Hi, I have similar issues... I think you could have a couple of things, but may be some Congestion in your Chest. (Robbitussin is good for that, but makes it worse at first them better after 2-3 days use.)
Could also be a touch of anxiety.
(I over-think everything, too)
I have found the best way to fight "over-thinking" about one thing is to get really Busy on something else. If it happens in the middle of the night, get up or turn on the TV to something that is pretty boring and try to concentrate on that... Or turn it to something that you can tolerate and try to focus on what they are saying, maybe while already laying down in a Dark room, under covers with everything secure for Bedtime and just put the Sleep Timer on on your TV. If that doesn't help, pick up a Book and try to read... anything to just refocus your thoughts long enough to get calm and rest. Hope that helps  |

ur not alone! im a 22 F and i struggle with similar issues. at the moment im under a lot of pressure in college and some members of my family have died recently. i think i start focusing in on myself when i need to control something. this past week i thawt i had throat cancer, tongue cancer and something wrong with my heart. sleep isnt an issue with em tho. if i feel like my brain wont stop i tell myself t park my thoughts outside my room and that ill deal iwth them in the morning...i know sounds kinda ridiculous...but it works for me.
sounds like u have a bad case of the 'what ifs' too. i do that a lot. but i have to tell myself that worrying isnt going to change anyting that may or may not happen all it will do is make me paranoid. u cant help what happens in life to a certain point but u can choose what t think about, its one of teh only things we can control.
hope that helps. |

So any little pain near my chest I freak out! can someone help calm my nerves...also used to have panic attacks real bad about 13 years ago...and if you read all the different medicine journals they will drive you crazy!![/b] |

I know exactly how you feel.I have been like that for years.I think i have all these different diseases and worry about my health constantly which is crazy because i aint given up smoking yet.Just now i have terrible throat pain which radiates into my chest which makes me think i may have throat cancer or something wrong with my heart or lungs.I have been under alot of stress lately and everyone keeps telling me that these symptoms are stress related.I wish i could convince myself of that.I am fed up living like this where i worry constantly everyday.My mind works overtime.  |

Hey, I'm having the same problem.
Two weeks ago I had chest pain one evening and it happened two more times up to today's date. I was convinced I was having heart problems and almost burst into tears worrying that I could have a heart attack. After talking to someone else on this board, I've realised that it could just be gas preassure (I hope!) but I've been thinking about it every day for two weeks now.
I have a case of the "what ifs" and obsessively worrying about my health (I'm stopping drinking my favourite drink in favour for a sugerless one)
I hardly eat veg and I worry everyday that that will make me ill one day. |

| I have similar experience. That is anxiety. To much brain function do that. The body react like something is wrong and release adrenaline and castriol - stress hormones. Read "Power of now" - Eckhart Tolle it's very helpful book. |

I am a 21 year old M that has that has been struggling for almost a year now. I have this weird but sharp pain in the middle of my chest that hurts even more when I take a deep breath. My throat is often "tight" feeling and is sore on occasion. I have been in and out of the doctor and have racked up some hefty bills with no solution. I have told the doctor I feel anxiety and he just started me on xanax but very low doses. It seems to help calm down a bit but it has not completely solved my pain.
As far as anxiety goes, I am an obsessive thinker that doesn't stop thinking all day long. I feel like my brain is running in over drive and I often toss and turn all night long until my alarm clock goes off and I end up not sleeping before going to work. I worry about health constantly and feel like i have every disease there is. I worry about problems that will never happen. AN example was last night, when laying in bed I was thinking about surfing in California since I am moving there in 3 monthes. All I thought about was this for an hour and by the end of it all I could think about was getting stuck under the board and not being able to get air. Talk about a waste of thinking and time!!!
I would like to hear from anyone especially people that have the same types of problems. |
I am exactally like you describe, although I haven't found any sort of solution yet, its anoying in it lol. |

You idiot, weed is a common cause of anxiety, worst idea to combat it. Imagine someone with anxiety problems having a whitey. They may turn to suicide! |
