Hiya!

[Lindsey]

Hi I'm Lindsey. I have been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks for 6 years. I am on cipralex and have had some CBT, group therapy and psychiatric help. I found this web site as my anxiety was affecting my performance at work and my supportive manager asked me to research anxiety (I never bothered to do this before!) I had an attack last week - I had to pull my car over as I thought I was having a heart attack as I had stabbing pains in my chest. I ended up in A and E - the doctor reassured me that I was not dying - my muscles had become so tense it was causing me pain!

A big welcome to the site to you and I hope you find lots to reassure you here.

Welcome aboard, Lindsey,

Muscular pains like that are oh so common. Not nice, but you'll find from looking at this site how varied the symptoms can be. Not always nice, in fact rarely nice [Sigh...]

Cheers, and take care

hay lindsey, i know exactley what your going through love i truley do.
I have palps so much its so uncomftable and nasty that i think here we go i'm going to have a heart attack and then i get chest pain, back pain and even pain in my jaw,al classic signs of a heart attact- and i get so so scared, but like the doctor said to you at the hospital ,because your body gets so tense it creates pains in ya body ,right now theres not a place in my body that dosnt hurt and if i tense myself i can feel it.
You are doing all the right things for recovery you just have to bear with it , and soon you will just wake up and feel new,it takes time i know that... im in the thick of it myself... but you will and in the meanwhile all ya nutty friends haha are here for you- we know how you feel.
