I get the wierd breathing feeling as well but truly its nothing to worry about. With health anxiety we tend to magnify feelings and we jump to conclusions about our health. If you have had all the test then it you SHOULD take that as a good sign.
Most people twitch as they go to sleep and some times I get this whole body shock but again its nothing.

Try(yes its hard) not to worry

you will be ok

Hi Helen

I'm sorry your feeling poorly at the moment. I to get the twiches but for most of the time they are more like jerks, i also get the banging in my head...it's a horrid feeling.

I don't think for one moment you are about to have a stroke, from what i know i think it's anxiety. Do you feel you have a stuffy nose..? as i'm wondering if your sinuses are playing up, i use to suffer with it and i'd only have to move my head slightly and it caused dizzy spells and pain.

Try not to worry (easier said than done, i know!) maybe go and see your GP tomorrow and tell them of your concerns and how your feeling.

Thinking of you

Trish.

i dont suffer from any sinus issues as far as i know but i did go back doctors and she is referring me to a coucelling session with someone that works at the practice she said he gives you relaxation cds and things then maybe from there it might be cbt she upped my citalopram from 20 to 30 mg im still in pain with this horrid headache and shoulder pain fingers crossed the new dosage of citalopram and councelling will work i just dont want to fell like im going to have a stroke and die anymore :(

Helen, I am so sorry that you are going through all this. Please do not think you are dying, trust me. You will know when you are seriously sick. I've been under constant stress since Feb of this year over dental problems and lack of a job. I went from walking one hour a day, 6 days a week, to nothing at all cold turkey. I started getting diarreah, sinus problems, and now leg spasms. I never had this problem before. The last few months have been constant dwelling and worrying about everything in my life and now it is manifesting itself in symptoms that I never had before unless I was very stressed out.

Get out and walk, get around people. Look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you are beautiful! You are you know. Just talk positive to yourself, stay in a positive frame of mind. You are NOT dying, none of us are.
