Judging from this and your other post you seem like you're having a really bad anxiety period :( I get all these things on and off all day sometimes they last all day, it can be terrifying.

Couldn't have said it better than scrog.
All your symptoms will subside once you stop being scared of them. Let it pass over you....

I'm gonna do what scrog said!!! Hope it works for me!!
But in a way when I've been in a shocking state of panic, nothing what I do or anyone says sinks in, I'm like in a bubble it's hard to have the power and mental ability to control such things and remain calm and rational.

Sometimes before we can tackle a problem first we need to just go with it, ride the wave THEN when we regain a moment of calm and hopefully rational, learn about and confront the problem by reading books etc.

Gaining confidence and a positive mental attitude from within , is key, I think!

Takecare :)

HI, I certainly hope you're feeling better by now!! But, I've had what you described, a number of times, and it IS very scary! It could be GERD, brought on by anxiety, or just plain old anxiety! It's hard to get a hold on it, when it's at that point though, I know.
I've tried talking to myself when it gets that bad, sometiems it works, sometimes it doesn't. I do hope you're alright now .... (do you take anything for the anxiety? xanax, perhaps...it really does help!)

Ive just got given citalopram and im to scared to take it its only 10mg aswell :( never gonna get better at this rate xx

It could be something as simple as heartburn or acid, and the pins which has brought on a panic attack, if you are worried, contact a doctor, or get any unusual pain

all very normal symptoms of panic attacks. Keep the faith. You will learn to make them go away. You are not going to have a stroke or heart attack.


Find out where the major nerves are in you body and you will see why the symptoms appear in those places. Your body is telling you its stressed/or producing too much fight or flight chemicals and you are reacting. The tension/stress has to be released somehow and if you dont exercise enough to release it - it will manifest as tingles and electric shock feelings , pains, throbbing and all sorts of feelings.

The key to it all is your brain - how to accept what`s happening and take control. Not easy as all here know - but it can be done. keep posting and reading here and you will get a lot of help.

There are tons of very helpful and informative posts and articles from fellow sufferers.
