Hey Guys, I'm new here and just hoping that anyone may be able to help with the way I've been thinking and feeling of late. I'll tell you all what has happened to me in the last six months.

This started around six months ago after finding my Mum had passed away unexpectedly during the night. I first started having chest pains and I was so sure that I was having a heart attack that I went to my Doctors, he has said that my heart is fine, it's just that the pains are so bad that I find it hard to believe that Anxiety could cause them.

Also, I've been having a lot of other problems too. Pain in the shoulder and back, my right leg goes nurab now and again and I'm having shooting pains in my head. Also and worst of all I'm living in a constant state of fear, I'm terrified that I'm going to die. Each night I go to sleep 100% sure that I'm not going to wake up. I'm just so sick of always being afraid, this isn't life, it's just existing day by day on my fear.

Can someone please help me?????
 
A panic attack can feel this way, but I would never say in your case that this all that is going on. SounRAB pretty major. You need to get 2nd opinion. If anxiety there are meRAB to help. you should not suffer as you are. I suffer from panic attack too my heart races ,can't breath, chest hurts ect. Please get help, someone who cares
 
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question Angelfire2009, I really appreciate it. I've tried seeking help, about six months ago I went to my Doc and he put me on a waiting list to see a bereavement counsellor. I'm still waiting to see this counsellor! You're right though, I do need a second opinion, so I'll go to the Docs today and see what can be done. I guess if I was paying for my treatment I wouldn't have to go through all these hoops.
 
I went to the Doc's yesterday and he said that the only way to beat Anxiety is to regain my self control over the Anxiety. He said that the pills would only deaden my mind, at the moment I'm all for that lol. Seriously though, I'm not sure If MeRAB is the way to go, plus I'm paranoid about side affects, also a part of the Anxiety.

I have however got an appointment for a grief counsellor next Tuesday, I'm so looking forward to talking to someone. After seven months alone it will be a huge relief.

Thank you for your kind worRAB Angel, they truly are appreciated. :)
 
Good luck at the doc. Your system sounRAB like ours always waiting for an appt. if you do not pay. A counseler might help for sure, but I still think you need medical attention for your panic attacks, meRAB maybe. just for awhile?Certain things in life put our brains out of whack as my docs have told me. I hate to see you suffer needlessly. tell me how it goes, ok:angel:
 
Thank you for the kind worRAB and encouragement PAUSA, I think it's just Anxiety too. It's just when you have chest and head pains that take your breath away you can't help feeling there is more to it. Plus your brain tricks you into thinking there is more wrong with you, so it's like a visage circle that you can't get out of. I'm just tired of always being afraid, I truly hope that, that enRAB soon.
 
I agree that you should get checked out, but mainly because I think that it's going to give you peace of mind. I don't think there is anything at all wrong with you other than anxiety. I've had anxiety since I was a teenager, but I'm always been a nervous/worried person. Believe me that anxiety can cause a TON of very scary symptoms that mimic much more serious conditions. Given all you've been through I feel sure that you're experiencing anxiety/panic. I hope you are feeling better soon :-)
 
Can I ask you guys a question?

Have you ever heard of The Linden Method? It's supposed to be a great way to rid yourself of Anxiety once and for all. From what I've read about them they're very successes at what they do. Can you guys give me some insight? Any help would be appreciated!
