hospital trip and anxiety
Hello everyone. Im a 21 year old latino male. I recently quit smoking about 2 weeks ago. I smoked for about 2 years, and i had 4 to 5 cigarettes a day. Well just last week i took a trip to the hospital, because i started getting chest tightness and shortness of breath, While i was in the car. So i went to the hospital, they checked my pressure, they did an EKG, and they took an X ray of my chest! The doctor came in my room, and told me i was healthy and both my lungs and heart were good. He told me i had a anxiety problem and i had a panic attack. But when i went home i still have the tightness of my chest and waking up at night with pains. Im living in fear that i could have an attack, and not wake up. I feel like i will never get better i dont even want to hang out with friends. Please give some insight, if i have something bad with my health. Thank you!
I was sick to my stomach and real dizzy, it kind of caused my anxiety to get worse. I need to do something, I refuse to live like this for another year!! I have to much going on in my life to be dealing with anxiety!!
".I only took it twice and it was a low dose and I cut it in half, I was so sick!"
You mean sick to your stomach or just more uptight in the head? Pharmacist said that Celexa makes some people get more uptight when their dose is too low, which had me concerned about how I would even be able to self-diagnose if I was getting more uptight when I first went on it.
I had already suffered 8 weeks with WB failing every single day around 5 PM when the world would just turn grey and scare the heck out of me. And that is after the whole day was mainly panicky anyway.

You really have me thinking...I think I need to make an appt tomorrow!! I want to be myself again!! I need to do something.
I should have added that the meditation book said to take meds to recover then meditation will work to keep you in peace.
There must be a lot of suffering people out there.

My meditation book said depression and anxiety keeps getting worse with time because it is like you are pulled underwater but deeper each time so harder to surface. Only a few remarkable individuals can come out of this kind of thing using meditation, so even that book recommends meds.
As my doc said when I wanted to quit after the failed Wellbutrin trials, "You need a med so you can remember what it is like to be happy again." She was right.
