Q: Help Me Please..

I've been dealing with anxiety for a bout a year now. It comes and goes , but when it comes, it's really bad. It keeps me in my house and sometimes i'm afraid to go out. I'd get dizzy, feel nauseated..Have trouble breathing..You know..Panic attacks. It all started when I started having chest pains, which I don't think were caused by anxiety, but another health issue that led to my anxiety. My doc said I have acid reflux, but since it started I keep thinking its really my heart because I would feel pain in my upper left chest..Sometimes I think she's got it wrong. Ever since then I have days where I just feel unhealthy and just think im gonna die soon.
I know this sounds crazy..But..I don't know how to get rid of it.

It really effects my lifestyle..


Sometimes so much that it makes me sick and tired of dealing with it that I feel so helpless..I don't know what to do. I've talked to a phsychologist already...And she's helped..

It usually goes away after I talk to her..But random times, it starts up again...

Has anyone conquered a similar situation?

I need advice!

Hello!

I also had a stomach problem that was caused by my anxiety....They thought it was acid reflux - they ended up diagnosing me with something stomach-wise, but when I got my anxiety under control, it went away.

I have a feeling that when you feel fine, you start worrying about your symptoms which causes panick which causes the symptoms. Get a second opinion if you need, or else just tell yourself it's because of your anxiety.
