High Anxiety...

hi everyone. its always good to come here especially when I don't feel good. the seizury/faintness continues to happen on a daily basis but the strange thing is that is mostly happens when I'm home. this condition is driving me crazy and I've been medically cleared of any neuro problems. no one can seem to figure it out. is it something in my house? after reading all the posts I was sure it was anxiety. but why should I have anxiety at home in my supposedly safe place? it usually gets a little better if I take some kind of sedative. I'm just terrified that something is horribly wrong with me and its getting missed by doctors. this is scaring me something awful. I even changed my diet to salads, beans and fruit hoping a healthy diet might cure it. I've been given some suggestions in the past but nothing works. I cant sleep without being heavily medicated either. my stomach constantly feels like it has butterflies in it. thanks for letting me share

Hi Dizzy,

I gave your thread a title so that you will get more responses.

It sounds like you have a good case of health anxiety. Did you ever hear the saying "don't borrow trouble"? Basically it means that you shouldn't look for bad things. They come often enough when we don't. I doubt that it is nothing other than plain old anxiety.

I get the butterflies when I get anxious. And that is usually when I have to go somewhere. I am safe in my home and I know that.

Have you checked for gas leaks or anything like that? Just incase it is something in the house? Maybe have someone come in and check your appliances, heater and the pipes. Just a thought. Maybe that is inspected anyway. I don't know... I just hate to see you suffering.

I hope that if there is anything wrong, that you find out what it is. But if the doc says that all is clear, than it probably is. Remember your breathing. In through the nose and out through the mouth. It does help to get a grip on anxiety.

I hope that you feel better soon.

Hugs, Karen...
