Want to introduce myself and tell my story!

[Linzola1]

hello all! My anxiety story is very intresting....It all began in June (around my sons first birthday) I had 2 or 3 episodes of awakening right after dozing off and just coughing! I posted a question on a different forum and they kept mentioning that I may have sleep apena but someone said maybe anxiety. I went to the doctor and they agreed but said it wasnt bad enough to do anything for the time being...

A few weeks later I had 2 anxiety attacks. Felt like I couldnt breathe and my heart was racing as well as I couldnt stop shaking. I went back to the doctor and never had them agian until September.. I had them on multiple occasions and then she perscribed me Celexa. about a few weeks before she perscribed me Xanax and I only took half and it knocked me out and with a 15 minth old that is not an option...

I have not began started taking Celexa and hate taking meds so still havent began it yet. I am a constant worrier and have had EKG and a Chest XRay and have had nothing show up. everything was normal. I still feel there is something wrong with me which is most likely the anxiety. ( I am scared about a brain tumor etc...) I keep having my feet fall asleep and awake in the morning with my arms asleep as well. I know this is normal but it bothers me! I feel like any time I have a pain something more is wrong! ( I hope I am not the only one who feels this way) I have had a CBC glucose test and a test for anemia.  

I have a depression problem since I was about 15 and was medicated for a long time. I have recentally began smoking agian after 2 years and wonder if this could be the main source of my anxiety! I have been able to make the current attacks better by breathing through them and they are not even 1/4 of what they use to be! I was told you do this to yourself and can stop them yourself too. I am working on that!

My father went through some anxiety and took Busphar for about a year and hasnt had one since! Is this common>

I feel like I am rambling sorry! Thanks for reading

anxiety is the most annoying thing i have ever had to deal with..the weird symptoms it can create make it seem like its impossible that its anxiety..for the longest time brain tumor was at the top of my list, cause i kept getting dizzy and all these weird sensations in my head and neck..my anxiety has just now calmed down since i been on Zoloft. how did the glucose test turn out. i had one and i have hypoglycemia and that can give u feelings of anxiety especially if you need to eat or are eating the wrong foods..also i would take the meds if i was you..when i started Zoloft i actually felt worse..its been a little more then 3 weeks and they are just starting to work now..i hate meds to and i almost stopped taking them a few times cause of how they made me feel..also smoking deff wont help..i finally quit and and it was deff for the better
