Am I going to die? (again)

[nathanlawliet]

Right now I'm feeling really weird. My throat hurts and I'm having shortness of breath, and I'm kind of getting close to a panic attack..

I know there probably won't be a reply right away, but please just someone tell me if I'm going to be ok...

Before you insult me.

Maybe you should call a doctor, or 911 or someone who knows more than a couple of random people on a zune forum...

Well I've calmed down a little bit now... Besides, I can't tell my dad, my mom wouldn't listen, and I'm at my dad's house anyways. He doesn't know our doctor or anything, so unless I'm dying I probably won't say anything...

You'll be fine.

I know.. Just things like this always happen to me.. I'm always thinking someone is watching me, feeling like I'm about to stop breathing, getting a panic attack, etc..

But I started drinking some soda and I feel better... I don't know... Maybe it just went away..

[Darth Camel]

It was most likely psychological. Just try to relax whenever something like that happens.

yeah it is pretty much psychological, but you could also have started i to dehydrate if you felt better after drinking soda.but make sure you drink water. At least 4 glasses a day

Yeah I've gotten a really bad stomach virus... Lately I've been dizzy, had no energy, I've been pretty miserable...

I keep getting some feeling in my head, like a shock that I can't feel, but It still wakes me up ya know? Like, imagine getting shocked by say, a fake stapler made to shock people as a prank, you just can't feel it.

And it's in your head... I've had it for about a year now, but it was only this week that it's happened while I'm awake and not trying to sleep.. I'm actually a little worried about it.

but thanks for all the help...

EDIT: BTW, can anyone try finding out what the above thing with my head is? I can't find anything on Google...

[wyckedcombo17]

WebMD your symptoms
i also have some advice if you believe in God, if not it wont work idk

You are going to be fine.

I know what you're talking about... it happens to me once in a while too, when I'm exhausted, or really stressed out. This sensation is so... weird, so disturbing.

When it happens, try to relax, listen to some music (thanks to your zune), talk to someone or just post on these boards. I personally play videogames when it occurs.

Take care.

Yeah but when I get that feeling, I AM relaxing, and it doesn't work. I'm usually half-asleep when it happens, but lately it's been during the day. Today is the first day it hasn't happened...

[Luna]

It's probably happening because you're exhausted, then, if it usually happens when you're half-asleep. You probably have a big amount of stress on your shoulders, too, I guess... which does not help.

If you want to talk about it, don't hesitate to PM me.
I will try to help you.

[Darren]

Hopefully you get better, I know that some medicines can make all sorts of symptoms (Including depression)

Thanks but I just got another problem..

A few months ago, I posted weird heart problems here. A month ago, a doctor said I have Acid Reflux Disease, which means stomach acid goes into my heart and stuff. I got a couple of thousand bottles of something called "Nexium." I waited a month to take them, and a few weeks ago I started taking them.

I didn't know, but I THINK they have penicillin in them, and I'm allergic to it.. Now, I'm sitting here with my ENTIRE BODY covered in red spots, itching like hell. And since it's an allergic reaction, I can't do **** about it. Right now I have Caladryl Lotion, and Wal-Dryl pills to stop it. The pills work good, but I have to wait 3 more hours to take them again to stop the itching.

My mom of course, only got lotion. Other than that, that bitch didn't do ****, which is why I'm so mad right now. I was just crying in my room, scratching every part of my body (Emphasis on EVERY) trying to get the itching to stop, but I feel all waxy, disgusting, dirty, and I'm in pain.

Plus recently I've felt weird in my throat, like there is something inside it that might make me stop breathing, and I don't know what it is. It also hurts breathing right now because there is a painful feeling in my chest (possibly ARD like I said above).

Anyways, as for the stress possibility, I'm always stressed (hence I made those suicide threats a while ago). I'm kind of depressed right now just because my friends are all seniors, and they were partying last night and probably are today, knowing they are done with school, and I'm by myself in my house in my room waiting for this pain to go away..

Anyways if anyone knows about the brain thing still... Stress probably is it but I don't know... I'm more interested in my throat problem now..

Well, it could be depression. If not, it is probably something relatively similar. Possibly a panic disorder or some form of generalized anxiety.

See your doctor. If nothing else, when you go in about the Nexium say you were also worried about times when so and so symptom pops up. Your best bet is probably to see a Psychiatrist, your insurance should cover it if you get a referrall. Best thing is usually you don't have such a time crunch, you're scheduled for hour+ increments so you're sure they are listening.

If you mention the suicidal feelings to your doctor, he/she'll pay attention. If they don't, you need a new doctor.

Depression can represent itself physically as well as emotionally.

Also, possibly your tongue is slightly swollen or something as a result of the allergy.

Get in to see your doctor within a week, or look up some of the services in your area. There are usually places that are half way between your doctor and the ER. They don't handle emergency things, but when you can't wait to see your doctor.

Seriously, see your doctor, make one of your parents take you.

Well I am depressed (hence the suicide threats) and I do get panic attacks.. But we went to a doctor and my mom denied it, and my parents aren't people to talk to. I have a counselor but I don't really say anything to him.. If it was a girl, possibly, but I don't really want to see fun in life or get help, in a weird way..

After school we'll go because of Acid Reflux, and talk about the pill and what it did, hopefully get something without penicillin or whatever it was.

As for telling the doctor, I want to but I can't. I just CAN'T let my parents know how I'm feeling or anything, they're not people you talk to. My mom is ignorant and neglectful, and my dad is someone I just can't tell. Like I said above, in a weird way, I want to stay depressed and just off myself after high school. Luckily, I can bet money I'm failing the grade, so +1 year of life to me.

But I'd rather stick with the physical problems unless we have to talk about stress if it's really this related to what's wrong with me.

I have experience with physical manifestation of psychological problems. Just ask your parents to go in by yourself, or when the Doctor comes in, ask if you can talk to him/her by yourself.

Acid Reflex is VERY often set off by stress/anxiety. He'll probably put you on something like Prevacid, but medicene will only do so much. At best, it will delay it for a while, then you get tolerance and it comes back worse.
