I used to be very anxious. It all started after a few super fast heartrates, that were later diagnosed as Sinus Tachycardia. Totally normal heart, normal rhythyms, just fast. All labs were normal....

You have normal health anxIety, as sucky as that may be. For me, my heart is almost always the culprit (with strokes and clots in a close run for 2nd). I get palpitations, fast heart rate,...

Can you go above your boss for help with scheduling? I'm living with sleep deprivation right now too, and it can completely understand the increased anxiety. Remember one day at a time. Sometimes...

Are there any groups you can join there? It's hard making friends as an adult. But I promise it does get better. Join a club or volunteer somewhere. Or maybe even a part time job? Good luck!

I can't seem to get over my anxiety today. The other day I was so sick to my stomach, and had a low grade fever. Stomach issues got better but low grade fever has remained ever since. Still some...

Yes! You can definitely have anxiety without thinking about it. That's probably my biggest problem. Someone on tv has a heart attack and a week later I have palpitations. So annoying! I can go...

My doctor recently prescribed me Progesterone for 10 days. One of the risks I read was strokes and clots. It made me nervous because I just quit smoking the day before.

So fast forward to...

Hey guys. It's been a few months since I've been here, but my anxiety is getting the best of me today. I've been going through some stress lately, and I think I may be having an anxiety attack. ...

I'm suddenly having chest pains and it's freaking me out. I'm not sure if it's just anxiety or something else. I was just standing there and had a sudden pain in my left back, then started getting...

If you have to google, try searching for positive experiences with your medicine. My doc said something that made sense to me. People who write reviews are typically the people who are upset. The...

I used to have a lot of the same problems. Sometimes they sneak up again now too. For months I was convinced something was happening. My heart was super fast at weird times, I had chest pain, left...

How long have you had these attacks? For me, I had that many in the beginning and then again when they tried to increase my meds too quickly. They never seem to completely go away, but that nancy a...

The first panic attack is so scary! Mine came out of nowhere while at a baseball game. And then I noticed every sensation in my body, every heartbeat, every tingle. It's rough at first, and still...

I had a LASIK procedure today and my anxiety seems extra high. It started with the medicine they gave me, I saw the pill form could have an interaction with my Lexapro. I'm taking the eye drops...

I had so much anxiety about going under a few months ago. I was terrified I would never wake up again. I'm happy to say that I'm still here! Try to remember that they are the professionals and...

Glad you are feeling better!!

I would be willing to bet that more people are helped than hurt in therapy. But I understand the anxiety of that!! I have seen a therapist and it did help. They're going to ask you probing...

Sometimes I do. Lately it's been a lot higher than normal for some reason.

Sounds like brain zaps. Are you slowly decreasing?

This is driving me crazy! I have a headache on my left side, just above and behind my ear. It's like a stabbing pain that comes and goes.

I'm trying to tell myself it's just tension or sinus,...

I take Lexapro. It was AWFUL the first week. I've never had such anxiety. I literally called my neurologist and told him my head was going to explode and my brain felt sideways. LOL. But it gets so...

I was driving today when a car pulled out right in front of me. I hit them going about 25-30 mph. Luckily everyone was ok.

But now my health anxiety is going strong. I can't help but worry about...

This may sound weird, but try drinking a full glass of water before bed and another when you first wake up. It helps you stay hydrated, and in the morning gets your organs moving. I feel weird...

I don't see anyone listing Dexter yet. :)

Thank you for that. It really helps a lot. So often I find myself trying to control my anxiety. I'm learning how to accept it slowly.
