jmodge, I know what you mean , when the anxiety and panic gets really bad you start thinking , did my son just tell me goodnight and he loves me for the first time in a week because God has let him know I going to die. Or just when your having chest pains and a commercial comes on tv about getting a book about heart disease and you automatically think this is a sign that something is really going to happen! Try to relax the anxiety makes you paranoid and we all do this when we get really caught up in the fear and panic.
Hang in there, I have the same symptoms that you are having. I am learning to convince myself that I will be ok and try to talk myself through these attacks. I hope your fiance is understanding and patient with you.
I am now having a panic attack tonight because I am very superstitious as well and i always worry when i do something if it for a reason other than just because. Please help does anyone else feel like this??
Dear jmodge,
Sorry to hear you are feeling like this. It is important to let your doctor know what is going on. In the meantime, try some relaxation techniques (deep breathing, imagery, meditation). Keep posting and let us know how you are doing.

jmodge, everything is ok, it's all just the panic and anxiety. It can make every part of your body ache, tingle, throb you name it and it happens. Your brain and nervous system are what's controlling every part of your body and when the panic and anxiety have taken over your brain your body gets taken over too. Don't try to handle this alone if your since your feeling this bad and having so many symptoms, you need to make an appointment with your doctor and tell him everything you told us. the doctor will be able to help you. Keep us posted on how your feeling.
You poor thing! You sound just like me when mine started. I would be petrified of any little bodily sensation and then would be fine. I'd then drift off to sleep and WHAM.......those feelings would wash over me. I think you really need to see your Doctor. You will be glad you did. Try laying down and imagining yourself in your most favorite relaxing place. With every deep breath, imagine a tunnel of fresh air coming thru your right foot and imagine it flowing thru your body and taking all your worries and stress out of your left foot. I know it sounds crazy, but if it may help you, then by all means - TRY IT! Good luck!
I have a new symptom today that is really bothering me. While I was at work I got scared to put my arms over my head for to long. I was afraid I was going to give myself a heart attack. Then tonight I have still been having that pain in my left shoulder and I dont know what that is either or what is causing it, so when my fiance and I were at dinner tonight I started to panic that I was having a heart attack and then it subsided a little but then we went to the grocery store and I thought my hands looked all red and they also felt sweaty and then I got scared again but now just a little while ago I was SO relaxed on the couch and even falling asleep ( which hasnt happened in like a month and half now) and it felt so good but then all the sudden the panic set in and my hands felt swollen and red and sweaty and I got really shaky like I was cold and then I also got light headed like I always do when I panic. I talked to my fiance to make sure I wasnt really having a heart attack but right now my hands still feel kind of funny and I am still kind of shaky and I now I am also having some unreality. ALso I still have that pain in my shoulder and my feet also feel wierd, mainly my left one. Can all this be in my head?? I have to be up for work in 7 hours and I just want to be able to go to sleep without the fear of what might happen to me!!! Does anyone else go through this same thing. I am just so exhausted mentally and so frustrated that for the first time that I have felt relaxed for just a few moments and now that feeling is gone and I am back to being scared again. Why is this D###M thing so controlling. Please help me out with thoughts and let me know if others experience this or is something really wrong with me????
