Is it really anxiety or am i dying!

[monkeybishop123]

Ok i need help, i cant live like this anymore. Ive been to the doctor so many times and he says he's 95% sure its anxiety, but i just CANT stop thinking its something terrible like in my brain or something? Is what im experiencing really anxiety? I just cant believe it. My symptoms are -
Headaches, Pressure on top of my head and behind my eyes, Feeling like im always in a dream, Heart palpitations, heart skipping a beat, chest feels hollow, confusion, fuzzy eyesight, weird rapid eye movements, electric shock feeling in my head, electric feeling in my hands/arms/legs, low pitched buzzing noise in my ears, depersonalization, always tensing parts of my body, neck cracking, sore neck, feeling on edge all the time, feeling as if the floor is moving, feel like i cant take a deep enogh breath, cant concentrate on anything, cant keep still, dizzyness, burning head.......

PLEASE let me know if you think this is anxiety!!! Im so stressed out, i was completely fine 2 months ago, how could this have happened so quick? Ive had a blood test, urin test and heart monitor which seamed to be fine. My blood pressure is normal too. I take 80mg beta blockers everyday, they slow my heart but thats all.

Does anyone know how to help me, it would be grate to just be able to sit still.
Thanks.

Thanks so much, I will defo look at that sight right now Yazzi.
Just wondering, does anyone else feel like their in a state of panic most of the time, like intense fear? I do get the panic attacks sometimes but i seem to be suffering all the time, anyone else like this?
Thanks again.

yes I can relate to feeling in a state of panic all the time, its pretty extreme niamac.  I too find myself running my fingers through my hair, just constantly nervous.  Its like my body can't shut down ever, and when I consiously try to relax, it gets worse.  Every little twinge, head movement, muscle spasm, vision difficulty, tense moment, I get nerve racked that its something horrible, and I look for my car keys, phone, pills, etc to make sure I'm close to help if I need it.  Constant stomach aches, diarrhea, every day, its just wearing me down, but I do like Mr. Green's advice, I am going to try some of that out if possible.  We are here for ya.

Its defently anxiety,
and i am with you right now.
i keep thinking the doctors are missing somehting and i have a brain tumor or something.
but i have to accept that these symtoms and thoughts are all ANXIETY.
horrible word, i know.
8 years of it over here.
and therapy is making it better.
i take meds, and im gettin on the way to getting better.
Mr. Green explained it pretty through, hes good by the way.
Its all anxiety, all in your head.
Just think positive, i know its hard. BELIEVE me.
but you gotta try..

Hello Niamac,

I read your posting and I am not a doctor, but I tend to believe that your symptoms reflect anxiety.  First of all, you did not say whether you are taking any drugs for anxiety. I am a certified hypnotist and I believe that your anxiety can be desensitized and that you can live a better life.  I suggest that you send me a message and I can talk to you about what hypnosis is and how it may help you.  If you would like you can watch my video you can get a glimse of how hypnosis works.  http://video.yahoo.com/watch/195439/1265875.  If you would like to learn more at no cost to you please contact me and I can refer you to a qualified person who works in this area.   Steve

I agree totally with MrGreen's advice. You are over analyzing what you are experiencing thus makign it harder to deal with. Anxiety is hard to cope with, making your situation wrose and causing other health problems. Like Mr Green said, take back your life.

I find deep breathing exercises help me a lot and writing in a journal. I literally have to take  astep back from my life and view my life as kind of an out of body experience, looking down on myself and I giude myself through the difficult time or the actual anxiety attack itself.  Doing this has saved my sanity and I havent' felt a pane of anxiety for well over one year now.

I know i should be fighting, i just wish i could believe that it is anxiety.
