My symptoms began about a week and 3 days or so never had problems with anxiety or anything never been stressed.....I went into the ER b/c my left side of my chest hurt when I breathed in and it wouldn't go away so they ruled it out as a pulled muscle and when I was there ( I was kinda scared that something might be wrong but all my test came back neg) b4 I got discharged i all of a sudden felt the urge to pass out my throat closed up I was short of breathe shakey sweaty cold my body went tingly and it happend a couple more times while I was there I was just resting there to be realesed and my heart rate was 48 and thats when I felt like I was gunna pass out then I paniced and my heart rate shot up to 150 and then back down and then back up but in it never went up that high again...but I kept feeling like I was gunna pass out the whole time on and off (its not a regular feeling I am gunna pass out not like when you stand up to fast its like hot water is being poured through my viens and I feel heavy and my head feels weird and cloggy and then I want to hit the floor and I start to panic and my heart starts pounding out of my chest b/c i don;t want to pass out. anyways I had a bad episode about 5 days ater leaving the ER went back to the ER b/c My symptoms wouldn;t go away it was constant dizzyness and constant feeling like I was gunna pass out and my chest hurt and was tight and it wouldn't go away once I got to the ER they took my vitals and I cried and told them that my husband was overseas and hes coming back and what not they never saw me but told me it was anxiety so i made a doc appt for the next day and saw my regular physican and she took my blood pressure ect and I ended up crying to her and she gave me xanax .25mg to take once a day as needed well it worked for the first 4 days and now its not working and also taking it to consideration my husband called me on friday and told me that they might now extend his stay overseas :( but I felt great the next two days and now its happening again. ANyways sorry for the long long post back. I think I might just see my doc tomorrow but its nice to talk to somenoe about it!

Remind me again of when your symptoms began, what they were, how long you've been on the Xanax and what dose.
I've been sitting here for nearly 8 hours and my eyes ARE crossed and I've got a raging head banger going.
Gotta get some fresh air and then we'll get to your concerns.
Your fine............anxiety.
Peace
