Jennifer, I understand how you feel, my chest feels that way when I have panic, too. It's a cycle, your chest hurts and it scares you and then you panic more. And the more you panic, the more you feel these sensations in your body. It's just a part of panic, we all feel this way. Remember that it will go away, try to concentrate on telling yourself that it will. I know that sounds stupid, I have a hard time doing it myself when I get all worked up. This is a great place to express your fears because you will find so many people that understand. Ann - I feel for you, too. I'm bothered by all the twinges and pains I feel. Right now I have a pain in the side of my neck that's driving me nuts. I know it's probably from lifting bales of hay, but I just want it to go away. I try very hard to brush these sensations away and ignore them, but it's very hard. I know that my body is a living thing and all these sensations are just normal, I just notice them more because of the panic. Sometimes I wish I didn't have to concentrate so hard to get past them, why can't I ignore them like normal people? You're not alone in this for sure! I, too, have tried many meds and am hoping that this new one will be the one that works. We can't give up! There is help and hope for all of us and we will find it if we keep searching!
