Anyone else have anticipatory anxiety while pregnant?

January 26th, 2011

GreenGirlie asked:


I have anticipatory anxiety pretty bad, especially in situations such as going to the doctors. I recently discovered I’m pregnant and of course now I have to go to the doctors a lot (which I’m already nervous about). I get so nervous it skyrockets my blood pressure and heart rate. I know it’s not good for the baby and I have a therapist, but he really doesn’t seem to help much. What can I do to stop this? Has anyone else been through this and overcame it?

Do I have a heart problem?

June 23rd, 2010

Tox asked:


I have been sore throughout my body on-and-off the past few days. My legs hurt sometimes (my thighs), my back sometimes, my neck and jaw sometimes, my stomach sometimes and my arms sometimes.

I don’t have any other symptoms. Somtimes I feel nauseated but not too often. I take levothyroixine for my hypothyroidism.

I went to the ER the other night and they took an EKG and chest x-ray and they apparently came back normal. They said that my heart rate for my EKG was high but that it was normal since I went in with the symptoms of an anxiety attack. Also, when I first went in, my blood pressure was high but has since gone back down to normal. The doc even listened to my heart and said that everything was fine.

Has anybody else had symptoms like this? What should I do? My father had cardiomyopathy and it freaks me out that I am getting it. Any advice helps!
I am a 24-year-old male. The doc said that I was too young to have a heart attack.

encanto21isla asked:


I been having an anxiety problem for about 7 months now. I think it is a fear of people now and I do not know why. I also can not stand my job and I avoid things that I use to do in the past like, clubbinh, interacting with other people etc. It not the type of anxiety that my blood pressure goes up or down, nor my heart races, or i sweat. it’s a mental state of anxiety, like if i have a mental illness that is real disturbance and it is taking control of my life. Will hypnosis work?
Little bit of history of myself was diagnosed with early lyme disease cured. and army iraq veteran for almost 5 years now.

anxiety attack/panic attack help? ?

February 19th, 2010

melon_raindrops asked:


Alright, so basically I have anxiety.
And I had my first panic attack a month and a half ago.
Like this dizzy feeling, lightheadedness, palpitation.
I am 12, weighing currently 65 kilos(around 130 pounds) and 5 feet tall.
Can you cure anxiety without medication? If so, what are the natural remedies? There are famous sites that cure anxiety, and alot of people reviewed on it and said it works, though I don’t want to pay for it. Does anyone know those natural remedies, besides going to the doctor, therapy, etc.
btw, I went to the doctor the first day, when I had my first panic attack, the first man said he wasn’t sure if I had anything wrong with me, my blood pressure was perfect for my age. We went to another doctor just to get another opinion, she said I’m absolutely fine, I’m just a little too stressed for my age.
So, that hopefully, must lead to anxiety.
Since I have the symptoms.
numbness/tingling/slight coldness at times in toes/fingers.
dizziness sometimes, and shortness of breath, chest pain.
I need your help please
(:
Also, the day I had my panic attack I weighed 68 kilos, now 65.

and I’ve heard about easycalm.com, the linden method, and a few more.
Has someone joined one of them, if so what did you do, and could to give me the advice that they gave you?
please, I am in need!!
