Hello,
Well I have always been a worrier. But over the last 6 weeks things have gotten worse. I have been doing reading on the interent. But I am not sure if my sythoms are that of anxiety. Could you tell me if you have ANY of these sythoms?:
1. My heart will take spells at racing.
2. I will have spells of unreality. This may sound strange, I don't even know how to explain it. You know the feeling if someone tells you your relative or close friend passes away...that hit of this cant be real? That is what it feels like.
3.I get dizzy/lightheaded now and then. Things usually don't move It feels like I am, like my head is spinning.
4. I have trouble relaxing and worry over the slightest thing.
5. Difficulty concentrating...mind going blank .
6. Tired a lot. I have trouble falling and staying asleep.
Well that is the main things I worry the most about #2. I would love to hear from someone!
TY

Hi, R & welcome to our community. Having suffered with anxiety & panic attacks for 35 years, I can tell you that what you have described *may* be anxiety. Number 2 is a very real concern for many of us. But, we all need to start somewhere before visiting message boards & the internet. You need to see your family dr. & have an exam & work up. There are illnesses out there that can have symptoms similiar to anxiety. You need to have a professional diagnosis. That is something we aren't qualified to do. I wish you the best of luck. Here is a recent thread on our board that may answer some of your questions. (((hugs))) jan
