Well, where do I start? I guess by saying that I am looking for help and this is the first time in my life that I feel like I need it. I have always been the super jock, tough guy, Marine that is mentally tough. I always though that I would be the guy that got shoot by a jelous husband....Not have anxiety. I have never let anything bother me my entire life and have been able to cope with what ever cam my way. Most of my friends say that I am the most level headed, cool hand person they know and I would agree.

Well about 2 months ago, I was in the gym working out and I had just taken a brand new supplement (N.O.)...Well I had a bad reaction and my BP dropped and it felt like I was about to pass out. The next morning, I wake up and jump into the shower. While I was in the shower, out of no where I got this massice headach and my eyes started to go crazy....I thought I was having a stroke! Well that was the start. To shorten things up, I have seen every doc from Cardio, Nero and so on. I have been through several tests. I was having this having mild headachs, dizziness, mental fog, feeling of doom, tightness in chest and throat and just a general ill feeling. After everthing, my family doc said it was anxiety. After she told me this 3 weeks ago, it took a lot of the doom feeling away and the constant worry of my heart. She put me on Clonazapam on .5 1-2 tab, 1-3 times daily as needed. I have been trying not to use the meds but I have been avg 1 tab a day and 4 days per week. things seemed to bee getting better, but out of no where on sunday night I had a panic attack while I was trying to go to sleep. I was even thiinking of anything but going on vacation this week. So the last 3 days have been really tough and I am just looking to see how I might be able to cope with this till I can make a recovery...I will not let this define my life.

But, I got to say that it is nice to see that there is somewhere I can go for a little help.
