Common Questions and Answers about Anxiety symptoms phobias
anxiety
Whenever she would leave me (to go to work, a store, etc) I would get anxiety. For me, anxiety always meant overwhelming nausea. As a toddler, you dont have the awareness yet to just say "okay, I am feeling anxious and that is why I am nauseous and shakey". I just associated the nausea with something horribly traumatic happening (my mom leaving). So in turn, I began to fear the nausea because whenever I had been nauseous, it meant my world was ending (my mom leaving).
Hi,
Anxiety disorder is a blanket term covering several different forms of abnormal, pathological anxiety, fears, and phobias. It describes nervous system disorders as irrational or illogical worry not based on fact.
Anxiety disorders are often debilitating chronic conditions, which can be present from an early age or begin suddenly after a triggering event. They are prone to flare up at times of high stress.Anxiety can be accompanied by headache, sweating, palpitations, and hypertension.
My husband has the following symptoms- difficulty breathing sometimes- gets very winded over nothing, difficulty swallowing, many phobias- water, planes, bridges, tunnels, can't sit in the middle of a room only the ends, only back of a movie theater. He will not step into a hospital even to visit people. He easily has nightmares. For example we just went to see the movie the Bucket List and as a hypocondriac he thinks maybe he has cancer and he can't sleep well.
Has anyone ever taken Tofranil PM or Anafranil for anxiety / panic and it worked my dr just told me start lowering my dose of prozac since its not doing anything and when i see her in 2 weeks we are going to discuss other options and other classes of meds like TCA 's SNRI's ect since SSRI's arent doing anything. I was on Tofranil before for post partum depression and anxiety panic and it worked great.
However, I have begun to wonder if the Astelin and/or Atenolol might be actually aggravating my anxiety symptoms and making me feel worse. For example, I was surprised to read that if you swallow it you are supposed to call the poison control center and that it may cause harm to your body. I had no idea about this and just assumed that because it is administered up the nose that a certain amount would run down the back of your throat and get swallowed.

Anxiety can show itself as health anxiety. I know, I've had it. You get really fixated on something health wise and are just SURE it's a problem. The reason I bring this up as you have tested and tests are negative. Inability to accept that is anxiety. Anxiety is treatable and I'd see a therapist about this. Really, it is your best way to overcome it. Guilt is powerful as well . But many feel guilty and don't continue to obsess over something like this.
I have the following symtoms: anxiety, panic disorder, phobias, depression, insomnia, visual auras, tired all the time, sexual disfunction.
What type of physician should I seek for help ? My doctor has tried various anti-depressants which may or may not help some symtoms for a while, then don't work.
Hello,
Your husband’s symptoms are suggestive of generalized anxiety disorder.It is characterized by excessive, uncontrollable and often irrational worry about everyday things.In this patients are overly concerned about everyday matters such as health issues, money, family problems, friend problems or work difficulties and so may show various physical symptoms.
Treatment includes cognitive behaviour therapy and antianxiety medicines.
I have a severe anxiety and depression during Hepatitis C treatment. My symptoms were shortness of breath, dizziness, I could not swallow, I could not talk, I didn't want to see anyone, I was not driving and much more. I felt save only in my bedroom. Thanks god I have very supportive family and great doctor. Few month past, but we steal searching for right combination of medications. My symptoms are MUCH better, I stated to drive, my panic attack are mostly under control.
I know this is probably very weird, but I am 16 years old, in high school, and death seems to always be on my mind. I know that should be the LAST thing I am thinking about right now!
I wasn't always this way, I think this started a little after I was recovering from my anxiety. It just feels like death is always around me and every little thing that feels wrong with me, I always relate to something serious.
I've dealt with anxiety for years and haven't had much success with medications to help. Tried Lexapro but it made panic attacks way worse. Tried Zoloft and loved how quickly it helped with depression but made my heart race by the end of the day. Now I'm dealing with not wanting to leave home, feeling dizzy while driving, can't go into grocery stores. These are new symptoms and scary. I have gone through a recent separation and move that I feel is what triggered new symptoms.
(real risks or perceived risks) develop quite a bit of worry about it, and sometimes that worry turns into an unhealthy anxiety, even phobias about HIV.
Medically speaking, HIV is actually a VERY hard virus to transmit. Most of the general population is not aware of this due to a lot of us having had "scare tactic" kind of education when we were younger.
Im a 28 yr old male and im curious if anyone has felt these symptoms before. Ive been dealing with anxiety for many years now and within the past couple of months I get a feeling like my heart isnt beating fast enough. I dont know if im holding my breath or what but when this happens if I breath more it seems to beat faster. Usually with anxiety I thought your heart rate rises but with me it seems to slow.
