hi everyone, i am new to this site, well, i've read a lot, but never wrote anything about myself. i started having panic attacks 3 years ago. i raced to the hospital, as i did numerous times after that until finally, after numerous tests, one dr. told me he wasn't going to do any tests on me because so many had already been done and i was a classic example of having panic disorder. within a 4-6 mo. time frame, i went to a ent dr, a thyroid dr, chiropractor, gen. prac., psych., insisted on cat scans. i totally felt like i was going insane, i had never had anything wrong w/me before. fortunately i have a sis in law who was a nurse and who also used to suffer from pa's who told me that you are hyper-sensitive to every little pain or feeling. FINALLY, someone who knew what i was going through! i called her many, many times for advice, and just someone to relate, since she told me about lots of symptoms i had that she did to that the dr.s didn't tell me about. my throat felt weird, i had a knot below my ear, my chest pain, headaches, tinglies, hot or cold rushes thru my body, etc, etc. thank god for her cuz my husband was an ass thru it all. he tells me to calm down...."oh, ok, is that all i have to do?"....nice.
anyway, i have since had twins who are almost a year old, and i am so afraid of dying. i have chest pains, even though i hardly ever have a panic attack anymore (thanks to paxil cr) i get headaches and think i have a brain tumor, or think my chest pains are heart related. we also have a 5 yr old son, i'm 38, not young, but not old, and am constantly feeling like something bad is going to happen to me, and i will leave my children w/o a mother.
fyi, this is hereditary, my dad has had pa's since 19 yrs old, and everyone thought he was a hypo condriac (sp?).
do any of you feel this way, doomed????
