SYMPTOMS?

[langlim]

hi anyone had the following symptoms

dizziness on and off all day lasting a few days or more

lightheadedness / head rushes (freak me out, cause the panic)

Airways feel tight, like i need to cough and regularly having to take deep breaths coz i feel i am not gettin enough air in my lungs

Scared of doing anything strenous, incase my heart beat gets too fast and causes ectopic or palpitations

Scared to go out incase of panic attack

Does anyone get dizzy spells in shopping, is it the artificial lighting?

hi yes i get these symptoms too!!and a few more thrown in for good measure!!!!!i don,t know wether we get dizzy in shops because of the lighting or because we are anxious while we bomb around tesco!!!lol!!it is frustrating i know,i have had 5 good days but it has come back worse today!but i don,t know wether it,s because when we do have good days we go a bit too mad and wear ourselves out!!!have you suffered anxiety for a while?sorry i haven,t any real advice but sometimes knowing you,re not alone does help!
take care

These are all normal symptoms of panic/anxiety. I am not a panic attack sufferer per se but I do get severe bouts of anxiety, generally when I am stressed or have not been exercising or drinking too much wine!!!

I am having them as I type!! This site, in general, has helped me come to terms with them. I cannot make them disappear quickly, but just knowing that I am not the only one and telling myself that I am not about to die of a heart attack over and over and over and over...... helps to calm me down. It WILL pass....
