For the past three months I have not been feeling well, my head goes foggy and heavy, I get random dumbness in my arms and legs, I have been getting migranes with which I have never had before. I stress myself out about it to the point that I start getting panic attacks. Everyone tells me its stress, and anxiety... and I agree but I know that its brought on from not feeling right. I almost feel as though I am high, and when I give myself a panic attack over it, it intensifies...but when the panic attack is over the symptoms don't go away. I also get alot of other symptoms, horrible feeling in my chest...today i felt like something was tearing in my breast but then it would go away and come back...I relate the random feeling I get to anxiety, because they change all the time...but my head just isn't right... It is makeing me become a Hypochondriac, and I keep thinking im gonna flop over from a brain aneurism.
I went to the hospital and they did and ecg which came back normal, my blood pressure is fine and they checked me for a blood clot because I feared that the birth control pills I started taking in the recent did it to me. I went to the doctor and told him about it, but when i brought up the anxiety i get from it, he wrote me a prescription for APO-Citalopram an anxiety pill and told me to come back in a month and if it didnt calm things down he would do tests. He didn't even check me for anything else.
I went to the chiropracter and he said I had a rib out and many other spots in my back and neck that is trapping my nerves...Im hoping that in the next couple weeks he will be able to clear that up...but im so scared it is something else.
Should I wait the month before going to the doctor?? or should i demand tests now. I have been under stress, wedding planning, my dad had a heart attack,house hunting, quiting and starting a new job, hateing a job etc...could all this be something I am manifesting?
I feel like my body is telling me something is wrong. The thing that scares me the most is the foggy head!
What do I do? Im scared

I think the first thing you should do is try to relax! Go to a day spa!
It sounds like you're very stressed out and worried about a lot of things lately. The brain is a very powerful thing, and can cause you to have pains in places just by worrying about them. Go to an osteopath or a qualified massage therapist and see if it helps to release any trapped nerves or whatnot in your back and neck. I wouldn't go to a chiropractor unless you've had an xray or something done, just in case. If you still keep having problems, look at getting an MRI on your head and neck done, it might show up something, and if it doesn't you can stop worrying.
Hope everything works out for you.

Hi! I have been going through the same sortof things lately! I went to the DR and they wrote me a citalopram prescrip too, I didn't take it bc I didn't feel like that was a real answer and I am more into the natural remedies. Try something called Sam-e, it is like an all natural anti depressant with no side effects. You can't mix it other anti dep. prescrip's so read all the facts abt it. Also, I would only buy the vitamin shoppe brand (it has less of the GI tract side effect issues you will read abt, nothing major don't worry). This can help with anxiety and depression symptoms. A Chiropractor is a great idea. Go to a reputable one that will do x-rays first, they will help you to get your body where it should be and this could stop the odd symptoms you are having. You could be out of alignment which causes nerves and organs to be pushed or pulled in directions they don't belong which can give you issues. Try adding in a daily vitamin, some light exercise such as walking and a well balanced diet. I have also been told if you can talk yourself into a negative state you call talk yourself out...which is currently what I am trying to do. An MRI may not be a bad idea either for peace of mind! Hope this all helps and don't feel like you are alone! I am in the same exact boat! Just trying to take it day by day and manage the stress and anxiety , it can really do some odd things to you.
