Just wondering how you all manage stress (Serious) Ive been suffering with Severe muscle tension all over my body, the worst is the tension headaches, tight throat and chest , sometimes squeezing or fullness in chest , brain fog. Doc put me on Welbutrin and hydroxzine since im trying to loose weight (Celexa made me gain 50+ pounds) Ive been trying meditation, PMR , hard exercise , diet , sitting in pool, essential oils, magnesium , b complex , multivitamin, sun bathing , 8-10 hour sleep and its slowly getting better but im not 100% I know I need to fix my breathing as I find im constantly yawning,belching,going for deep breaths,overbreathing and thats when the tightness really gets bad.
(My story)
After leaving high school in 2011.. I was at a party and was smoking cuban cigars with a buddy and his Girlfriend put a high dose of Synthetic Marijuana(K2) and marijuana in the cigar without telling us..We smoked almost all of it and began to hallucinate and see colors, and started having severe chest pain,painfull heart palpitations and loss of breath and racing heart. I was sure I was going to die of a heart attack it was pretty intense we both almost fainted. It eventually went away but the chest pain was on and off for a week. Went to the ER eventually and was cleared healthy. Did research and found out many people died of cardiac arrest from smoking K2. Ever since that first panic attack.. Anxiety has always been in my life. I got treated with medications, started going to the gym, eating right and it never hit me for 5 years.
It recently came back after I was getting off work and sat down in my car and couldn't feel the steering wheel for like 2 seconds, looked around and everything was going slow. Had a weird lightheaded, brain fog feeling. I made the mistake of trying to drive home and I felt a squeezing in my chest and it got really bad and had to pull over ( I was hyperventilating i think ). As soon as I got out the car it went away so I knew it was anxiety. I began to have bad tightness, squeezing,pressure in my chest, racing heart , tight muscles in head, legs,raised tensed shoulders, shortness of breath. After 3 ER visits, 8 different doctors and specialists I was told that im healthy. Its improved 75% after medications and gym, diet but im still suffering slightly.
