Welcome to Gaia! ::

I know all too well about panic or anxiety attacks. I take medicine for my anxiety. Anxiety tends to wear me down. It takes a lot out of you mentally and physically.

All I can say is that something and/or someone is possibly stressing you out a lot. Try talking to you doctor about all of your symptoms. He/she can help you find a medicine to help calm you. The other thing would be to take up a hobby and/or exercise to take your mind off of what's stressing you.

On a side note, it could be something similar to what is going on with my step-dad. He has tightness in his chest and his heart will just start racing all of a sudden and it won't stop. It's a congenital defect. Apparently, some nodes in his heart short-circuit and send signals for his heart to race. He says it is rather painful. Most of the time his heart has to be rebooted in order to stop his heart from racing. He is now on some new meds which will hopefully keep him from experiencing such attacks. If not, then he will have to have surgery to get the nodes removed. If your health problem sounds more like this, I highly recommend going to see a cardiologist sooner than later.

Hopefully, you are only experiencing anxiety attacks and not having actual heart problems. Best of luck in getting this problem figured out and getting it remedied. I hope I helped you some. emotion_hug

Thanks for the responses. Basically I went to the ER three times in a weeks period and even called the ambulance on myself. gonk
I like, never get sick and if I do I've got to be close to death before I go to the doctor.
The whole thing feels really stupid to me because I don't think I'm anymore stressed out than I normally am, I guess this whole buying a house thing is getting to me, on top of the other normal crap. It's just terrible that your imagination can find a streaming link to your body's physical responses and make them reality.
I keep telling myself nothing is wrong with me when it starts to come on and start the therapeutic breathing. Stopped by the herb shoppe and got some Nutri-Calm, seems to be working so far.

Been making quilts and playing video games to keep my mind occupied, something I haven't done in a few years. I suppose it is my general state of mind on a daily basis that keeps me on edge

Went through it during chemo
Also, shots
