More than a week now and haveing mild chest pain, stomach upset and Being easily startled, i want to call my pysch doc to see if there is something i can do about it. I am not sure exactly were it;s coming from, i jump when the phone rings, the alarm goes off, etc if u have some suggestions i would appreciate it, i probably should go to the ER and explain this to them but they never give me anything to help anyway Thanks Twiggy2

I am very easily startled especailly when stressors are about
I would still go to the ER your BP could be way up
It could be many things ...............what else is going on ..........or triggering it ??
At least call PDOC and ask fo something to help with thi
Keep all posted I wish you the best .......

That's out-of-control anxiety for sure. When I'm jumping at the phone or the doorbell ringing, I know I'm on red alert. What I do is immediately lie down flat on my back on my bed and start my deep breathing exercises. It helps a lot.

I was kind of like that all last week and I felt so bad. My doc ended up incressing my meds. Good luck and let us know how you are doing.

I feel a bit better just knowing that i not alone and i will call him tommorow for sure and explain whats being happening, no triggers really just jumpy i am waiting for MRI and eeg results to come in and maybe i am reacting to that some how.

Goodluck Twiggy, I hope your doctor can help, I usually increase ant-anxiety meds when I start jumping at doorbells and ringing phones.  Keep us posted :-)

Called docs office no results of MRI test yet, and explained that i am shakey and jumpy. I asked her to talk to the doc but she looked at my file and asked if i was taking the 50mgs of serequeol i said no she asked why said don;t know i feel ok on 25mgs but anyway maybe i think it;s the sereqoul she said try the 50mgs and see what happens. If it is the serequeol i will should be able to tell if i increase to 50mg? i will have to stop taking it and try something else. take care i will let u know what's happens i still might go to the hospital and see what they can do. Bye for now Twiggy2

Twiggy I felt like this a few years ago and the ER tested my thyroid levels.  Turns out I was toxic from too much Synthroid.  I was so relieved because I felt like I was jumping out of my skin.  Have you had your thyroid levels checked in the last year?

yes i have had blood work done and haven;t heard anything back yet. Still a bit jumpy but i am calling my pysch doc or my family doc and see what can be done. I still am waiting for the MRI results, i am running out of klonopin but it is not helpful as musch because i am tolerant to it now i am trying to only use it when i have too. I will keep u all posted as to what happens. Twiggy2.

MRI results came back normal a relief for sure, i explained the jumpiness thing to my pysch doc so we decided to increase my Zoloft to 125mg and 75mg of serequol we are going to try this for two months if not successful we will try something else. Also we are still waiting for the EEG results to possible rule out eplilepsy or some other possible nerve disorder. Then we can go from there on that aspect. Until then i am doing my breathing and trying to eat more good food and taking my muti vitamin everyday, I will let u know how things are going. Twiggy2
