I decided today to see if I could find some others with my problems and came across this post!!
I am 23 and have always been very active! I am a female and about a year ago started feeling these exact syptoms! I felt as though something was very wrong with me and I was going to die! Chest pains, dizzy, nauceaus, chills and the fear of having some horrible disease!! I just knew it was my body telling me I was sick and to seek medical attention!! I went to numerous er visits and went through countless doctors! I had every test known to man done and everything came back normal a year ago! I had it in my head they were all just trying to get rid of me because they thought I was nuts! I did some online research and found that women with Mirena were having the same symptoms as I was! After having it removed I felt like the old me a few days later! It had been about 9 months and I was perfect! On my way home from vactaion two months ago I started feeling "bad"! I was shaky, headache, unable to concentrate, felt as though my life was over, my heart was pounding and I had the urge to cry that I could not control!! I felt so crummy that I stopped and got a hotel for a few hours! That was two months ago and it seems I am having problems daily! I see something online, tv or even a "pray for someone" on facebook and I automatically think I am going to die from whatever it was! The thought of what if my daughter doesn't have her mommy growing up is overwhelming! Will I not be there to see her go to school, her first boyfriend, graduate, get married and so on...It is all so sudden and will not go away! I have tried to refocus on other things and keep busy but it just does not work! I feel as though I am going to die from a disease, any disease I seem to find that has one common symptom as I am having! I do not think it can be just anxiety! Has anyone else had these thoughts or feelings? Is it just anxiety or something more? Can I ever feel like the old me again?
