Ugh over the last few days I cannot stop yawning. I take 20mg of Celexa before bed (around 10pm) and it knocks me out within 30 minutes. I have been waking up around 2am and some nights I am not able...
Thanks for the reply Tu Wang! The boost really helped while I was suffering from H. Pylori; I felt nauseous a lot and this was all that I could manage to keep down. I have also tried a few varieties...
I experienced a similar lack of appetite while experiencing indigestion. It was like I was never hungry, but I had to force myself to eat due to issues with my blood sugar. I would try some pepto...
Thanks SC. I have noticed that since the increase that my anxiety is already easier to manage, although I still feel very jittery and am having racing thoughts. I talked to my therapist about my...
Mine also sometimes feel like a fluttering in the chest. There are times when it feels like it skips a beat and jumps up into my throat. This normally lasts only a few seconds, but is enough to make...
JD, I am in a similar boat as you. As SC mentioned sometimes it is just heartburn, but anxiety does cause chest pain. It can be scary to be feeling this way, but try telling yourself that the doctor...
Hello. I have been suffering from reflux and heartburn for a while now; recently it progressed to the point where I was unable to manage it using OTC acid reducers or tums. I have been through...
My fiance and I are going out for a date night tonight; frozen yogurt from Cherry Berry! Yum!...
Hello! I am completing two weeks of antibiotics and omeprazole to treat H Pylori. I have had a barium swallow and they told me that I may have a hiatal hernia and that I have severe reflux in my...
I normally tell myself "EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT" and that is enough to get me through a panic attack, although I have never used this method to help reduce anxiety. No matter how many times...
Hello everyone! I am still getting to know members of this community, but I wanted to say thank you to those that have offered their support! It is comforting to know I am not going through this...
Just an update: I met with my doctor yesterday and she has decided to increase my dose to 20mg. I have been in a constant state of anxiety, with the exception of after I take the Celexa. About 30...
Thanks SC! I have felt on edge lately, but my mood is still great. My digestion has been getting better and I think I'm finally over this cold. I am traveling an hour today to visit my mother and...
JD just checking in to see how you are feeling today. I hope you had a productive and pain free day. :) Worry Wart...
Melissuh, I feel that you should recognize how much work you've put into ensuring that you are healthy. It can be exhausting going back and forth to the doctor and taking medication. I'm...
Well my doctor replied to my message I sent her. She believes it was linked to either the anxiety or heartburn, just like you suggested SC. I called the pharmacy and they said that Celexa can cause...
I know you're overwhelmed right now, but just take it one day at a time. You're in the care of physicians who are running tests to find an answer. I also have anxiety over what to eat due to my...
Cln I understand how you feel. I have panic disorder, so feel anxious frequently. Lately, my anxiety has been worse; before a few months ago I went almost 2 years without having a panic attack....
Hello everyone! I wanted to first thank you for your support through these last few weeks. My health is starting to improve and I have decided to start taking a SSRI to improve my mood and overall...
Hello JD. I was actually about to make a post about this exact same thing. Last night I felt a sharp pain in my upper left side of my chest which lasted for maybe 3 seconds. It happened while...
Hello Irish! Hang in there. I've been where you are and worrying about the test results only causes your more discomfort. Have trust in the doctors that they will know how to help you. I know right...
Hope your appointment goes well tomorrow Hibee. :)...
Hey everyone sorry about the late post. It has been a long week for me already; I'm sick with a viral cold. After already being on antibiotics, this has definitely stopped me in my tracks. I forced...
Deb, You certainly are not alone. I find that when my anxiety gets worse that even the smallest task can overwhelm me. The hardest part for me is admitting that some days I will not get everything...
Hi Pink! Unfortunately it is trial and error. I had the best luck with Zoloft and Trazadone. I'm also considering going on a SSRI to help with my GAD, although I have been having more frequent panic...
I started to feel unwell about two and a half hours ago. My heart began to beat very fast (pulse of 90) and I felt light headed. My fiance thinks I may be having reactive hypoglycemia since I had a...
Thanks SC! I called the pharmacy this afternoon and they told me that this abx shouldn't cause anxiety. I have looked it up on the Internet and although it isn't a high reported side effect, I found...
Feel better soon. ♡...
Thanks for keeping in touch SC! I'm on day two of the antibiotics. The one called metronidazole has some strange side effects, so I'm making an appointment with the doctor on Monday if they don't...
Melissuh, I used to get palipations with anxiety, but I think it's smart to get it checked out if you have insurance. It is frustrating when the doctors don't know how to help you. Just remember that...
I'm sorry you are having a similar experience, Storm. I have had problems with my muscles aching due to anxiety, but never anything to the severity that it was a week ago. I started doing yoga for my...
I've missed work due to an illness for almost 2 weeks now. Every day I have messaged my supervisor and updated her on my appointments, tests being done, and the results. I event messaged her when I...
Just a quick update: Everything got settled out. My friend is coming by to pick me up and take me grocery shopping since I haven't felt well today and cannot stand for very long periods of time....
Hi regress! I am a fellow person that has health anxiety. After I was hospitalized twice with pancreatitus, so whenever I experience stomach problems I freak out. It can be very difficult to feel the...
Thanks SC! Yeah it's nice to know what is going on, but the hardest part is waiting patiently to feel better. My doctor ordered antibiotics for me today, but apparently she forgot to check my chart...
Hello! I was diagnosed recently with acid reflux and a possible small hiatal hernia. I start to feel really bloated, nauseous, and have trouble breathing about 1 1/2 hours after I eat and it lasts...
Yay! That is great news Melissuh. I'm sure you're relieved. :)...
Hey all! My test for H. Pylori just came back positive. I read this is what could also be causing the burning pain in my shoulder blades. I tried the relaxation youtube video last night and it did...
My weekend was horrible; birthday was on Friday and didn't get to do anything fun since I haven't been feeling well. Today has been a lot of ups and downs, but on the plus side I haven't been...
Thanks SC for the resource; I already use meditation so this should be very helpful! Melissuh, in a way it's a relief but I still do not know why I'm having pain in my back and shoulders. I just...
I just got home; the test showed that the barium went back up my esophagus. The person doing the procedure told me that I have very bad reflux. No wonder I get nauseous when I try to eat....
Thank you Melissuh. The pain meds were a last resort; I've been experiencing upper back pain since Wednesday along with light headedness. The biggest barrier right now is controlling the pain enough...
Yesterday evening I resorted to taking the oxycodone 5mg. After about two hours I began to feel the effects and finally had relief from the pain. It was nice to have a night that I could relax....
I hope your appointment goes well on Tuesday, Melissuh! In a way I don't want to be diagnosed with anything new; I already have diet restrictions and am working on loosing weight, so the last thing I...
Thank you for your support Melissuh! I understand the frustration in getting numerous tests run; in a way it helps me to relax knowing that I don't have a problem with my heart. Then I start...
Hi MissGigi! I'm sorry to hear that your husband isn't more supportive of the load you take on. I saw in your signature that you are mother to a 5 year old and also going to college; that's a lot of...
Hi everyone! I'm new HW and have been offering my support to others over the past few days. I've been suffering from panic anxiety disorder for over 5 years, but had what I call a relapse (increase...
