[QUOTE="Mia4554, post: 2036667, member: 64649"] Hi Craig, I’m not sure if any of this will help but I feel that I might be able to relate to your post. I have been on anxiety meds this year and have recently come back off them. When I have panic attacks I usually feel very sick, get stomach cramps and sometimes throw up. It often takes me a few minutes (or sometimes longer) to figure out that it is due to anxiety/ panic. I usually wrack my brains for everything I have eaten and people I have been around thinking that I have food poisoning or have caught a bug! I honestly couldn’t understand why I could be panicking when I didn’t think I felt anxious or worried about anything! Sometimes this happens for me in the middle of the night when I have been asleep as well so really struggle to make sense of that! I have been having some counselling which I found really helpful and I do think that I worry about my health particularly (alongside things from my past that I probably hadn’t dealt with) but that a lot of my subconscious worry comes from continually ‘assessing’ myself for how I feel to ‘measure’ my blood. I have found that having a cgms has helped take some of that away by having something else ‘watching’ my bloods for me (even though it makes my bank balance cry!) and talking to other people who experience anxiety has helped me appreciate that I’m not alone with these symptoms that can seem to come from nowhere. Its good that you are checking to rule out other things but maybe talking to someone might also help? Hope this made sense and I’m not just rambling away! Hope you find something that helps and reduces your symptoms. Mia [/QUOTE]
