Hello everyone! Long time reader of NMP!
I'll cut a long story short, I am 28 year old, who has a long history of anxiety and panic symptoms. I have had most of the symptoms associated with anxiety over the years and still get a few although I do feel a bit better nowadays compared to the years I spent taking Citalopram for depression with anxiety.
The only medication I take now is 10mg of Amitriptyline daily as a preventative for migraines, which has been working for nearly 3 years now.
However since April 2011 I have been experiencing sharp pains in my arms particularly my left, the pain tends to be near my bicep and down near my wrist, this does come and go but lately it seems to be hanging around a bit longer, I also get some sharp chest pains, pains in my back and cough sometimes when I'm panicking or nervous, the more I think about it the worst it gets and then when I think oh I haven't had that cough, it all comes back within a few hours! Also when I'm coughing I get a metallic/blood taste in my mouth. I am worried that all these pains is a heart attack brewing and that taking Amitriptyline has damaged my heart.
Also I have looked at the symptoms of heart attacks and this has made me worse, now im getting a bit of jaw pain too. Any help appreciated. :weep:
