Hi, this is my first time posting here.
I'm 26yrs old and 6wks ago I accidently took the wrong dosage of medication prescribed to me for kidney stone which in turn caused me to faint. I was seated on floor so just fell sideways grazed above and below my eye and grazed my elbow. Went to Hosp, got checked out and went home.
The following day around lunch I felt nauseas, dizzy, shaky and my heart was racing. I went to bed and slept, woke feeling slightly better. On the Friday (next day) same thing happened while trying to get my lil guy ready for school. I called the ambulance. Went to Hospwwhere they did ECG, monitored me, chest xray, bloods, urine etc...all they could find was elevated heart rate. They were gonna discharge me but I was worried of dizzy so admitted me to ward, monitored, did reg ECG etc...during that night I felt nauseas, boiling face, feeling hot but feelingcold and shaky and stuff. Next day iIwas sent for chest ct which also was clear and iI went home. By the next day I was arguing with myself in my head about whether I needed to go to hospital or not cos I felt like death. By the arvo I couldn't do it anymore and went up.
They put me thru straight away cos of rapid heart rate did bloods, urine, ECG and then the doctor got ultrasound machine and looked at kidneys, gall bladder (which has a stone in it) and heart. All of which he said look normal. A specialist of some kind came in with a different ultrasound that showed the heart in blue and red and also said looks fine. He did the neurological stuff like me touching my nose touching his finger, jumping on one foot and then he looked right in my eyes with torch. All good sent me on my way.
I had a cpl of days fighting my feelings, I thought I was gonna have a heart attack. For a few days I was dizzy, shaky, heart racing, loss of appetite, jelly legs and couldn't really do anything. One of the nights I ended up at hospital scared. I was shaking, short of breath, dizzy, heart racing and when I got there they asked if I was having a panic attack? I didn't know, all I knew is I thought it was the end and I fear that ALOT. I'm only 26, have a 5yo son, due to be married to partner of 9yrs in March etc...they took me thru and did ECG and urone which were clear and spoke to me of anxiety. Sent me home. I felt reassured for a little while but still struggled all those symptomsand really thought iI was gonna die or something terrible happen to me.
Well...I ended up there once more and they said I was dehydrated. Gave iv fluids, ECG, bloods, urine etc...they pushed the fluid thru really fast I thought and I started to shake - this worried me immensely. I'd sent my partner and son to get themselves some dinner, didn't have the buzzer and no doc/nurse in sight. Shaking got worse...and worse. Hubby n son came back and I asked him to get nurse (I was absolutely petrified by now) she did bp and also mentioned my heart rate gone up a bit and told doctor who said she would b there soon. The asking got worse, heart rate up to 140-150 and I needed to pee, partner came to look and I told him you and our son know how much I love you? In case anything happens? He said bit won't, you'll be fine.
Walking back to my bed, shaking was slowing and I was calming. Doc eventually came and said it was a panic attack See gp. The following wk I had a 24hr holter monitor. Results were sent to old gp found a new one cos other one didn't seem to care. New one was great on the day Isaw him i was having a good day. He said I seem in good spirits see how I go. And discussed anxiety with me. I went home feeling good. Following day wasn't so good...heart race, dizzy, shaky, nausea, pins n needles in hands, sore chest and arms, headache etc...this went on for days...then I feel OK then not...then Monday just gone I went to go cos I feel it was getting worse/Hardee for me to deal with and I am having trouble accepting that this is anxiety. He gave me a questionairre thing and also sent me for more bloods. I went back to him yesterday cos iI was really struggling and the previous night thought I had a brain tumor and was gonna die, I have as scared to fall asleep. I did - eventually. Yesterday I woke with racing heart, couldn't calm myself but seemed better if we went out in the car. So we did, then went to doctor. I spoke to him for half hr he did the questionnaire result wwhich was depression = 9 anxiety = 19. Blood results fine and he could tell I was anxious. He prescribed me cymbalta 30mg once daily.
I got this pain in Centre of chest low like gall bladder area maybe yesterday arvo (later after doc) and pain in left ribs to the side and under breast so went to hospital they did ECG, bloods, urine ad xray - all fine and they couldn't tell me y I had this pain. I have been freaking ever since that its my heart. I have chest pains and pain in my back and shoulders but I can't tell if it's muscular or not. My heart rate has been up and Ijust feel a bit off. Tried the deep breathing which helped a lLil. today was my first dose of cymbalta and iI am also scared about getting side affects! Anyone relate to this constant fear of heart ornhead problems and scared of dying? Anyone overcome it? How? I see my gp again on Thursdayfor a care plan to be put ttogether and referral to psychologist for therapy.

I've also had popping ears sensation, felt like I couldn't swallow (only for few secs), derealisation, felt unbalanced but didn't stumble or what not, felt very tired, had split second times where I've thought I'm gonna lose control of my body, arm pains, twitches/spasms etc...
I've had good and bad days but still can't accept this as anxiety.
