im 28 with no history of mental health issues apart from every day stress and anxieties which have never caused me an issue
since march i have ended up in a+e 3 times with what i can describe at the time is im having a heart attack - pins and needles throughout my body, thinking im going to die , blurred vision, difficulty breathing . ive been given propanolol whilst there due to heart rate and blood pressure.
these big episodes usually last 2-4 hours but then left with very bad anxiety for the next few days . the first two times i got to a really good place - socalising and exercising but this time i cant seem to get back
ecg and bloods all come back fine however since these episodes my health anxiety has got terrible, anything im feeling im making myself belive i have an illess and im just not going to wake up.
ive been refered to endocronology? but in the mean time ive started sertraline.
my most recent episode was sunday and i have not managed to sleep since i woke up sunday as im feeling very wired, my body is exhaused but mind seems to be on overdrive .
im trying to be proactive as possible i have cbt session booked for this week so interested to see how that work, cut out caffine , alcohol and vapes.
sorry for the long post - it would be nice to hear about other peoples experience with panics,anxiety and sertraline | /forums/profiles/joshua39169-1464514 |

Last July i woke up in the middle of the night not feeling quite right, bit dizzy etc. I then proceeded to freak out and have a panic attack. Over the next 6 or so months i was constantly worried i was ill, to the point where i now have GAD regarding health.
I've since had a whole load of tests done which are all clear, this plus the scattergun nature and fluctuation of my symptoms, confirms to me anxiety.
I feel like i am turning a corner and getting better (started sertraline 3 weeks ago) but i am still having issues when exercising. An example of this would be a simple short, easy cycle/run bringing the onset of physical symptoms such as dizziness, tight chest, blurry eyesight etc. Before all this started i was quite fit and have ran marathons in the past so i have a decent idea how exercise feels and how my body should react to it.
The only thing that makes sense to me here is that the stress caused by exercise tips my already quite high level of stress just over the edge and into a place where physical symptoms occur. Does this make sense and importantly, has anyone else been through this? It's frustrating to have been so active and now face this, especially when 95% of anxiety and exercise material is about the postive side effects.
I also experience the onset of symptoms if i have caffeine, or sometimes during other controlled stress actions like, cold bath/shower | /forums/profiles/nofruit2245-1464438 |

For three years now I suffer from some kind of health anxiety. But my health anxiety differentiates from the "normal HA sufferer". I'm not afraid of catching a deadly illness like cancer etc. I'm more afraid of getting a mental disorder or a chronic condition like CFS/ME Fibromyalgia which literally ruins my life and I have to suffer. So my core fear is not the fear of death but more the fear of losing control. Beside that, I dont have any anxiety. No GAD, no social Anxiety, have a rock solid life (very good job, good earnings, healthy family etc).
Unfortunately, Im not able to enjoy my freetime anymore due to the constant worry what could be wrong. If im tired and fatigue (which is a result of the worrying), I think I have CFS. Then I do workouts just to prove that I dont get PEM, so I dont have CFS. I also get aches and pains in my joints and muscle tension in my neck from time to time that drive me crazy that I have fibromyalgia. Then I read on forums that people with Anxiety disorder are more prone to fibro as they are in a constant fight/flight/freeze response that makes their central nervous system go wack. And of course, there is no medical test to rule such conditions out. And even when I'm not in pain, I think "If I don't get calmer, this will be my destiny". Which drives me even more crazy. I got no prescribed with escitalopram which I'm afraid to take because of potential long lasting side effects like tinnitus etc. I'm literally trapped.

"/forums/profiles/jan34534-998356"... | Sertraline. HELP! roller coaster ups and downs. | 2023-03-24T06:54+00:00 | hello everyone,
I'm a new member to the forum, but I have found the messages posted very reassuring to me whilst I'm dealing with this horrible disease.
Really sorry for the long life story post.
I was diagnosed with suffering from GAD in 2008 and was put on Citalopram, but it didn't agree with me, so I started on Fluoxitine that helped or several years, however, I started suffering from really bad indigestion and reflux, so I was switched to Sertraline and I honestly cannot remember having any side effects worth noting whilst I was adjusting to them. fast forward a few years during a Covid lockdown, I was feeling great and ready to slowly come off the Sertraline, this went really well with absolutely zero side effects!
Fast forward a bit more and a few things in my life became very difficult to deal with and I slipped back into feeling low and depressed.
This time around I was suffering with constantly feeling nauseous and on edge. I tried many of the over the counter herbal remedies to help keep it at bay, but I got much worse over Christmas 2022 and suffered the worst anxiety attack I've ever had! Needless to say, I contacted the GP and explained the whole scenario. I still had remaining Sertraline so it was agreed to start them again.
Wow! it certainly caught me by surprise... on the first day of taking 50mg I had an ambulance called out to me by 12am that evening, the side effect were, extremely high anxiety, tingling/burning skin, nausea. no appetite, waking up only minutes after dropping off to sleep with racing thoughts and a massive feeling of panic etc... I was given Diazapam to help take the edge off, but they didn't seem to work.
the dosage of Sertraline was reduced to 25mg and I put up with the horrible side effects for about 7 days and then upped to 50mg.
I was off work during this time as there was no way I could function at work during these symptoms. The side effects started to ease of after about 3 week and I start to have the odd day here and there where I felt OK (about 75%), I then started to get a few days in a row that were OK and a few that were rubbish! These happier day bouts have happened twice.
I have now been on Sertraline for 8 weeks and a few days ago I started feeling a bit low again and I thought nothing of it, I'm back at work now, and 2 days ago the side effects began to come back, the sleep issue I was having hasn't ever really gone completely, but I have been able to manage it a bit with 5mg of Amitryptaline each evening. Last night I was back to square one! Irritable, really anxious, waking up after only several minute of sleep with a racing heart rate of 100bpm+ etc...
This doesn't seem normal to me and I feel so hopeless and scared. Has anyone else gone through this roller coaster ride of highs and lows, and can you share if these get better with time?
I totally appreciate any replies I get about this.
I hope that I'm able to feel reassured that it will pass. Thank you so much and so sorry for the extremely long post. | /forums/profiles/tek737373-1459756 |

But I have been experiencing the worst three months of my life. It started with some health anxiety around some midback pain I was having. I freaked out I had a tumour. My doctor thought this was ridiculous but sent me for an X-ray. As I left the X-ray scan, I remembered that a year before I had had an X-ray with contrast (due to thinking I had heart inflammation or a clot from the vaccine which I did not). I had an allergic reaction to the contrast (just a whole body rash and a very hot, swollen face). I immediately freaked out that having another X-ray would do damage to my body. The next day I woke up with shooting pains, muscle aches and twitches. Over the past three months these symptoms have been getting worse and I?ve also been getting lots of tingling. I?m talking constant muscle twitches everywhere, especially calves and feet, constant tingling and vibrating sensations in feet. It has moved into my hands and arms as well. I feel it constantly even when working out. I have had neurological exams, two brain mris, cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine mri, which only showed a minor disc bulge in lumbar spine. Now I feel like my hands are constantly shaking and I feel like my whole body is constantly vibrating and shaking too. I?ve been to the ER three times, seen countless doctors and have a referal for a neurologist in two weeks. I?m going insane with worry. It?s all I think about and I have been able to enjoy anything. Not Christmas, turning 30, nothing. I have a history of health anxiety but I?ve never in my life had such strong, constant and long lasting symptoms. I really want an emg as I?m worried I could have periferal neuropathy from the X-ray. Is it possible that this is just a really intense case of anxiety or is there really a neurological problem? No doctor seems to think so but this symptoms are full on.
Please offer some advice or share your own experiences.
Thank you. | /forums/profiles/nf07249-1451416 |

"/forums/profiles/brody54586-14... | Anxiety and symptoms | 2023-05-14T20:10+00:00 | Hi there!
I’m chronically worried about discomfort in my right side ... in 2017 I clearly remember how I started to “press” in my right hypochondrium, I ran around all kinds of ultrasounds, doctors, and so on ... they didn’t find anything, they just said to improve nutrition.
Already at that time I was worried about anxiety, hypochondria, panic attacks and all possible events ... there were fears of a stroke, a heart attack and a full range of symptoms.
In December 2019, I was scheduled to move to another country, and literally 2 weeks before the plane, I started getting backaches/discomfort in the area of appendicitis. I went to the ambulance, they examined me and found nothing. This added obsessive thoughts and fears. The move took place, everything went smoothly, I don’t remember what would bother me in “that place” in the first month or two.
Then, in the summer of 2020, I found out that my friend had an intestinal rupture and was operated on ... I noticed that on the same day I again began to feel discomfort and aching pain in the appendicitis area. I went to the hospital, they examined again, they did not find anything. They prescribed "duspatalin" and said that neuralgia or something like that is generally possible.
Moving on... in October 2021, I again had a keen desire to find out what was bothering me in that place... I began to undergo an insurance examination. I passed tests, went through a lot of doctors - a surgeon, a urologist, a gastroenterologist, a neurologist. Didn't find much of anything. Only the neurologist indicated that this was referred pain from the T12 vertebra. I also went to see my friend, who works as a surgeon, he palpated me, looked at the ultrasound - again - zero information.
Now, since July 2022, my entire right side has been bothering me on a regular basis. The symptoms have expanded. There was stiffness in the lower back, it hurts when tilting to the left (when the muscles on the right side of the body are stretched), discomfort in the area of appendicitis, waist, lower back on the right side. It gets a little easier when I crunch my lower back or stretch.
Against the background of all this, there is a strong anxiety and an aggravation of everything that is possible.
Handed over recently the analysis of a blood, US of an abdominal cavity. Everything is in order, only slightly elevated monocytes.
In the summer there was not a strong herpes zoster on the right side of the back, he was treated with Valaciclovir.
What worries me in the right side - I do not know. This worries me a lot and I'm a little confused. Please support morally and tell me what to do | /forums/profiles/stan47220-1463812 |

"Exact same symptoms. exact same outcome. Never anything! one day a tumour next week it'll be a nerve illness, week after it'll be... | Health Anxiety | 2023-03-17T21:05+00:00 | Hi,
ive been battling health anxiety for over 2 years now it was bad after i had my second child, it seemed to calm down a bit but now after my 3rd child I think it has come back.
im saying I think because this symptoms are a bit different before and I always think there's something sinister going on, i try to tell my self i have had FBC just november past sure if there was something wrong they would have seen in the blood test.
so has anybody experienced sudden tingling from head to toe along with dizziness (I've had that once) that want away within a couple of minutes followed by a sweat and then random cold patches on ur body.
I have had a few panic attacks after this head to toe numbness incident.
The random cold patches I still get, also headache usually one sided left or right, dizzy spells, constant pain inbetween shoulders and neck sometimes like a burning sensation, pain down middle of chest don't know if it's my sternum or a nerve its hard to place exact spot. pain in arms and legs but at different times. random numb or tingly patches on arms.
I think I have diagnosed my self of nearly every cancer there is, as I alway google stuff and it comes up, I have just googled the spine pain between my shoulders and now its went to myeloma I now feel sick at the thought and thinking I have it as the symptoms they say I have a good few.
if anyone has had any of this symptoms i would greatly appreciate a reply known im not alone in this. | /forums/profiles/emma47045-1459204 |

... | MND/ ALS intense fear | 2023-05-10T11:31+00:00 | Hi all
I have been a sufferer of health anxiety on and off for around 6 years. I've convinced myself I've had many different diseases but for the past couple of years, my health anxiety was almost non-existent.
However, fast forward to now and for the past week or so I am absolutely convinced I've got MND. My right foot is almost constantly twitching, sometimes twitching in my right calf and I'm experiencing minor cramping sensations in my right foot. I also feel like my right leg is tighter and a bit weaker than my left. I've had a fear of MND before, but I'm convinced this time I've got it.
Can anyone relate to these symptoms? I'm going out of my mind! | /forums/profiles/dan20338-1463494 |

"/forums/profiles/jan34534-99835... | Some Slight Concerns. Anyone had the same? | 2023-05-08T11:47+00:00 | Hello Everyone.
2 weeks ago I was quite Ill with tonsillitis.
Accompanied with chronic health anxiety which I have had for around 4 months now, since a tragic event in my life, which re triggered it for the first time in 4 years.
During the Illness I started to get a horrible spasm in my eyelid, which is triggered by either touching it or squinting. I called the Dr's for a second opinion and they said I have no warning signs or any of the "Red Flags".
I decided to leave it 2 weeks and see if it cleared up as the Dr's said it probably would. I'm now on day 15 and it's getting worse. I put it down to stress and now I'm thinking it's not that. I've also got a horrible spasm feeling in my left temple as well which feels like I have a wood pecker hammering at the area, this only lasts a few seconds and sometimes disappears for the rest of the day.
Ive still got really bad anxiety and I'm trying to keep it under wraps but I'm struggling with this. I've read a few things online which worry me but I'm trying to ignore it. I've started getting fuzzy vision and also feel like my memory is a bit worse off but this may be psysco-schematic because of my anxiety...
I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced this, did it clear up? how long did it last? how did you get rid of it?
Thank you ❤️ | /forums/profiles/brody54586-1462639 |

I'm not sure how exactly, maybe by giving me tips to get over this irrational fear. </p><p></p><p>My health anxiety has been rather bad lately, mainly focusing around the idea that my heart is failing, I'm going to have a heart attack, or I have a pulmonary embolism. Because of this, I begin panicking any time my pulse speeds up and I take my pulse/feel my heartbeat continuously throughout the day. </p><p></p><p>This has gradually gotten worse, and I'm now scared to do anything that will raise my pulse. I feel winded and breathless after climbing a flight of stairs, and have to rest for a while because my heart will be racing (part because of the movement itself, part because of panic). I now try my best to avoid all unnecessary exercise because of the fear I'll have a heart attack or such. </p><p></p><p>Anyways, I'm overweight and have been rather unhappy for a while. I've finally plucked up the courage to take out a gym membership and will be going for the first time tomorrow. Here's the problem - because of what I've mentioned above, I'm terrified of actually stepping onto any of the machines. I'm terrified in case I become extremely breathless, in case I have a heart attack, or even in case I make a fool of myself by working myself up and inducing a panic attack. </p><p></p><p>How can I get over this? I know I NEED to do this, but I can't get my head round actually doing it. </p><p></p><p>Oh, and to top it off I have asthma (although I've never actually had an asthma attack) and I'm scared in case I have one while working out. I'm stuck in a vicious cycle! I'm depressed because of my appearance so I want to work out, but I'm scared to work out in case something bad happens, so I become even more unfit and even more depressed. </p><p></p><p>Sorry for the long rant, I just really need some help right now. :'(</p><p></p><p></p> | /forums/profiles/clr1166-910679 |

... | Chronic Hyperventilation syndrome | 2017-02-06T16:07+00:00 | <p>Hi, I'm a 29 year old male and for about 8 or 9 years now I've had what the doctors have told me is "anxiety" but myself doesn't feel anxious and have come across chronic hyperventilation syndrome. I feel as if this is what I have. Over the years I've had 3 ecg test a asthma test and a oxygen level test and all come back normal also had ambulances to the the house as felt was having heart attack an would die. My day consists of waking up and everysinle breathe I take I think about I just cannot forget about it. I constantly feel short of breath get chest pains. But most off all I yawn hundreds if not thousands of times a day just to get a breath and one yawn to get breathe can last 15 p 20 seconds then feel dizzy as stopped all oxygen getting to my brain. Best why I describe it to my family is my breathing is like a car that is running out of petrol and needs more to carry on. My breath feels like my body is empty so I need more and I have to yawn to get this breath. I fear it's life threatening and it's so scary. I used to play football 4 times a week now I don't do nothing no excersises at all as I will run n think damn what about my breathing then would start to yawn n the cycle continues. It's not just certain times its every second of every day I have to yawn to get a satisfying breath and I just want to live normal. Can anyone help or tell me what they think could be or anything. Sorry it's such a long message just so fed up of feeling this way all day every day and my only rest bite is when I'm asleep. Hope to hear some replies. </p> | /forums/profiles/matt93825-1019156 |

- slow heart rate after laughing so hard
- yawning excessively
these symptoms doesnt show when Im working out but when I dont do something or stuck in home in several days I feel these heaviness in my body, dizziness when standing.
- I also get unsteadiness when bending down or just looking down, I cant go outside no more brcause of this cause I feel like falling off or lose my balance (im thinking this is bppv cause of health anxiety)
- digestive problems (constantly diarrhea and checking color of stool yellow)
- I dont know if the symptoms are real or just caused by my anxious mind,
- can I be anxious even when I think Im not
- Im suffering from GAD for 6 years.
- For 2 years Im okay
- and now Im so back with severe setbacks and new symptoms although other symptoms maybe gone but new one appears
- Does everyone feel the heart slow or fast and doctor say fine? Cause i havent been in a cardiologist and because of that im scared thinking I sort of having a heart issues if you would say you experienced that and doctor said its okay, is it possible for me that this is just caused by anxiety and not other way around?
- cause ive searched and it said vasovagal syncope which can lead to serious heart problems and Im so scared. Godbless to answers! | /forums/profiles/danielle93445-1075294 |
