Aa
i feel horrible
Hello
my name is Larry I'm 20 yrs old for the past 6 yrs I've had anxiety on december 2012 i started taking Citalopram (Celexa) 10mg. It helped me out a lot with my anxiety i recently stopped taking it its been 2 month but when i was on it i felt wierd i couldn't retain thing and became really forget-full but i wasn't anxious. since I've been off it i feel like my anxiety been coming back slowly the overthinking about everything the constant fear that something bad is going to happen to me like a heart attack a stroke and etc.. it stresses me out but i can't help it, for example this weekend i went up to tampa to go visit my girlfriend family i had to take a 4 hour drive to get there the whole ride i was really anxious it became really bad my chest started hurting me it felt really heavy to breathe when i was sitting my left arm starting hurting a little bit and i felt like i was having a heart attack i threw up four times and when i finally arrive to tampa i was so tired and nervous now my arm feels weak (my left one) my back aches i don't know what to do i feel alone I'm worry all the time I'm tired of going to the hospital cause every time they take a test everything comes back normal bloodwork, MRI, and head Cat scan

I would suggest you get on medication to treat your anxiety. I was on celexa, which is an anti-depressant. I'm not sure about the physical stuff necessarily.
If you don't feel comfortable with the meds. I would suggest first working on your health with vitamins for heart and a good exercise plan. It seems to work for me
Did you ask your dr if maybe they had a diff type if med? Do you believe in therapy ?
