Mind and Body symptoms due to anxiety and panic. Check it out!

[pettygil]

I get a lot of these symptoms, and depending on how bad the panic attack is I could have 8 or more symptoms at once. I been to the doctor and she says i'm vitamin defencient..I am trying to find a vitamin I am comfortable taking, without worry I will die. She says she really thinks it's nerves and panic, along with, she thinks it also could be nuralogical as well.. I get burning feeling in my head, toes, fingers and wrist.
So for the most part it's panic attacks, making me feel this way. My doctor says breaking out in hives can be nerves, as well as panic, but yea, it is also a symptom of allergic reactions as well, in my case panic and nerves..

Hello everyone. I am just starting the program again and had started it 2 years ago. Just had another attack. You think its your heart, you go to the cardiologist, then to GastroIntestinal guy because the chest pain is so bad. Esophagael spasms. Anyone have them? I have had loss of appetite, severe dizziness and severe tiredness. Been on ativan and prozac for a month. No where where I want to be yet. Is hard to go to work and function there. Having a Psych consult this week. Was hard to get to see someone soon and they dont take insurance. Am desperate enough to pay for right now. Didnt think the program was going to work the first time through but am trying again. I have displaced my relaxation tape. I have bought another kind in the mean time. It helps but havent mastered the meditation. My mind still wanders. Have been sick for a month and a half.Anyone out there have anything similar to me?

I have experienced a number of these symptoms, but I have learned to manage them. I am no longer afraid, but since my doctor took me off of my meds, the symptoms are returning. I know what they are, but I want them to go away. Any ideas or comments?

I have recognized so many of those symptoms it helps to look at them in black and white to remind yourself it's all in your mind. It's the way I think so I tell myself ( STOP THINKING LIKE THAT ) Brick by Brick.......... One of the things that has helped me is when I start feeling some of the symptoms doesn't matter which one it's like a menu at a restaurant just pick one is I tell myself to shut of the vavle in my head that releases the chemicals that make me feel this way. It works for me
sometimes I even make it into a song.

Hi, I had been doing well, but think i am having a "setback" all of a sounding out of no where, I have the anxious feelings again and mind is going a mile a minute, having cold chills, irritable, and yesterday was at a tournament, thought I was there, but my mind sure was not, had a lot of trouble with concentration, going up on wrong lanes all the time. But I must give myself a pat on the back at least I was throwing the darn ball

Hi everyone. I am 39 (will be 40 on Saturday) I think I suffer from anxiety. It's been years though. Not a recent development. I read all the symptoms on here and I am glad to know I am not alone in this. My mom has depression and anxiety and has taken medication. My sister's do too. Low doses all of them. Is it hereditary? I worry almost everyday that something bad is going to happen to me at any minute. I am always worried that I am going to have a heart attack. Physically, I am fine though! It's all in my head I guess. It may not be all day that I worry but, at some point, those thoughts get in my head. I hate it.

Hi Wisconsingirl, I'm not sure how far you've gotten in the program yet but Lucinda does say that anxiety and depression can definitely be genetic! So it makes sense that your family has anxiety as well.
and yep, always remember that it's all in your head. All your feelings begin with a thought first!

This symtom list is always good to look at.. it always reminds me that it's all me doing it.

Thank you, perspectivegirl!
