Hi, Im 22 male living in Nottingham England. It all started with a car journey with work on a warm day and i started to feel travel sickness. Iv never experienced this before and i started to panic because i did not know the driver very well so i didn't want to ask him to pull over, And this is where i had my first panic attack. This was 3 years ago! I was coping really well for the first 2 years i stoped having the attacks when i learnt they cannot harm me. I still got tingly and felt as if i had to get away in certain situations i could handle this!!! Now for the last year i started having problems with my chest-heart. palpitations,fluttering,pain and this constant strange sensation like my heart had suddenly stoped it even jolts me awake at night, So now i feel i have an obsession about my heart it scares the crap out of me :cry: Had a load of tests done ecg,chest x- ray and blood tests, All came back fine i just cannot except it as anxiety! im constantly light headed all day every day. Doctor keeps pushing me out of his office telling me im only young and not to worry. I get really woried about my future because aint much of a life feeling so ill every day. Any one who as suffered with the same type of symptoms and managed 2 deal with it please tell me how it would be much appreciated :) PS meds dont seem 2 help me much.

I can totally relate to you on the car thing and the dizziness.
The very first thing I ever noticed about my little problem was that I couldn't ride in cars with people I wasn't entirely familiar with. Actually, I can't ride on any kind of motorized vehicle that's not a car or a bus or something like that. I also can't stand people who drive crazy. That's why I don't like to go out with people my age. Just watching them drive scares me. :tongue:

I also had problems with dizziness about two and a half years ago. But I started taking vitamins and it went away. Have you tried that?
