I feel as though I may have had an anxiety
attach early this morning. It was around
2am and I was trying to sleep. My mind was
wandering , worring about the fact that I
have recently been fired and worring about
where my next paycheck is going to come
from. I have been suffering with sinus
problems lately, the left side of my nose
is ALWAYS stopped up and sometimes I am
light-headed. It hasn't been bothering me
too much lately though. Also, my stomach
has been upset lately, almost like a tight
achey feeling, like I have gas but I
don't. Anyway, as I was trying to sleep
all of a sudden I got really queasy and
felt horribly sick to my stomach, for no
reason. I felt light-headed and my throat
felt tight, like I couldn't swallow or
breath in all the way. My hands started to
kind of go numb and tingle. I started to
freak out! I felt like I was dying! The
strange thing is that exactly a month ago,
May 25, the same exact thing happened to
me, at the same time of morning! I have
been trying to read some things on here
that other people have wrote, but I still
feel as though I need advice. I was so
scared when this happened and I don't want
it to be a regular occurance. I don't
really have anybody to talk to about it,
I don't feel as though I'd be taken
seriously. I'm only 24 and I don't know if
this is normal or not. I'd really
appericate anybodys advice and help.
I would also like to add that today,
after all of this, my nose still feels all
stopped up. I feel like I've gone swimming
and got a lot of water up my nose and I
can't breath right. I still feel very
light-headed and my stomach feels upset, I
don't feel sick it just hurts. Could
someone please give me some advice so that
I may feel better and not continue to
freak out?

hi. im just curiosu how you're doing and
what you ended up doing for your symptoms.
My main symptom of anxiety is upset
stomach ... then sweaty palms, tremors,
can't sit still. I try to just do some
breathing exercises to calm down. If it
gets real bad I've been prescribed xanax
for this and ONCE IN A WHILE i will take
one but not alot because those are
addicting. how long did it take for the
attack to pass? any symptoms carry over
even after you calmed down (ie: upset
stomach, shaking, light-headed?)

It took awhile to pass, I think I finally
got tired enough that I just fell asleep.
I felt lightheaded the next day and when I
thought too much about it I would start to
kind of freak out again. My throat felt
tight pretty much all day and my stomach
was still kind of quesey. It seems like it
took awhile to get over. Sorry I can't be
of much help, and don't even know what to
do for it. I think it was a mixture of
sinus problems and anxiety.
