Yeah, that definitely can be an effect of high anxiety or panic. The adrenaline rush is likely the physical cause of those symptoms. I've gotten senses of unreality several times from my anxiety and...
I swear every time I go to the doctor, it is ALWAYS blamed on my anxiety and panic. Its sort of why I don't go as often anymore because I realize how much I make my own world so terribly...
Well, it can vary. But if you're constantly worried about the symptoms (or worried in general) the symptoms can continue to show themselves. It can be a pretty nasty self-created process in which I'm...
Thanks for the replies. I would say vitamin deficiency, while possible, isn't too likely as I do take a variety of supplements and eat a mostly balanced, whole foods diet. The fatigue does seem to be...
I am wondering if anyone else here has experienced similar symptoms due to anxiety. For the last year or so, I have been experiencing aggravating muscle twitching. It started with my left lower...
I empathize. I've gone through bouts of so many symptoms, and it always ends up being chalked up to anxiety and panic. It can really mimic an insane slew of conditions. Everytime I think something is...
Thanks for the kind words, Scaredy Cat. I can certainly say CBT has helped me, but not a whole lot to this point. I would say it has helped prevent many panic attacks, but my levels of anxiety are...
What scaredy cat said. This very well could be anxiety or panic (I've had that happen many, many times when falling asleep). But it is also a symptom of sleep apnea. Do you snore much? You could try...
Jconi, like getting by said, to be on the safe side I would contact a doctor. However, if you never felt weird and simply read something on a monitor, it very well could be the monitor as well, so I...
Thanks for the reply. Hmm. When you say write the judge, do you mean send a personal letter back with a hardship claim? From all I've heard regarding anxiety disorders, judges will usually require a...
IMO, she isn't worth your time or heart if she can't understand a condition like this. I don't necessarily think you should throw it around like candy, but as part of conversation I see no harm in...
I introduced myself in the GERD forum, but I figured I'd introduce myself here since many of you may not go into that forum. I'm Jeff, I'm 28 years old, and I have been dealing with panic and anxiety...
How was the heart rate measured? Did you feel anything weird like dizziness or did a heart rate monitor simply show the change in numbers? You never know if a monitor isn't working properly. Also, it...
Interesting. Shortness of breath and chest tightness can really be from a whole slew of things. The way you described the worst night almost sound similar to a night of recurrent panic attacks....
I'm not going to try any of this just yet (my esophagus is in the process of healing) but I would love to be able to have a morning coffee again. I didn't even know there were low acid coffees out...
Thanks for the links Ashley. I actually had found these charts but was unsure what to trust with all the contradiction I found from other ones. These seem to resemble my understanding of the...
Hello everyone. My name is Jeff and I'm 28 years old. I found this nice community while researching acid reflux/GERD. Usually my biggest health concerns are related to panic disorder and other...
