I have been living with anxiety my whole life it seems. Over the last couple years it has caused me to have muscle tension/pain in my shoulders and now my neck as well. Since April I have headaches/migraines. I stopped working and some days I have to stay on my couch the whole day because of how the pain has gotten. I am getting health insurance next month but I just wanted to know if anyone has had this extreme physical pain from anxiety or is it possibly something else?

Because a couple of weeks ago I have had this horrible anxiety like panic attack and it causes dizziness, nausea, wanting to vomit, headaches and weak feelings inside my body. So what can make me better. I’ve just started taking Rescue Remedy drops every night and I hear that helps.

Susan M asked:


After four hours on a flight to Europe, my husband told me that he was concerned because his face and hands were numb. After I told the flight attendant, she gave him oxygen which seemed to calm him down and help him relax. As soon as the oxygen ran out, his numbness and shallow breathing returned. I also noticed that he was sweating and he had to go to the bathroom all of a sudden several times.

My husband loves to travel and has been on planes his whole life. He has always felt a little sick to his stomach while flying but that has never stopped him from flying all over the world. After looking online, it seems that he has some type of anxiety related to flying. When he gets home he will be going to a doctor, but in the meantime we are flying home next week. Does anybody have any help or suggestions for how to help him if he begins to notice the same symptoms on the flight home? Thank you!

ReRe asked:


I probably do have a panic disorder (family history), but it’s strange because I don’t have that anxiety, that all-of-a-sudden fear that most panic attacks have. My symptoms are:

Chest pains
Sudden Dizziness
Heart Palapatations, followed by sudden loss of breath (just a few seconds long)
Heartburn (I don’t know if this relates to it)

FYI: They all don’t come at once.

If somebody knows what I’m going through or is a doctor, please give me your opinion.

Thanks.

Jake M asked:


I’ve been having symptoms of numbness in my upper left arm, my face feels a little numb, I get rapid heart beat, and sometimes hot flashes all randomly throughout the day and at night is when it starts to get a lot worse. I was prescribed Klonopin today. and I was wondering how long it takes to get in your system. I am taking half a miligram breaking the pill in half and taking a half twice a day. I’ve been really scared that something is wrong with me and I was wondering if all the symptoms I listed above are normal to keep happening during the day? Also, I took my Klonopin earlier and it made me feel a bit better and about 3 hours later it was worn off. Does anyone know why? I just need some advise and relief that things are gonna be okay. Half the time I don’t know what to do. I can barely even eat right. I get spasms in my neck when I start to eat. I don’t know. Can anyone give me any advise?

Mommytobe asked:


I would really like to talk with someone who is going through the same thing. The first symptom I ever had was numbing of my hands, then a few days later my left foot, leg, arm and hand went numb. My throat closed up and my heartrate was extremley high. I thought I was going to die from a heartattack. All I could think about was my little girl living her life without her mom. So anyways, I went to the hospital and he told me I was having a panic attack. Few days later, it was not only my left side but also my right foot, leg, arm and hand.. ocassionally my head, face and lower back. I went to a different doctor and he said they werent panic attacks because they only affect the left side, is this true?? He said the numbness of my right side had to be from something different other than panic attacks but I personally think they are panic attacks but not 100% sure. No one has given me any medication to help it and its starting to become very bothersome and nerve wracking. Anyone else experience panic attacks that result in right side numbness?? Oh and sometimes I dont feel like Im having a panic attack but my limbs will still go numb and ive noticed that the attacks only come at night ???

Charnell asked:


I’ve always wondered if maybe I have a thyroid issue since I’ve been suffering from brain fog and anxiety/panic attacks for 11 years now. But studying Thyroid dysfunctions, I don’t see all the symptoms matching me, until I found one symptom.

TOLOSA-HUNT.

The symptoms include:
* Headache behind the eyes. CHECK!
* Pains around the jaw. CHECK! (one of my biggest ailments)
* Joint aches. CHECK! (been tasted many times)
* Fever. CHECK! (get it twice a week)
* Paralysis of face muscles. MAYBE. (I feel one eyelid droopier, but no actual paralysis)
* Chronic fatigue. CHECK!
* Double vision. NO.

Is it possible I have Tolosa-Hunt? I am Swedish, and I only know the English name, and thus I don’t know how to ask for it to my doctors. I hope anyone with knowledge of the issue has some ideas.

the spanglemaker asked:


Hi all, just a bit mystified and wondered if anyone out there had any similar experiences and a speculative diagnosis. Sorry for the wordiness but I’d like a considered answer so I’ll give a considered description!!

First, a bit of history which may or may not be related…

I am a 23 year old female, somewhat underweight, blood sugar levels usually fine, and I have a history of anxiety managed normally by anti depressants and occasional anti-anxiety meds. I’m a smoker. In the last couple of years my panic attacks have been strangely based on finding it difficult to breathe, which I then labelled as a psychosomatic symptom of my anxiety. However recently several doctors have diagnosed me with asthma. It is hard for me to dilineate between what is an asthma attack, a panic attack and if I even have asthma at all. I still have some issues when on meds to do with breathing, which makes asthma seem likely. Plus I really should stop smoking, yes.

It has now been about a month since I have taken any of my medication and I’ve already weathered the SSRI withdrawals… anyway, it’s been at least six months since I’ve taken the SSRIs regularly and haven’t taken any other anxiety meds for longer. The other night I was riding in a taxi when I felt my heartrate pick up and my hands start to become sweaty. I had taken some ventolin a while beforehand, which sometimes causes these symptoms. I waited for it to pass and it only increased. I didn’t seem to be having any trouble breathing and it came out of the blue. I started focussing on my breathing and my chest felt relatively clear and just slightly tight. My hands were now completely engulfed in pins and needles and my thumbs on both hands spasmed suddenly against the rest of my fingers. This was pretty scary but I was trying to ride it out, noting I could prise my hands apart with mental will but on their own, without concentration, they immediately went back into spasm. Then my feet started to sweat as well, and became slightly tingly. They reached a brief point where I thought “I will fall over if I have to stand up” but this passed quickly and subsided to a vague tingle. Occasionally my legs started to feel tingly behind the backs of my knees too, and there was a slightly odd muscular sensation like the faintest of spasms. All these other areas of my body stayed pretty OK and just faintly effected but my hands remained locked, sweaty, freezing and tingly. I may have been beginning to hyperventilate by now, getting a bit panicked. I was starting to feel dizzy and I couldn’t focus on the road ahead, and I also couldn’t tell if this had started before or after the hyperventilating. I almost warned the cab driver I was about to faint, because it felt exactly like pre-fainting dizziness. Instead I called my friend with great difficulty (trying to make my hands cooperate) to distract myself but the mental distraction did nothing to lessen the hand issue, or the dizziness. Throughout the conversation I controlled my breathing better but the dizziness kept coming in waves and made me feel very detached and odd.
My hands were getting worse. Now they had no dexterity, they shook (more slowly and obviously than normal tremors) and were still completely tingly. When I had to give money to the cab driver, I literally had to sort of manipulate the money between my thumb and the side of my forefinger against which my thumb was stuck, awkwardly. I couldn’t really handle notes and change and despite my best mental efforts to look normal for the cab driver (this sort of effort usually brings me out of panic attacks), I had no choice but to completely fumble my change with my now near-paralysed hands.
I got out of the cab OK physically aside from the hands, but I was feeling pretty panicky now because I’d never had anything like this. My legs felt a bit weak but carried me. The dizziness was quite intense still but manageable. It took about ten minutes before my hands started to return to normal. I suddenly felt very hungry but then immediately ill when I thought of food, and I returned to normal without any sugar or food of any sort. Slowly the sweats and racing heart subsided. Three days later I was walking when my legs were overcome with weakness in a similarly sudden unprovoked fashion, no tingles but it took some time before they felt normal and for a few minutes it was a serious effort to move them and stay upright.

All very odd. Sorry about the length but googling has returned no good results….just curious and a little worried :-/

Thanks for putting up with that

im_tiburon asked:


i havent mentioned this to my doc, mainly because im kinda embarrassed to do so but i have really bad anxiety, maybe close to panic attacks, but i feel panic attacks would include worse symptoms, but i have very bad social anxiety, and public anxiety, such as being outside, going to the store, basically doing normal things outside the house, i dont know where it came from but i do feel very uncomfortable in the “real world” i have taken a few benzos in the past, including klonopin, ativan and xanax, xanax actually worked the best but was taken off of it, ativan might have worked if it were a higher dosage and .5 of klonopin did no positive change, actually made things worse, so if i mention this to my doc my next appt. will he prescribe me xanax? im supposed to take a blood test the 24th, dont know what will show on it but i try my best mentally to be comfortable outdoors but it doesnt work at all, im also taking effexor for anti depressant/anxiety, please let me know
just want to say that its not possible for me to change doctors either, i dont have medical insurance, i dont know how i came about it, but the hospital assigned me this doctor because i had been in an urgent mental health and it just happened, so i can not see any other doctors, so maybe if i stress this to him he will understand, and let him know that im not seeking xanax to get high but that it seriously, genuinly helps me and hope he understands
