Hello there my name is sammy, im 21 years old and i need someone help!
basically 3 days ago, i suddenly felt ill, shakey jittery light headed and weird. I intially thought i had drunk too much caffine, but i later had what i -think- was a very bad anxiety attack. ive had panic attacks before about 4 years ago, i was treated and managed to get ove it, this however felt alot different.
I felt all tingley much like you do when you past out, my head went all 'fluttery' and i felt like i was going to be sick (i didnt feel sick in the stomach, it was more just the sensation). i then got breathless, hot and panicked.
After some deep breaths it passed and i was exhusted, i fell asleep and was tired and drained the next day. I had ANOTHER one just the same the following night - it seems to be when im about to fall alseep.
Yesturday i felt ok, not nervous though i had a terrible headache - then about 10pm i suddenly got nervous again for no reason. i didnt have a attack but i did wake up with bad nerves around 3am, and the feeling i was absolutly starving. i had a restless night, and in result ive felt very nervous all day today, really bad butterflies.
I think it may be due to me coming off my anti depressants about 2 months ago. I took Citalopram. I started taking it again 2 days ago.
My symtoms are:
Extreme nervousness (like butterflies/stage fright)
Tiredness, no energy
Tight throat. lump in throat.
No appitite. Hungry but stuggles to eat. can drink fine.
food feels uncomfortable 'heavy' in stomach or stuck in throat.
feeling of extreme hunger (at night).
nerves dissapear occationally. come in 'waves'
occational spots in the eyes.
fluttery ears
high sensativity to smell and taste.
rushed thoughts, unable to relax mind.
when i had the 'attack' :
breathlessness
feeling of passing out
numb feet
shaking legs
crazy high speed thoughs.
feeling of sudden rush of adrenaline.
feeling extremly scared (who wouldnt!)
The thing is there seems to be nothing that triggers it, im sitting here with a nervous stomach for no reason! its crazy and i tell myself that, but it dosnt work.
do you think this is anxiety attacks? and do you think the citalopram will help in time? or does this not go away?
