Lately I have been suffering with helath anxiety extremely bad. Way worse than ever before. I've had issues before where I think my throat is going to close up if I eat certain foods, or that there is something terribly wrong with me.. etc. But it never seemed to effect me the way that it is now. About 3 months ago, I started having BAD panic attacks in the car while driving. I get suddenly scared that I'm going to not be able to breathe and I'm going to die or that my throat is going to close up. I've been having panic attacks so badly that my muscles cramp up and I can barely move and I vomit.. etc. I've even called 911 once. I'm just very frustrated because I've ALWAYS enjoyed driving. I'm also the only person in my household that can drive legally. I'm seeing a therapist and I've been prescribed Effexor and ativan.... Which is great and all, but I'm terrified to take the Effexor ( I used to be prescribed this a while back and actually thought it was great and it helped me a lot) but now, I took it for 3 days and had a bad migraine the whole time which make me scared I was going to die, so I stopped taking it and then remembered that it will cause withdrawal once you're on it for a while and I don't want to have to go through that again. I just had a baby 6 months ago and that is also sending my death anxiety through the roof!!!!! I'm so scared of anything happening to him or myself for him. Ugh. Just got a lot going on in my mind.
Any help or advice would be so appreciated!!!
