What’s wrong with me?

Question

Just trying to see if anyone has experienced any of this and know what’s going on! Or have had similar. I’ll be going to the doctors but just curious! A few weeks ago I thought I was going to pass out. I laid down which helped quite a bit. But ever since I’ve just felt “off”. Sometimes I’ll start feeling weird. Almost like nervous or pit in my stomach. My chest will feel heavy and it kind of feels hard to breathe. Sometimes my hands and arms feel heavy or numb and I get lightheaded. Is it stress? My blood pressure? Anxiety? Just curious as to why this could be happening.

Answer

Also I will note I have anxiety and it sounds like the way I feel when I beginning to have a panic attack. Sometimes a deficiency, or in my case, the copper IUD paraguard was causing issues and making it worse. Also adding too much copper to my body and threw off my blood levels

Answer

How are your iron levels? You should ask your doc to do blood work if you haven’t already. The symptoms you mention can def be anxiety but I would want a complete blood count and a thyroid test just to make sure!

Answer

It sounds like anxiety to me. I have really bad anxiety and I'm currently being hospitalized for it. Try meditating or going for a walk. Find something that calms you down and relaxes you. If that doesn't work and you really feel nervous or you feel like there's an elephant on your chest i would go to your doctor. Sometimes your primary will give you anxiety meds other times they will tell you to see a psychiatrist. Either way just try to stay calm and relax, anxiety is a bitch but you can get through it! If you ever need anyone to talk to you can talk with me at anytime! I know how it feels and sometimes it gets scary but hang in there!❤
