Hi, I have been experiencing migraines for 16 years. (Ever since the birth of my daughter) I take Relpax which helps a great deal as long as I take it at the onset of a migraine. Well I started...
Jenny, just curious. How have you been?...
Thanks, that's what I was thinking, especially since I've had several tests that all showed my heart being normal. But after a while it get's you second guessing!! Thanks for the input....
It feels like my heart shivers for a second. It's not a thump thump, it's not a beat at all for just a second. It feels like a gas bubble coming up the middle of my chest between my breasts....
Hi Jenny! The book I found was Cognitive Behavorial Therapy for Anxiety Disorders by Melanie Fennell. Changing your thought patterns are going to change your life!! I am living proof. Remember, it's...
I have to go to work now but I have a lot I want to tell you. I PROMISE I will get back to you later. Probably around 8:00 pm EST. Hang it there, you're going to get better!!!...
Thanks Donna, I thought it would be anxiety but just wanted to double check with other people. Why is it that we always get different symptoms?? :-) At least if it was the same symptom I would know...
Hi, does anyone's heart ever quiver for just a second with their anxiety? Ever since I had my daughter (almost 15 yrs ago) I get all kinds of wierd heart beats. After 10 years of several stress...
I USED to have very very bad anxiety and anxiety attacks for several years. Notice I emphasised (spelling)?? USED. My anxiety no longer takes over my life. I was on antidpressants, mild...
Hi, I have been diagnosed with PVC's. Over a 10 year period I have had 4 stress tests, 2 of them Echo Stress and several EKG's. There is absolute nothing wrong with my heart. I do occasionally get...
Hi Aries8, I haven't had my hormone levels checked, how do they do that? I actually have my annual gyno appt. next week. It stinks in a way that I can't eat any sweets or chocolate without it...
Hello and Happy New Year! Some nights (after eating a sugary or chocolate dessert during the day) I have been getting a wierd heart beat then pain afterward. Sometimes it's a thump or two or a shiver...
Hi, I have an appt. w/ a gastro Dr. on Thurs. so I haven't been diagnosed w/ anything yet but I belch constantly, always have a full feeling in my chest and stomach and a lot of bloating. I also feel...
Hi TT, I have a lot of digestive problems myself. I have an RX for Prevacid but don't take it faithfully. Want I want I want to ask you is, do any tea's bother you? I love tea but they really mess up...
Hi Val123, I know how frightening it must be to think that your symptoms are heart related but you have to trust your Dr.'s. Don't stop living because you're worried about having a heart attack. Take...
OMG! I get that same pain in my back! I just put up a post today and so far 6 people looked at it but I have yet to get a response. I have been having a lot of digestive issues but nothing really...
Hi Chris711, I too get pains in the left side of my chest. I've had 3 stress tests, stress echo's etc. and have been told it is not my heart so that's a relief. I really believe that it's a digestive...
Hi, I have been having a pain in the middle of my back (most of the time between my shoulder blades) on and off for a while now. My Dr. prescribed Prevacid, 30mg once a day. It helped for a little...
/community/emoticons/confused.gif Does tea upset anyone's digestive system? There are so many wonderful tea's out there that I would love to drink but tea seems to really upset my system. I get...
Dear Sad, make sure you get all your ducks in a row with your finances. He might be cleaning out your account as we speak. Not trying to make you more anxious or depressed but you would probably get...
Hi Mary, just when I think I am accepting these darn things I seem to get another symptom along with the pvc's so I kind of get freaked out all over again. I don't know. I'm just so glad I found this...
Hi Robert, does it feel like your Dr. and his staff just want to roll their eyes when you call to make an appt? I don't even bother anymore. I figure if these things are "gonna" kill me then oh well....
Hi Mary and MaryAnn, I am so disgusted with these pvc's. I cannot believe there are so many people out there with them, yet they cannot find out what causes them or how to get rid of them. It does...
Hi Maxx, oh, I feel so bad for you. Don't know if it was you or not I e-mailed, but I take MagOx 400 (Magnesium) 2 tablets and Caltrate plus D, 2 tablets per day and it has really, really helped my...
Hi Neb, since you didn't have any panic attacks while you were not in school, I think you are associating your attacks to your classroom. Try to really think about what is going on. I don't think the...
Thank You hopefullmigrainer, I needed that pep talk. I get so mad at myself sometimes cause I get so wrapped up in the preparation and "anxiety", that I don't have good time. But now that you...
HI Harry4, I understand you were a long time sufferer of panic and anxiety. Well, I could use your help right about now. I too am a sufferer of panic and anxiety. Mine started 12 yrs ago. After I had...
HI Twiggygal, I would like to let you know what helped me. Do you realize that you are making your own comfort zone just by what you are thinking? When you just have to go to a store around the...
Hi Neb, I agree w/ Maree. There might be something underlying that is causing your anxiety. I would try to find out what that is. Another suggestion I have is.....you might be thinking about having...
Hi Pegleg, have you ever tried carob? You can find it in a health food store. It's a good choc. substitute although it is a little bitter. But you won't get the caffeine. I absolutely love Gertrude...
Hi Mary and Maxx, I find that sometimes chocolate or alcohol bothers my pvc's enormously and yet other times they don't. I don't get it. I think it's whether I'm really stressed out or not. I have a...
/community/emoticons/smile.gif Hi Mary, I have been taking a beta blocker called Atenalol. 25mg once a day. My cardio. said it is a very low dosage so I can take more than one if I feel I have to. I...
Hi Mary, I would love to keep in touch with you and Maxx too. I am 45 and live in NJ. Too bad we didn't live closer. Maybe we could have started a support group or something. Its so easy for the...
Hi Mary and Maxx, my gosh, we could be triplets!! LOL Maxx, I'm sorry the xanax didn't work for you. It seems to calm my mind down, if that makes any sense, but I also know it's not really good to...
Hi Maxx, well when I was diagnosed w/ anxiety, the Dr. put me on anti anxiety meds and xanax. I went off the anxiety meds ASAP because they gave me side effects that were worse than how I was already...
Hi Maxx, You might want to read up on anxiety disorders since you don't want to fly. You sound like I was when I didn't know what was happening to me and started having panic attacks. You have to get...
I also have PVC's and am glad I found this forum. I feel so alone. My PVC's started 12 yrs ago after I gave birth to my daughter. (Although I didn't know what they were at the time). 3 months after...
