Went to bed not feeling well last night after a day that seemed fairly good.. Just was feeling nervous or ansi...Today i woke up and didn't want to get up before dark..which is unusual for me.My eyes were bloodshot..My ears ringing..my vision blurred..and I was super tired and weak..Feel like I have the flu..Im stopped up and there is a pressure behind my eyes like it hurts for them to be around a glare.. I feel nausated but feel hungry ,and my heart is beating what seems to be normai with no temperture.I feel so sleepy and haven't been out of bed and when I get up feel weak..and just can't put my finger on it ,but sick.. Im so confused now I never know if its a real sickness imagined sickness or something inbetween.I always read that you have pain all over your chest and neck and your are nauseated and feel like you are lightheaded when you are having heart issues..My head fills weird to.i have had pains off and on all last night on my right side chest through back but went away and really no pain to mention today..just feel sick. weak..spaced out..and whoosy.. Anxiety? Please tell me? I dont trust my judgement anymore..

Hi..
I've had something very similar before. I've woken up and felt pretty much what you are feeling but it was being absolutely exhausted (even though i'd gone to bed at a normal time). I went back to sleep for a good few hours and woke up fine.
Hope you're okay :)

Hiya,

Sorry you not feeling too good. I feel that the fact you went to bed already feeling anxious is pertient here becasue you probably haven't rested properly and tiredness can build up over time without us knowing then bang..... it can hit us. The blurred vision, weakness, eyes bloodshot and pressure and lack of wanting to be around glare all smacks to me of overtired and like spaced out.
I've had the same and I personally would recommend you put it down to anxiety and try to go back to sleep. I notice the time though so am hoping you managed to get back to sleep and are now feeling a little better. Also body pains as you know can all be a result of tension and stress and if your body is overtired and not rested this again can be a build up which is now showing itself.

Let us know how you are feeling when you come back on to read the messages.
love Sax

Hi i myself went for a nap yesterday afternoon. I woke up with a banging sore head and my vision was also blurry, semed to be in my left eye. Vision was like that for half an hour before it went back to normal well as normal as it can as my vision is affected big time. I also have the pressure in my ears and my whole head. Not very pleasant i know and scary.

Its weird.. haven't really been feeling that well today.I sat in bed trying to dose back off for a couple of hours but couldn't seem to go to sleep..I sat in bed and looked on the computer for why I was feeling bad.that was a bad idea..been feeling nausea for couple of days and well started feeling hungry..the wife made us some food and for a bit I was feeling better then the nausea set back in..I suppose maybe its gas from tenshion building..I don't know but about that time my son called to remind us to go and watch the media shower and well I wasn't all that anxious to do it ..We went out in the back and sat in the truck and watched a little while.My heart skipped a few beats i suppose from the activity and a little gas..but we sat there and as I sat there started to take my mind off of my pulse.. obsessive pulse taker here..I actually started enjoying myself and came in and ate a little more..that was a mistake..started feeling nausea again and have been here looking for the connection to heart...geez..found it with heart attack symptoms..So I stopped looking.It seems Im so obsessed with my heart for the last few days I can't seem to relax although my pulse seems better than normal I can't get it out of my head..Last night I had to try a long time to stop thinking about it and try to have the i don't care attitude but it took awhile..and well its back again tonight.. i could have all the test in the world and don't think it would help..I wouldn't believe them..Its something that I have to do one of two things.. Decide I just don't care if im having a heart attack or stroke .. or just try to believe the doctors that examined me that they were correct..It just that the last few days been feeling the effects of maybe a little virus or cold or allergies and when I feel bad I start obsessing..I just checked my email to see if anyone had wrote while running the things about heart attack and being sick of worry online..I am just so sick of worrying.I am almost to the point that if it happens let it happen and get it over with.. Im tired of the worry and everytime I get something I want to plan in my mind I keep thinking whats the use I probably wont be alive..I don't know what happened for a few days I was on a run of not worrying and then it came again..i most be obsessive compulsive.I can be looking at something else or reading something else and I will have to minimise it and look up something on illness.. i am going to break myself somehow of this stupid habit..one way or another..But anyway ...sorry to bore you with all this stuff and complaints im glad that you wrote to me and checked on me.. its just that I have to realize when im not feeling good that its not always something fatal...Also there is something that really bothers me..before we moved here 8000 ft higher I used to could get by with 3 hours sleep and now if I sleep less than 9 or 10 im still feeling bad.. I just don't get it.. and its getting like im allergic to light..its makes me a little weird feeling in the head when I wake up and look outside..I can't really describe the feeling but it bothers me.. Am I doomed to live a nocturnal life..?im sorry again lost in complaning.. geez..i get so sick of my complaints and I know that other people do ..Im just so tired of it all ..and sick of being sick or worrying about being sick..its not that i don't read about how anxiety and depression work..I read positive things..im on meds and well do everything I can do to get over this worry ,but still can't seem to make it work..i better go..I have written way to much but thank you from the bottom of my heart for your concern and writing to me..Michael

Hi there Michael, i relate to everything that you have said. I myself just can,t seem to accept that it is anxiety. Have had all sorts of tests done and all came back normal. I am also confused as to whether i am ill or pyschologically ill and feel i am going to drop dead. I have got to the point if i do i don,t care just like you. My symptoms are that severe, mainly focused around my head etc, it is really hard to handle. I just wish i could believe the doctors. I know they are righty but my brain won,t let me.

Its hard to do..and I get a bit paranoid already when im not feeling well.I grant you it could be from not sleeping good.. Who knows.. when you sleep like a vampire all day and wake just about dark..thats enough to give you the creeps..But my wife convinced me that it was ok..and after I thought about it.. I thought..heck why not..nothing to do here during the daytime anyway..But I feel like that guy in the movie..Interview with a Vampire..You know ..where he looks at his last sunrise..and feels remorse..Its a bad habit that we have gotten into about sleeping this way and think actually its what started my depression.Most days ..or nights in my case its starting to feel normal but well I think still it may have been a factor in starting the way i feel ,but now when we have to do something during the daytime it almost creeps me out.. its like my mind has decided that night time is the norm..But anyway .. I think the reason that I am so stressed today and yesterday about the feelings is that I may have a cold or maybe a virus or an allergy..who knows in this place or maybe just a good case of prarie dust .. Its just freaky.. you are cold but if you get under the blanket your face sweats..or get this you go outside and its 20 degrees and your face feels like its sweating and its not..that one has been clarified as normal here though by a specialist.. oh goody that has helped me alot..Im a nocturnal creature where you sweat when you are cold lol..that helps alot.. ok thats two down..I used to be able to eat pretty much what i wanted didn't worry about that donut or extra cup of coffee.I have lost 30 or 35 lbs and still losing weight..although according to the weight charts its great..Im perfect but I keep losing weight...but if i eat that extra donut the sugar is going to kill me or make my pulse beat harder and then im going to freak out...i don't know its just miserable.. I just got up and went to the kitchen screaming silently to me..go ahead and do it..just do it.. get it over with .. let me die..I don't care..you know..trying to make myself believe that i didn't care but the sad thing is i do..I dont want to die..but this isn''t living. I just sick of being sick or thinking im sick so I have to adapt that attitude no matter what ...quit looking the symptoms up.. if i have a pain ignore it.. If i get dizzy so what some one will find me. and if my heart beats too fast and i have the other symptoms then call an ambulance but if i just get weird symptoms then the heck with it.. Im going to make myself ignore it ..and try to plan for the days ahead..and if im not here to enjoy my handiwork then someone else will and I wont care because I wont be here.I just told my wife that I was sick of worry and fear of death..She said you think that im worried about dying.. i wont know.. and if you dropped dead you wouldnt know so stop worrying..yeah like that makes me feel alot better.. she was told she had terminal cancer 12 years ago and had to get her things in order to die and then she went to the doctors office for a check up and couldn't find a sign of it..They don't know what happened..but sure why should she worry..she has already been told that she was dying and didn't die .. so whats another time to be told or to die.. I will overcome this. I will . I will find something that clicks that makes me not care and just let it all go.. I will believe the doctors that I saw and wont give in to test and will ignore the pulse that pounds in my head everyday just like i have ignore the squealing in my head for the last 30 years.. I will make it .. and if I don't.. I guess stuff happens.. I hope you the best too.. and just keep trying..we will finally have something that clicks that says SO WHAT...Thanks for writing. take care and pm if you would like. and try really hard not to let it get to you . My father in law said to me even though he didn''t know I worried about being sick is ..told me to not to go to doctors..cause they always find something wrong with you .. avoid them at all cost.. lol.. he is 83.. so well maybe it makes sense.
