Hello everyone,

I have had a dreadful night (worst ever!). I have not slept a wink... Nearly called 999 a few times too... I am a young woman and have been checked a number of times (Ecg,s, echos... Recently my anxiety has been its worst yet! I keep going very faint at different completely out of the blue times (literally like I will collapse) its horrible. Then I get a funny indigestion kind of feeling in my throat/chest area and a I get really bad nausea. I get chronic stomach pain and really bad gas like pain. My chest does not really hurt but I take really deep breaths in to get air. This was happening the whole night! I have also been extremely hungry even after pigging out and very tired. Please don't comment anything negative (about heart attacks!!) because they are my worst fear. I got checked out by the doc 3 days ago... she listened to my heart, did my pulse and she said I was fine. But I do know these r serious symptoms. I would just like to ask if anyone else gets similar symptoms? Oh and also very stuffy, heated, burning head :/ Random awakenings and feeling numb. Is this severe anxiety? I have been diagnosed with health anxiety.

Excuse my poor grammar and punctuation - its hard to write and concentrate when u have been up all night :/

Thanks everyone!

Your not alone I have had the same symptoms for the past 2 nights everything you mentioned I have it's crappy. Where as people without anxiety wouldn't even notice the symptoms our senses are heightened and we feel everything a 100x more than we should. I have had the flu for the last two days and I literally think I'm going to die, it's hard going to work doing 10 hour shifts with this on my mind.

Don't worry your not alone what so ever I think about calling the hospital nearly everyday. Anxiety can cause some strange things to happen in out body so iv been told

Hope your ok

Hey Jamie!

Thank you so much :) It's so nasty! I am soo convinced of dying. Then I sit up all night, feeling dizzy and terrified. I am doing a little beter now... How are you?
10 hours shifts sounds really hard, especially with anxiety. I agree, we definitely feel it more and then the more u worry the worse it gets. It seems that nobody understands or thinks your over reacting :/

I have those same symptoms too. I wake up in the middle of the night feeling extremely jittery ( almost as if I drank 20 energy drinks), although I haven't. I feel so lightheaded that I feel like I'm going to pass out. It's totally miserable:(

Yes! The dizziness is the worst part... Its so scary. x
