Thanks for the responses Sherrine and Ljm2014 :) Yes I have been tested for everything under the sun including lupus and lyme disease...the only things that come back in my bloodwork are high...
Hello everyone, I am usually over on the anxiety and panic forum. I will give you a quick background so you understand where I am coming from. I am currently 25, from Canada. I have been ill 4 years...
Hello, Sorry to hear you are going through this right now :( I had the exact same type sensations I would get random tachycardia and like constant palpitations and they came on suddenly and didn't...
And on a good note I will probably be hanging out with me re-found guy friend tonight. Apparently he baked cookies... That should be interesting... I don't think he learned those skills in the army...
Thanks S.C. I just did some mindfulness meditation for like 5 minutes and I noticed a huge difference. Still exhausted but I felt like I could sleep and felt calm. I don't think I should sleep though...
Hope you managed to get some sleep :) I went through the whole not sleeping thing as well last night, I think a lot of people did. Didn't get to sleep until 4:30am, ugh... At least you have some meds...
Hey thanks for the replies guys, I really appreciate it. It is good to know I am not alone (I kind of knew that already but the irrational fear sets in as you all know)... Managed to get 4 separate...
Hey everyone, Been a little while since I have posted anything. I have been here reading people's posts but haven't really felt bad enough to post anything. Until tonight. Yes it is 2:34am and I am...
Thanks Cat and S.C., I am really hoping it was just a vasovagal response but it lasted a long time and he hasn't really felt perfectly right since. He goes for a nuclear stress test next friday so...
Hey everyone, Hope your are all doing well and as anxiety free as possible. I haven't been around in a little bit since the cipralex I had taken for 4 days sent me to the ER with the worst panic...
Hey, So the turkey is in the oven... I was so tense and anxious yesterday thinking about how today would go that I tired myself out by noon by just thinking lol. Today I woke up earlier than usual,...
Hey everyone, Does anyone go through this cycle... feel relatively fine one day and can go out maybe with just minor anxiety and then the next day be bedridden sore and achy along with crippling...
Hey everyone, hope you are all doing your best!! So my anxiety has been pretty darn good the past week, I even went out with my parents all day Friday and Saturday. By the end of Saturday though I...
Thanks s.c. and cat. I feel a little better tonight. Third eye blind? Is that a band or something? So no I'm not a fan obviously lol. Ya I'm up to using another ssri but only if like you said I get a...
Hey everyone, So I'm going to rant a bit and ask some questions of you guys. I know you aren't doctors but I can't get into mine for 2 weeks so you guys are my best shot to hopefully ease my mind a...
That's great news Melissuh!! Geez, your story all along has been so similar to mine... Makes me wonder if my palpitations are actually palpitations because I have had a Holter Monitor and they said...
Thanks for replying. Sorry to hear about your struggles. My gp got the report from the rheumatologist and it says I have fibro, seronegative arthritis (specific kind to still be determined) and my gp...
Great thank u so much Scaredy cat! I will definitely put some of these to good use....
Hi, Thanks for the responses and support. Hibee I went off the cipralex, as the er doc suggested. Scaredy cat, I can't get back into my doc until november. I want to be referred to a psychiatrist who...
Hey everyone, Hope you are doing as well as possible. Ugh so as a few of you know I had started cipralex 2 weeks ago and I took it for 4 or 5 days until I had increased anxiety that led to a panic...
Thanks Scaredy cat. I just woke up here (1:40pm ontario canada) I feel a little better, had a shower ate something. I still feel on edge and weak but I think that's normal for what I went through....
Hi, Thanks hibee for the response. So apparently keeping on it isn't an option as I spent the night in the er due to the worst panic attacks I have ever experienced and they just kept coming in waves...
Hi everyone, So I was at my doctor trying to figure out my health problems and one of those is anxiety which makes my others worse. I am 24. I had an anxiety attack right there in front of him. He...
Thanks everyone for the replies. I didn't really think it added up either. I have done some research and I've never had symptoms similar to it so I think the doctors are grasping at straws because...
Hi everyone, So I came back from my follow up at the rheumatologist and this is basically what he had to say. I came back positive for parvovirus, it isn't active at the moment but I have had it...
Hi, I know what you mean about heart issues and even though docs tell you every thing is normal and healthy or benign it does not ease the mind when you continue to have symptoms. I have had all the...
Hi all, Normally I'm on the fibromyalgia and anxiety forums here but I am quite suspicious of lyme as I know I have been bitten at least once but I didn't notice getting bit when symptoms started. I...
It's OK myself, I'm just cranky from being tired lol. And my post probably Isn't coherent as my brain is very foggy. And yes I hope that's all it is. When I was mildly tired my body told me don't do...
I have actually been on here for awhile now I just don't post very often. I have been diagnosed with fibro and have had it for about 3 years now. I am 24. I already have health anxiety and I spend a...
Hi everyone, So this past week I have been very tired. I could still function just not as much. I went shopping all day Saturday which was my first mistake but my mother made me go. I was already...
If It Isn't allowed I'm sorry and please take It down. I saw this link on Facebook and I think alot of us can relate to these artists drawings of anxiety....
Well I just woke up hehe. But I didn't get to sleep until after 2 again. So now I'm a zombie but that's ok. Pain wise, it is bad. How can I have so much pain in my upper back with no apparent cause?...
Hi, Thanks for your help. It's true I probably don't have the condition it is just I saw that and like you said I focus on it and my mind runs with it. Scaredy cat, I just saw the thread you posted...
Hey everyone, This is more of a vent than anything else. I have been having a lot of anxiety the last week. I had a break yesterday in the morning which was nice but then I saw a story on the news...
Hi park, It sounds like we are going through similar things. I'm not on zoloft but am on a beta blocker. It slows my heart down to about 60-70 bpm which is a lot slower than it was. It is a freaky...
Yes I just bought pencil crayons and a big colouring book. It does help calm the mind by giving it something to focus on other than the anxiety. I love horses so I bought a big horse themed book...
Hi, It is literally just dinner that causes this. I also kind of have health anxiety and I don't know if this makes sense but I think because dinner is the biggest meal of the day and I'm eating fat...
Hi all, This may be weird and I don't even know if it it's a real form of anxiety but does anyone get anxiety when they are about to eat/are eating? For the past little while I get super anxious...
Thanks everyone for the replies. I can report that the arm pain is gone but I have come down with some kind of flu like bug, ugh can I ever catch a break? Melissuh I have seen your posts here and on...
Hi everyone, I am coming over here from the fibromyalgia forum. It is a long story but I will keep it to the need to know, current information. 2 years ago I started having heart palps and chest...
Sorry to be such a pain. But those of you who read my post yesterday (arm pain anybody) knows that I have been having mostly left arm pain. Yesterday was really bad in my bicep and it radiated to my...
Hey, Thanks for the replies. The thing is is that I haven't overworked my arm. Like my legs from the knee down are killing me today but I did a lot of walking yesterday so I expected that. My arms...
Hi all, I have been having some bad aching and pain in my left arm for about a week and a half now. It comes and goes but some days it is there from the moment I wake up until bed. My right arm aches...
My fur babies are pet rats. They can always put a smile on my face even when I feel horrible. They are quite friendly creatures and they each have their own personalities believe it or not. They love...
