love understand and help!

I was diagnosed of a hyperthyroid and I'm feeling nervous and anxious about everything. I went through medication and the symptoms were no longer present except being anxious and being left alone. I have panic attacks. Im afraid to travel via land or air.. And it gets worst after a miscarriage. Its been a year and I cant travel for long distance and for places that I haven't reach or visit yet. I'm.always thinking that something might going to happen.. Im.feeling nervous. Heart beats so fast. I'm hypochondriac and paranoid. Claustrophobic. Am always thinking that I am sick and if I do this or do that am afraid that I can't. What I get tired and  stress. I'm feeling like I'm dying.I'm so pessimistic.  Pls help me get out of this feeling and situation. I know its all in the mind and hormones but I can't help myself but worry because I am not enjoying my life now since I have my thyroid problem.

Hi sabrezzy...my tsh and thyroid tests are normal.. My anxiety was gone. But it came back after a miscarriage. Its been 1 and half year from now. since then I can't get out from this kind of feeling. I can travel by myself alone but not a long drive travel esp going to other places. I feel very weak and and will automatically palpitate and severe headache.

My best friend had hyperthyroidism and she took medicine and all that jazz and she is just fine now. It's normal to worry about your health when having anxiety. I do it ALL the time. But f you took mess like you were supposed too and did everything the doctor said, you should be just fine just like my best friend was. Hope all is well.

Thank you for encouraging me. Im trying to think Positive..but my brain keeps thinking every time I travel..I am not enjoying my journey. If I go to Other places i always check for houses or hospitals and if there's none it can't help me. I feel unsecure. I feel that I can't breathe on the high ways or when im in rural areas. Nextwk we are going to a trip. And right now I keep on thinking if I can go with them or not.I'm always left at home. If I go out I'm so worried that I might have an attack during the trip. Because it happened to me twice.
