For the past 6 months now, I have had a hard time dealing with this crap. Started out in June one day when I started feeling really lightheaded, felt like I was going to faint, my heart was just pounding, my breath was really short, nausea, tingling everywhere. I thought for sure I was having a heart attack. I called 911 and went to the ER. Ran a bunch of tests, everything is fine. Happens again 3 days later and I go back to a different ER. Same thing, everything is fine. Even MRI of my brain, multiple EKG tests, and extensive blood tests. I am healthy.
I've now seen 4 different doctors and I was determined that something was physically wrong with me. I started thinking I had some sort of cancer, or another terminal illness. I started researching and my symptoms kept coming up with anxiety and panic attacks. I just brushed it off because I always felt that anxiety is nonsense, and its just a weakness, not a real medical condition. Let me tell you, it is real and it is awful.
I am at my wit's end with this stuff. Doctors have prescribed these SSRI pills, but I am scared to take them to be honest. I have been drinking a lot more now, because that is the only thing that works. Has anyone else experienced this before?
