[Anxious01]

Good Evening All,

I wanted to get some help to see if what i am experiencing is purely anxiety, or if there is something else going on. Starting in August, I went through a great deal of anxiety and stress thinking I had contracted hiv. I went through almost 2 months of constant worry and high anxiety. I also had some stressers with work and my relationship. I have considered myself a co-dependant, where I was always at my best when I was around my partner. We got to a point where I was on top of him too much, and we needed some space. It was almost around this time that I started going down hill. I had some sinus issues late October, and went on some meds to help clear it. I woke up one day Mid november and felt really dazed and out of it. I felt as if I was in a fog. Since then, I have been extremely high anxiety about having something wrong with me. I have been to the ER 4 times in the past week for chest pains and facial pressure, as well as had a brain ct, sinus ct, upper endoscopy, been to a GI doctor and just dont feel myself.

Can anyone relate? Does this sound like anxiety? I still feel like I am in a daze, and not myself.

Thanks!

Can anyone relate to this?

I can relate big time, when you say you feel like you are in a haze do you mean like your eyes aren't working right, even though you can see fine!!! I feel like that all the time, I also had stomach issues which have subsided, but now my legs feel like they have something crawling under the skin. It's weird, apparently it is anxiety!! I am just starting to be able to let myself believe it because like you I had sinus issues, then I had terrible nausea and the derealization(haze) and I am just starting to feel better even though I find myself always feeling like I am short of breath. I am taking meds now and seeing a counselor as I was getting so bad I was running to the doctors and emergency every other day with a new symptom and thinking I had a disease. Hope you start feeling better soon. And use this sight often, it has helped me alot and I am very glad I found it.

Iam new to this but there are so many great people here who can help you.Let me just say i have been feeling like you for almost a month now.I have went 3 times to the er in past month in a half most recent last night...i always get these dizzy spells,heart racing,not wanting to eat,shortness of breath,headache and feeling like my brain is in a fog.The er did ekg heart xray and  everytime i go to the er thinking im having a heart attack or stroke they tell me my blood and all other test are fine.I know what your going through and your not alone.This forum is very helpful and there are some great people here.It wouldnt hurt just to make a apt with your Dr and let him no how you are feeling.I have my first Apt tuesday to see if it really is panic attacks.Im sick of going to the Er for 6 hours and them sending me home saying nothing is wrong with me.I need answers.
