Hey everyone! My name is Kile and I have had GAD for six years now:/ I do function quite well how ever (full time job, newly married, have a house....etc). About a year and a half ago I was doing great anxiety wise. My body was getting used to all the stupid sensations and junk that goes with having GAD then boom........I watch my friend pass away in a horrible accident at work. After that is when it seems my body went down hill. Ever since then I have been very hyper sensitive about my body and constantly thinking something is terminally wrong with me. It first started out with a double ear infection and CRAZY vertigo, then it moved on to me thinking I had MS, ALS, anything that ended with and S, I had. Well after going back and forth to the doctor several times and having test after test ran it turns I'm healthy as an ox......on paper. I still just can't believe anxiety can cause all the feeling I have very day day in day out. But I have accepted my fate and just deal with all of it everyday.
Ok now on to where I really need help. For about three months now I have been having trouble talking. It's not that I can't move my mouth or anything like that but when I try and talk to someone I can only speak for a little while before running out of air and feeling like I can't breath! It's okay in the morning but by the time I get home at the end of the day my chest and back hurts from trying to find enough air to talk! I have had my doctor tell me it's acid reflux.....went and had an upper GI, no damage shown. I've thought maybe I had cancer and I'm losing my voice, went and had tests run, no cancer. Thought maybe I'm having heart failure, had my heart tested, perfectly fine. Bottom line I'm pretty sure it's anxiety. It's just not going away!!!! I really just want to be able to talk and joke with people like I used to and not have to pick and choose words so I can say a sentence and not run out of breath. We'll thank you guys for reading this and I hope I can get some insight on what this is or if anyone else has or currently is experiencing this. Please let me know I want this gone now!
