I've had panic attacks since I was 17 and I'm now 38,I've had every symptom under the sun and yet I'm still here :)
Anxitey likes to feed on what you fear the most
That feeling in your head results to oh I have a Brian tumour
Oh why do I feel like this I must be going mad
That pain in my leg must be a blood clot
Why do I feel so bad?there must be something seriously wrong with me ? it can't just be anxiety ?
But belive me when I tell you it REALLY IS just anxiety

I've dealt with anxiety off and on for years. I was doing really well until October this past year when I developed sinusitis. I've been battling it since then. I think it's just the longevity of dealing with this crap creates the extra worry. Having health anxiety is not fun, especially those days when you're alone, feeling bad and start thinking of every horrible thing that might be wrong with you. Of course, that just multiplies every symptom until you feel like the walls are closing in. What helps me more than anything is to get out of the house and keep doing things you enjoy or spending time with friends. If you can power through it and distract your mind, you'll be in much better shape with the anxiety. You mentioned you go to the gym. Don't give it up and give in to staying cooped up at home nervous about feeling bad. Millions of people suffer from sinus issues. It sucks. I know first hand how it affects your quality of life. I've been on 3 rounds of antibiotics, oral steroids and a nasal steroid spray. I'm going to see an ENT doc soon. In the meantime, I've been using saline irrigation with a neti pot every other day. That helps clear the nasal passages. Don't let this get you down to the point that you stop doing things you enjoy. Try to power through. I promise you'll feel better. I'm working on it too. -Jeff

Thanks for your info and i totally I think I cold deal with it so much better if I was not aching all over and getting this muscle twitching it's making me so worried and anxious like something serious Is going on :/ everyday seems such a struggle at the moment. I have been docs so many times had loads of bloods done and had MRI scan etc everything is pretty much coming back normal which is so annoying because you want answers from this. Just want the old me I have a 6 year daughter too which is another thing because I want to be fit and healthy for her too.

Regard
Neil

I feel my heart skipping that is the worse symptom that I get. I feel like I am on the edge all the time. I am 56 and still here so I guess it's not going to kill me but I am miserable a lot. I still have a very hard time believing its anxiety
