Hi guys
My first time posting really could use some help . . .
Have always had anxiety in my life but never to this extent. I went away to Africa for work a couple months back and developed a bloated, uncomfortable stomach with no appetite. I managed to last till the day I left and the anxiety hit me like a freight train. My neck was burning hot and my head was splitting I was pacing round departures positive I was going to die in here or on the plane. When I got back home I went straight to a&e where they gave me the all clear.
So a few weeks go buy and I'm sent away again but just to Scandinavia. Thought it would be different but the afternoon on the first day I had a bad panic attack and was scared the whole week of something being wrong with my chest and heart. Again go to the docs when I get back who say I'm OK.
Now to my main point thanks if you have made it this far :-). I'm am now currently in the Caribbean. I was tight chested and anxious for days before as I knew if I pulled out I have lost thousands and my partner would be furious. This is the lowest I've ever felt the anxiety is constantly in my mind, tight chest, burning pain all over, visible heartbeat all over my body and dizziness to boot. I even went to the local clinic and had my blood pressure, heartbeat, temp and breathing checked but I still feel the same. The local doc gave me lorezepan with no effect. I have six days left and it may as well be 6 months In my mind. Has anyone else had health anxiety this bad especially while abroad ? any advice/support would be so helpful.
Thanks
