When Do You Know Its Anxiety? Posted: 04-04-06 10:42am
Well I suffer alot of chest pains and
stomach pains and after some tests that
have come back as negative the doctors are
saying my chest pains are caused mostly by
anxiety.
I dont believe them. Its too much pain
and I feel im in danger and I also dont
feel anxious before they happen.
What did it take for you to accept that
anxiety is the cause of your pains? And
is there anything that can stop them pains
and control the anxiety? Are these pains
real? Or are my docs saying its my
imagination?
Hope someone can answer my q's I feel im
at a dead end.

My advice to you would be to read through
this forum and find out as much about
anxiety as you can.
Your pains are real, it is all because of
the way we breath when we have anxiety,
how tense our musles are and we don't even
realise it, etc
next time you are sitting watching tv or
reading a book take a moment to look over
your body and go through your body parts -
you will find that you are tense and
didn't even know it.
Once you have learnt all you can about
anxiety then you can realise that there
are millions of people out there feeling
the same as you. Then you can accept it
and then you can start to let your
symptoms do there worst because you know
they can not hurt you - they never have
and they never will.
A great book to get is "hope and help for
your nerves" by claire weekes, it helped
me out so much.
Also don't be scared to go on medication
until you can learn to manage your anxiety
yourself. We all need help sometimes and
that is what the meds are fo.
Take care and contact me anytime

Hello there if you have been to the
doctors had test after test and they have
come back fine well it sounds to me like
anxiety basically the easiet way to say it
is stress related .As I am a sufferer of
panic and anxiety it took me a few years
too realise and help my self with what
symptoms I was having which was blurred
vision, heart beating too fast,sweats,
dizziness and the list goes on basicly
your body is saying enough is enough.I
have to stop stressing and start to relax
more. Meditation and muscle relaxation is
a good remedy if you want to read more.Try
power over panic bronwyn fox book such a
great book...Tells you about stress
