Hello guys and girls...
I've signed up because i don't know what else to do, i think i'm going mad....
anyway, over the last few weeks or so, i've been getting symptons of anxiety and panic attacks, they used to just affect me at the evening and late night time, i would all of a sudden get up and feel so panicky, like i'm about to die or something, i get funny breathing like i can't breath properly, i feel like i have to pant really fast, then i quickly rush to another position, then i run to the toilet and look at my self in the mirror, or get a glass of water and feel like i need to drink that to make me feel right,
it's so strange, it's hard to explain, it's so scary, like my head starts swelling and i feel lightheaded... i get a wierd feeling in the back of my neck, like something is there putting pressure on it.
It used to just affect me at night, but it seems to be all the time now, but it comes in waves, like some effects are really strong sometimes sometimes it's very minor, like i just woke up, and right now i feel like my head is heavy, and "not there" so to speak, and i feel like i keep getting wierd pains in my head, and i always seems to pant now and then when breathing... i CONSTANTLY check my pulse and constantly, think that something is going to happen to me, something bad, worry i've got something inside me growing and killing me, it's really beginning to annoy me, i've done a lot of searching and most places seem to say anxiety and panic attacks, but why am i convinced it's something else?? it can't be that... it's like i know something is definately not right with my body, something is happening to me, i'm not the same as i used to be, it's like my body is telling me something? sometimes i feel like i'm falling, and dizzy.... sometimes i feel like i'm in a bubble, my chest goes all funny like my heart makes a weird feeling, like a bubble rising up, my arms goes funny... i must sound mad, but this is all what i feel... i have even dialed 999 about 6 times to get an ambulance out to me because i'm so worried something is happening to me!!
I have suffered with depression in the past, but never got any of what i get now... docs give me citalepram, but i've not took them because i can't sleep, i can't sleep anyway because i worry and i feel so wierd at night....
can anyone give me some advice? please and thank you so much, this is really beginning to put a strain on my life :(
Regards.
