Help meee plz this anxiety is making me go mad..

[shelley15]

Hi just need some advice/reassurance.. Past few weeks I have been getting sharp pain in my head mostly towards temples and forehead and the pains only last a lil while and they come and go.. It's affecting the right side more, and it hurts to touch my right eyebrow area it feels sore.. It's getting me worried make me think so eathing in my head is going to pop.. Also I get the feeling as if my heads being pushed

Hey sadia, I get this to I think its where we are tence all the time all of are muscles in are head send pains through your head, mine used to hurt more on the left side but now its my right side and I'm sure that's why I'm off balance and always walk to the right because my muscles are so tence in the right side of my head x

[sadia]

I know what you mean Shelly I'm exactly the same.. I've even got pain in both lower legs sometimes I have to push myself to walk.. Everyone says it's because the lack of walkin I do my muscle are not use to it anymore

[shelley15]

Yeah I wake up some days and my legs ache so much but I no its because in not using them because when I do walk it feels like I've forgotten how to walk its weird

[sadia]

Yh I'm exactly the same

[sadia]

Hi everyone, I've had this pain in my chest below my collar bones and through me breasts and armpits for over a week now sometimes it's sharp and sometimes it just feel sore to touch, both of my shoulders are aching and feel sore and today the whole upper half of my back is aching.. Has anyone got and ideas? A few people saying it might be my lungs? Which is scarey

Hi Sadia, See I'm never that far away. There is a muscle that runs from your neck all the way down to your back ( it is called the Trapezius Muscle). This muscle is quite easy to pull. Have your mom touch right below your shoulder blade ( chicken wing that juts out in your back ) right along( along) that bone it may feel very tense and knotted ( tight balls of knotted muscles) you will know when she touches it that this is the spot. The best thing to do is warm showers and aim the spray at that spot, massage and Advil ( motion) this muscle when pulled causes referred pain in a lot of spots. Lungs ??? Maybe but that would be Pleurisy ( slight infection in the Pleural lining- I think probably not unless you have a fever ? ) I think this is muscular because as I have said before anxiety sufferers always have their muscles in a " flexed state" and never relaxed and this is not healthy for muscles ( they tend to become overworked. Feel Better and let me know how you make out with this. Did you get out this week at all ? XX

[iwouldicould]

hi sadia,
it is recommended to see an expert to check your lungs and health. don't wait till the last minute and take things for granted.
take small steps daily to reach your goal. everyone who suffers from anxiety has made it without any substances, i believe we all can., it is just small steps daily and never giving up the challenge to overcome it.

Hi JUDIE.. I have no fever at all.. It's just a lot of tension in my shoulder especially right one as it begins to ache when I use it., and slowly the pain moves down my back.. And I feel it a lot in the front of my chest below the collar bone all the way to my breasts.. I was telling some and they said shoulder pain and chest pain could be a sign of lung cancer or embolism but I'm sure the pain from that would be much worse right? I went to our town centre (mall) the other day with my little sister for an hour or so did some quick shopping.. We've had a lot of rain all week so I've not really been out

[Judie]

Sadia , It is common place to go to a worse case scenario with Anxiety Disorder. It isn't Lung Cancer and Embolisms don't randomly occur in 27 year olds. Embolisms ( Pulmonary- Lung ) usually follow surgery ( and that is " RARE" where a clot breaks off from the site and " travels" to the lungs) This isn't that. I have had several breast cysts ( harmless fluid filled non cancerous lumps that follow you cycle- these can cause referred pain like you describe ) Also please keep in mind what anxiety does to your muscles ( tense them ) and this is the reason all of you guys have trouble with " wobbly legs"..your muscles are in a tense state and you are hyperventilating ( unknown to you ...you can't always feel yourself hyperventilating and it is extremely common... it's simply shallow breathing ) and because of incorrect breathing you ARE NOT feeding your muscles with enough OXYGEN ( ..DEEP BREATHE and practice it everyday, even if just for a few minutes. Did someone on here tell you that could be LUNG CANCER ? ( at 27, no weight loss, and lots of anxiety I think not.....and if that were the case that would mean that all the other symptoms you have have been anxiety BUT this newest symptom is something different ? NO that isn't the case, this is just anxiety wearing a different mask. Do you see how the anxiety is refusing to let go of the grip it has on your mind ? I had a horrible shoulder last winter from swimming ( backstroke) Most likely it was my Rotator Cuff...the best thing to do " always" with muscular or tendon pain is to rest the area. Is there something you have been doing that is different ? Especially overhead ( painting, cleaning etc...) Just rest I promise this will feel better in time. XX Good for you on getting out :) How was that ?

[sadia]

Hey JUDIE thanks for that explanation I needed to hear that lol.. No I haven't been doing anything different from the usual days, it could because I've had a few rough weeks and it's catching up with my muscles now.. That's what I'm thinking anyway.. Getting out feels good, takes my mind off always thinking I suppose, just need to push myself to get out on my own.. What have you been upto? And news on Lin? Xx

[Judie]

Sadia, I know you well by now but above another member suggested that you see a DR to rule things out. Perhaps you should do that but the " rule of thumb" is that it most probably is anxiety related given the last few months and our journey together :). Yes, getting out will help you feel better and it will give your mind a much needed break from the focus on anxiety. You are doing really well, given that your trips outside are coming closer together and that is true progress. I think sometimes it is important to reflect on just how far you have come in the last few months. You are gaining confidence and knowledge of the disorder. Yes, people with anxiety do get physically sick but during acute phases of anxiety the problem "usually" is psychosomatic, not that the pain isn't real but it "usually" has a psychological origin or root cause. In response to the above..should you go to the DR to check out what may be wrong...sure BUT should you assume a worse case scenario ABSOLUTELY NOT and the " don't wait until the last minute" is a little scary for a health anxiety person. Psychosomatic illness ( Panic Disorder) is very tough because yes as iwouldicould suggested often times it is best to see a DR ( stomach ulcers, Irritable Bowel, Migraines, Rashes on and on... all are PSYCHOSOMATIC ILLNESS that require a DRS care HOWEVER accepting that not all aches and pains are a symptom of a serious disease is equally as important when suffering from a " diagnosed" Anxiety Disorder. Sadia, you have been through a lot in the last few months, you are doing really well ! I am fine, thank you for asking. Stomach Ulcers are back but that is just one of the many masks :) Be Well ! See the Dr if you think that will ease your mind XX

[sadia]

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning so will be discussing things with her,, I've realised that when I see the doctor the pain seems to disappear sometimes and something else pops up lol.. So most of the time I do think its anxiety related, but I've become that person who can not rest until I find out for sure lol

It's all about the Lorazepam.

Hi.. first of all you are not alone, this condition feels very frightening, because it is new to you. I bet you feel you are not in control of yourself anymore. Fear or preceived fear has different effects on people. I thought the world was a scary place, but not no more.
You are not going insane or losing it. It just that your brain handles adrenaline in not the right way in this modern society. It,s called the fight or flight response and yours is just a little out of balance, your mind and body are over reacting to ever day situations. What is over whelming to you isn't to most others . Try deep breathing techniques and meditation to calm yourself.
There,s lots of books on the subject,this condition effects millions,so as I said your not alone in this fight,just ask for help it,s out there.

[sadia]

STEVYWUNDER I feel exactly that way, everyday I try to fight to, and some days it just takes over me.. But I guess every day I'm learning how to deal with it and recognise that it's just anxiety

[casstar01]

Hello, I'm new here. I'm hoping to connect with others like me. I suffer with severe social anxiety/social phobia, generalized anxiety disorders. I feel so alone, lost, and scared that I will never be able to overcome this anxiety that rules my life! I have suffered from anxiety since I was a small child. I'm taking low dose of anxiety medication which helps but not enough. I constantly feel inferior to all others. I feel like such a loser and am always looking at others wishing I could just be "normal". My anxiety controls me it's like I'm paralyzed inside myself and I just don't know what to do anymore, I feel like my life is being waisted away. I want to be able to go out and meet people and just enjoy life. Feeling lost...

Hiya hun, I know what you are going through you are not alone in this, I suffer from anxiety, agoraphobia and health anxiety.. Maybe you should ask your GP to higher your dose of medication, and you are not a loser.. It's the anxiety making you feel like that, you have too keep reminding yourself it's not you it's the anxiety making you feel like this, I have to constantly remind myself of that.. Have you got any physical symptoms? X

[casstar01]

Thank you so much Sadia for replying!! It means a lot. Yes I do get physical symptoms. My heart races, my palms get really sweaty, and I get this weird feeling all through my body which I can only describe as serious butterflies, expecially through my hands feet and stomach. I even have a hard time moving or walking when it's really bad. I just seem to freeze. I also have suffered with agoraphobia so I completely know what your going through with that. I still get weird about leaving my apartment but am still able to get out most of the time.

[STEVYWUNDER]

Hi sadia this is stevywunder,i will try and help, i know how you feel, and the desperation you are experiencing.
First how old are you, and what meds are you taking for it.

[casstar01]

Hi stevywunder, this is Cassatt, I got a reply from you but it's addressed to Sadia. Did you mean me? If so, thanks for your reply just hearing others say they understand helps soo much! I'm taking clonozapam-1mg a day. I know that's not very much but my doctor seems to want to keep me low as long as possible. I have a back ground of substance abuse which may also be a reason but I'm not sure.

[casstar01]

Oops just noticed I said cassett but it's casstar.

Hi Casstar I know I get those sensations aswel, I also get a lot of body aches which make me feel like I can't walk.. But we have to reassure ourselves that it is anxiety and nothing more we can over come this.. Friends on this forum have helped me a lot, trust me u are not alone x

[sadia]

I'm 27, I'm not taking any medication even though I'm prescribed to trazadone.. Medication isn't for me to be honest

[STEVYWUNDER]

Hi again, sorry about the mix up , i,m new here too.
Ok... now that I have the right person , just a couple of more questions , i just need to get a feel for who I,m talking too. Hope you don,t mind.
But first I will tell you about myself to put you at ease. I,m from a small town called Atwood it is in Ontario Canada. I have lived here all my life . I have had this condition since I was 15. I though I was the only one that was this way, but over the years I realized that was not the case, there are lots of us as it turns out . You will be glad to know that I have been cured of the anxiety , depression, and fear that makes things seem hopeless, but trust me it is not .Think of it as this, i,m sure that you have suffered from a really bad flu or cold, if you did not know you would get better, because everybody gets the flu and cold and eventually gets better, you would think because of your symptoms, I must be dying .The cold or flu runs it,s course and you get over it, that simple right. This condition is no different. Having said that it,s not quite that simple , you can get over the cold and flu by yourself , but you need professional help on this one and guidance from someone who knows what you are going thru. Hope this makes sence to you . I,m going to send this off for now but will be in touch, just hang in there Ok,help is on it,s way.

Hiya I totally understand where you are coming from and agree with you that it is not as simple as that.. I was much worse 7/8 months ago could not even go to the front door.. I have improved a lot but sometimes have set backs which take me off the right teack

[sadia]

Hiya everyone, just need some advice I've been having tingling sensations in my buttocks running down through the back of my legs and the front, plus when the tingling stops the aching begins in the back of my thighs and lower legs.. The ache feels like I've been working out for days and feel achy..for a few days it was hard to work.. I've been like this for five days now.. I went to the doctors today told my GP and she said it could be just one of the affects from my thyroid meds or my anxiety making me feel like this she told me to keep my eye on the tingling.. The tops of my arms are also feeling like that and my palms tingle and feel stiff.. I just don't understand it came on all of a sudden and is not getting better I even asked her could it be MS because muscle aches are common she said yes but your symptoms sound very different.. I'm just scared because it hurts when I walk

[casstar01]

Hi Sadia, I'm not sure I can be of much help but I can try. My fiancé knows a lot about thyroid stuff because it runs in his family plus he was the first baby that ever lived after being born without a thyroid and raised on synthetic and armor thyroid. I get that weird tingling on my butt and down my legs and in my arms and palms almost every morning as I first wake up but I don't get aches. So I asked dan-my fiancé if he knew what was going on or if he experienced anything like that. He asked if you have brittle hair, or ever have a racing heart for no reason (aside from anxiety), is your skin sensitive to the touch, or when you press down hard on your finger nail if it takes more than a second or second and a half to turn pink again then that would Indicate issues with your thyroid and you need a TSH panel. He is curious what type of thyroid med you take but if your not comfortable disscussing that then that is perfectly okay. Casstar01

[sadia]

Hiya no I have none of those other symptoms.. I suffer from overactive thyroid since feb this year I am on 5mg carbimazole

[casstar01]

Hey Sadia, so Dan said that the tingling and aching both sound like a result from the HTP (the meds) because it's zapping your body of things like iron, amino acids, and protein. Maybe you could ask your go for supplements like a pre-natal (you don't have to be pregnant to take them their just good vitamins-I take them and am not pregnant). I hope very much that this may help you. :)

[sadia]

Thanks hun, and say thanks to dan.. Hope your doing well

[casstar01]

No problem!! Dan was very happy to help :) I'm doing okay having anxiety but not too bad ;) think I'm going to take a cat nap! Hope you get all this figured out so u can feel better. We all have enough to deal with as it is with our anxiety! Casstar01

[sadia]

I've had this burning tingling in my legs for a week now. And it's even happening in the top half of both of my arms aswel.. My feet are tingling aswel, pain and weakness feeling in my legs just not getting better making me depressed

[sadia]

Since the past hour I've got this tingling on the tip area of my tongue and underneath my tongue.. Any ideas of what it could be? Could it be a stroke?

[sadia]

Can anyone give me any information on fibromyalgia? Symptoms? How long flare up lasts? What's the pain like etc.. Please it would be appreciated

There is a list of symptoms on National Fibromyalgia and chronic pain association. When you get to the sites look up the one that says welcome to the National... Recently her group renamed the NFMCPA, which has the capacity to represent the Fibromyalgia.....
Read all the info completely.. may help you?
I use Tramadol for pain (prescription) it somehow has helped with my anxiety too, and also lorazepam .5 mg as needed, prescription also
Exercising and getting the proper kind of sleep goes a long ways to helping the symptoms.
You should go see your doctor about this, there are tests to confirm it, a specialist is best.
There is no cure, it's a condition you live with, and manage. I have 3 cousins and my mother and sister have it, "Hereditary", but not always. It's rare for men to have it, more of a female problem.
Hope this helps??

I saw a post you posted about your meds working great for you ect... Can i ask what meds they are? Im going back on meds and i took Celexa and Effexor before and felt they didn't do much :(
Im soo curious as to some new med options to ask my Dr about.. Thanks :)

[sadia]

Hoya can anyone give me some night please, I've had a temperature, swollen tonsils, burning throat since Sunday, and when I eat my stomach feels upset, and I have been checking my blood pressure these past few days and it's been normal, averaging at 110/68 but my heart beat has been 102/104 which has got me worried is it because I'm fighting a bug at the moment or something else?

Hi... I take Tramacet, which was prescribed for my Fibromyalgia condition.
Depends what country your from, in the U.S. it's called Tamadol same stuff just a little different trade name.
It's basically a mild form of pain killer, typical dosage is 50mgs maximum 200mgs in 24hr period. A warning thought can't be taken if your on any kind of ant-depressants.
It helps my Fibro condition Ok, but the weird side effect is that it has gotten ride of my anxiety completely.It has been documented that it does that for some people that take it. It is never prescribed for anxiety and related conditions because it is meant to used as a pain killer, and addiction can be a problem.Not sure how long I can stay on it,but for now it sure beats the hell out of what I was like before.Hope this info helps :)
My friend Ali thinks I should try vitamin D therapy, he has been posting about it and has helped his condition. I'm going to give it a shot when my script. runs out in a couple months,if it doesn't work I can always go back to my old meds.

[STEVYWUNDER]

Hi sadia, sorry your not feeling well.
I'm from across the pond,Ontario Canada.It is very cold and snowy right now, I'm starting to hate the cold,it makes me feel miserable.
Sounds like you are suffering from the flu bug all right.Not much anyone can do about that,just drink plenty of fluids and rest and eat what you can to keep up strength and let nature take its course,is there someone that can watch over you.If not go to your doctor and get checked out.If you start having trouble breathing, like wezzing or shortness of breath ,don't let it go,because you don't want to have pneumonia set in.You may need ant-biotics for that.
Get well soon :)
p.s if your having trouble eating enough,try a liquid nutritional drink like Boost or Ensure.Have to keep your strength up so your body can fight off the virus.

[sadia]

Hey thanks STEVYWUNDER.. Just spoke to my doctor on the phone she said sounds like a bacteria bug and to fight it out another few days and if no improvement ring in again and will give you anti biotics.. She said I can get some soluble aspirin from from the pharmacy to gargle to help with my throat.. Just got to fight it out.. I know it's freezing here aswel but we haven't had any snow yet xx

[STEVYWUNDER]

OK sadia take care of yourself and you will better in no time, but it usually takes a week, so hang in there.
Hopefully you will be over it by the holidays.
Have a Merry X-mass and Happy New Year!!
Your friend from CANADA Steve :) oxx

Hiya everyone hope your al doing well.. I'm soo nervous today, it's been about a year since I have seen my best friend and we are meeting today, I am very anxious at the moment don't know what's going to happen, I have cancelled on her so many times and can't anymore.. It's making me think it's the last time I will see her or that I won't return home..

[usmanali09880]

I'm really sorry to keep posting.. But do your eyes feel sensitive?? And after I cry my head feels really spaced out and wobbly like wobbly legs if that makes sense
...hey sadia ...don't worry your anxiety will go away....i had anxiety too and know how its feel...you want to do something but you can't and it sucks...remember it's all in your mind...it's not real...I guess you are having anxiety because you think too much of future which leads u to negative thoughts...try to hangout wit friends... Try to stay in the current moment...no one knows what will happen in future so do what you love...

[sadia]

Thank you for the advice that's what I will try and do x

Aww I'm so glad you had a good time though so happy you managed it, I don't blame you I hate buses. I'm going to try and get on the bus next week and go to the town on my own I'm really scared but I just want to do some shopping!! I haven't been on a bus since September and I had a panic attack and had to get off and the last time I went shopping in the town I got in the shop door got really anxious thought I was going to collapse and ran out!!

NixonRulz, I've only just joined this site today, Jan. 29, 2014, and am just beginning delving into the forums and the many threads...but this post of yours brought me to tears because it resonated with me SO strongly. Although you wrote in response to the OP, everything you wrote was what I desperately needed to read and I'm so thankful I found this site today. I think there really are no coincidences in this life. THANK YOU for your post and for the wisdom and experience you shared in it. The last two sentences especially is an aspect of my anxiety issues I'm struggling with very much (wanting to go back to "who I used to be", even though I know that person is gone). Please know how much your words helped me today. And again, thank you so much.

Although you wrote in response to the OP, everything you wrote was what I desperately needed to read and I'm so thankful I found this site today. I think there really are no coincidences in this life. THANK YOU for your post and for the wisdom and experience you shared in it. The last two sentences especially is an aspect of my anxiety issues I'm struggling with very much (wanting to go back to "who I used to be", even though I know that person is gone). Please know how much your words helped me today. And again, thank you so much. Stephanie

Hiya I hope you are well.. I struggled immensely at the beginning of last year I honestly thought my time was up.. And it's true you do lose the person you are, but if we work hard at it and focus we can get that person back.. I hope you are well and feel free to talk whenever you want xx

Yeah I'm finding it much easier to go to the local shops now, I don't get as anxious but my symptoms are still there like feeling faint and blurry eyes but bad thoughts don't pop in to my head as much and the shops are small so I no I can get out if I need to, how have you been finding going to the local shops? I will let you no how I get on when I get the bus next week I just want to go in to one shop and come home again, I just want some new clothes lol let me no how you get on when you get the bus x

I can manage the local shops just about, always think I need to get back home but I get through it.. I'm going to try and get on the bus real soon haven't been on one in about a year so need to give it a go at some point and I will let you know hun

Hey Sadia,

Today I saw your post for the first time. It´s been a long time since your initial post, can you please tell me in a nutshell how it has been going? Was there any kind of progress? Is your anxiety better now?

Hey just got your message.. There's been good progress I've been doing a lot better then the initial post, I am able to go out and stuff, but sometimes I still can't be alone.. Along with the anxiety I have developed IBS and fibromyalgia.. Which is a pain in itself.. I've never felt the same as I used to be but I am feeling better.. How are you? X

Hiya I hope everyone is well.. Just wanted to ask if the sciatica nerve just causes pain down the back of the legs or can it cause pin down the front of the legs into the feet? Any information would help thanks xx
