Well from lookin at this site I think ive got a health anxiety prob OR HAVE I!!!!! IS IT MAYBE A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM!!!!This has been my thinking for the past year or so I dont know what brought it on. Ive had probs with my throat, like ive got something stuck in my throat its been cleared by the doc. headaches, and for the past week or so ive had probs with my breathing cant get a deep breath,my chest is tight, docs said its anxiety but the fact that im a smoker makes me worry more, IS IT SOMTHIN MORE SERIOUS? and the more i worry the worse it gets. its really doin my head in if anyones got some helpful advice or just wants to talk about thing id like to hear from you[^]

Hi Cam!
You are at the right place! Have you looked at the Forums Search yet and put in some of your symptoms? You'll find out that there are so many people dealing with the same things.
I'm pretty new here as well! I love this site. Everyone has been very thoughtful and helpful!
I have had trouble breathing and the headaches. I don't have the throat thing, but one of my best friends has panic/anxiety and it started with feeling like something was stuck in her throat. The doctors checked her out thoroughly and there's no physical cause.
Looking forward to hearing more from ya.

Hi Cam

Welcome to the forum, it a great place to meet people who understand totally what you are going through.

You will get some great advice and all the help you need.

It is highly unlikely to be anything more serious, as those symptoms are very common with anxiety. It will get worse the more you worry as your anxiety levels will be rising all the time. Take reassurance from your doctor and if you are still finding it hard ask for some tests that can give you the knowledge that it is anxiety related and nothing more than that to worry about.

Take care.

Love Sal xx

Hi Cam

i'm new aswell and have very similar symptoms, the throat problems and especially the breathing problems, i am a smoker too and worry all the time that i have something seriously wrong with me, ive been checked out and given the all clear but the feelings dont go away, the only time they go is when i catch myself in a moment that my mind was suddenly off the symptoms and i realize that it was because that i was thinking about them so much it kept them there, so i suppose the only way to stop them is to keep busy even with the horrible feelings and eventually our minds will think of something else. I know its easier said than done and im still trying to do it myself, if you have any luck mail me even if you dont we will try to battle it out together, all the best, im sure it will get better.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

Hey Cam

How are you finding the Beta Blockers. Just been put on them again for the second time... certainly seemed to help me first time round - then went a few months without. Been having a bad time again the last month or so, saw the Doctor yesterday and he's put me back on them to try to get on top the anxiety again

Good luck!!
