Hi I'm a 28 year old mum of 3 i am a New Sufferer to Anxiety I've seen that people have been going through this*for years,where as i have only been living this nightmare for 6 Months. It all started when i suddenly started Having chest pains i was Terrified and Ended up in a&e, Long story short Nothing was found the pain went on daily and started Having pains Down my arms. Two trips Later to a&e and Several trips to the doctors my gp has put it Down to Neuropathic pain. The Problem is i can't help thinking it's my Heart causing all this so i am in a constant state of worry and Panic to the Point where my family is on the Line my partner doesn't Understand why for most of the day i just sit in a daze, he thinks I'm overreacting when i break Down When he says he's going out because I'm Petrified of being left on my own, it's Taken over my life I'm Taking Pregabalin for the neuropathic pain Which helps slightly but the Anxiety Just won't let up Just don't Know how to go forward with my life between the pain and the anxiety it's such a struggle.
So that's my story hope to share many of yours.

Hi there and welcome :)

I'm one of the people who have been going through it for years. Decades in fact.

Pregabalin is actually used for anxiety as well. I've been on it for pain but it helped me sleep as well. I think it's quite a good medication.. Perhaps you should talk to the doctor about using it for anxiety eg. increasing the dose.

Anyway all the best,
