Suggest Treatment For Anxiety
I've been dealing with "anxiety"(I describe my symptoms better below, may not be anxiety) in a way i would describe as burst-like. It comes and goes but only every couple of days. Weird enough, its happened to me two Saturday's in a row one week apart exactly .. at around the same time (5-6 pm) both days.
To better describe my symptoms; during my "anxiety" I become fatigued, my chest begins to feel pressured over MY right side 3-4 inches below my collar bone (not my heart), my hands become sweaty, I have numb feeling tingly-ness in my forehead, I get the feeling of needing to be home like when it happens Im usually calm about it but I want to leave wherever I am and go home for some reason.
Last night, after having dinner I had one beer and when I went to the bathroom I spit blood up 3-4 times. Each spit was all blood red and came up out of my throat, not my gums. It didn't hurt in my throat, and I didn't feel it coming up so when I saw the red I was surprised. This happened about 1 hour after I had experienced the "anxiety" (or whatever it is).
help if you can
