Hi everyone, im a 21 year old year old female who is suffering from symptoms that are really bothering me.. It started about a month ago where out of no where i felt like i couldnt breathe properly and it just got worse since then.. My symptoms are: tightness in neck and throat, fast heart beats even when lying down in bed, breathing difficulties, sweaty palms, sore throat when i breathe in, sometimes i get chest pains, tired most of the time, stomach pain, nausea, diarhhea, panic, loss of appetite, feeling sad/ scared.. I've been to the doctor and had an ecg done it came out fine, checked out my stomach and the doctor said the pain could be from not eating right.. My mom suffered from anxiety, so i dont know if i could be suffering from the same thing.. I dont want to do anything anymore and i hate what is happening to me it's bringing me down a lot.. Please help

Carolsuz answered Thursday June 7 2012, 5:22 am: All of your symptoms could be from anxiety and with anxiety comes panic attacks. Panic attacks can effect people in many different ways and two of the main effects are actually chest pain and shortness of breathe. I would also suggest speaking to your doctor about getting an antidepressant, there are certain ones that will help prevent anxiety attacks and a lot more. Often enough we need antidepressants to handle chemical imbalances and just remember that none of it is your fault it just seems to be a natural problem that people have.
