I just registered as a member and I am excited about being able to talk to someone who is going through this awful problem. I am a professional who has a terrific and supportive family. I am very well liked and have lots of friends, there really is nothing about my life that is bad or has ever been bad, yet I have been dealing with "panic type" physical symptoms for 4 years now. My problem is I have a masters degree in biology with a concentration in biochemistry. I CANNOT GET MYSELF TO BELIEVE MY PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS ARE IN MY HEAD AND NOT LINKED TO SOME KIND OF PHYSIOLOGICAL PROBLEM!!!. Because of this I have been tested for everything under the sun (godbless my doctors) and everything is normal. After my July heart sonogram (my 3rd one) I finally thought I had convinced myself that this physical hell I was experiencing EVERY DAY was simply panic disorder. I was doing really well, heart palpitations stopped and my feeling of doom was gone, yeah! BUT Thanksgiving day began a NEW set of physical symptoms that have only gotten worse. Trembling and shaking sensations in my neck and head, muscle trembling, fatigued eyes, visual disturbances, strong feelings of passing out, especially when talking or lecturing, and headaches to beat the band. These sensations occur all day long. Sorry to go on like this but my question is, has anyone experienced a complete change in their physical symptoms? My symptoms set off my attacks, not people, places or things. I was just getting used to the palpitations and the anxious feelings. This has thrown me completely off guard! My doctor thinks I think to much about what could be causing these problems. I am not totally convinced we are not missing something wrong physiologically. Why such a drastic change in symptoms? These are MUCH WORSE than what I have experienced in the past. Anythoughts
