonazepam disintegrating tablets to take when I have an attack.  Maybe you should talk to your dr.  I know it is hard to relax but in time I think you will find a way.  good luck.

im tellin you man i got all your same symptoms and i guess the reality is its just anxiety causing all this
