Jen, thank you.! I wasn't able to get in this week and next week I won't be able to go because I am moving. Unfortunately I have to wait until the 2nd week of November. I have discontinued using the...
I am feeling super anxious on Omeprazole. I have anxiety anyway, but this has magnified it by 200%. I have been taking it faithfully for over a week now and the past few days have been horrible for...
I just started omeprazole last week and for the past few days I have had a horrible time swallowing (I have problems with this anyway, but it's intense now). Not just with food getting stuck in my...
My doctor was/is the same way. He says there is nothing wrong with my heart, but since there is a lot of heart disease in my family, I can't beleive it is all anxiety. I scheduled an appointment with...
Thank you guys for taking the time to read that long post. I know you can't diagnose, but I was rather looking for someonenwhomcould relate. The swallowing and chest pain, although almost torturous,...
Okay, so this is long. I know I have anxiety, but I really think the anxiety is cause by a medical condition. I have listed my history below. If you can take the time, please give me your thoughts. I...
Oh, I'm so sorry!!! I know we haven't talked that much because I'm "newer" to the forum, but I do recall you having very nice and positive comments for me. (((((hugs)))))...
My doctor knows that klonopin is just about the only med that's works for me. I've been on them for many years and have just recently had to uP the dosage. He actually gets on to me when I take less...
Merrida, thanks for the info. It's so helpful to get insight from others who have had similar experiences!...
Larry, that is horrible! You know. I never had those classic symptoms of reflux. I guess really the only issue was the chest pain. I do have swallowing problems, but that seems more neurological than...
this morning, so with being upset about all these symptoms of my anxiety, I also had that looming in my mind while trying to talk with the doctor. Anywho, he talked with me, went over all the tests...
I had my doctors appt. today and I was a mess. I got a call while in the waiting room that a long time friend passed this morning, so with being upset about all these symptoms of my anxiety, I also...
Thank you BeRock. Sometimes I forget that....like my mind went straight to heart surgery!...
Aw, how precious of your niece! I do this quite a bit too. I'm always asking the kids if they're alright. My 5 yo son has learned to play me though. He'll say he has a headache or a tummy ache. He'll...
I hope so. These aches don't feel like tension aches. It feels different and I don't know how to explain it....
Thank you! I will try some distraction. I have been taking my klonopin and it helps ease my mind a bit, but the pains still come and go. It's just terrifying. My husband is so supportive and I'm so...
Hey guys. I know you should never mess around with chest pain, but after you've been told by your doctors that your heart is fine, how do you know when the chest pain isn't anxiety? I am having weird...
This is exactly how I've felt for the past weeks. My aches are all over my body, mostly arms and legs. I am having a little chest pain too. I'm convinced I am going to have a heart attack :( I've...
It's horrible to feel this way. I keep thinking I'm having pulmonary issues or something. I made an appointment with my doctor for in the morning. In the meantime I have taken aspirin. I'm scared of...
I have been experiencing body aches for the past week. These aches come and go frequently during the day. These are mild aches. They do not feel like they are in my actual joints, but rather in the...
Well, I have a new symptom. Last night, all of the sudden my pinky finger on my left hand felt sore, then a little later that side of my hand felt very tender just touching the skin as though it had...
This is a horrible anxiety symptom for me. Actually the worst ever and it's a constant in my life. I have never choked, so I'm not sure why I have problems swallowing. It's like I just forget....chew...
Hi coopsmom! I too felt like that on zoloft and the klonopin didn't help take the edge off. I discontinued/weaned the zoloft after about 4 weeks because I just couldn't take it anymore. I'm not...
Fox, So sorry to hear about this. I have horrible feelings about early/accidental death due to losing some friends and relatives too soon. It's a horrible feeling and while I try to enjoy every...
Yes, I know exactly what you are talking about. I get the heavy chest feeling all of the time. It's one of my "milder" symptoms, so I don't usually panic about this one. I typically take deep breaths...
Hi all. I am jumping over from the anxiety board because I have recently been diagnosed with acid reflux resulting from a barium swallow. Along with this, the pill got stuck in 4 areas. The doc said...
Yes! I know exactly what you're going through and I'm sorry. I just responded to another thread post and I listed the same symptoms you had, but I also get swallowing difficulties with mine....
I get this too. My temper and anxiety get to me during this time as well. Ibuprofen and hot baths work wonders. Also, try the therms are heat wraps....
I'm sorry your husband isn't supportive. That must make it really hard for you to cope. I also wanted to tell you that my day was almost exactly like yours. Took the kids to visit their gma, on the...
Hey! I hopped over to this board to ask another question, but saw this thread and thought I would answer as well. I am usually on the anxiety board. I have that sensation and have for 19 years. My...
So sorry to hear you're going through this at such a young age. Mine started very young as well. You can't get better advice than what Kitt gave to you, but just wanted you to know that we're here....
Sylknmyst, I get this too and as you've already seen, it could be caused by anxiety. I hope you're feeling better!...
SpoiledSAHM...I've often wondered if some of the worst symptoms are sparked by hormones. I just find it so odd that we felt the best during our pregnancies. Perhaps it was the extra vitamins too. I...
Thanks Panoramic! I must say the anxiety is no fun, which makes me no fun. I too try and do stretches and deep breathing. I have tightness is my throat too. It's really uncomfortable. I can feel...
I have symptoms everyday. Mine are mainly weird tongue sensations, like my tongue feels tight and sometimes feels like it is cramping as well as having the same sensations under my chin. This...
Thank you Gizmo! I'm sorry you have to go through it at all!!! Excuse all of my typos...I am on my phone, with badly cracked screen. I can barely see what I'm typing :). Some little girl dropped my...
Hi guys! Thank y'all do much for responding. It's been a busy day with work and kids, so I felt pretty good today. When my mind is busy, I seem to be a little better. I always try and distracts self....
Joshua, I'm sorry, I know that must be horrible. You're right, baby steps! I hope you are making progress in your healing journey. I feel a lot better. I did have to give in to the klonopin, but hey,...
Joshua, thank you so much for your response. Well, the symptoms lessened enough to be able to cry now, that's good. I just can't stand feeling this way. It is true that we play this horror story in...
My husband is away tonight and I am quietly panicking for some reason while my two children sleep. I am pretty sure I'm having a classic panic attack, starts (always) with not being able to swallow,...
Thank you for the welcome Hibbe! Littlepetal, I'm still suffering with the ears, especially the one with the busted eardrum. I've always had problems with my ears and TMJ, I just never associated...

LP, thank you! I am very new to the group and I was amazed at the kind, gentle, understanding words and outstanding advice I received on my first post. It was so encouraging and helped me at a time...
Thank you for your kinds words littlepetal! So the swallowing and pain in my jaw joints was so bad yesterday I made a dr. Appt. by the time I got there my ears felt like they were going to pop! I...
Hello all and thank you for the warm welcome! Thank you very much for the words of wisdom and book recommendations. I am checking into CBT. I hope they offer something in my area! Well, I am up again...
Hey everyone! I am new to the group, but not to panic and anxiety. I am looking for support because I have come to a point where i simply can't cope. I feel horrible sometimes and I just need a place...
