I have a friend in her late 20s who has been sick for about a year now. Lots of physical pain. Migraines, headaches, sinus pain. Nerve pain in her neck, up the arms, hands, and wrists. Digestive pain and intermittent constipation. Dry mouth, dry skin. Heat surges that make her want to tear off her skin. Extreme food sensitivities. Extreme fatigue – she spent a good portion of the last year completely immobilized. Lately, lots of dizziness and several fainting spells. Confusion and memory loss. And profound emotional angst – anxiety attacks, rage, bouts of terror. More and more, she calls me in tears and I’m beginning to worry about her sanity. She’s literally starting to sound crazy to me.

She went to a few doctors, and they couldn’t find anything. So she’s been seeing some practicioners of alternative medicine. They think she picked up a parasite in Thailand, and are treating her with herbs and other hokey stuff. I’ve tried not to butt in, but I’m growing increasingly concerned.

Okay, for the past couple months or so I’ve been having panic attacks lasting anywhere from a minute to a couple days, it’s awful. I’m 14 years old and I struggle to get through school, because I have anxiety attacks most of the days I go. My symptoms are feeling out of reality, out of body feeling, dreamy feeling, lightheaded, dizziness, fear of it getting worse (sometimes), sometimes I shake (visibly), fear of losing control, unstableness, not there, weird, odd thoughts, tired, can’t get to sleep, mind is racing, headaches, aching body, loss of hunger/thirst (sometimes), there’s more, but that’s the major ones…. what can I do to treat this? I already went to like 5 doctors, they kept sending me to another doctor, and I’m on a waiting list now. Is this anxiety or something else? Please help, this is amazingly uncomfortable / annoying / unneeded. I want help…it’s interfering with my life, it sucks..

I went to the ER about 2 months ago because of an anxiety attack. He referred me to see a phychologist. He said I’m developing generalized anxiety disorder. I worry all the time about me health because of the anxiety symptoms. I don’t get attacks anymore…I’m just in a state of anxiety all the time. I’ve had a blood test, EKG, and a thyroid test. I have symptoms like chest pain, tingly arms & hands, headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue etc.

I have had these attacks of pain since i was about 12-13 years old. I have been to the doctor but i have never been diagnosed with what is causing this and as ive gotten older it happens less frequently, having sex used to bring it on, now it doesn’t and it just comes on out of the blue.It starts as a cramping right above my pubic bone and intensifies into what seems like a severely painful charley horse, i break out in a hot then cold sweat, feel sick like im gonna puke and dizzy like im gonna black out. I always think that the sweats nausea and dizziness is me having an anxiety attack because of the pain. Maybe tmi for some but i go sit on the toilet as soon as this starts happening and even though i dont feel like i have to i keep pushing til i force out a bm because i have found that its the only way to make my pain lessen and start to go away. Anyway, im just wondering, will i get the same feelings when i go into labor. Has anyone ever experienced an anxiety attack going through labor?
The doctor told me that since my pain only lasts for about 5-10 min that there wasnt anything i could take that would help the pain, are you saying that taking immodium every day would prevent this from happening. Ive only had it happen once since ive been pregnant and it was very early on. After the 5-10 min of severe pain, the area is just really sore and kinda swollen and i cant stand up straight for awhile after without pain or walk really so i just go lay down. I used to fall asleep on the bathroom floor afterwards because it would exhaust me and i was scared to move. I just wanted to know if i would feel the same with the sweats, neausea and dizziness with labor. Good to know its kinda similair to labor pains though.

I have been experiencing cheek flushing,blotches on my chest,acid integestion,nausea, and light headedness and dizziness. I am wondering if this is anxiety.

I often get nervous and upset.
1. Fast heart beat
2. Chest pain
3. Body shake
4. Dizziness
5. Unable to move the body(like my hand gets thick) for 30 min.

I often get this. What cause it? Also , Is this dangerous?
