This user is stressed out 24/7

Hi. I just wondered if what I'm experiencing is normal. For the past 2-3 months I've had constant anxiety symptoms. I'm not just talking anxious thoughts (although I have those all the time), I'm talking physical symptoms. All day long, I have a horrible tightness in my chest, butterflies in my stomach, dry mouth, internal shaking in my legs and adrenaline rushes up and down my body. I can't control the symptoms, no matter how hard I try. When it first hit, it was different. I had constant nausea & a general feeling of not being able to cope. But I could switch out of it sometimes and feel normal. Now I can never switch out of it. It's there all the time, although the nausea has stopped. I even have it in my sleep because I've actually felt it in my dreams and when I wake up, it's still there. (Not that I can sleep much in this state. 5 hours is the most I ever have.) I'm on Citalopram but if anything, it's made my anxiety worse. The leg symptoms weren't there before I went on the drug and nor was the chest tightness. 29 likes, 241 replies Hi Sarah sorry to hear about what you're going through I can't imagine going through anxiety for that long mine started 8 years ago I felt sick to my stomach I couldn't eat I couldn't sleep can't get off the couch my heart rate was 140 went to the hospital several times finally I wasn't mad it had all kind of test time it was treating me for anxiety the heart doctors finally said I had tachycardia I was put on metoprolol it took about a ...
