hi, im corad86, dont feell like putting my name jus yet.
Ive had this for over 3 months now. It started one night where i couldnt stop thinking about my chest and my breathing, when i realized nearly an hour and a half had gone by adn i was still thinking about it, i was panicing. Before i knew it my pulse was on the fritz and i was constantly taking deep breaths, shifting positions, and scaring myslef with the thought that my breathing would grow so out of control, i would jus wear myslef out in my sleep. I must have slept three hours that night at most.
The anxiety didnt stop wiht my breathing. For two stragith weeks it lasted, and althought at times i would feel much better than others, there were some moments when i literally began to feel lightheaded, dizzy, achy and soar, and even terribly stricken wiht chest pains that i wake up wiht but come and go throughout the day. My symptons of anxiety progressed on to new things. Sometimes i would constantly feel like i had to pee or even after i did use the bathroom, i would still feel somewhat aware of my bladder. I guess u can call it a nervous bladder, sorta like how i used to have to pee before a nerve wracking cross country race, or before a big test, or my road test. This was only different in that the feeling reely never subsided too much. AFter that i began to shift my focus to yet other parts of my body, not even aware that i was doing this before i felt it happen. Sometimes this was in my eyes, where they would feel heavy and i was constantly squinting or blinking like somehow i was overly aware of my own eyes (call that wierd i think its ridiculous explaining it). Lately ive been feeling like i ahve to dry swallow constantly. Its a weird feeling, but its definitley from this anxiety, where even if im talking to someone, if the thought crosses my mind that i hvent swallowed my throat in a little while, then suddenly i can barely even talk until i do it again. Soemtimes i feel like there is a knot in my throat adn when i keep swallowing so much i even feel like it begins to hurt, yet i feel like this is all mental because if i do forget about it very briefly while doing something entertaining, the pain will have subsided more when i remember it again.
I need to know why im going through this obsession, and if any of u have felt similar symptoms from anxiety of if anyone could tell me what this could be.
