Anxiety

Hi..I am 24 years old.I  am from india and work in an IT company.Sometimes while traveling alone or while in bed at night,I feel as though my heart will stop..I face problem to breath and it seems that anytime something bad will happen to me.They all  make matters worse and this thing occurs more when I travel alone and far away from my home.Also it occurs to me that a lump has grown in my throat and I cannot breathe.Can you please suggest me a possible remedy?? My head also spins sometimes as if I am too weak to stand on my own feet although my diet is regular.My heart also beats faster those times.I usually sweat at those times.But after  a while these unusual things stop and everything becomes normal again.Please help  me out??

Sounds like anxiety and panic attacks.  I am uncomfortable also when I travel alone.  I know how you feel.  When you get home, you may want to talk to a therapist.  Have you always had this problem when traveling, or just recently?  It could be something else going on with you.

Get help.  It will get better!

Best of luck,

im not for sure because im not a doctor but sounds like u could have anxiety. you said that it happens to u alot when u are away from home. its probably because u dont feel comfortable when ur far away from what youre usually around. im not saying dont travel. im just saying that you probably miss home. but it sounds like you could be having anxiety attacks. best of luck, god bless

firstly check your thyroid through a blood test this can be underactive or overactive and has the same symptoms as anxiety, but you also sound like you're suffering from anxiety, it seems to me that your are worried of being alone incase anything happens as you say you're worried about your heart, this may be pvcs when the heart has an extra beat then pauses as the heart refils with blood the beat is harder because the heart needs to pump extra amount, see you doc for a check up before to rule anything else out, then the doc will help with anxiety
