I started with anxiety last fall, got meds
etc, went to counselling this spring and
have been feeling great for the past
month. Then all of a sudden it started
feeling tense again and could feel the
anxiety coming back. I decided to start
doing more physical exercise to help
lessen the anxiety, however, it has back
fired. I started doing the learn to run
5km, commencing slowly with run 1min walk
1min 6-8times every other day. After the
second run day I started feeling a pain in
the left side of my chest when I inhaled.
Of course my anxiety ridden mind started
racing and again I started checking my
breathing and paying very much attention
to the pain. I am very sure that it is a
muscle ache (i have had several chest
x-rays, ecg (spelling???), blood tests etc
in the past 6 months - all are clear).
I have a doctors appointment on friday and
will discuss with her then. I just wish I
wouldn't always jump to conclusions and
imagine the worst. I have to not look
things up online as that does nothing to
calm my mind.
I am still on meds but was starting wean
off. Was on celexa 20mg, have slowly over
3 weeks weaned down to 10mg/day.
Thanks for letting me share

Hope you feel better I have just started
down the road of anxiety it seems. I
guess I had mild attacks here n there
before and just always played them off.
In the past couple weeks I just started
feeling light headed alot and that
stressed mi out and my throat had been
sore off and on for the past few months.
And I have to agree with you this sucks.
Not on any medication yet as my Dr. And
I are trying to see if any of my physical
symtems can be treated first (throat could
be acid reflux) blood pressure is a
little high. Unfortunately its been
over a week and I am still having bouts of
feeling lightheaded and also just feeling
like I am unable to deal with people cause
I feel stessed. My chest feels tight.
Over all I have a feeling like I have to
get out of here.
