HELP

[franceslee]

I suffer from anxiety but there are sometimes when I will get strange feelings....I have never passed out but it's almost like I am afraid I'm going to pass out.  I kinda get this weird feeling in the upper part of my stomach and it goes from there.  Do you think I could have like an anxiety about passing out??  I don't know why I am so afraid because I haven't ever passed out before.  Is there a way to know you are going to pass out?? .

I am not on any meds but I was prescribed valumn an zoloft.  I'm too scared to try them.  I go from being totally fine the my hands start sweating, my stomach gets a funny feeling an it goes from there.  I do hav blood pressure problems an of course I check it whn I'm feeling funny an it's high which scares me worse!  I just don't kno what to do??  R u on any medications or how do u deal with yours??

are you taking anything for your anxiety?

[carmen802]

anxiety can do lots of strange to your mind and body.Just remember it is not harmful or dangerous.

That is what mine said also,  I've had the worst back pain, I wonder if that is from anxiety??

[carmen802]

I was told by a therapist that you will not pass out from a panic attack. :)

Thankfully I haven't had the chest pressure, I would really be freaked out.  At least I know I am not alone!  Hope everything works out for ya!

Mine usually happens in the am but sometimes it will happen of an evening.  It really ruins my whole day, I don't know why I'm so worries about my health because the only health issue I currently have is high blood pressure which I take low dose mess for.  I just pray that I will eventually get back to my normal self again!

i always am afraid i have a brain tumor, so anything i feel n my head, i obsess over, and that makes it worse, and my eyes play tricks on me also, i feel like my eyes are going crossed or i cant focus on things, and then i think tumor again, then the lightheadedness starts!! its a daily thing, its worse n the mornings until after lunch, so yes, we can have anxiety over one health problem that we obsess over

Someone saying it to me makes perfect sense, but im driving my self crazy!  I'm nearly able to make myself go to work an when in home I just sit an feel liked life is caving in on me an afraid!  I just don't like when I'll her he unsteady like feeling an it arms like my back an neck muscles are so tense...guess maybe symptom of anxiety...

I am the same way My anxiety is sudden death.I fear it even though i know i am healthy because i have been to multiple doctors I fear they have missed something and one day I am just going to walk and suddenly die.I fear passing out and chances are your anxiety comes from that. I have never passed out either but am afraid I will. Anxiety is so powerful it eats you alive, but you must remain strong and sane. 1 way I have helped myself is by every time i get a panic attack I remind myself the feelings are the same as yesterday and I am going to be ok. Its a battle but you eventually trick your mind and it defenitely helps. Best of luck
