I have been feeling good the last week or so but since Sunday, my anxiety is back with a vengeance. I have been grinding/ clenching my teeth a lot, especially on the right side and now have jaw/toothaches in my mouth, mainly on that side. Palpitations/ skipped beats have increased and I’m trying so hard to accept, deep breathe, and not let my health anxiety tell me it’s my heart. Good thoughts & vibes appreciated!

I am sorry to hear about your anxiety.
Mine has been horrible as of late to the point that 3 x of wanting to go to the hospital because I thought I was having a heart attack! 3-5 panic attacks per day for the last 2 weeks. It is finally getting better thanks to my naturopathic doctor he prescribed me kavinace & seriphos. You can actually get both products online. I have been meditating 2x per day. Saw a cardiologist and passed with flying colors. Also saw a therapist today which has helped me cope. Get a strategy going try meditating, drawing, cooking, yoga, anything to be presany moment. The only thing I am working on now is shortness of breath like I have asthma. They have great resources on this forum and a great community of thousands of people going through this. Hang in there. Let me know what other symptoms you have.

MSP,

Remember that anxiety levels will naturally come and go. Hormones, sleep, nutrition, thinking patterns/mindset...external factors as well all play a part and vary at different times.

You've been in challenging places before, and made it through...and you will do so again.

Great job on staying positive and using your coping skills. Keep it up...this will pass.

Continue to reach out anytime...that's what we are all about here, friend. smile

I believe that part of this is due to a very intense bad dream that I had a couple of nights ago. I was being attacking verbally and physically being pushed around by someone. My boyfriend snuggled up behind me and put his arms around me. Normally I nuzzle right up to him, put my arm over his and go drift right back to sleep. This time he said my hands and feet were thrashing like I was fighting. He was worried so he woke me up. I was breathing hard, and almost in an anxiety attack. My anxiety has been amped since then.

I keep a key in my pocket each day as a reminder of the victories I have had in all this. In other words, that I have gotten though tough times that I was really consumed over. But....I have made strides and enjoyed situations that 7 months ago made me nervous. That key lets me know that I have inner strength and can get through another setback when it comes.

MSP,

Sorry to hear about your awful dream. Dreams can really affect me for a day or two after a particularly bad one! Hope you are feeling better now?

Minnesota,

LOVE the key idea! Great technique...having a tangible reminder of your progress!
