Need Advice, Weird Feelings Initiated Last Night Posted: 05-14-07 02:24am
Hey all,
Ever since last night around… 3am, I
have been receiving weird
“sensation’s” just below the middle
of my chest. It then persist to upwards
and sometimes reaches to my brain, this
feeling does not cause any pain however
but really does give me great discomfort.
I have been searching up Google to try to
find a solution to my problem and have
been bombarded by all sorts of theories.
One of the theories is anxiety and
other’s heart problems (which really got
me worried) I am only 18 years of age. I
am about 180cm and weight 63kg’s. Let me
explain how this feeling started.
I am a gamer, and a pretty hardcore one at
that (World of Warcraft). Last night
around 12am I received an “item” with
superior quality for my character I was
thrilled to be so lucky. After I received
the item and started “testing” it on
other opponents. I am a perfectionist when
am gaming and it annoys me when I do not
perform at my best, with this new item
(weapon) I felt even more obliged to
perform at my best. So any who, after I
received this weapon I drank a bottle of
Red bull (330ml) hoping it would keep me
sharp for a little longer while I do my
thing. I also however drank another Red
Bull a few hours before, also 330ml. (this
is not my normal routine I normally a lot
drink water, but tonight was different) At
approximately 3am I started to feel these
symptoms I am receiving at the moment.
What’s great is while I am typing this
to you guys, these symptoms have started
to fade, nevertheless those last couple of
words I typed I felt the sensation again.
A few months ago I had the same
“feeling” on my shoulders as I went to
bed. It was a real hard aching experience
trying to sleep as it was so
uncomfortable. Good for me those feelings
have past away.
Are these feeling’s normal? What could I
do to stop this feeling? How can I take my
mind off this but still play my game? Is
this anxiety? I have thought of exercise
to be a good choice for forgetting these
symptoms, unfortunately its already
getting late where I live so playing
basketball (my favorite sport) is out of
the equation. Any other ideas?
Thanks for reading
- Jason

Red Bull drinks have at least 80mg of
caffeine per can - and that is equivalent
to two really strong cups of coffee. You
drank two Red Bulls, meaning the feelings
you were getting were nothing more than
just the jittery and buzzy feelings of a
caffeine high. Not to mention, those
drinks pack a lot of other mind and body
stimulating ingredients - and those are
known to aggravate symptoms of anxiety in
people. Caffeine is one of the biggest
offenders in this case.
I would suggest that, if you were to drink
any more energy drinks in the future, that
you would space them at least eight hours
apart from each other.
Try to not repeat this pattern again, or
else you will develop an anxiety that is
specific to your favorite game.

Thanks for the reply.
Well it's been two nights now and I am
still feeling these symptoms. But now I am
experiencing a short of breath feeling for
a split second or so. I then am forced to
take a deep breath. I've also noticed my
heart rate is faster than normal these
past two days. Its like my sensation
feeling is linked to this breathing
feeling, which then leads to deeper
breaths and faster heart beats. It feels
like a cycle going back and forth. Does
fatigue contribute to anxiety?
Could this be similar to my shoulder
sensations? Ahhh I think I am over
reacting. Should I seek medical advice or
give it a few more days as I did to my
shoulders?
