HELP! Anxiety: I feel like I'm dying?
I'm a 16 year old female, never had sex so I'm not pregnant, my periods are very irregular and I don't know if this is just me PMS'ing, or if I'm really sick. For the past 3 days I've been so depressed, anxiety/panic ridden, and have randomly sobbed for no reason other than I'm scared of what could be wrong with me. I've also been losing my balance, extremely light headed, super nautious, gassy, I've had dhiarrea and both of my legs went numb. I've been so light headed I feel like I'm going to run into a wall. I feel like I'm going to faint and I've had a few very bad anxiety attacks. I'm currently not on my period though and there's absolutely no way I can tell when I'm going to start it. So I doubt this is pms, but idk! I checked my blood pressure - it was normal. I've eaten, and I've drank a whole Gatorade. I'm just so scared, and I can't sleep. I'm SO exhausted and it's ******* with my brain yet I can't sleep because my mind won't calm down. I've tried everything. My mom thinks I'm making all of this up to skip school, so no one is going to take me to the ER. A few months back, I got bloodwork done and I was really healthy... Although that doesn't mean I'm healthy NOW... What is wrong with me????
Can my anxiety really make me feel this ill?
Yes, anxiety really can make you feel that sick. If you've been to the ER six times in 2 weeks, that says to me that you are a really, really anxious person. Someone without anxiety would have maybe gone to the ER once, had a bunch of tests done, been told they were fine, and gone home. Most people probably would've waited until the next day and made an appointment with their regular doctor, thinking it was the flu or a virus. But the ER six times in just 2 weeks? That screams "anxiety disorder" to me. All of your symptoms are really typical of anxiety. The rapid heart rate, tingly/numb feeling, lack of appetite, digestive problems, fatigue, insomnia, flushed feeling (feeling like you have a fever when you don't), dizziness, tense muscles, dry mouth... those are ALL hallmark symptoms of anxiety. All of this happens because your central nervous system (CNS) is flooded with adrenaline when you become anxious, and that adrenaline kicks your bodily systems into high gear. It makes everything in your body go at a faster rate - your heart, your breathing, your digestion. Your blood circulates faster, making you feel flushed, and you suddenly have a rush of extra oxygen in your blood, giving you that sort of light-headed feeling. After doing this for too long your body gets tired, because it's literally as if you've been running non-stop. Imagine if you spent all day at a constant run, never slowing down or taking a break... you'd feel pretty damn tired! But because your CNS is still over-stimulated by the anxiety, which tells your brain there's something to run from even when there isn't, you can't sleep. Your brain doesn't want you to sleep because it has you on hypervigilant mode, it wants you wide awake to keep an eye out for danger. So you get crappy sleep, which makes you feel even worse, and become even more tired. Did any of the ER doctors refer you to a psychiatrist or a psychologist? If not, then shame on them, they are not doing their job as doctors. Ask your general care physician to refer you to a psychiatrist and a therapist who you can begin seeing. Don't just go to the psychiatrist, the therapist is really important as well. Talking to them can help figure out WHY you have such bad anxiety in the first place, and they can help you correct your anxious thoughts and stop them from coming back. Good luck!
Is it normal to feel tingling and numbness after chiropractic adjustment?
Q: Why do newborns get adjustments?A: The birth process, no matter how natural, can affect an infant's spine. Some studies suggest that colic, unusual crying, poor appetite, ear infection or erratic sleeping habits can be signs of spinal distress. Newborns also become subluxated in the same physical, emotional or chemical ways an adult does as well. An infant is also examined very carefully to determine if there is a subluxation and, if needed, receives a gentle Gonstead adjustment involving very little pressure.Q: Do I have a slipped disk?A: No. The disc is a cartilage pad between each of your spinal vertebra that aides in your spine's connection, flexibility, movement, weight bearing & shock absorbing ability. Motion in your spine produces a pumping action to each disc allowing nutrients to enter and waste to be expelled. Because of spinal subluxations or severe trauma a disc can bulge, swell, tear, herniate, thin, dry out or collapse BUT it's can't actually "slip" out from between the spinal bones it serves. The Gonstead Chiropractor pays special attention to your disc health. The Drs. gently corrects the misaligned vertebra and restores it to a proper position in relationship to the disc, allowing the disc to heal.Q: How many adjustments will I need?A: Many patients are concerned about having to come in all the time for Chiropractic care. In our office we realize that each individual is different, and your care is tailored specifically to your level of acuteness. When beginning Chiropractic care in an acute condition, you may need to be adjusted more often in a short period of time to begin the healing process. Every patient responds differently to care, but in general our goal is to get to the root of the problem quickly and leave it alone to heal. The Drs. will give you specific recommendations but usually suggest periodic evaluations to maintain proper spinal health. Each visit builds on the next, so remain hopeful... we are!Know more information see this YouTube Video i think its help you : Best Sacramento Chiropractor Reviews Call us today! (916) 245-8337

ANYWAYS, do those symptoms sound normal to you guys? i just find it hard to believe that being nervous or...just 'having a 'generalized anxiety disorder', can cause these chills, muscle tension, and a fever....even though the 'fever' is really within a degree of a normal body temp...idk...answers pleasE? for help towards some piece of mind. edit: in case u need to know, when i was 1st diagnosed with this thing, they gave me a whole bunch of cat scans, blood tests, urine tests, ultra sounds, and had me see a neurologist and gastrologist...they said they ruled out everything other than mental distress/nervous disorder.
Weird tingling in palms and fingers when upset? ?
I believe what you are experiencing is stress/anxiety. I know when things get hectic for me, and its about all I can take mentally/physically, my lips tingle. Odd I know, but the body is relating that you are at the breaking point! Relax tonight with a bath, and a glass of wine!!
