It all started with panic attacks and a fear of a heart attack for me .. Then it slowly started getting worse and worse .. Lately I feel as if the old me is gone. .. I have checked my blood pressure 7 times today and 10 times last night .. I am so worried I am going to have a heart attack .. I'm 25 male and played college basketball.. What's worse is everybody around me is tired of me calling them and saying hey I checked my bp again I want to go to the hospital .. I have all but lost my job over it and recentlly have just felt lost like it will be here forever .. Just want my life back

Never took any meds bc of fear of side effects ..

Woody, meds and education on anxiety saved my tail. Side effects go away(if you get any) and are better than anxiety running amok and ruining everything.
See a good doc about your anxiety and PM me any time and perhaps you can get things much better again in time. Alankay.

I have had just about every anxiety symptom and the doc doesn't want to see me anymore told me my EKG and bloodwork was fine .. but I still get online and look at these symptoms which are terrifying but I am scared I am going to die I'm bout to go on Zoloft but it seems Monday is so fa away .. I have no feelings of happy and the joy my life was before this happened
