Needing some major reassurance right now!!!

Oh boy!!! I need some help. I am having severe burning sensation in my left arm and my chest. I'm extremely tired as I've only had a couple hours, maybe even 1.5 hrs of sleep. My feet r burning and so is my right arm now!!! Baby girl woke me up cuz she was hungry, but now I feel like I'm not gonnamake it. Freaking out and know I don't need. To. Started taking my propranolol last week Friday pretty sure this has to do with that!! I need sleep!!!!
Going to try thrv21 trick!!

I am trying really hard not to panic, but I have not had this continual burning feeling and also it seems that my skin is hot to the touch! I may be mentally exaggerating these symptoms. I know that happens!! But I'm very hot and nauseous!!!! I haven't felt this way or at least this intense for a LoNG time!!!! I just took my BP too and it was 129/92 with my pulse at 91. Not astronomically high, but high none the less. I wanna try and take a Xanax, but I'm afraid!!! Will I not be able to get up with my baby if she cries because ill be to tired??? Am I having this panic attack because I AM tired??? I took my celexa at 9:14 which is late a and then my propranolol a little after 10. I took it with strawberry oatmeal.

I just started taking it (propranolol) this past Friday. That's only 3 days. Could this have some help in disruption of my patterns? Or is it that I am so sleepy??? I wanna sleep but as soon as I lay down the warmth travels from those places in my body to additional places. I'm also so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open.

I'm sitting in the bathroom on the toilet. Sigh. I need this crap to stop!!! I can't keep doing this.

Will check back. Just about fell asleep in the bathroom, gonna try and climb back into bed. Going to try to count backwards and forwards.

This anxiety is for the birds!!!!

BeRock thank you!!! I'm really trying!!! It is so hard tonight!!!! Don't know what makes it any different tonight! :/ I may have over exhorted myself today also as I brought the girls to a play date with friends from 11-4 ( much longer than i realized!!!) and then had to go shopping for baby formula etc at the store.

It seems to be passing a little one. Also there are a lot of big stressful things going on the last 3-4 weeks.

BeRock, hanks also for the showering with the curtain partly open!!! It helps!!! That cool air really helps.

Ok gonna try bed for real this time.

Is your body temperature normal or close to normal? Sometimes, that helps reassure me.

I'm not familiar with your new medicine, but new medicines can ratchet up the symptoms for a little while.

Is anyone else there, who could help wake you up if your baby needs you? (Sorry, I know zilch about babies! lol)

I have the burning sensation... sometimes it feels like sunburn, to me. Usually limited to my face and chest, but sometimes all over the place.

I wish I knew more to say to reassure you.

I'm here, pulling for you, though - and praying for you, too.

Full 45 mins of full blown panic attack with your defenses being low due to lack of sleep. Whew! I'm really glad to hear how you survived it. Panic attacks are never meant win no matter what anyway. I can't imagine myself being cornered by a panic attack that way. I'm sure you'll be able to face and beat other bigger panic attacks now that this experience will give you more strength and confidence. Or maybe they'll not try to pick on you again.

I am sorry to hear about your bad night JJ.:(

I hope that you were able to get a little more rest after your attack...you need it. It is really hard when your sleeping patterns are disrupted and all over the place...there really is some truth to the phrase 'Too tired to sleep.'

Maybe today you can take it easy, and rest and recover from your rough night.

The good news is that I find that after a particularly bad night, I sleep really well the next.

I hope it is so for you as well!!:)

Great job on hanging in there.

S.C.

Thanks everyone!!! I'm so happy to be part of this family!! It is so difficult. I think in addition to my meds, and therapy, I need to do more research.

I am having such a difficult time wrapping around the idea that physical anxiety/symptoms "just happens" to me I believe that there is some kind of underlying imbalance that is causing this, BUT what caused that imbalance and why is it coming out this way??!!

So I can say that most likely my pregnancy caused the imbalance. It can be an imbalance of many things: thyroid, hormones, dietary...to many things. Along with my pregnancy it didn't help I had hyperemesis Gravidarum. That indeed sent me into a panic every time my body reacted differently. Also being hyper aware of how ur body functions is ridiculous!!! I dislike how aware of things I am.

Okay, enough, I will be looking into the why and how of physical symptoms of anxiety. It's my new mission.

Hugs to everyone
