I don't know if this will help, but I had a near death experience following a hemorrhage. Almost bled out internally. When the heart monitor went off I felt a strong pressure on my chest, not pain,...

Yes, I've had a stress test, echocardiogram, holster monitor, blood tests. Nothing physically wrong with my heart. It is all anxiety, as far as medical science can detect. It will get better once you...

It's 95% mental. He has to dig down deep and start facing his fears. He needs some books on anxiety, a good counsellor and a med that will help him chill out so his adrenaline drops back down to...

For about the last nine months...

Any neighbors? Sometimes I'll hear knocking at my neighbors that sounds like its inside the house or at the front door. Anxiety is also a possibility. You never know. I try not to jump to crazy ideas...

When the anxiety is bad, I hear kapow type sounds and jump awake. I also feel electric shocks, a falling sensation and once it seemed like the whole bed shook, like someone put their hands on it and...

Yep. Mine goes in cycles. It's been pretty bad lately. Can't get to sleep. Wake up 2 or 3 times when I do.

When my panic disorder first struck, I had just been released from the hospital after I had a near death experience. I hemorrhaged after surgery and literally "saw the light"-- which, by the way, is...

The video scared you and this is what happened... When you got scared, it triggered a reaction that released the chemical adrenaline into your bloodstream. Adrenaline is the chemical that gives...

Me, too, Mable. I had stress test, ECG, holster monitor, cat scan, blood work, camera down my throat and up my bum, Xrays, and nothing wrong. Well, strike that, I did have polyps, and one was...

I don't get that feeling very often, just when the anxiety is at its worst.

Ugh! I want to go to sleep, but the thud thud thud is driving me nuts. I know it can't hurt me, but it just won't stop. It's going about 104 right now. I'm not panicking, but it's just so annoying....

Your vitals are basically perfect. Plenty of oxygen in your blood.

Cry, laugh... Once I got a splitting migraine.

I feel like I've got a pretty good grip on this anxiety thing, but I'm still having trouble eating. Whenever I eat, my pulse jumps up to 100-120 bpm and I feel it pulsing in my skin and my head. This...

Very typical symptoms. It's the adrenaline. Even when you aren't worried about something, the adrenaline is floating in your system. It takes hours the metabolize. You have to go days in a positive...

What if it doesn't. Blessed, life is a story we tell ourselves. The world we experience is not real. It's just a holographic simulation run by our brains, which is locked away in the dark inside the...

You're making it go up and down. Stop checking it. Distract yourself with something you enjoy, and try not to worry about the withdrawals. I was freaked about Ativan til I found out my mother takes...

I've done a bit of research and I wouldn't recommend mixing alcohol with meds. If I drink the wine I feel I need to forgo the Ativan and vice versa. It's been 24 hrs since my last Ativan.

Rather than taking a half an ativan to mellow out, I have been drinking about 8-16 oz of red wine. I read on the internet all the health benefits of red wine-- good for heart disease and cancer and...

Some pains are real, I think, but they are from holding your body tense, rather than a bad ticker. Pay attention to your posture and how you hold your body. I tend to sit scrunched forward, tensing...

You don't have schizophrenia. I can tell you this with surety because schizophrenics have no clue they're schizophrenic. Just like crazy people do not know they are crazy. They think they are normal...

I was doing really good, too. Anxiety was almost zero for four or five days. Now I'm sitting here with my head stopped up and chest tightness. Maybe it's allergies. I don't know. I'm taking half an...

Today my anxiety is playing a new game. It's called "Guess What, You Can't Breathe!" After about four days of very low key anxiety, this new one is getting to me. I know I am breathing fine because...

Very common effect of anxiety. Your brain is jacked up on adrenaline, so it is looking for something dangerous in the environment. Knives are dangerous, so voila! Also works on guns, screwdrivers,...
