are you suppose to feel all these symptoms with d/p
headaches
poor memory
forgetting what your gonna say
and pains in your body

this all started when i had chest pain and thought i was having a heart attack. a/e said i was fine and reffered me to specialist
prior to that i have been under severe stress.

i still get pains everyday and am also waiting to see a nurologist
its also as if my mind is blank and i'm frightened it might be the start of something ele's.
this has been ongoing for a month now.

Hi Dreamy. Didn't want you to feel ignored. Welcome aboard. :)

In my untrained opinion its quite common for first three symptoms to be exhibited during depression/anxiety/stress. Even normal short term stress. We get mentally muddled quite easily. As with anything its worth a bit of medical consultation, or at least reading up on things yourself since there are physical illnesses out there too. The pain is a trickier one (for me). Certainly stress and anxiety symptoms can make us physically tense which in turn can cause aches and pains. Hopefully some others
will reply on this.

Its worth reading the information pages off of the left hand menu. Pages line this. (http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/articles/depression) There are also some good pages at Anxiety Care, like this one (http://www.anxietycare.org.uk/docs/depression.asp).

Don't rule out a complex mixture of anxiety/stress/depression. We often get treated for the last two as the first is less obvious unless we get panic attacks.
