Anxiety is controlling me...

[dtsambasis]

I have been having problems with anxiety/panic. I could not go out because of severe panic attacks. I went out today headed to Urgent Care but came home because it was so crowded. My heart was pounding, and i was shaking. I woke up this morning with heart pounding, and severe shaking that lasted all morning. Now i feel drained and out of it. My face feels hot, i checked and no fever. ( that's what it feels like) I feel like i am off in space around the house. Has anyone experienced this with anxiety?? I just feel on edge, and nervous. I am worried that i am going to die of some unknown medical condition...

I just went to the store tonight, i was daring. Well i cant say daring..because i have 3 younger kids and i HAVE to go out. I cant just sit here. Driving is usually a big thing for me, when i hit traffic, i get one bad. ( panic)...I feel trapped. Anyways, on the way there I was doing good, i got inside Lowe's, which i usually can not go to because its huge to me. I get in line, and I felt it coming on, my face got sooo hot, my eyes felt like they were shaking, i was struggling to see straight, got lightheaded, and shaky...i just wanted to run out the big doors. I tried to hurry the cashier as much as possible. When i got my change, i practically ran out of the store. I dont get the eye shaking at home, only when i go out in public. On the way home what do you know i was getting every light RED...i would almost panic sitting in the line of cars. I was sweating.....I made it home but now my face is still hot. Sometimes, i will come home and get chills..real bad. Tonight i also have a slight headache now, and my face feels flushed.

Before you can say it is anxiety, your doctor needs to run blood tests for your thyroid.  Hyperthyroidism can cause the same symptems as anxiety.  I was hoping that's what I had, but my doctor informed me today my thyroid tests are normal.  I don't know if that's good or bad.  It just means that I'm going crazy.  Still waiting for pills that work besides Ativan and a 4 oz martini.....not taken together of course.
