What Causes Extreme Nervous, Sick, Panic, Shaky, Dizzy And Breathless?
Hi, for nearly a year now I've been feeling extremely nervous and panicky and I often (4 or 5 times a week) get very down and worried about everything. I get very shaky and breathless and sometimes feel sick and dizzy. I had a very tough year last year (2013) and it was very hard for me to cope with everything that happened and although I have moved on and started fresh I still cannot let go of my past and I feel as if it constantly haunts me which makes me feel even worse about myself. I'm not very confident and am always worrying about gaining weight. I've tried so many times to talk to someone about it all but I just can't bring myself to and keeping this to myself for over a year now is becoming unbearable. Any advice or help on why I'm feeling so panicky and worried all the time would be very helpful. Thanks
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You are very detailed. From the look and feel of your condition, it is almost clear that You have an anxiety disorder which is called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Don't go by the used words. This condition arises after some body goes through intense stress. Throughout the stress period, our body produces some hormones which neutralizes stress factors. But when the stress condition stops, the hormones takes its toll. Means, once the body get used to these hormones, it cannot go without them. This condition needs practice. Training to overcome addiction. Just like substance abuse.
It is possible with the help of relaxation, psychotherapy and other such techniques, without the help of medication.
