hi all,
i use to get anxiety attacks that i was able to talk myself out of but it seems every yr it gets harder and harder. i just tried celexa for a week, and i couldnt get past the side effects i have to call my dr. tomorrow and tell him i went off it. i had a headache for three days, i felt i could count my heartbeats just by sitting still, felt at times it was even skipping a beat (thats y i stopped it). Now its getting harder in my mind to distinguish anxiety or heart attack, i feel anxiety everyday, pain (tightness) in chest, arm, pores opening bigger then the grand canyon coming and going depending on my mind set or time of day. if i dont think about it im fine for a couple of hours, soon as something enters my mind i could feel my heart wanting to take off.......... i have ativan, but i dont want to take it everyday, but im feeling i should already. anyone else feel this way? what are some of the anxiety symptoms u have? it seems my anxiety level starts in november on low, then by end of jan., feb, its on high and i cant shake it till end of march for the last 3 yrs....... (weird) i hate to call my doc and say i think im having a heart attack again this year :) i just had an ekg in nov., it was negative any input? experiences? would be appreciated thanks much
