I'm 16 years old and home schooled.(because of my severe anxiety) for the past few days my anxiety has gotten worse. Last week I had a panic attack so bad i threw up on my laptop and had to get it fixed. I never usually throw up in my panic attacks which really scares me. I've left in an ambulance 4 times in the past 2 months because of my panic attacks that got so bad i thought i was having a heart attack. my blood pressure sometimes rises to 180/80 when I leave in the ambulance and my pulse usually is around 110 during my panic attacks. Today my Teacher had to leave because I was having a really bad panic attack. heart pain, hand numbness, dizziness, feeling like I'm out of my body, high blood pressure, heart racing, feeling like i can't breathe, and the most terrifying symptom, my left side of body (left arm, left chest, and neck) going numb and burning. I've been to the doctor for those symptoms and gotten EKG's, CAT scans, Heart monitors and more.. the doctor always says I'm fine and Diagnosed me with GAD, Panic attacks, Social anxiety, High blood pressure, & hyperventilation Syndrome. and also told me to cut out all caffeine. but I'm just convising myself something else is more wrong. I currently take 2mg Xanax 3 times daily and usually when I take it I feel little to no anxiety. (especially the worst symptoms) I've had bad reactions and am allergic to almost all the anti depressants (Celexa, Wellbutrin, Prozac, Depakote) I was going to try Cymbalta 60MG but it is outrageous and my insurance refuses to cover it. I'm just worried that somethings wrong with my heart :/ or there's a blockage or something around my left side of my body and that's why my anxiety is doing that. Idk what to do. my next appointment with my doctor is on the 30Th of October which isn't that far away. and my therapist appointment is November 1st. No one seems to understand my symptoms. :( I just feel helpless at this point. If anybody knows anything or is going through something similar please respond.
