Okay just to start off im an 25 year old female,, im 250 lbs, 5'7", i have two kids having c-sections one at 16 years ld an another at 24 years old. Im a stay at home mom to a one year old boy an my daughter is 9. So this all started about the beginning of June 2013, i have always had anxitey an panic attacks, depression an bipoler disorder since i was 17. Anyways in June one day out of no where i started to get these attacks where i felt nothin of myself at all i felt like i wasnt in my body an my head/brain felt like it was doing something crasy? My chest would start to have this discomfort feeling in it an i would shake, sweat, feel like i was going to throw up, my arms would feel numb an it would go down to my legs at times. I went to the er for the three times an they did a ekg three different times an a chest xray once, they took blood for all different types of things all three times also but it all came back fine they said. I went to see my primary care doctor an she said that everything was ok with me too but yet i still felt as if there was somethin wrong with me.So after about two months of going through that which idid start myself back on my lexapro an zxanx when it started it did start to ease up a bit. All beside the chest discomfort an the feeling in my head like my brain was going to make me go crasy or something. No matter what the doctors tell mei still felt as if something was wrong with me i think im having a heart attack or got a blood clot or cancer or a brain tumor.? I dont believe anything they tell me an i try to go from doc to doc trying to figure out what it is but they all say the same thing to me they say its anxitey an stress/depression. Im always thinking about it like all day i sit an keep thinking when im going to start feeling everything an then it all will start to come on out of no where when im not even thinkin about it at all. Anyways, my chest will hurt on an off out of the day a feeling on the left side like a inch from the center its a real dull discomfort it feels like someone is pinching me ther thats how long its last its realfast but comes off an on for however long it wants. I been getting these dizzie spells lately but really i dont know if thats really what im getting or if itsjust me thinking about it all so much? I think im going crasy an my heart is going to stop iuno what to do anymore i have two kids that need me an im so scared please help me anyone. god bless

I have experienced all of that, and have chest pain as well. I think it's from lifting babies, and for me being overweight! I'm on Zoloft, and it does help, and I take Xanax when I need to relax. Go to anxietyc entre.com, and they list all symptoms and describe them. Very helpful! I have two children as well, and I had to go back to work to help with my anxiety. Staying athome full time can be very lonely at times. I think it's normal to feel that way, it's a hard job. I also started crafting and opened an etsy shop, and that took my mind off stuff. But, the anxiety definitely has affected my marriage, and friends because all I want to do is get reassurance that everything is ok. I hope this helps. Also, google health anxiety,and there are a lot of self help websites out there about how to overcome it. Take care!

I hate to sound like a broken record but this definitely sound like panic attacks/anxiety.  Do some research online to see if you have those symptoms.  If doctors did a chest X-ray and all those tests you should rest assured that its not something wrong with your heart.  Being a mom is not an easy job and can overwhelm you at times.  I am on zoloft for my anxiety, if you want to hear other people's personal stories with zoloft then go to drugs.com to read zoloft reviews.  You might read something that will relate to you.  Hope this helps

Take care of yourself!
