Hi there! you're not alone. I have just joined this site tonight but I have suffered anxiety and panic attacks since i was 16 - nearly 40 years! At 22 I was quite a mess but today I am really okay - just a few things that I cant do. So you will be too ...I had those breathig feelings and fears about my heart, but hey! nothing happened to me! You will be okay. I promise.

It is normal to have those feelings with you 24/7. But you don't need to suffer alone. There is help out there. Go and see your doctor. Come here and chat with others and find out what helps them. You don't have to keep suffering and you don't have to do it alone.

I have days where I feel like that constantly - sometimes it can last for a week, sometimes less. I went to my doctor recently and have been referred for therapy - do you think this could help you?

I've had trouble with swallowing a lot when anxious and often feel like there's some sort of lump in my throat - has left me convinced of terrible diseases and I made my poor doctor check my neck when I was there last. No lumps or bumps, despite me feeling them!

I hope things start to look up for you soon, you're not even slightly alone :)
