Health Anxiety: Panic Attack -- I thought I was going to die!

Where have I been for the last 2 months? Recovering from the worst panic attack! I was dead certain that I wasn't going to make it out alive.
Anxiety is a horrible, HORRIBLE affliction to have to live with! In this video I want to share my experience, and more so, make it very clear how important it is to seek treatment for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and panic attacks/disorder.

After almost 3 years of unbearable anxiety, I finally sought treatment through a health professional. Fortunately, and unfortunately, I'm medicated now. I think it's finally starting to help, and hopefully I'm closer than ever to getting back on track with this channel. I missed posting videos so much!!

The dizziness sucks, and so does the body shakes.. And the fear of dying, and the about to pass out feeling sucks also.

Thank you for sharing. I’ve been experiencing health anxiety for 3 years with no relief. My symptoms change constantly which keeps me in this constant loop of feeling like I’m dying. It’s so exhausting

Thank you SO much for this video. I've had health anxiety for two years. It all started when I started working at a hospital, at a neuro department. Didn't take me long to start thinking I had all different kind of neurological problems. I feel trapped in my own brain (sorry, English isn't my mother language). Tonight I started having a really bad anxiety panic attack. I found your video, and just listening to it I could feel the panic attack going away. So thank you! Talking about this topic is so important.

I’ve been dealing with this for half a year now. It’s the most debilitating thing ever. When you have weeks of being ‘okay’, or thinking you are anyway you forget how bad it is when it’s bad. Then it means you downplay it and think it’ll just go. It’s horrible, your brain tricks you into thinking you’re having constant heart attacks or like you’re gonna die. I hate it. But we all can beat it.

Thanks for posting this I have a condition called costochondritis which mimics a heart attack. Everyday day any pain or twinge I get in chest area and I go into a panic attack fast heart rate etc it's a daily struggle

Does anyone feel like they have pressure on their head almost like numbness?

I've been having these "episodes" my entire life. Wasn't bad as a kid but they've come on really strong over the last couple decades. Had a couple today. They even happen when I'm sleeping. Nothing I've tried has helped. Diet, meds, sleep, exercise, etc. I got the lingering thing too. I'm stuck between two attacks

I've had severe health anxiety ever since I went into hospital for High Blood Pressure. I am obese and I started doing 24 to 48 hours fasting weekly depending on my mode. I go to the gym 5 days a week and I have lost 39 lbs(18kg) in about 2 and the half months. People are asking me if I am sick and it is depressing me and making my health anxiety worst with the feeling something is wrong and that's why i am losing much weight at a fast pace even thou i know I am putting in the work. I am still obese and want to lost more weight but the comments I am getting about being sick is discouraging me to continue and making my anxiety worst, when it was getting better.

I know exactly what you went through… I went through the exact same thing. I ended up in the ER and could barely move. After tests and scans the ER doctor said I was suffering a panic attack. Since then I’ve yet to get back to being normal. Now I always feel it’s going to happen again and I feel like every time is gonna kill me. Hope your doing well.

Just found your channel man. Quit dip cold turkey about a month and a half ago, had the shortness of breathe/heart symptoms when I was just on pouches back in July. Kept going and just knew I had to stop when I had a significant panic attack in September. It’s an everyday battle and I’m looking into meds. Keep fighting and keep up the content!

[kevinhagan]

You described me exactly. Good luck bud!

I have an extreme anxiety around specifically bleeding. I've been thinking for about 12 months that this irrational anxiety is out of control and it's time for medication. I work so much to distract myself I am physically and mentally exhausted, I can't tell you how tired I am. I would love a single day to do nothing or even be outside of my busy routine of staving of anxiety and panic over noting to just be still. It's time.. Its definitely time.

I can’t even tell if I’m dying or it’s just illness anxiety… really hoping I’m going to be alive in a few months and I’ll be able to live my life.
I’m hoping it’s because I lost my dad to cancer a few years ago, but I’m uncertain.

[lukegriffin]

I’m going through the same thing I’ve had bloods done, ecg, and a chest X-ray to see what was going on everything came back fine but I’m scared there’s a undetected blood clot in my lung because i haven’t been able to breathe probably all day everyday all week and I’m getting pain in legs, chest back lower and upper im scared tbh

[raymondrubio]
