Hey NMP
I have been told I am suffering form Anxiety by the lovely people at my hospital, what they are not telling though is how to deal with it..
I keep getting this sensation that my nose is blocked and that I am struggling to breathe, my heart races and I find myself checking my pulse frequently, if for whatever reason I percieve it to be slow I panic that my heart is stopping. I swear I can rest my hand on my chest and check it's beating I feel as though it misses a beat or it slows dramatically and I panic. Am I causing this, is my mind making it up, is this due to anxiety??
I have a few symptoms, my throat gets quite sore sometimes, it feels like I am not breathing oxygen and the air that is coming in is really hot and it feels almost suffocating..
Also these headache's are really concerning me, I feel like I have had one for 2 months solid, when I am busy or focussing on something else, I don't notice them, as soon as I relax it is there, above my left temple spreading over the top and towards the back, it's like a constant swelling or pressure feeling headache, occasionally it turns to a split second sharp, shooting or stabbing pain, that causes me to stop straight away, for a second it feels like my whole body is on a go slow, shutting down even, that causes me to panic that I am fainting or dying, it's so aggrevating..
I have had all the checks, bloods, ECG, Stress Test ECG, Lung Capacity, Heart Rate etc etc and I am told I am fit as a fiddle but, and this is what is driving me insane, Why do I not believe them, I tell myself I am ok but deep down I don't believe it.. Is this causing my anxiety to stay and create new symptoms? Is there a secret in controlling this that I have not been told or found out because this has started to really affect my life and it's making me feel like I am crazy....
Any advice would be amazing..
