HI. since ive found this site it has made me feel better because alot of my symptoms were here although there is a wide range of symptoms.
About 2 months ago i started gettinng pains in my gut and kidneys. i thought that these were worst case scenarios and went to the hospital after having the pains for a few days. My way of dealing with things is expect the worse and anything less is a blessing, i try and over anylise everything. After a couple of meaningless trips to the AE i thought i was ok. One day i woke up feeling really bad but not the gut pains. I felt like i was in a Blur. i felt spaced out and when i looked at myself in the mirror and i looked at people it was like i was looking through them. I was getting terrible panics from my stomache upwards and i thought that somthing bad was happening. I was getting strange tingling feelings on the top of my head and on the side of my head and on my cheekbones. not all at the same time but it would shift sometimes. sometimes i would just get a headache without the blur and would be greatful of my cheekbone hurting rather than being spaced out. i had to walk out of work loads of times just walk off the fear that i was getting i thought that i was going to stay like that forever. Eventually after being off work and altogether about 3 weeks later the symptoms gradually became less and i made a full recovery and thought that i was fine.
Recently about 9 days ago i woke up and i had the same feelings again although not as bad only about 30% as bad and because i knew it would go away i was not scared of it. i think ive only had about 2 panic attacks in 8 days. i never get the tight chest or breathing difficulties. The first time i was getting horrible negative thoughts comming into my mind i thought i was going man. it was allways thoughts that i could fall off this chair and break my neck and things like that it was terrible. i had to fall asleep listening to the radio with the tv on because i was scared of my own mind. somtimes i was getting fogging in my vision and saw things moving out of my periferal vision that was freaking me out. I found that things would be worse in the morning as the spaced out feeling was more prominent. I didnt like to be alone which for me is strange because i allways like my own time. i didnt want to sleep in my bedroom for some weird reason and i was sleeping on the sofa for like 4 nights. Whenever i read somthing negative it would set me off with a bit of fear and i would have to go for a walk i would get silly thoughts in my head that would escalate.
Although this time round it isnt half as bad as it was before i think it might be anxiety. i found it hard because im a 27 year old male with a good job that i dont think is stressful. i dont really do anything im a bit of an unsociable lazy bum although i live in a shared house and everyone is great.
do you think i have anxiety because im not getting the scared feelings so much this time its more the head tingle and headaches and somtimes the blur spaced out ish vision.
many thanks
