This might be long but pls read. I have been struggling with this for a long time and noone understands me.
When i was about 14 (now 25) i started feeling like i couldn't breathe and my heart was beating fast. I felt funny like i was just short of breath and struggling for air. NOTHING happened to make this happen, just did. So then i started panicking which turned it into a panic attack. I went to the ER. They told me nothing was wrong.
This continued and i was scared to stay home alone so when my mom would leave to go play pool during the weeks it would happen every night. I literally just thought i was dying.
I went to the doctor he gave me some pills but they didnt help. I then developed a sleeping pill addiction bc i was so scared for night to come bc i would have this "anxety attack" that i would take them every night.
Now, ten years later. Every opnce in a while for NO reason i will start feeling really funny like something is PHYSICALLY wrong with me. My chest feels funny, i feel faint cant concentrate. I have EKGs done and everything and they are all fine. When i was pregnant the doctor said if something was wrong with my heart or something that it would act up more with me being pregnant.
I do worry about alot of things like dying, i panic sometimes wondering if there is an afterlife bc i hope there is, and other things. But when thewse things happen to me i could even be out with a friend having fun and not even thinking about anything bad. It feels like something is just wrong with me and last time i told a doctor he thought i meant mentally.
The ONLY time i will have one with somerthing bringing it on is if im in a car at night. Twice my hands have balled up into curls and i couldnt move them. They were frozen! now i i dont knwo what that was!

Anyway the point is, i know i have anxiety, but when i start feeling this way for NO reason ... is it?
i just wish someone understood
