Is this anxiety?

[Schoop]

Hello.:)

First of all; I'm 19 years old and I do not suffer from any disease and take no medication.

About three months ago I started getting heart palpitations, breathlessness and chest pain - especially when I was about to sleep.

Now, I've still got those symptoms once in a while, but these last couple of weeks I've been dealing a lot more with a stiff neck, headaches, dizziness to the point of feeling like I'm going to faint, nausea, pain in my left underarm, ear pain and tightness of my face/tingling feelings in general around my body and random twitches.

Some times my head also feels tender to touch.

I've once made an emergency call because I suddenly felt dizzy, couldn't breathe right, felt like my chest was on fire and my face and hands went numb.

Now today and two days ago I had sudden dizzy attacks where I just had to lie down because I feared tipping over.

I've visited my doctor thrice, gotten blood tests, heart scans and worn a heart monitor for a couple of days.

None of it shows anything unusual.

Is it anxiety?

I constantly fear I'll faint in public, I hate being alone and I fear dying.

I really just want to get answers and get through this.:weep:

This sounds a lot like Anxiety especially as its similar to what I originally went through before being diagnosed.
I too had multiple blood tests and heart monitor tests which all came up empty, it was only two years later that I suspected I had anxiety and 5 years after that I got myself diagnosed. have you reached out yet? seeked support or help? it might be a good idea to start with taking a trip up to your doctors and seeing if they can refer you :)

Much love x

Hey!
Thank you for answering. I'm sad it took so much time before you got an answer, but I hope you've got the help you need.
My doctor only said she thought it might be anxiety, but said she could not do more for me, so I honestly don't know who I should go to, it's all very confusing.
I don't know if I should reach Our to her again, I fear she may have coloured me crazy, especially since I saw her just this Wednesday :shrug:

Have you been under any stress or have you had any major life events (good or bad) recently?

SOUNDS LIKE ANXIETY all those other things you think are wrong with you are all caused by your brain sending wrong signals all over your body , you not physically ill but it sure feels that way, STOP the anxiety and the other problems will fade away . HOW to stop it is up to your doctor a three week low benzo script may clear it if you have nothing thats worrying you:shades:

I wish I could say that something was happening in my life, but no, not really. I've actually been doing a whole lot of nothing for almost a year :shrug:
