Angry

I already had 6 panic attacks. Two of them were pretty severe. One was just yesterday. My first severe panic attack started last February though I already had one last January but just a mild one, didn't thought it was an attack at first, that was also when anxiety first came into my life. The first severe attack was like "the end of me" feeling. It usually raise my blood pressure as well. My heart rate can reach 150 bpm with each attack. I also get the chest tightness, cold sensation around my chest, feeling I can't breathe, profuse sweating and dizziness (feels like fainting).


So far I'm still alive thank to God! I was totally worried about suffering from a serious disease from the last three months until I stopped to google and joined this forum! Talking to people here and reading all what they have to say helps me alot. I also lessened myself into thinking of "maybe I have this serious disease" which helps a lot. Whether I'm truly sick or not I will not be consumed by my anxiety. I'll do my best to overcome this and just like Larry said to me, I will not be the first person in history to fail to get well.

Hope we all get better!

Yea many of us get these symptoms too, I just can't believe at first that anxiety can possibly cause these things to us that's why I ended up thinking the worst. My first concern was my blood pressure because it went up high as 170/117. Thought I already have chronic kidney failure and my anxiety began to develop. Since then weird symptoms showed up which I never had before like sudden flashing stars and flickering dark areas in my vision, head pressure on my right temporal area, sensitive scalp, racing heart beat, neck and legs inner tremors, dilated eyes (which I thought before I have a brain tumor causing it) and so on. When I stopped paying attention to them, they also lessen. Now instead of going to google I go here and it helps me to feel better! And since I haven't seen a doctor yet for a general or executive check-up with MRI's/MRA though I already had some tests done (ECG, CBC, BUN, Creatinine) all were normal. I tell myself
"truly sick or not, I'm going to live my life the best way I can and still be thankful to God each day even if there are bad times." I noticed when I was indulging my anxiety before there were more bad times.


As people say here "Fear and anxiety doesn't exist in the world." We just have to learn to keep telling or reminding ourselves of that!

Larry, that was some awesome encouragement. I needed that, thanks :) :)

Dear Lexaaaa
I never say anything I don't mean or feel,
I do sometimes get off topic, hope everyone
forgives me for that!
