hi

iv had a few years off and on with anxiety and panic attacks but just the odd day in a week or 2.

ok 3 weeks ago i felt a bit crap like i was comeing down with a cold i had tattoo booked in that day id been waiting 3 months for it so i went and got it done it was my whole arm but just the out line it took 3 hours.ok i got a bit shakey after i went home and just fell to sleep the next day i felt crap went to work come home had a bath i got out and my wife said i got red marks all up my arm i had a massive panic attack and went to the docs they took some blood and it was ok he said you had a good old panic attack.

the next day i woke up with tingling all down the back of my head,neck,ears,back,arms,chest,lower legs,it comes on strong when im in bed first thing as it gets me up at 5 am each day. i get pain in my chest and cramps all day in my stomache and a dull head at night the tingling/burning feeling come on and off all day but mostly on and has done so for 3 weeks not as bad at night i can,t go out the house much it feels that bad i did start to think im going mad and how long can i take this feeling for.

so i went back to the docs they did some more blood test and its ok she gave me 20mg of citalopram one a day been on it 15 days made me a bit better about my self i dont feel i hate my self as much now but the tingly/burning is bad still more neck and back and chest.also for the last 2 years at least 1 or 2 days a week i felt weak had no energy dizzy my legs will feel so weak whats up with me i dont play with my kiRAB i feel that bad i get up and sit on the sofa with a cover on me

Hi,

Please note that your thread has been moved here to the main Anxiety board.

SounRAB like anxiety. You will be ok. I have it too. You just have to take some deep breaths and find some coping skills. Find relaxing things to do like take a bath, get a massage, light some candles, read, reduce stressors in your life, watch your caffeine intake, eliminate it for awhile. Sometimes panic attacks come out of nowhere. They are just a chemical reaction in your body brought on by stress. Years ago I had to go on some antidepressants for awhile. I try to avoid those. But there are needed sometimes. They make some that target anxiety and I used them for only 6 months and weaned myself off of them. You will be ok. Hang in there! I also found some tapes on dealing with anxiety. Those help too! There is help out there!:angel:
