You have explained very nicely.There is nothing to add more.
I feel as though nothing is real ALOT. Even when I don't think I'm having an attack... I think I actual am. I went through a very stressfull, almost 3 year relationship which I think is initually which brought out all these horible symtoms I have. I actually feel like I am going crazy some times. I suffer from horible neck pain and head aches... So bad I once went to the ER to get x-rays. I even went through physical theropy. I'm only 22 and I feel as though I hardly have a life because I am to scared at times to go places. Its depressing and heart breaking. Not to mention what my fiance goes through. He's so suportive but he can't understand me completely because he doesnt experience it. Only those who do undertand it. My mom suffered from them horibly when she was younger. So bad that she couldn't drive three streets from the house without having an attack. She started pills then and after after years...she finally has them under control. I tried pills...they made me sick and I'm not one to take pills. Not even over the counter. Has anyone ever experienced constant muscle spasms and twitching in there legs and random twitching/spasming in the body? it started for me three weeks ago and hasnt stopped. Its worrying me and I am completely exhuasted over it. I keep thinking the worst... I hate it.
Hell Yes!
I had my first panic attack on the bus home from work, I honestly thoght I was going to die and went and stood outside my doctors just incase. I had a constant pressure in my head after this and numerous visits to my doctors and emergency doctors. I was going dizzy with a pain in my chest and a numb face. I had no idea for months that these were in fact panic attacks. After blood tests, ct scans, mri scans all coming back ok showing I was a perfectly healthy 25 year old. However the 'not knowing' had made these initial panic attacks seem like nothing as I developed pretty much all the symptoms on the list especialy the DAMN TWITCHING and neck tension. This kept leading me to believe I had some horrific illness which only made things worse. I have to say the twitching and electric shocks are the worst for me. Very scary, They drive me round the bend. My doctor has given me fluoxetine 20mg a day to help with the 24 hour worry, im on week 2 at the moment just hoping every day that they will start to help. I wish the doctor had not just hinted at a possible anxiety disorder and been a bit more straight from the start but I supose they have to rule everything out first. I totaly agree with the post that says once you start to deal with one symptom another wierd one will pop up, like your mind saying "youve dealt with that one, now hows about a bit of THIS! google this one I dare you!! Ahhhh!".
Im so so glad I found this site with other people with the exact same problems, it realy does help ease the worry, thanks to all you people who have posted youre experiences. It can seem a lonely place. Good look to everyone dealing with this awful thing.
My symptoms
Dizziness
Chest pain
pain in varying parts of my body, some days really bad, other days just not there.
Depersdonalisation (this is a reeeal wierd one)
Electric shocks (mostly in feet but can be anywhere)
Twitches anywhere in the body (these can go on for aaaaaages)
Constant Worry of What on earth is wrong with me
Constant need for reasurance from docs and family
Also had pretty much every symptom on the list at some point or other
And probably the main one.....Constant worry about my symptoms getting worse!
This is an impressive list. I have seen most of these from time to time and have never been able to associate with any diagnosis, even after extensive testing that led to my hypochondria and increased my anxiety. I am glad to know that a lot of that has to do with anxiety not that I have some undiagnosed illness.
Ive had soreness in my jaw tilngling which really scared me.... Stuff is intense. i get twitches in my chest like nerves or something is jumping and it hurts sometimes.my back will get super hot out of nowhere. My hands and feet are cold daily it sucks
Hi all:
Thanks for this extensive list! As many of you, I've had many of these symptoms, specially chest pain (heat attacks and anxiety attacks have similar symptoms and this add to my anxiety) and feeling that I'm going to die or get crazy.
It feels somehow comforting to know that you're not alone in this and for that I'm very grateful that this forum exists.
i love that sight i discovered it a while back.
I just wanted to say thanks for this post. I was at work when I had a minor freakout and talked to a friend who linked me this. After realizing that almost everything I was feeling were symptoms of this it helped me relax.
Yeah my symptoms have gotten better over this past week but I'm still focusing on my heart way too much due to gurgling in the heart area and I constantly burp. I read that it could be like that because of swallowing air which leads me to believe that I hyperventilate and not even know it. Mostly it happens in the morning with a couple episodes here and there during the day.
