hi all

i hope that everyone is feeling alright, for the past few months i have been feeling like crap, i am not having panic attacks or anything, but i get these bizarre thoughts come into my head, at times i feel as though am gonna just faint off, i feel unsteady, just a moment ago i felt this hotness/heat going through my body, has this ever happened to anyone? i did blood work and ekg, everything is alright, the only thing i have not done is MRI/catscan, i dont sleep well and i have absolutely no appetite, i have been seriously feeling crappy, does anyone know if anxiety goes on this long, or its something else? my mom says its my anxiety and my GERD, and my hypocondriac is back, am thinking i have a tumor, cancer you name it, i need some insight about if anyone has ever experienced these symptoms and what is the best thing to do. i am not taking anything for my anxiety, my doctor prescribed diazepam but i have never taken them because of their addictive properties, i was on omeprazole for almost two years for my GERD and i really dont want to take them again. any response is welcomed, please anyone let me know if this has ever happened to anyone, thanks for all the replies guys.

Hi bungee- sorry you are not feeling well. I get something similar, start to feel dizzy, sometimes shakey and like I will faint or fall. Sometime I feel hot during this too.

I've had lots of tests and so far nothing except sometimes my blood pressure runs kind of low- they call it vaso vagal syndrome - but so far it seems that anxiety can cause these feelings too. It's scarey when it happens but I think it can be from anxiety. I wish I had a good solution to tell you but I don't know of one yet except therapy helps. I don't take any medications either as they scare me.

hi littlewing75, thanks for the reply, am just realising just how many symptoms anxiety has, and they keep changing, when you think you've gotten accustomed to one symptom another one pops up, wishing you an anxiety free week and all the best, again thanks

Hi BL,

Yes, anxiety does have many symptoms...and unless you are actively treating it/seeking to manage it with meds therapy or self help...unfortunately, they will continue.

I am sorry you are not feeling well. I understand well what you are going through!

I encourage you to seek help with your doctor for a therapy referral...or to start practicing self-help (see our Resources) or to purchase a program for recovery...

...anything to get headed in the right direction, and to start feeling better!

There is help and hope! Keep talking with us, and we will keep you in support...and walk alongside you in your journey!

S.C.
