Hey all! first time posting in any sort of anxiety forum. I just wondered if anyone feels the way I do. My anxiety is generalized, but mostly centered on my health. my heart, getting sick, dying...etc. It got so bad at the beginning of the year I finally broke down and saw my GP, to make sure I was healthy, which I am, for the most part. I take Effexor XR daily. but I still feel it. It comes on mostly when I'm in the car, or at night. I drive about an hour each way to work so I spend a good chunk of time in the car! I don't want to say it's a panic attack, but I get very nervous all of the sudden, and I almost start to feel like my chest starts twinging and my breathing gets a little harder. While I"m driving, mind you. It's not enough to put me out of commission. But it's enough to where afterwards I feel almost ill. like my head is heavy, or foggy, and I"m tired. I'm not sure what to even call it, and I was hoping someone could maybe shed some light on it for me. I'm going to make a psych appointment this week, it's just tough for me as I don't have health insurance.
Gosh, that came out more rambling than I thought. Thank you for even making it this far through my post!
