Hello

I am brand new and trying to accept that I may have Anxiety.

Back in february, I smoked weed at home before watching some tv, my heart started to race, got hot, felt like it wanted to pop out, and i lost my color and blacked out. Spent the night in the ER where they did all chest tests, stress test, eko, heart monitor overnight everything fine.

Since then, I've always been worried that it will happen again, every little pain i feel i think Im going down, but I learned to handle it.

Fast forward to the saturday before thanksgiving, I played 3 hours of bball ( i play all the time) and I was extremely fine until i got home and my chest started to really hurt. Certain areas would be sharp pains, my breathing was irregular and i was clamy but I slept it off. It got worst. On thanksgiving i was fine, then my family got into a huge fight. I left to go to my wife's parents house (as planned) and when I got there, I felt really sick as if I was going to faint again.

Since then (almost a month) my chest has been acting up with various symptoms. This past saturday I was at target, and my head got cloudy, my left leg got numb and i thought i was going ot pass out (this happened 3x this month at the mall). I race home and lay down where my chest feels like its gonna stop working and my whole body is weak, i go to the ER where they only do EKG and blood pressure and blood work and everyhting is fine. But now my leg is always going numb and i'm extremely worried that I am gonna not wake up one day.

Am I getting Anxiety? Does this sound like it? My chest always feels like its skipping beats, being stabbed or wanting to jump out of my chest. But yet i never went down again (although saturday was close).

HELP!!

Hi

when I first had my full
blown attack I got really dizzy also but didn't pass out and I could feel my heartbeating constantly I hated it, also on a different occassion I thought I had a stroke cuz my left arm and leg got all tingly and numb but after about 30 minutes it went away...this happened all at the beginning of my anxiety now I have anxiety constantly
but it's
not really like a full blown attack like u experienced it's jus a since off worry all the time and I recently quit smoking pot it made me feel horible after a while of using it I'd advise not to if u have anxiety it can make things much worse

It could definately be anxiety, I would also recommend to do further testing to rule out other things like cardiovescular desease etc. Also about your dizziness, i have the same thing but with me it started with having vertigo real bad and that lead to my anxiety.next time you get dizzy, pay attention if you get dizzy first and then racy heart etc. Or the other way around, may help to see what doctor to see.
Good luck
