ok so i would like to start out by saying that i am a little nervous posting on here but i thought that it was time to take the plunge, thus this is my first post so please be nice :)
let me give you a small rundown on my anxiety/ panic history, i have always had some form of anxiety as long as i can remember (e.g intense worry about things out of my control like global warming etc) but around two years ago i experienced my first panic attack which i would attribute to excess cannabis and MDMA use as well as taking a overdose of TCAs combined with family issues and a bad relationship experience. at the time i though i was having a heart attack as i had a tightness across my chest i could not describe, shaking, vision issues etc. i have been clean as of that exact moment and have moved on to university and have turned my life around in most places apart from my anxiety.
my anxiety issues have progressively gotten worst despite my best efforts to do the right things.
recently i have been suffering from chronic chest pain for which i have had more ecgs than i can count, a 24 monitor, an echo, a cardio ampimonitor and a ct scan. which have shown good results :)
i have had terrible experiences with anti depressants and am apprehensive to take them again.
i have a few questions that i really would love to know if anyone in the community could help me answer/ relate to. so here goes:
1) is it possible to have "mental" panic attacks with no physical symptoms?
2) is it possible for my anxiety and panic attacks to morph in form as though evolving like a virus e.g presenting different symptom combinations that change in different instances?
3) do meds actually help?
4) am i the only one to have an obsessions with my heart stopping and death?
5) does anxiety and panic cause others "shiny" and hard to focus vision problems?
6) with good cardiac test results will i still die of a heart attack?
7) does it ever get any better?
some what of a long post and i appreciate all who read this very much. stay strong
