Constant anxiety

Constant anxiety and fear
I hope it's ok to post this on here but am so desperate, I have had health issues for a while now, had 24 hour blood pressure monitor, having a 24 hour heart monitor next week as have a lot of chest pain, and have often massive panic attacks for which I have called the ambulance a few times, my issue is, I am so so anxious all the time, I keep constantly thinking I'm going to die, have headaches and think they are a a hemorige or something, I have these thoughts from the minute I wake up till I go to sleep, they will suddenly pop in my heAd like if I am telling someone I'll see them tomorrow I will automatically think " if I'm still here" I have a headache now and fearing terrible things, everything I do I governed by these awful thoughts, imagining my hubby and daughter not having me around etc, I ask for constant reassurance from friends that my headache etc is nothing serious and it's getting to a point I can't take it anymore, I have no polar and take an anti psychotic so I have to be careful about my stress. I really would appreciate any advice .

Im so glad I am not the only one. I have a fear of medications too and severe anxiety. For the past three days I have had palpitations and I know it is stress but I cant stop worrying about the smallest things.

I'm pretty new to this forum but not new to the symptoms you'll are experiencing, I to have gone to the ER many times with HR of 140 and over, chest pains, dizziness all kinds of crap. I had MRIs, blood works, spinal taps, stress tests, EKGs, echocardiograms, I think I have exhausted every avenue of course I've also gone to a psych doc that put me on anxiety meds and also depression meds, who wouldn't feel depressed after all this crap, the first time I had one of this panic attacks it scared the hell out of me   I thought i was gonna die but now I know what it is, there is a book that I came across that really helped me understand what was going on with me and I'll post the web address its a PDF, read it as soon as you can, this will save you a lot of money and stress of course I don't recommend that you don't go see a doctor but all of my tests were always normal and it just drove me to a point of hopelessness until I read this book, its free, All this fear is such a torment but if you learn to recognize where it stems from then you can find freedom.If you've been under a lot of stress and stuff that could be part of it, I was going through a lot of issues when I first had this happen to me and I'm still recuperating it takes a longtime for this to build up until our bodies say no more so you will have to be patient for your body to recover since it did not get to this level over night, also I highly recommend to relax and meditate with soothing music shut your mind up and breath in and out deeply and slow do this everyday for at least a good uninterrupted 15-30 minutes. hope this helps.

i feel the same way and i always get scared something bad will happen to someone around me or me....and i picture it and cant get it out of my head then i get o.c.d where i do or say something a certain amount of times or i think if i dont do it a certain amount of times that something bad would happen im 21 and ive had this since i was about 3 or 4  and i cant ever get it out of my head these thoughts r becoming more constant and my chest pain and heart palpitations are getting worse  and  my doctor recommended anxiety medication and said if i dont take it it will get worse and worse and it has. but i dont trust drugs or side effects they have 5 to ten years after u take the meds so i am lost just like u and dont know what to do anymore i wish i could help you but i just wrote you because its somewhat relate able to me
