Lisa,

The symptoms sound familiar to me - it's just what I'm like at the height of my anxiety. If you've had tests and the doctor isn't worried then it's almost certainly down to anxiety. But of course, the more you worry and think it's something serious, the worse you will feel. I know that vicious circle very well.

Try to stay calm, make sure you're eating, even if you don't feel like it and try to stay active. You will start to feel better, I guarantee.

Take care

Hey Hun... Know exactly how you feel! You described perfectly what happened to me last night. I had a panic attack that woke me up at 4 am and had all the same sensations... The worse for me was the chest pain, feeling sick, racing heart, and sweating. I always swear it has to be a heart attack and I usually call 911 or have someone take me to the ER. Ive had so many tests on my heart, lungs, bloodwork... Everytime they say im 100% healthy, but i sure dont feel that way!

This time, I just rode it out, but now many hours later I still feel nauseous, am crying on and off and feel so tired. Feel free to PM me or we can chat on this thread if you'd like. It seems were both having a bad day :(

Take Care xx

Lisa,

Sorry you're still feeling so bad. I do know how you feel. Keep trying, you will start to feel better. I know it's hard, but try to eat and keep as active as you can. I find that, when I'm at my worst and just want to go to bed, I always feel much worse if I do. Forced myself out for a walk today and feel better for it.

To answer your question, I live in Yorkshire - you?

Take care and keep in touch

Lisa, things will get better. Keep on talking about your problems. And perhaps find a group in your area?

Good luck Vince:)
