Hello there i posted a while ago with chest pains, as i have managed my anxitey with taking propanol, i still carnt seem to shift these pains. its got worse over these few days. The pain in my back has become a joke !. at the week end i went to pick up the iron in a good mood to go out then all of a sudden i got this very very sharp electic like pain run down my back, it hurt that much it knocked me to the ground. my heart palapations seem to be getting worse even when on the meds. every time i go to the doctor they dont even check me they just say anxitey and keep throwing these pills at me. iv never been like this broke bone walked around on them for 2 weeks etc i can take pain i can take adreniline rushes i like them. but these are just strange and i hate it. this happened back in last september and i c arnt get rid of it for the life of me any idea any one?.

o aswell iv have been waiting on a phycoligist for 7 weeks now and still got about 3 to go :(

Tim, I dont know if this will help or not ok?
When I was younger sometimes I would have a sharp pain in my ribs or chest, this would cause an adrenlin rush but different than being in an argument or fight, kind of a weard runnway heart, it seemed like I would get a pain or a thought that would trigger the adrenlin and that would pretty well ruin my day, this is a good place to get some answers so start reading the other posts, your symptoms are not that different from everyone else. Your Dr. works for you make him/her listen, or fire them and get another, its your money and your life and you deserve answers!

Tim, I am 70 be 71 next month, was diagnoced heart deseaze at 35 first anxity full grand mall attack at age 48 at 58 I had a tripple bypass, now I want you to really absorbe what I am saying, I had every symptom you have and they almost always gave me a panic attack, I really thought I was dying. I had a real heart attack and I promise you its nothing like the symptoms we have had, the problem with our symptoms is it triggers our subconcious to give us a shot of adrenlin, then we seem to spend the whole night or day trying not to die, this is a visious cycle that is just a night mare. "Read these other peoples posts, we are all in the same boat, your symptoms are very classic". Please read!
I use to be sitting at work no problems, get a pain in left chest, (my brain saying Larry thats your heart)
next a hot flush sometimes my whole body sometimes just chest face and back, then my heart would take off about 140 per min. I went to ER maybe 10 times had ekg's blood gasses, ecco's xrays and everything would come back, "Larry your heart is not doing this we think its anxity" and they were right!
Tim I had heart problems along with anxity and the anxity never even bothered my heart, I dont know how old you are but if you are under 40 just make your Dr. check you out and then get in therapy of some kind and give yourself a break, You have just joined a club of anxity/panic/depression sufferers someday you will get over this and we will kick you out of the club. lol
meantime many of us Pray for each other.

I forgot to add, take this to heart, a sharp pain of any kind is NOT your heart! Please trust me!

Hello,
I As well have sharp pains usually goin thru my shoulder area. Been to ER 3 times and always dismissed with anxiety. Sometimes I feel shooting like lightning... that's what I call it lol... pain go from my back to my chest like straight thru the middle. It scared the crap outta me and my doc said that could either b from the anxiety or I have a herniated disc in my back but I Also get those adrenaline rushes n heart palpitations.I Guess I always just thght that happened cause of the pain scaring me to death. I. do think it has to do with anxiety and I do think the longer you have it and dont find out how to deal with it which is hard cause everyone's different. The symptoms change and get worse. It really does suck but I've been told so many times I need to relax and chill out. Really?. like I can help it or Im din all this in purpose. MY stress level is so high.... that I lose a handful of hair every single day. Ive had so many tests and blood work and nothing. it's hard to avoid stress when you don't know what's stressin you out... life in general.. bein a mom...beinawife...I don't know but I guess you can b stressed out about something and not realize that's what stressin you out. W ell good luck to you and those symptoms are very familiar so yes it cld b anxiety. Vicky

Thank you for your replys. i do take them in but they dont seem to kick in.
I am 22 years old
i have been waiting to see a phropyist for 4 months now.
i have no stress in my life little bills loving fiance that helps me through it work can be stressful but i just get on with it, as we all need some pennys to buy us nice things :).
Tests i had done
chest xray
blood test (diabeites, blood picture, electrodes in blood)
x2 ecg's
uriane samples
stool samples.

To explaine this all in a nut shell how it started etc.

i broke my leg and was off work ill. i then came back to work getting second degree burns on my hand durning work. after that i started to notice as sitting in bed at night that my heart was always beating very very fast and i kept having this rush through my body stomach upwards to my throat. stirght away i thought S**T im having a heart attack went stright to the a + e were i got worse quickly very very quickly. i went dizzy i couldent breath my face went numb my left arm went numb i felt like i was crawling up the walls and needed someon to help me like NOW or im going to die. (this was the most scary thing in my life iv been run over broke bones cut my hand to the bone ect but this was maddnes my head was going as fast as my heart) i then had the same again the following nite were i went again and felt the same all over again i was then told it is anxiety and if you come back to the a+e for the same symptoms we will not test you again and will be sent stright home. this was a horrible expriance

i then visted the doctor who put me on propanarol beta blockers these did not help at all at firsts but when the dosage was upped my heart stopped beating so quickly. i continued to have the pains all the time these would not go and i was loosing a battle agaist my self. were i was then tested for some stuff and told it looks like anxiety.

Symptoms i had and gone
chest pain
shaking all the time
migrane when waking up with tender spots on head

symptoms that i am still battleing

stomach pain (this is the wosrt by far as my bowl movements have changed i get a dull ache in my testicals when the stomach ache comes and it feels like i drank 10 pints and ate a vinderloo all the time i can continuely feel the stomach movements going on in my belly the pains the bubbles the churning)
Back ache this is not to bad but when it is its horrible like being stabbed in the back with an electric fork.
heart palpataions these seem to be worse when im awake and not sleepy and ready to go to bed they seem to be move active the more i am.

thanks you both for your time i am glad to hear from you both ! i hope you both do good and get better aswell!

regards Tim

Tim, I never had any kind of back problems until anxity started kicking my but, the muscles in our back on each side of spine on me right side between sholderblade and back bone, it would hurt so bad I couldnt breath. I dont know anything about the meds you are taking but I use xanac as needed if I am bussy at work or something I wait until I am home and can lay down then I take a half or a whole, the reason I wait until I am home I dont want to go out and drive or do anything maybe dangerous, my xanac will kill an ancity attack but my day is over so I just take one and go to bed, over time I have developed the ability to sometimes tough out an attack but if my back is hurting I allways take one, my back pain is from back to front like a spear someone left in me. Your symptoms are very clasic and you will get better. Be not afraid! ***
