How to stop being scared of sleeping over?

PLEASE READ/HELP. I AM SCARED/WORRIED?

  • I am very scared/worried about my health right now. It all started when I had 2 panic attacks in Oct 2011 and went in to the ER for chest pain and they did an EKG and took a picture of my chest(I believe it was radiology) and everything was normal. The ER doctor told me its anxiety, and since then everything has gone downhill. My BP is my main concern it fluctuates constantly. My school doctor told me that it could be a life threatening tumor called pheochromocytoma and I could have Bipolar 2 and that the tumor is extremely rare but he doesnt think I have either. I am 22 years old. I dont feel like I have anxiety. I just feel calm but my BP isnt normal. I have sleep problems. I am just scared about all of this. Before all anxiety and my BP was normal range. My blood pressure fluctuations are pretty high. Like 138/80, 135/85, 150/91 and once it hit 155/97(but I never got that again as I can remember) My primary doc (not school) isnt too worried about it and says I am healthy but I think he still doesn't know why my BP is kind of high, I sometimes doubt that he might not know what going on and I feel paranoid. My school doc says that I just need to find a way to calm down and relax, she gave me zoloft but I am too scared to take it because of the tumor scare but sometimes I think she made an accurate diagnosis which kind of worries me and scares me and I cannot stop thinking about it. I was sleeping some what ok after the attack, until mid-march I suffered a huge panic attack/scare while looking up symptoms of my GERD about esophagus cancer (I think). My head felt hot and felt like something was leaking out from it and I had a burning sensation in my chest. After that my head was clouded up and I would get chest pains and then I had digestive problems. I started taking this herbal medication for about 3 weeks and I started to feel better so I stopped taking it when my head cleared up it helped my sleep a little bit. My body has completely changed from the inside. Sometimes I get random chest pains too , but I still don't feel "anxiety" or maybe anxiety has soaked into my body that I just don't "feel" it anymore. I wake up sometimes with my heart rate racing and feel shaky. I just feel like there's something wrong with me but I am scared. I also have GERD but lately I haven't felt it as much due to my appetite changing and no heart burn feeling. I experience burning type chest pains. I experienced hand tremors and I still have them time to time. I sometimes shake from my hands when holding a cell phone or sometimes laying my hands out. I am just scared about that tumor because its one of the many symptoms of the tumor. When ever I eat, I do not feel fullness. I do not have normal bowel movements. I am having sleep problems such as insomnia at times and unrefreshed sleep. In the past I have had problems sleeping where I would snore loudly and get up catching my breath so thats why my doctor requested a sleep study. I sleep on my side now but that issue has gotten better but I am still experiencing not good sleep. Also, I wake up a little earlier than usually sometimes when I used to before all of this anxiety. Also, no thyroid/diabetes problem. Sometimes I just dont feel like myself like I used to, I feel light headed at times and feel like im not inside myself. I am worried can this be anxiety related? or something serious? Anybody else experiencing this? I am just scared that how can something bad come from anxiety? How can my BP just change like that when I used to have NORMAL BP. Its making me scared. I have been experiencing weird symptoms that I have never experienced before... I just want my life back...I cant focus in school/life and I have trouble sleeping at night. The weird thing is that I feel calm, and NOT anxious but yet, I still do not feel right and my BP isn't normal. Could it be the amount of stress in my body? I am scared to go back to the doctor for my follow up. What sometimes worries me is that when I am calm I am where did the anxiety symptoms go when I have anxiety? And when I go check my BP while calm its high? All of this is just over whelming me. And everytime I hold something in my hand its shaky. Only thing that runs through my mind is I have something life threatening. I am just so scared...My body feels calm its just i DON'T KNOW why my BP is a little high and hand tremors.I also get random headaches and random chest burning pains. I am just worried, and I want to get my life back and go back to normal health and normal self. I cant focus in school and I am failing all my classes and I cannot enjoy the things I used to do. I just want my life back before all of this anxiety started to happen but I cant thinking about something is wrong with me. I feel like my body seems calm. I sometimes feel like the doctor is overlooking some of my symptoms or isnt giving me a straight answer.... My main concern right now is: Appe

  • Answer:

    Panic attacks can be a sign of depression. Having said that you need to find something to calm yourself. Since you have Zoloft take as prescribed for at least 2-3 weeks. This is a medication that takes time to work. You are overwhelmed. Sit by a body of water, go for a slow walk, if you find a pretty place sit down and enjoy it. Also listen to music. Walking is calming even if you have to fight with yourself to get started. Good Luck

You don't listen that is the deal here. And blood pressure does fluxulate during the day and especially if your drinking too much caffeine or those energy drinks. So don't. Eat healthy. You need to get spiritual and Open your heart in pray to Jesus. seriously. I like Mother Theresa of Calcutta short novena found online, called "Jesus My all in all"and google Matt Maher song, "Remembrance You should continue your health quest but be sure to listen to your doctors. I say you have a hypochondriac mind here. Also volunteer and be a blessing to others, this will take your mind off yourself and you will sleep better at night. Lastly join a christian youth group and meet faith filled kids.

You could have something seriously wrong but this whole question seems obvious to me. You were diagnosed as having anxiety problems and them you go and try to diagnose yourself with all these life threatening terminal diseases which therefore create more anxiety? My advice: stop trying to diagnose yourself and seek an expert, you're only making it worse for yourself. My girlfriend has anxiety issues and I can't relate personally but from my understanding anxiety can make you feel like you're going to due or having a hearty attack so this is more than likely you're issue. I mean just look at the question you asked the whole time you talk about your fears of having this addend that and scared that you just don't know etc. You have anxiety, if anything else trust a doctors opinion. Allot of people are unreliable and clueless but can be convincing. Heck if you don't believe me just go on the internet and see what people believe.
