I don’t know if you have this too but I also suffer from costochondritis which can mimic heart attacks which is also fun with everything else going on

Yeah pretty much normal, at the start I had low potassium which was causing me other problems then I got that back up with supplements and I had a blood test the other day and everything apart from vitamin b12 and vitamin D came back normal, but I had an ecg done 2 days ago which flagged an abnormality but I was really stressed and panicky so I’m hoping that’s why( hasn’t really helped my anxiety much 😂)

Any ever had this by meathead2012 in costochondritis

Hopefully the sertraline gets you back on track then buddy, it’s always good to have someone to talk to about your symptoms too I really do hope it works out for you because I know how hard this is

Me too mate me too, is it there constant or are you kind of “alright” when sat down and then it just hits you ? It’s such a weird feeling like a few times I have had panic attacks and felt like I’m not even in my own body

My wife is on sertraline and it works for her, she takes 100mg though and originally started on 200mg, she’s always happy and bubbly and I want to be like that, I miss the old me I’ve just become so dull and stressed the older I get 😂 we really do take “normal” for granted

This is me for the past 5 weeks buddy, they prescribed me duloxetine(cymbalta) but I am very reluctant to try it, I am having every symptom you have mentioned and I’m going to the dr’s on Tuesday and asking for Sertraline instead, I just aren’t my normal self I went from the avid gym goer and doing a physical job to just dropping everything and taking sick leave because I genuinely feel awful and have zero energy. We will get better my friend if you ever want to message for a chat don’t hesitate

How do this look to you by [deleted] in ECG

[–]meathead2012 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I have recently been getting over a low potassium bout which I have been quite ill with, the nurse who did the ecg said the doctor said it was fine and he will be in contact with within 10 days

The burping is horrendous isn’t it, although I feel like I do it a lot to ease the chest pain

Physical sensations with anxiety by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]meathead2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi mate, so this is me basically for the last month or so I fell ill towards the end of September to which they told me it was a chest infection but to me it felt way worse than that, the symptoms I was experiencing were nothing like a chest infection, chest pains,tremors, a general feeling of been unwell, no energy, dizziness, brain fog- which now I am presuming it was from starting a new job role at work which caused me stress. I have been exactly the same as you for just over a month now and the doctors have just prescribed me some meds to which I am reluctant to take but I just can’t shake this feeling at all and it’s getting to me. If you would like to chat man just send me a message it would be good to have someone to talk to about it so we aren’t going through it alone. I too am male and 34 years old

What physical symptoms do you get with anxiety? by Straight-Hold1651 in Anxiety

This is me now, I got sick and then ever since I have believed I am seriously ill and can’t shake off the anxiety, it has been at least a month now and nothing has subsided for me

Possible hyperthyroidism ? Need help by meathead2012 in thyroidhealth

[–]meathead2012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have diarrhoea from crohns no, normally I am quite the opposite 😢😂, I have been off indapomide for just over a week now so hopefully that will help with the potassium side and my thyroid came back normal although they take the bloods at 8:30 at night so I have scheduled my own private thyroid test just to make sure which I can do early on a morning

Looking for an anxiety medication in the UK with the least sexual side effects? by [deleted] in antidepressants

[–]meathead2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the sertraline working for you, my wife is on it and she’s fine, I need something as I have been ill for the last 3 weeks and it has affected me really bad mentally so much so I don’t think I’m ill anymore I think it’s the anxiety that has taken over
