Goldeng,
Though we suffer from the same Disorder we experience different symptoms and don't feel the same.
Seems I forever feel bad..I have Health Anxiety on top of Anxiety,Panic Disorder,Agoraphobia and Anticipatory Anxiety.
Cancer and Diabetes are two of my current worries..keep thinking something is very wrong with me..
Hope you are feeling much better!
Feel generally unwell (ill)

Holly J,
In October '07 for a solid 2 Weeks straight,I had trouble swallowing.I stopped eating solid Food and relied on Pudding,Pimento Cheese Spread,soft Foods and Liquids.Was SCARED out of my mind!
It was Stress..my ex-Fiance was grieving me..dumped his sorry no good for nothing Emotionally Abusive Arse and no problem since..
If I've had derealization haven't noticed..at times I wonder if I have IBS and Acid Reflux.
For YEARS all I did was pay attention to my Breathing (still do it,but it's lessened in severity).I started sighing,yawning and taking deep breaths every second of the Day..there have been so many times that I couldn't expand my Chest to perform my "rituals"..I literally drove myself into a frenzy over it!
My other fear is:When I do have Blood work what if something IS found?I don't want to be sick..
I have used Valerian Root,drank Chamomile and Passionflower Tea..it helps to calm,but doesn't treat Panic Disorder..
Thank you for the,"I'm gonna be OK"..I sure do pray you are right!
Feel better soon..

Thanks, Gal.
My psychiatrist suggested I get on iron pills because I had none in my blood. He ran a couple blood tests on me. I am soooo tired all of the time, and the iron actually helps me feel less tired. I have taken iron before because of anemia.
For whatever reason, I still have not been to a general practitioner. Maybe I'm afraid to find out there's nothing wrong with me, except for anxiety and depression. I hope your doctor visit goes well, and that the doctor can help you to feel better.

Your welcome..I really don't think you have anything to worry about by seeing a General Practitoner..afterall you see a Psychiatrist who is also a Physician..my fear is something other than Anxiety and Panic WILL be found!I am keeping Fingers crossed that my Doctor who is MD and specializes in Family Practice and an OB/GYN will take me seriously..maybe he will after he learns me better..
