Boy having constant anxiety makes it really tough to determin weather or not your haveing anxiety chest pain or real heart chest pain. It's quite a scary thing.
I'm all for going natural whenever I have that "disturbed" feeling. I listen to music, exercise- eat some comfort food and all. A friend who's suffering from the same issues too shared a site with tips on all going natural- this is not spam. Again, it's just a personal tip. No harm if you try coz like I said, I have avoided any sort of medications too.

Hi, I'm an 18 year old male, 200lbs at 5'11, pretty healthy for the most part and I have had constant symptoms of anxiety, myself, for almost 3 years. I don't know what to do. My mom doesn't want to take me to the doctor though I think I should see a neurologist for my constant fatigue and muscle twitches. I worry ALL the time that I have some horrible disease, yet after 3 years, nothing bad has happened. And if anything has gotten worse, it isn't noticeable. I don't think I have anything wrong. My entire body feels like a stiff muscle, I've had dark circles under my eyes ever since the anxiety started, i get poor sleep, I get muscle twitches all over, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, I've had a panic attack, my head feels completely congested, my jaw stiff, blood work came back normal, as did an MRI from about a year and a half to 2 years ago. Urinary analysis was normal, I just have no idea what's wrong. I get depressed a lot, I have little energy to do daily activities, but I still manage to pull through, I usually end up worrying myself to the point that I exhibit symptoms of a disease (ALS is the latest fright for me) and I don't know what to do. I feel like I have little to no emotional support and I just want some peace of mind :/ I'm really scared about my future, and I don't know what I can possibly do to help myself. I'm on no meds. I've tried Klonopin, Xanax, Luvox, and Lexapro, but Xanax is the only one that worked at all (go figure) but my mom took me off of that when I told her it made me feel a little loopy. I was on 5 mg at the time...not a lot at all. I just need some reassurance that nothing is wrong. I'm really scared. Everyone tells me to just get over it and get up and do something active, but I just can't muster up the energy. I get kind of dizzy easily, side-tracked easily, I always feel tired, some PLEASE help!!!! :-(
Hello,
I have this same problem. I usually go in and out of periods of time where the anxiety is 24/7 and everyday life is just too much to bare. The rest of the time I have constant panic attacks...but I usually have a few times throughout the day where I feel a little at peace. I worry and stress over everything, every situation, even other peoples situations. I am agoraphobic. I still leave my house to go to my job, ten minutes away, and am usually fairly comfortable going about 10 minutes away in any direction from my house. Its like my body has a sensor, and after about 10 minutes driving it sends an alarm, don't even think about it! you are going to far!
I have been struggling against my anxiety disorder and agoraphobia for about 5 years now. I have been on ever medication in the book. Right now I am going through one of the periods where I am having constant dibilitating anxiety. I just don't know how to handle it. I just started going to another therapist last week. Of course, like all the others, they recommend you to 5 other people and say they can't help. I've tried getting help from my doctor, she just recommends more medications but then says there is nothing else she can do to help. I have tried many self help books, cds. I just feel like I'm in way to deep and can't get out and that I am just going to completely loose it. I also have a serious fear of death-as I read about someone else posting above. I can't stop obsessing about it and wake up in the middle of the night with panic attacks and imagining myself on my death bed. The worst thing is when you are afraid of life and you are afraid of death. I am going to look into the "adrenal gland disorder" and "neurological testing" as mentioned in another post. I know that a lot of anxiety disorder is to do with your thought pattern and having to retrain your mind to think properly. The problem is how to do that? I do feel like this is more then a mental problem-and is also a physical problem. I wish there were more clinics and resources available to people like us. I feel like when it comes to mental disorders we are always pushed to the background. I think of my disorder the same as cancer, it just grows and grows and kills you slowly. (not to be too depressing-sorry) does anyone have any suggestions on how to cope when a panic attack does hit?

Man if what i have is constant anxiety then it sucks. what worried me the most was that the symptoms would keep on going non stop. sometimes i wouldnt feel worried but i would feel the symptoms. it started with a faint feeling at the begginig and now is to the point where i am always dizzy and sometimes it feels like i am fainting, i feel my ears ringing and as if electricity is going through my body. it is very annoying to feel like this almost everyday. i feel tired all the time and the fainting feeling drives me crazy. ive ran to the ER three times and all the test were negative. i hate it that i even feel symptoms when i am trying to relax. i feel as if something weird is happening to me. i hate the feeling.................carlos
You could request from your Doctor Diazepam but if it's so bad like mine is atm, Lorazepam which is supposed to be equivalent to fifteen Diazepam.
You must talk with your doctor about the difficulty you are facing may be its a Obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is a mental disturbance manifested through acting repetitively a set of actions brought about by mental images or compulsions. It is primarily linked to an unresolved anxiety that confronts the patient. Only your doctor will guide you about the treatment. ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** web

Its demons, they cause this things anxiety, panic attacks,these are dark forces from hell!Only praying to Jesus an giving his heart to Him will relieve you of this for good its a true deliverance, not like stupid antidepressants., maybe not at once but definetely Jesus is the only power who can defeat these demonic attacks for good.I have been there I know it sounds strange but It is true.Also, because these demons are so afraid of Jesus they wil probably do everything to keep you away from praying and seeking Jesus and God, so anxiety may get worse for some time before you really decide to pray and seek Jesus.The panic attacks and anxieties are demonic forces which want your soul and make you miserable and there is only one power to defeat them Jesus.If you tried everything and nothing helps try iz I promisse it will help but seek God with your whole heart!

I am now 19 years old, 185lbs healthier than ever with no anxiety problems besides getting a bit jittery when nervous or excited. My other issues with anxiety have gone dormant. It had nothing to do with me "finding Jesus", since I had done that far before. I cut out stress in my life by not going on with College after high school, I got a job, I'm a professional musician, I'm living a dream now. Anxiety can be fixed by the right medication if need be. I got rid of mine by reducing stress and getting myself in a good mindset. Hope you are all doing well, and i hope that your issues with anxiety have begun to subside as well.

I had my first panick attack in Dec. 2007, while on the massage table!!! I layed there begging God to not let me die too embarassed to speak up and tell the massage therapist what I was going thru. I had so much adrenaline rushing thru me that I literally could not feel the normally deep painful massage!
I have had 5 actual panick attacks since then but live in a constant anxious state worrying about why I feel this way...
Naturally I just "KNOW" something is wrong with me and keep trying to find a diagnosis on the web...the only thing I have come across is "Adrenal Gland Disorder", I have an appt. to see a Dr. to get tested... In the mean time, I have been trying to do 30 min. of cardio exercise as many days as I can, I take Buspar and "herbal remedies": 5HTP, Melatonin, Anti-Ace., and read Psalm 142 and 143 (the Bible).

Im sure alot of what ill say has been posted already, but I also have constant anxiety. Ive been sufferring from anxiety and panic in a more constant basis since 2004 but can remember times in school when the class went quiet and i suddenly felt dizzy and ill from at least 10 years before that. At the time i didnt know what was going on with me but i do now. At this stage, i wake up and within 5 mins im anxious. Im anxious all day and hoping not to get a panic attack and then go to bed anxious. Dont leave the house unless i have to, if im queuing at a shop, may have to leave the queue many times pretending that im looking for something but actually im trying to calm myself etc. Simply tho, I had this for a few years before I told anyone and seeked any help. This, im convinced is why its so bad now, i left it too late. I was too embarrassed to admit to it earlier but would trade more than you can believe to go back. If you have it, ya dont have to tell your family and friends (altho from my experience they do understand so you should) but definately go to your doctor. It can consume you, it has to me, but cant help feeling and pretty much knowing if i addressed it sooner, it would be alot different.
Yes....it feels like I too have constant anxiety. It'sl like being on fire whenever I'm awake......not pleasant. Like I'm bracing myself for something hideous to happen near me but don't know what it mght be.....when I was drinking, the pain went away temporarily but came back worseb-band will added guilt.....I guess talking about it to loved ones and professional helps.......excercise......sleep......being distracted........
I'm not sure how you would describe it in my case, but I have felt under CONSTANT anxiety since 1999! There hasn't a day gone buy where I have felt at ease with myself. I have disturbed sleep every single night (if you can call it sleep!). It has turned me into a virtual recluse - a jibbering wreck who before could run an entire squadron - now cannot even decide what colour socks to wear! (which is why I buy only white socks!).
I tell you, I would have been far better off if I had been killed in action - at least I would have gotten sympathy from people!

I know your pain. I feel for you. Trust me. People do not understand mental pain because you can't see it, but I believe it is one of the most horrible disorders you can have. I have been suffering with severe anxiety and agoraphobia for many years, but I am now getting better, because I decided to CHANGE my mind. I just wanted to tell you that I read your comment about being killed in action. It made me very sad to read that. You may be in pain, but our pain is not permanant. It can be fixed, and you can fix it. Once you are dead, you are dead forever. You get one chance at life. One time to experience it, and then its over. Don't waste it. This is what made me determined to get better.. to "change my mind"...you don't HAVE to be this way. Realize that everyday is a gift. Go outside and look at the sunshine. Don't sit in misery and pitty yourself (which is what I did) it only hurts you. You are the only one that can fix you and you are the only one that will ultimately make you happy. You have to realize this, and then run with it. One of my most difficult tasks is that I am so used to having constant anxiety and panic attacks that I don't remember what its like to not have them and be "normal".(which is probably how you feel since you have dealt with this for a long time) But this is not who I am, this is a very small part of me (you have to try to remember that its not ALL of you) and you have so much more to offer. And don't be so hard on yourself. I also wanted to say, that if you were in the military, which is what I am gathering from what you said....Thank You.
