hi there
i have just joined the website and have been reading avidly. I just need some help identfying my problem. 3 years ago my wifa nad i split up (all amicable) then a month after that I was made redundant. Over the forthcoming weeks I started to develop tingling in my calves (like a muscle twitch), numbness in the tops of my ears, a knotted stomach and difficulty swallowing ie a permanent lump in my throat. I went to my doctor who is also a friend and had all the necessary blood tests which were fine. A quick referral to a counsellor and she said i was fine so my doctor gave me Propanolol. I took it for about 3 months but it never really went away. I have just come out of another relationship and it is back stronger than ever. I am 41, fit and healthy, I dont feel down particularly, probably have a glass of wine too much and have the same life problems as most people. Can anyone help or advise? I want these symproms to go but I dont want to take an drugs if can help it. Part of me says it is a state of mind that I should be able to get out of but i dont know where to strat. Is it anxiety, low self esteem, depression or what. No Idea!!!
Hope you can help me
Chris
