Anxiety sucks big time! Some people will look at you like you're crazy and weak. But not most of them will because people here will understand you and not think that you're crazy or mentally weak. We...
I'm deeply saddened upon hearing about this. When I was so afraid about dying she was there along with the others to give me comfort and guided on how to not give in to the fear. She has real cancer...
THIS FORUM IS AMAZING IN SO MANY WAYS! PEOPLE ARE AWESOME AND CAN SEND POSITIVE VIBES TO THOSE WHO WORRY SO MUCH! I THANK ALL THE PEOPLE HERE WHO GIVES A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT TO REACH OUT THOSE WHO...
Yes there were a lot of amazing changes in which I hope for everyone too! There was also a time when I felt I don't belong to the "Anxiety disorder" category as I want to label myself as "terminally...
Since this post is regarding my blood pressure concern. It's all good now. It doesn't spike anymore or feel like it since I don't check my BP too often anymore. I just trust my heart that it has no...
Thanks S.C. I missed all of you as well. I'm so thankful to have a family in this forum who understands people who are going through this kind of thing. Some of my friends still think I'm just making...
If your pupil constricts when you put a light on it, you're all good. You can see it react to light using a mirror and a flashlight. If it reacts as fast as you flash it with a light. It's good. This...
Also constantly checking your pulse only adds to your worries. It feeds the fear thus not helping in breaking the anxiety cycle. Before when I was having a panic attack sometimes my pulse will go up...
I also had what you're experiencing right now. Heart starts pumping hard and fast for no reason. As soon as you think something serious is going on you start to feel lightheaded and have cold sweats...
I'm just looking back reading several post I made in the past and seeing how much have really changed. Actually there's a lot! I see how hopeless I was before with constantly having panic attacks and...
I'm exactly like you. I started to have severe health anxiety last year. Like you I always think about the worst things like having cancer and dying soon. Constantly thinking about having a serious...
Hope everything turns out to be ok so you don't have to worry that much anymore. It's good to have a solid evidence that everything is fine to back-up all your positive thoughts whenever you'll feel...
I've been away for awhile again and I'm glad to read from someone who has a motivational and positive post since being able to log in here last January. I'm happy to hear from someone who's getting...
I totally agree that there's a light at the end of the tunnel! Life consists of many tunnels though, some are worse than others. But it doesn't always stay dark! There will also be sunny green...
I don't post here often lately but I always include all of you guys in my prayers, especially you kitt. Despite having dx w/ cancer in which I can only imagine having, you still reach out to help...
Take care and have enough rest!...
What Larry said is true, living is the only thing that can kill the fear. Little steps at a time, take melzmoda's advice for example, set a time limit like 5 mins not to think about your heart and...
Funny thing about anxiety is that symptoms only show up whenever we are consciously or subconsciously aware we are under a threat that doesn't really exist which is unfortunately when we're awake....
Everything they said is true! sometimes my heart fluttering is either caused by my anxiety alone or some excess gas in my stomach. I used to get the feeling more often after I eat and when I burp it...
You're going to beat this! I'll pray for you!...
This issue with high blood pressure made me develop health anxiety. Before I was already aware that I don't eat the proper and right amount of food (too salty, too much cholesterol) and get enough...
You're panicking as you are definitely sure to yourself something is wrong but the truth is there's not. I also had chest pain on the left side before when my anxiety was so high. At that time I was...
prayers here for you soul! wish you get better soon!...
I'm sooo happy for you!!! God truly listens and moves mountains! Have faith everyone! Don't let anxiety beat us! stkitt is simply an example of courage! thanks stkitt!! wish you more good health and...
I also have health anxiety just like you. I just decided one day to stop playing doctor to myself as it just makes me more afraid and wastes my time. Try to distract yourself on other things. Don't...
I'm exactly like you several months ago. When I had my first panic attack i started to have them more frequently in the days that followed. I also felt i have a serious disease and will die soon...
There are also times for me when my heart would race and have no emotional trigger before it happens. Sometimes I'm just sitting. There are times when my anxiety is high doing some work can send my...
This is exactly what happens if we don't know what's going wrong with us. For me sometimes my panic attacks will come out of nowhere and I was like "what possibly could've triggered it" and my mind...
I've also gone through all of these. I developed this health anxiety thing out of it which made my panic attacks worse. I lost too much weight from not eating much cause I wanted to cut down on my...
When we're anxious our body is on alert and will be so sensitive to what it feels. It's on guard to what may happen next especially if your trying so hard preventing yourself from having a panic...
Hope your brothers girlfriend low potassium attack is just caused by poor diet alone, or diarrhea, excessive sweating or vomiting that are reversible. In these cases if it ever happens to us, we...
God is by your side! Prayers coming your way. Have more strength, faith and hope. I don't have anything more to say cause I'm also going through a rough time and I don't have an idea what to do and...
I had this what they cal scintillating scotoma or visual migraine. I had 3 episodes of it already. Mine started november last year, it freaked the hell out of me, I didn't have the numbness thing but...
Do you have the same visual disturbance like mine? Like when moving your sight from one object to another there's this mist-like shadow going across your vision, like my mind can't process the new...
I just got a free blood sugar test again on our mall. My last meal was taken 5pm and had this test today at 7pm. My blood sugar now is 40mg/dl!!!!! Why does it stay low and seems to get worse? Do I...
I'm a male 27y/o. For the last two days I was having tremors in my legs when standing and sitting as if the ground is mildly shaking. I asked my wife if she could feel the ground shaking too and said...
Here's my brief story. I'm a guy 27 y/o. I started metroprolol due to bp spikes which started last January where it reached 170/117. I was in the pre-hypertension stage at that time. I started to...
Can it also be from weaning down on my beta blocker which is causing me to release too much adrenaline that burns up my sugar? I'm not anxious at first but feeling sick makes me feel anxious. It's...
Thanks for squeezing in some of your time to reply on my post. I feel guilty letting you read it cause I know you care a lot for all of us here in HW and somehow you feel for us. I didn't mean to...
I suspect I could possibly have diabetes cause, I urinate more frequently. When I drink a glass of water, I can get it out and urinate after 5-6 mins after drinking. It always happen to me and it...
Day 10: I can't stop myself from crying right now. I'm a guy 27 y/o. Now posting an emotional stuff. I can't sleep and my wife's not with me right now she went to her mother's house till Sunday. I...
Me, most of the time I would be having nightmares or vivid dreams which I don't usually have before. It can happen 3-4 nights in a row with bad dreams eventually waking me up that makes my heart race...
Yea I can be anxious with symptoms for 2-6 days in a row. Feeling dizzy, legs wobbly, no energy, having the feeling of a panic attack just waiting for the best time to strike, sometimes they become...
Glad to hear you got the right help you needed. Sometimes not everything works out fine. I've heard a lot of people switched from different therapists and spent a lot of cash until they found the...
For the last two days I was having tremors in my legs when standing and sitting as if the ground is mildly shaking. I asked my wife if she could feel the ground shaking too and said she couldn't....
It can be annoying the ups and downs especially when it happens within a day. Hope you'll get enough good rest....
Prayers coming your way! Hope you can get yourself checked out and see if there's any kryptonite inside you that needs to be treated....
Thanks Larry! Now I get it, taking risk and pushing oneself to reasonable limits are just fine. I agree with you, it's better to walk outside than staying at home worrying too much and doing nothing....
Larry, I'm sorry I really don't want to ask this question but I'm curious. Do you think PAD had something to do with you eventually having a real HA? or your HA absolutely had nothing to do with you...
I want to share what I've just read. _____________________________________________________________________ 1. “Anxiety is love’s greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man...
