well these are my symtoms, ive been reading up here and i am 100% certain i have agoraphobia. i went to a phsycologist and he gave me paxil and it didnt do much, it made me feel weird.

------symtoms-----------

-anxious

-head pressure like a painless vise on the sides (this has gotten worste lately cause i started college, and im under pressure, and its been really hot, and to top it off my college campus is at a high elevation (ohlone college, fremont ,ca)

-brain zaps

- seings weird blotches sometimes

-thinking im dying from a brain tumor or something, anything i can apply to the symptoms im having

-aches sometimes in the legs, other weird places

- tightness of the chest

-hyperventilation

-overanalyzing,

-weird head feeling when im driving

-eye pressure sometimes, left eye, when im super anxious

-neck muscle tension and jaw

-if i get up too fast i get a huge headrush

please i need help i need someone to re affirm that i have this,

heres how it started

since i was small i always thought too much

to make a long story short i was going under extreme pressure in high school, i had mild depression and never seeked help, and my final resort was some doja. I liked it, but after the 6th time smoking it i had a panic attack because i smoked so much (10 hits ) on a bong.

i thought i was dying, i thought i ws having a stroke, annurism, and aheart attack at the same time, specially cause my mom had an annurism.

3 days later i got another atttack and i got sent to the hospital, they did a heart scan and found nothing, i was healthy.

i went to a phsychologist and all he did was give me meds and talked about my childhood Evil or Very Mad

first the first 4-7 months i would just get attakcs, then for a time i actually got better to the point to where i was gettin good sleep,only felt like 2 symtoms, then as asoon as school started i got horrible again

PLEASE HELP
PLEASE!! im not sick am i???

I hit the gonja about 10 times after never doing any drug for over 30 years of life. I regret it. I left the symptoms you have that I have, above. I also have or have had these --- a fear of water, breathing problems/phobia, worrying about loved one's health who are ill, my own health, waking up from short sleep and having a mild anxiety feeling for several minutes. I am gay in a very anti gay world, that doesn't help! I also am Christian, that makes it worse (in coping with ignorance, the faith part of it helps), and I had an inital onset about a year and a half ago, and the feeling crazy, attacks that happen every few weeks, and worries kept coming for months, I went on then off medication (see my other posts for further details), but I'd been pretty good for about 10 months, then today I had a moderate anxiety feeling, without that huge attack of "I'm going nuts, help", thank God, but this isn't fun either, being up early w/only 3 hrs sleep and feeling this way.

Just let yourself know, as I have, that we are complex creations, we deal with sooooooo much in life. Try and reduce your stress in fun, who-cares if I look silly ways, and if that doesn't work, reduce stressful situations that you feel you must be near at this time.

You are special, and yeah, I know about thinking too much, it sux, huh? Smile

I hope you feel better. I hope I get some sleep. Feeling this way after about 10 months isn't fun. I am just thankful it's not horrible. And I gotta tell myself - "I'm safe, it will get better, relax, relax!"

peace.

like, does this sound normal?

if feels like my sinuses are bloated and im sick right now, i think a cold, and like whenever i cough it feels like theres a vise crushing my head it scares me alot cause it makes me think something is wrong with my brain

its mostly by my nose,left cheek, ear, and neck
it sucks!!!

i also get muscle tension like by the armpit/chest area on my left side, it feels tight all the time

sorry its just it gets to me sometimes

and sometimes or shal i say most of the time theres like turbulence in my head i dont know if i imagine it

I understand some of this. anxiety, the head-vice thing, tightness in the chest, hyperventilating, overanylizing, muscle tensions, the headrushes... I get all that stuff. I don't think I'm agoraphobic, exactly... I don't mind going outside... but I have big anxiety issues when it comes to being around people, and some depression. Those are some of the things I go through after going through something hard for me (like grocery shopping, or dealing with authority figures). I also tend to feel ill- sick stomach, general exhaustion, that kind of thing. You're at least as normal as me (which may not be saying much, lol).
