Praying For a Baby BOY! asked: Ok so I am 23 years old. I am a wife and a mommy. Well for years I have suffered with anxiety but is has seemed like it has gotten worse this year like since Jan. 09.
I wake up at night with it and I have it sometimes in the morning when I wake up and I will think that something is wrong with me. After I work out I even have one sometimes and I will be thinking “Did I workout too hard” or “Am I having a heart attack”. It is always like I am in extreme fear when I have having an attack.
I am not even sure what to do. It has interfered in my normal life one too many times. I will be scared to get out and walk somewhere sometimes like a store or mall because I will have a fear that I am going to pass out.
I wake up sometime and i feel really dizzy and I will seriously think something is wrong with me. My husband called 911 one day and they said that my heart rate was 170. I am so worried and i am not sure how to deal with this.
I don’t want to be put on medication and be “drugged up” all the time. It seems like when I am having one that my biggest worry and fear is that I am dying and that something is really wrong with me.
I am so miserable. I never want to live like this anymore. It is hurting me so bad. I am tired of being scared and heart pounding and fear over nothing. And then when it is all over I feel fine and I am like “When I have another one I will takle it” & then when the other one comes it is like a new symptom and I get more worried than I was with the last one.
I went to the ER a few time and they have done thousands of $ in test like medical test like on my kidneys,liver,heart and blood test and medically they said that everything is fine. I even had blurred vision one day and I was certain that was a heart attack.
Please if someone has been through this tell me how you dealt with this. I need to know how to cure this before I really lose my mind:)
Thanks so much for reading my story=)

Tigerkitten asked: Ten years ago, when my anxiety disorder became severe, my first symptom was this intense surge of energy or almost like lightening would hit my head and make me feel like I was having a seizure. It only lasted for maybe 2 seconds, but it made me go on medication (which I want to get off of) and it would help if I could find someone else with this experience.
I know it’s a side effect of going off anti-depressants, but that isn’t relevent to my problem.

BD asked: my doc says i have an anxiety problem. he didn’t say an anxiety disorder, although the problem was multiple month lasting and ive been on medication for it for a few months. Anyways, I was just wondering if you knew anyone with an anxiety disorder and how common it is.

I have never had any panic attacks until a few days ago. I drank heavily for 3 days straight and have had two panic attacks since. I have never taken any medication at all for anxiety, depression, etc. Also, are there any ways to never have them again?
