I don’t know if these are symtoms of anxiety attacks because I don’t feel like I am going to die but I could be sitting watching TV and I will start crying for absolutley no reason! my heart feels like it is fluttering and I feel like I have a lump the size of a baseball in my throat. I feel like I have to take deep breaths constantly. The main problem is it’s throwing my sleep schedule off i wake up at 2 a.m everynight even if i take a tylenol PM. Is this just something that will pass? I feel that If I explain all of this to a doctor he will just look at me like I was crazy!

i had bullimia about three years back, last year it got really bad too, i dont have it now though…
anyway
ive developed a problem that is undiagnosable, all the heart monitors and brain scans in the world couldnt help. i think i may have an iddea..
this is what happens to me
DO ANY OF YOU HAVE THE SAME!!?
i get really dizzy and everything goes black, then ill fall on my face(nearly broke my nose once, and nearly died in the shower) or fall back onto the bed or chair (ehwerever i am) and my eyes will roll back and i will not be able to hear anything really… then i start to shake sort of like a seizure… HOWEVER…
after dealing with this for like two years, whewre it got to the point of it occuring up to 15 times a day, then i decided to video myself.
i thought i was shaking uncontrollably, like a serizure, but in the video i was laying still and starring into space, and like holding my head and saying”aww”
i dont understand it, but i know bullimia can cause heart problems, brain problems and seiuzures. the only thing i know for sure is that they arent seizures.
its like a blackout. but i dont fall unconcious.
they can last for up to 5 seconds to 30 seconds, i just lay there and its like my brain shuts down. i sometimes dont remmeber what i did before it, or what happened during it, like one time i got up and walked over across the room ,and couldnt figure out how. once i fell on my exercise bike, bruising and swelling my neck and i couldnt remmeber how i fell on it like that…
PLEASE the doctors cant help me, sometimes when i strewtch this happends too. what is wrong and do any of you suffer this?
it makes me feel so relaxed and calmed once its over, i googled it once and someone compared it to being ‘possesed by the deil’ which is crazy lol
anway thanks for listaning, i realy am scardd im going to have a heart attack because my heart puplitates so fast during and after the blackout, and sometimes my brain thuds in pain.
THANKS!!

Last year, maybe the fall, started feeling like the left side of my chest had some pressure. Seems as though it kept growing, its like a brick is sitting in my chest. When i breathe, it feels like most of it is from the right side, and the left side only gets about half the air its suppose to get. As a result of this, i went into the hospital in january of this year, because i felt i could not breathe at all really, and started gettings these flutters in my chest i thought i was having a heart attack. Turns out my heart is fine, and the breathing problem was reduced when they gave me a liquid steroid through I.V., while there for 4 days. They put me on prednisone, and after finishing the bottle, that helped but didnt take the problem away. Again , and still to this day 8 months later, when i breathe, feels like most are from the right side, although im used to it and it doesnt bother me, its sstill not right. The cat scan came back that my lungs were clear, even though they said a slide malfunctioned. Few months back, i went to a family doctor, who really didnt do anything. He gave me a steroid inhailer, and that didnt work, then i went to a pulminary disease doctor, who couldnt figure it out, and she gave me more predinose, she suggested i see a rootologist i think it is, and i havent gone yet.
Another problem i have been having is that i took something i was allergic to back in march, and i broke out in hives, when the hives went away, and the itching stopped, i developed these dark circle patches on my skin. Today, they are still there, one on my forehead, my ears have dark patches on them, 4 on the back of my neck, one on my back, and about 15 in total on both arms. I have been on a steroid cream for about 2 months but nthing has changed. So since march i have had these circle patches everywhere and nothing has changed.
Another problem is now, it has been hard for me to breathe because my esophogus has allot of tissue build up, and the hole where the food goes down is not its normal size, its getting smaller because of whatever. My tongue is very large, and the tip of my tongue sitx on the top inside of my mouth. Is that normal? I dont know if its called the tonsil, but that thing that hangs down in the middle ih teh back is very long, and it sits on my tongue. Seems like im swollen back there, and also i have alot of saliva build up. I am going to an ent monday morning.
Also, the left side of my jaw feels back by my ear, where the top and bottom meets, seems to be swollen it doesnt feel normal .
Also, before all of this happened, i was having alot of cold sweats. Like daily i would wake up and my pillow is soaked.
My vision is pretty ok, its not clear, i can see close, but far things on the tv like the words are hard to see. I have to squinch, but i make it. I had glasses which worked fine but i lost them gotta get more.
Other than that, i feel fine, like im neve sick, im never tired, actually seems like this: when i eat mcdonalds, the next day im tired, and i eat out alot, but when i eat good frutis and vegatables, i feel so great the next day i feel like a million bucks, at least outside these other problems.
Now, from what i have been reading, the symptons are everything i said. Your jaw hurts, you develop rashes, your chest is short of breathe, and others.
Do you think i have sarcoidosis?
Oh yea, i also had my wisdom tooth pulled, and 4 root canals over the last 2 months. I have been on prednisone for that also, but im out now.
ITs been hard for me to breathe because my saliva seems to keep me choaking at night, and the anxiety from all this drives me crazy.

im 15 and yea those are my symptoms.what should i do??? i know go to the doctor, but i don’t want to have to take all kinds of medicane is there any Natural meds i can take?

I am a teenager, and am having chest pain in the middle of my chest (right above where that round indent is…) it’s pretty isolated…it hurts more when a burp, cough, jump…it was hurting all the time there in the afternoon, but now it’s pretty mild…I think I had this last year…lasted two days ten completely gone. Could it be costochondritis? The only symptom I don’t have is it does not hurt when I touch it.
I get freaked out with any sort of medical thing..like I’ll burn myself with a iron and be paranoid the heat made by vein coagulate….I’m kind of worried it might be a heart attack, but I’m kind of ruling it out since I’m do young and the pain is isolated.
ANY HELP WITH WHAT IT IS? I hate going to ER, or doctor just to have them tell me “stop overreacting it’s nothing…just let it go away”…but last time I had a pain problem I never saw a doctor thinking it would be nothing..again…then I go there and find out my appendix is about to explode (litteraly).

If you suffer from…

* Palpitations

* a pounding heart, or an accelerated heart rate

* Sweating

* Trembling or shaking

* Shortness of breath

* A choking sensation

* Chest pain or discomfort

* Nausea or stomach cramps

* Derealization (a feeling of unreality)

* Fear of losing control or going crazy

* Fear of dying Numbness or a tingling sensation

* Chills or hot flashes

…then you’ve experienced firsthand some of the possible symptoms of a panic or anxiety attack. If you are reading this page because a loved one suffers from these symptoms and you are trying to understand or help, it’s hard to appreciate what they go through.

Just try to imagine what it feels like to experience one, if you can.

Here is a typical example:

Standing in a supermarket queue, it?s been a long wait but only one customer to go before you make it to the cashier. Wait, what was that sensation? An unpleasant feeling forms in your throat, your chest feels tighter, now a sudden shortness of breath, and what do you know?your heart skips a beat. ?Please, God, not here.?

A quick scan of the territory?is it threatening? Four unfriendly faces queue behind, one person in front. Pins and needles seem to prick you through your left arm, you feel slightly dizzy, and then the explosion of fear as you dread the worst. You are about to have a panic attack.

There is no doubt in your mind now that this is going to be a big one. Okay, focus: Remember what you have been taught, and it is time now to apply the coping techniques. Begin the deep breathing exercise your doctor recommended. In through the nose, out through the mouth.

Think relaxing thoughts, and again, while breathing in, think ?Relax,? and then breathe out. But it doesn?t seem to be having any positive effect; in fact, just concentrating on breathing is making you feel self-conscious and more uptight.

Okay, coping technique 2:

Gradual muscle relaxation. Tense both shoulders, hold for 10 seconds, then release. Try it again. No; still no difference. The anxiety is getting worse and the very fact that you are out of coping techniques worsens your panic. If only you were surrounded by your family, or a close friend were beside you so you could feel more confident in dealing with this situation.

Now, the adrenaline is really pumping through your system, your body is tingling with uncomfortable sensations, and now the dreaded feeling of losing complete control engulfs your emotions. No one around you has any idea of the sheer terror you are experiencing. For them, it?s just a regular day and another frustratingly slow queue in the supermarket.

You are out of options. Time for Plan C.

The most basic coping skill of all is ?fleeing.? Excuse yourself from the queue; you are slightly embarrassed as it is now that it is your turn to pay. The cashier is looking bewildered as you leave your shopping behind and stroll towards the door. There is no time for excuses?you need to be alone. You leave the supermarket and get into your car to ride it out alone. Could this be the big one? The one you fear will push you over the edge mentally and physically. Ten minutes later the panic subsides.

It?s 10:30 a.m. How are you going to make it through the rest of the day?

If you suffer from panic or anxiety attacks, the above scenerio probably sounds very familiar. It may have even induced feelings of anxiety and panic just reading it. The particular situations that trigger your panic and anxiety may differ; maybe the bodily sensations are a little different. Or maybe it happened to you for the first time on a plane, in the dentist chair, or even at home, while doing nothing in particular.

If you have ever had what has become known as a ?panic attack,? take comfort in the fact that you are by no means alone.

A panic attack always comes with the acute sense of impending doom. You feel you are either about to lose your mind or one of your vital bodily functions is about to cease functioning and you will end your days right there among the canned goods and frozen food.

You are by no means alone; you?re not even one in a million. In America, it is estimated that almost 5% of the population suffer from some form of anxiety disorder. For some, it may be the infrequent panic attacks that only crop up in particular situations-like when having to speak in front of others, while, for other people, it can be so frequent and recurring that it inhibits them from leaving their home. Frequent panic attacks often develop into what medical physicians refer to as an ?anxiety disorder.?

One of the first steps to regaining control of your life is getting helpful information. This site will give you that, and more.

The beginning of your recovery starts here. What you will learn is that there is a very good chance you are about to end the cycle of panic attacks in your life. You will learn not only to regain the carefree life you remember once having, but will also gain new confidence in living. Your answer to living free from ?panic? or ?anxiety attacks? is at hand.

This site demonstrates that the panic and anxiety that you have experienced will be the very key to your courage and success.

Begin the road to recovery by browsing through the site. While many of you may have read almost everything you can possibly read relating to panic and anxiety I assure you this site offers something very effective.

Did you know…?

The key difference between someone who is cured of panic attacks and those who are not is really very simple. The people who are cured no longer fear panic attacks. I?ll try to show you how to be one of these people as well.

What if I told you the trick to ending panic and anxiety attacks is to want to have one. That sounds strange, even contradictory, but let me explain.

The trick to panic attacks is wanting to have one-the wanting pushes it away. Can you have a panic attack in this very second? No!

You know the saying that “what you resist, persists.” Well that saying applies perfectly to fear. If you resist a situation out of fear, the fear around that issue will persist. How do you stop resisting?you move directly into it, into the path of the anxiety, and by doing so it cannot persist.

In essence what this means is that if you daily voluntarily seek to have a panic attack, you cannot have one. Try in this very moment to have a panic attack and I will guarantee you cannot. You may not realize it but you have always decided to panic. You make the choice by saying this is beyond my control.

Another way to appreciate this is to imagine having a panic attack as like standing on a cliff’s edge. The anxiety seemingly pushes you closer to falling over the edge.

To be rid of the fear you must metaphorically jump. You must jump off the cliff edge and into the anxiety and fear and all the things that you fear most.

How do you jump? You jump by wanting to have a panic attack. You go about your day asking for anxiety and panic attacks to appear.

Your real safety is the fact that a panic attack will never harm you. That is medical fact. You are safe, the sensations are wild but no harm will come to you. Your heart is racing but no harm will come to you. The jump becomes nothing more than a two foot drop! Perfectly safe.

Something we should ALL want to know!
PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH!
She said she didn’t feel well and had a back-ache and was going to lay
down on the bed with the heating pad. Awhile later her husband went to
check on her and she was not breathing. They were not able to revive her.
I was aware that female heart attacks are different, but this is the
best description I’ve ever read…Women and heart attacks (Myocardial
infarction)
Did you know that women rarely have the same dramatic symptoms that
men have when experiencing heart attack…you know, the sudden stabbing
pain in the chest, the cold sweat, grabbing the chest & dropping to the floor
that we see in the movies. Here is the story of one woman’s experience with
a heart attack.
I had a completely unexpected heart attack at about 10:30 PM with NO
prior exertion, NO prior emotional trauma that one would suspect might’ve
brought it on. I was sitting all snugly &warm on a cold evening, with my
purring cat in my lap, reading an interesting story my friend had sent me,
and actually thinking, “A-A-h, this is the life, all cozy and warm in my soft,
cushy Lazy Boy with my feet propped up.” A moment later, I felt that awful
sensation of indigestion, when you’ve been in a hurry and grabbed a bite of
sandwich and washed it down with a dash of water, and that hurried bite
seems to feel like you’ve swallowed a golf ball going down the esophagus in
slow motion and it is most uncomfortable. You realize you shouldn’t have
gulped it down so fast and needed to chew it more thoroughly and this time
drink a glass of water to hasten its progress down to the stomach.
This was my initial sensation—the only trouble was that I hadn’t taken a bite
of anything since about 5:00 p.m. “After that had seemed to subside, the next
sensation was like little squeezing motions that seemed to be racing up my
SPINE (hind-sight, it was probably my aorta spasming), gaining speed as they
continued racing up and under my sternum (breast bone, where one presses
rhythmically when administering CPR). This fascinating process continued on
into my throat and branched out into both jaws. “AHA!! NOW I stopped
puzzling about what was happening–we all have read and/or heard about
pain in the jaws being one of the signals of an MI happening, haven’t we?
I said aloud to myself and the cat, “Dear God, I think I’m having a heart
attack!” I lowered the footrest, dumping the cat fr om my lap, started to take
a step and fell on the floor instead. I thought to myself “If this is a heart
attack, I shouldn’t be walking into the next room where the phone is or
anywhere else……,but, on the other hand, if I don’t, nobody will know that
I need help, and if I wait any longer I may not be able to get up in moment”
I pulled myself up with the arms of the chair, walked slowly into the next
room, and dialed the Paramedics… I told her I thought I was having a heart
attack due to the pressure building under the sternum and radiating into my
jaws. I didn’t feel hysterical or afraid, just stating the facts. She said she was
sending the Paramedics over immediately, asked if the front door was near
me, and if so, to unbolt the door and then lie down on the floor where they
could see me when they came in. “I then laid down on the floor as instructed
and lost consciousness, as I don’t remember the medics coming in, their
examination, lifting me onto a gurney or getting me into their ambulance, or
hearing the call they made to St. Jude ER on the way, but I did briefly awaken
when we arrived and saw that the Cardiologist was already there in his
surgical blues and cap, helping the medics pull my stretcher out of the
ambulance. He was bending over me asking questions (probably something
like “Have you taken any medications?”) but I couldn’t make my mind interpret
what he was saying, or form an answer, and nodded off again, not waking up
until the Cardiologist and partner had already threaded the teeny angiogram
balloon up my femoral artery into the aorta and into my heart where they
installed 2 side by side stints to hold open my right coronary artery.
“I know it sounds like all my thinking and actions at home must have taken
at least 20-30 minutes before calling the Paramedics, but actually it took
perhaps 4-5 minutes before the call, and both the fire station and St. Jude
are only minutes away from my home, and my Cardiologist was already to go
to the OR in his scrubs and get going on restarting my heart (which had
stopped somewhere between my arrival and the procedure) and installing the
stints.
“Why have I written all of this to you with so much detail? I want all of you
who are so important in my life to know what I learned first hand.”
1.. Be aware that something very different is happening in your body not the
usual men’s symptoms, but inexplicable things happening (until my
sternum and jaws got into the act). It is said that many more women than
men die of their first (and last) MI because they didn’t know they were
having one, and commonly mistake it as indigestion, take some Maalox or
other anti-heartburn preparation, and go to bed, hoping they’ll feel better
in the morning when they wake up….which doesn’t happen. My female
friends, your symptoms might not be exactly like mine, so I advise you to
call the Paramedics if ANYTHING is unpleasantly happening that you’ve
not felt before. It is better to have a “false alarm” visitation than to risk
your life guessing what it might be!*
2.. Note that I said “Call the Paramedics”. Ladies, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!
Do NOT try to drive yourself to the ER–you’re a hazard to others on the
road, and so is your panicked husband who will be speeding and looking
anxiously at what’s happening with you instead of the road. Do NOT call
your doctor–he doesn’t now where you live and if it’s at night you won’t
reach him anyway, and if it’s daytime, his assistant (or answering service)
will tell you to call the Paramedics. He doesn’t carry the equipment in his
car that you need to be saved! The Paramedics do, principally OXYGEN
that you need ASAP. Your Dr. will be notified later.
3.. Don’t assume it couldn’t be a heart attack because you have a normal
cholesterol count. Research has discovered that a cholesterol elevated
reading is rarely the cause of an MI (unless it’s unbelievably high, and/or
accompanied by high blood pressure.) MI’s are usually caused by long-
term stress and inflammation in the body, which dumps all sorts of deadly
hormones into your system to sludge things up in there. Pain in the jaw
can wake you from a sound sleep. Let’s be careful and be aware. The more
we know, the better chance we could survive.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people,
you can be sure that we’ll save at least one life. Please be a true friend and
send this article to all your friends you care about!
Thank You
