Whats your worst symptom?

[crazyhayz]

or one you find the hardest to cope with?

Mines my heart as i know that its my lifeline lol. Its the thing thats keeping me alive. I worry with every palp or chest pain, and i deffo think chest pains are my biggest fear. I get panicky every time i get chest pain, and even more so with dizziness/palps with the pains!! I must admit though, dizziness and balance problems are having a severe effect on me right now, i keep thinking MS or some other brain disease :(

Hi mine is the dizziness even though I had it since May its still really scares me more than anything as it seems to last the longest and I hope I havent got it for the rest of my life and I don't think I will be able to cope.

Hi

Mine is the rush when an attack is coming on, the speed of feeling "normal" and the lack of ability to focus. It is scarey.

[crazyhayz]

yeah i hate the focus thing, do ur eyes ever go all weird and sketchy like u cant look at one thing for too long as ur focus goes really strange and u get lightheaded? or blurry vision?

Hmm I'm pretty much same as you, chest pains and palptiations/missed beats that hurt me scaring me the most. Probs my top one is the missed beats that make my left arm go numb/hurt or hurt my chest at same time. I know it's all anxiety deep down but everytime it happens I always think my hearts gonna pop! ;( xx

You can survive heart attacks though - it is not all doom and gloom

I'm not scared or concerned about any of the physical anxiety symptoms as I know they are false/anxiety induced.

It is the mental symptoms that frighten me most - depersonalization is the absolute worst for me and the fear and dread comes a close second.

Mines is I always pay attention to my throat, I swallow to make sure everythnigs ago, I stay alert for the mildest of changes.

Just now it's slightly irritated/hoarse and hurts when I aswallow, hence making me worried.... and so it begins... :roflmao:

[crazyhayz]

Yes i agree debs71, i hate the mental symptoms too, i get bad depersonlization and derealization, speshly when in supermarkets, do u get it in supermarkets????

I get really bad feelings like im guna faint and ive also recently started feeling too scared to be alone in the house, and i even have a 23 month old baby boy to look after. I hate how much it ruins ur life.

Mines chest pain and the pain in my left arm. Even after all the heart tests been fine when the pain comes I'm convinced its my heart x

Mine is choking and throat feelings, breathing... But right now, the ongoing pain in my tummy. 3 weeks of it is beginning to feel like I will never see the light again :'( x x x

i just hate everything about being a hypochondriac especially the obsession with looking things up and when u feel like you have cancer in some area u start feeling pain there and your mind just goes out of control thinking that your days are numbered. i just wanna shut my brain off
