Hi everyone, Im not sure if what I suffer from is anxiety but if I describe symptoms and situations it occurs maybe you could help out?
The first attack happened a few years ago, I felt a radiating dull pain at first on my outter lower ribcage that got to such an intensity I was doubled over and finding it hard to breath it feels like severe tightening of the diaphragm, which brings me to shivering and cold sweats, dizziness feeling like I want to throw up, and needing to go to the loo! It panicked me so much I called the ambulance thinking I was going to die! They arrived quickly and by that time I felt completly normal! Like nothing had happened, they checked me over and found nothing at all. Suggested a panic attack.....but I wasnt worrying about a thing at the time.
I was having a tough time with certain goings on in my life and I dont express things to people easily, I wonder if it was/is my subconscious...but how is that possibly to physically feel like that seemingly out of the blue?
I've had them reaccurring ever since and always at the most bizarre moments usually when I'm doing the simplest of things like settling the children or running a bath, doing the washing...and it always starts with the diaphragm pain.
I do get a feeling of sheer dread off and on throughout the day and this sick feeling at the pit of my stomach there is a lot going on right now but isn't there for most people? I dont understand it and i'm fed up with feeling like this.
Anyone help?:shrug::shrug::weep::shrug::weep:
