Hi, I'm Susan from Healthlite Beautilite SB. I'm a health advisor. Since when you get thyroid? On medication now? Do you hand shake when you put hands straight? By the way, do you look for second opinion to help on it? You got this Agoraphobia?

I'm on Xanax prescribed by my GI specialist due to IBS from anxiety disorder. Ive done screenings and cleared of any disease so far. Xanax works, but the effect is so short. My dosage is also very low at 0.5/day. Im starting to develop tolerance to it.

But he can only help me for a temporary period and I need help from psychiatrist. He refered me to a psychiatrist but it's so damn expensive, RM400/hour.

Is there any other cheap psychiatric clinic for me to get prescribe with? Please I dont need alternative or motivational speech, it doesnt work for IBS-er like me. Since my condition is physical and mental.

IBS=Irritable Bowel Syndrome

May i know those who is having anxiety have the pressure and tightness across the forehead?

When you cough, I think you are hyper ventilating. Just use a brown bag, cover your mouth and breathe inside the bag slowly. Don't look at the fitbit, it will make things worse.

Im very sure im not hyperventilating...lol

probably its just a sudden case of hypoglycemia, or food intolerance or it can be anything...lol.


i still believe to cure all these sort of thing, mental or physical....its all coming from the food we eat.
i dont have any problems now...yay! sleep better, felt fine in my head & happy overall.

Anybody here, who has made experiences with Oleamide, for better sleeping when suffering from anxiety? I read about it here and to me it sounds as it could have potential as a low key supplement, but i am not sure.

I take Nature's Own (Complete Sleep [Advanced]), 2 tablets each time. Works well. Bought it from Australia but it's sold here as well.

Sometimes you need to find the root cause instead of relying on medication, do you have anything bothers you from getting a good sleep?

You can try this https://shopee.com.my/pre-diluted-liquid-xa...88837.532286451

There are a few online forums that document it's effect.

I got for myself some for sleep. Still in the midst of testing. I perhaps have other issues that keep waking me up from sleep.

Try a course of these two supplements -

5-HTP

L-theanine, or drink caffeine-free green tea

I would like to know is everyone in this thread has properly diagnosed their anxiety symptoms by medical professional or self diagnose?

do your anxiety always accompanied by physical symptoms?

Always seek medical help when you feel something wrong with you, or even just by sharing your problems here you might feel better too

was seeing on reddit nootropics, the discussion of theanine is discussed alot. i might actually try it as since its a naturaly occured amino acid. im always after natural remedies.

few herbal supps are on my list as well. silexan, passion flower, valerian root

here's a article that i stumbled upon after months of google search http://www.drjoecarver.com/clients/49355/F...0Imbalance.html

so I've been having this lactose intolerance for a while now but I didn't learn from this and kept drinking.

So yesterday I decided to drink more around 700ML and added some coffee. I started having this intense bloat and increased heart rate. I went home and felt very drowsy. I sat down for a while and 1-2 hours later, my stomach felt better. The drowsiness went away.

However, I started feeling this...weird numbness/tingling sensation on my feet. I went to bed and tried to sleep but this numbness is fkin up my mind. It's getting more apparent and started feeling it on my arms.

I took a quarter of a sleeping pill to help me sleep cause I'm getting anxious/worried. Sadly, it got a bit worst the next day....and till now, I'm still feeling this up to my face and ears.

It's both sides. I went to the GP and she was quite dismissive of this. My blood pressure is on the lower end, I think that could be the cause?

Same here, i got anxiety since this year Feb, from that day onwards my palm and feet felt burning, numbness/tingling sensation.
IT slowly gone after few months , but now my anxiety back and causing my palm get burning again.

Lovely chatroom. I'm new here and going through the messages is so refreshing.

At first I suspected I had anxiety issues and I went to see a therapist. She did not diagnose me but she taught me techniques to reduce my anxieties. It wasn't as scary as I thought as I didn't want medications. That helped a lot. I have friend who was diagnosed as having Generalized Anxiety Disorder from a psychiatrist. But after being diagnosed, she became worse and labelled herself. So I guess it depends on your needs. but I agree, if you feel unwell, go seek someone for help.

Returning to this thread again...feels need to vent off a little.

Im not sure what happened, i thought me and physical anxiety symptoms has made peace since it's been 5 months im without any noticeable "attacks & palpitations".

Here's the story, I can say im quite competitive when it comes to gaming, especially PvP games. the excitement & adrenaline rush sometimes sends my heart to race at 140+ bpm at certain time without any external stimulants. (it's only stupid Mobile Legends tho...lol but the anticipation to climb the ranks are real) Its slight uncomfortable but fun nevertheless. Depends on team, it's very seldom i got this kind of euphoria...

Last thursday, basically doing nothing (i just brushing my teeth) i felt the sense of adrenaline rush & it gave me palpitations for the whole day! the racing was not that fast, about 120+ bpm, but man this one is so stubborn to let it cool. Im getting more uncomfortable, took 1 extra magnesium/calcium pill, stripped off in my underwear & lie down to cool off my body while try taking a nap until the pounding & pulse normalized to lower 80s. The palpitations started around 10.30am & cools off at 4pm. I thought if this palpitations wont stop in the evening it's time to eventually get help, but thank goodness it has finally stopped. As usual, the random palpitation session makes me a little tired, I sleep like the dead for few days.

Is it possible for that massive adrenaline rush may create havoc to autonomous nervous system?

Hm didn't know this thread exist. I guess i can share my experience.

Had panic attack/social anxiety in 2006. I was basically a lazy bum back then. Been taking Luvox since. Started working in 2008 and it got better. I was living with other housemates renting a place. Moved out to live alone in 2014. Lately i'm feeling sick though i know it's pretty much the usual anxiety, feels sick but not sick physically. I am introverted and shy as well (guess why i'm still not married hah) so i prefer to be alone but at the same time scared to be alone just in case anything happen at home. So confusing. Anyhow, life goes on and trying hard not to over think things.

Just want to know if i'm just over reacting or there's really an issue for me to look into.

Few years back I went through an excruciating breakup. I don't really remember what I used to be like before the breakup, but now i'm always worried about what other people think about me. I don't try to look good in front of people and just be the way I am, but regardless i'm always afraid of someone else's judgement.

I don't feel like I can trust anyone, and I find it hard to open up about my feelings to anyone, not even to my parents. I worry that my friends are talking bad about me behind my back, or maybe they don't want to hang out with me because of my personality and I honestly would like them to tell me if I did something wrong.

I'm regularly in a state of overthinking, do they still want to be friends, are they talking stuff about me instead of confronting me directly. This is amplified by the fact that I've found out one of them does talk bad about me, but that person does it to everyone. Sadly, she's like the "core" of the group and I'm thinking of wanting out, but at the same time I'm quite sure I may not see some of them anymore if I do.

I know some might think this is stupid, but because of my breakup I get easily affected when it involves someone im currently interested in. We're not together and she's free to do what she wants. But im always worried she'll find another guy, and it gives me mood swings, really bad mood swings. Currently trying to distance myself, but don't think that's a way to fix a problem if its going to happen again. I don't want to worry over stupid things like that, but my body and brain just kicks in and I tell myself there's nothing I can do, just do what I can do and the best I can. It helps a little but it isn't good enough.

I'm a ball of insecurity and I get bouts of just not wanting to do anything because of my mood, I worry over things and over think them to the point I want to cry, but after my break up I had to "steel" myself to get over it, and I find it hard to express my feelings and it just keeps bottling up and making the vicious cycle looping again and again.

Overtime, your condition may worsen. If you need to seek help, there are a lot of psychologists around. Share your problems and concerns with them. Sometimes what we experience are just symptoms to something - there may be a deeper root problem that could stem from elsewhere and not related to your break up. So get it all out.
