I'm really sorry that you're going through this...I know firsthand that it isn't fun. I think that neurologically related symptoms are fairly common in anxiety though, but the hard part is wrapping...
Hey everyone, It's been a rougher than usual few months for me and I haven't been to therapy for a while after a falling out with my therapist who was actually doing me a lot of good, but she was...
Thanks S.C. - I appreciate your reassurance! You're right, just when we have one symptom under control, another new one (or two!) pop up and put us seemingly back at square one. I was actually going...
My anxiety has been back up for the past month or so which is somewhat surprising since I've started exercising and it's been about 5-6 weeks of treadmill and pilates, but it doesn't seem to be doing...
First of all, Happy New Year everyone!!! I haven't posted for a while because I've been trying to limit my amount of anxiety information so that I don't allow my OCD to start obsessing over things I...
I was moving furniture with my husband today and we were carrying couches upstairs and downstairs and I noticed that right after I got this head pressure in the top of my head and my eyes felt heavy...
Hi there...just want to say that you certainly aren't alone in dealing with your PVC's and I know first hand how scary they can be. I just actually posted a response in the "PVC's are ruining my...
I started having PVC's during high stress/anxiety times in my life several years ago. At that time they would only occur when I was stressed and anxious. However, now I notice that I experience them...
I try to do the deep breathing occasionally...sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn't. My heart doesn't typically race. At times it does when I'm anxious and other times when I'm anxious it...
after you start to recover from anxiety/panic for your symptoms and sensations to start to go away? I've been doing pretty well for the past few days, but today I was cleaning my house and my...
It's funny how things work because this morning I was putting dishes away in my kitchen and I felt the slightest feeling that my heart was all in a flutter and I typically don't have that, I'm more...
Hi S.C., Sending lots of positive thoughts, well wishes, strength and faith your way today. Everything is going to be fine, but I know how hard it can be to rationalize that in our minds sometimes....
Phoenix it's funny you mention GERD because for the past week I've been getting pain behind my left breast and also right in between my ribs at the top of my stomach and sometimes the pain goes up...
Yes. You made it through and you have to realize or try to realize that alcohol was the root cause of your anxiety. Unfortunately you have two choices right now... Keep drinking and having anxiety...
Hey Shaun, I understand first hand how scary palpitations are. They are my number one complaint due to anxiety and my OCD allows me to fixate on them almost constantly. I'm hoping my CBT therapy will...
Then you need to go to the nearest hospital or emergency room and have yourself checked out because you won't rest it doesn't sound like until you do. I'm most certain that you're have post drinking...
dakota, thank you for those :-) I'm going to print them out and then transfer them onto index cards so I can add them to my collection of positive affirmations I carry around with me at all times....
Dizziness is a symptom of anxiety that comes and goes for me, too. Sometimes I'll be able to go for a long time without it and then other times I feel like I'm on a boat almost all day. It's funny...
Absolutely this can be caused by anxiety!! I have had this happen on several occasions and the one night I woke up and went immediately to the ER because I was gasping for air and literally felt like...
Thank you Nikcin3 and Littlepetal for your prayers...I really appreciate that :-) S.C., thank you as always for your continued support and encouragement. I know that dealing with all of this is going...
My therapist said most often anxiety is co-morbid with OCD which it is in my case and we can't turn it off because we obsess over it and we have obsessive thoughts continually and it creates more...
I've posted on here before about my palpitations and I'm currently about a month or so into CBT with a really great therapist who would probably have a fit if she knew I was on here since one of my...
I know exactly what you mean. I get sharp pains in the side of my head from time to time and also can get a lot of pressure (almost like sand on the top of my head). I had some sharp pains yesterday...
Thanks Fox :-) I appreciate the positive reinforcement! Having tests done used to ease my mind for a few months, but now I think I'm so deep into my fears of cardiac issues and my PVC's that it's...
Hi hazelnut... I think I understand what you might be talking about. I've had pressure in my head before also and I know how you feel when you say it's not really tingling, but it is. I've literally...
Thanks for replying :-) I'm just so frustrated because when I don't have the palpitations my anxiety is so so much more manageable like I said before. As soon as I notice they start to come more...
Great news Fox!! So glad to hear that your test went so well :-) I also have heart anxiety and PVC's and my most recent StressEcho was in April and I was told that I have a picture perfect heart as...
I just wanted to post to get some advice, opinions and suggestions. Sometimes I think that those of us with anxiety over-think everything so much that it's hard to get a clear picture of what's...
I have anxiety induced by exercise as well. My anxiety is 90% caused by heart palpitations. When I don't have those, my anxiety levels are so so much lower, but the minute they start up...BOOM! There...
Hi there hawkeye :-) I have never used the Linden Method, but I have read and re read "From Panic to Power" by Lucinda Bassett and it was a wonderful wonderful book!! It actually helped me to manage...
I agree with your theory and that happens to be sometimes most definitely. The thing I don't understand is why I get these palps at random times even when adrenaline has not been released. I can wake...
I really don't understand this. I started getting palpitations a lot last April while I was actually on Pristiq for migraines/anxiety which is bizarre if you ask me since that should have been...
Sorry you have this too, but always nice to hear that you aren't alone in your fears :-) I hope yours gets better!!...
I used to be very secretive about my anxiety disorder because I didn't want people to think I was some head case with a bunch of "make believe" problems and I've heard people in the past label those...
Yes, I see it now, thank you :-) Some of those symptoms sound like me. I guess it's just hard to relax and not hyper focus on every single little sensation and dwell on it being something serious....
Thank you so much for this reply! I'm having such a hard time right now and my palpitations are putting me in a constant state of fear and worry even when I'm not having them because they scare me...
Hey everyone, Last Wednesday night we had a thunderstorm and my son woke me up to come in and lay down with him. Well, a big clap of thunder came and he shot his arm over while it was in a fist and...
I'm going to look into the CBT online that was posted above because I can't find any therapists in my area who are trained in that type of counseling. I really feel like I need something because my...
I'm a huge sufferer of cardiophobia!! If you've read my other post on here then you already know that I get palpitations really bad sometimes and the times I don't have them I'm worrying about when I...
I appreciate everyone's kind words and support, thank you :-). For those of you that have said you've successfully stopped allowing the palpitations to cause tremendous amounts of fear and...
Hi everyone, I joined this forum to hopefully gain some peace of mind and advice from the members here. I'm a 28 year old wife and mother and have a wonderful family and support system. However, no...
