Hi everyone,
Just started on the site today, feel like I need to speak to people in the same situation as me.
I have been suffering from (I hope) panic/anxiety for 17 months (since my girlfriend went into hospital). Do the symptoms change as from time to time? First I had panic attacks which came over all of a sudden then I started to get these dull symptoms. For instance all of a sudden I would come over light headed as if I was hovering above the ground instead of walking. This lasted for approx 3 months then went away.
I have had a constant ache in my chest for over a year however if I don't stretch it, it isn't there but it feels like I have to stretch it to constantly remind me that its there.
Recently however I get the feeling I need to breath deeper, not an out of breath feeling like I have just run a marathon but a feeling like I need to take more air in for no apparent reason.
I have been to the drs on several occasions had blood tests for Thyroid, Liver function, aneamia and other things, all have conme back fine. They have checked my heart, said the bpm and blood pressure were both fine, had a listen to the lungs again fine.
Does any one else suffer with sypmtoms like this?
I keep telling myself if it was anything else such as cancer in a year and a half it would have got a heck of a lot worse.
Thanks
Benjy
