Symptoms

What are some of your symptoms and do you have any of them 24/7?

skipping heartbeats and I get them all the time. I also waking up shaking and sometimes feel breathless.

Horrible sense of dread, impending doom. It comes in waves and increases in intensity leading up to a full blown panic. The panic feels like I am going crazy. My thoughts race but become fragmented and I loose cohesion in my thought patterns. This bleeds into more panic as I become convinced that I am losing my mind. I feel a compelling urge to run away, but run away from myself...??? Palpitations, sweaty palms, heat rushes, breathlessness. Horrible, horrible, horrible... and it can happen at a moments notice, whenever... I've had a few weeks remission, but they started again about a week ago and have been mainly in the evenings.

Tingly hands and feet, pins and needles. Itching on random places all over the body.
I also have a tight throat feeling.
These symptoms come and go throughout the day. Some days I almost feel normal, other days they come back with avengence.
None of the symptoms are painful or distressing in that sense, however I notice them, and thats enough for them to make me worry about something more sinister..
Sometimes I get a vibrating feeling in my body if awoken from a sleep.

Earlier in my life I've had, derealization, irritated bladder, pain in groin area, fatigue, palpitations, sleep disturbances, and all consuming health anxiety mixed with OCD where I constantly checked my body for enlarged lymph nodes...

Ive had all sorts of things over the last few weeks. They seem to be at bay most of the time but hit full force after a "random" panic attack. Usually I'll be alright then out of the blue I start to feel weird, then It feels like my heart stopped and a rush of heat washes over me. After that I either have a really fast or normal heart rate but feel awful. Like this wave of dread just came over me and for a few days after I get shaky, nervous, tense, change in heart rate, feel defeated on and off. After my last one Monday I have felt awful, my jaw hurt, had slight neck pain, weird feeling around my heart, tense on left side with some tingles in my arm. I believe yhe teeth are from clenching and not even knowing it. And the arm and neck from sleeping. I was convinced it was heart attack symptoms. Called the doctor and he says no but I'm going un today anyway. :scared15:

My symptoms sound identical to yours. I was diagnosed with costrochondritis and have had a stress test (no problems found), EKG (normal), Chest X-Ray (normal) and 48 hour Holter Monitor (still waiting for results). All in all I think I can safely say that all of my symptoms are anxiety and costrochondritis related.

I had a really great day yesterday and today, not so much. I have that feeling of dread and panic, tight chest and pains in my neck. Wishing that there was just a magic pill to fix it all!

What does it feel like for you? That is my worst symptom too. In fact, it's the only remaining symptom of my panic disorder - I no longer get full panic attacks or frequent physical symptoms. But I do get a blanket of mental dread and despair come over me randomly sometimes, where I feel very detached from life and my past and what my future is and where I belong and the nature of life in general. It's very heavy but it doesn't last. That's what I feel like depersonalisation is for me.

Yes mlee10 I've had a lunch of things checked as well. Three regular doctors appointments, one at a cardiologist, three ekgs, blood test a few months back, stress test 2.5 years ago, listening to my heart, checking blood pressure...have an ecg next week. I may ask to have a holter monitor as well just to be safe. It seems everything I have done satisfies me for a little then I'm onto needing a new reassurance test. Same with me... it seems like you have a great day then slip right back in again. The last sveral days for me have actually been alright but I always find myself worrying again at random times. I hear you, I wish I was a kid again with no worries lol. Brad: Im pretty sure I have that as we. Even before my first panick attack three weeks ago today, I felt it. It seems like everything I enjoyed doing I have no interest or motivation to do. I always find myself mopeing and having no energy. I recently just bought a 1969 Camaro which I have wanted for years and I have no motivation or mental energy to even work on it!.. I always find myself thinking dreary and dark thoughts even though I'm usually happy and positive.

Yah at first it felt like I was on autopilot for a year and half now I just feel so detached from myself like I'm not the same person which is silly because obviously I am, I had a panic attack and 2 days after it I woke up with depersonalization and it hasn't went away, only if I'm worried about something
