On and off I get pains in my left arm/shoulder and sometimes in the middle of my back. I'm 25, but I'm freaking out that in having a heart attack. It's random all over that area. Maybe tensing up? It's scaring me pretty bad though.

I was putting my makeup on a couple days ago and turned my neck. I saw my lymph node poking out on the left side under my ear. It doesn't hurt at all. When I feel both side of my neck the left side is bigger. It's as big as a Lima bean or 2 of my fingers. I'm really freaking out about this.

Thanks guys. I had a better day/night, but now I can see a swollen lymph node on my neck now. It's making me even more stressed. It doesn't hurt either, could it be a small cold/infection? I don't have any other symptoms I'm just tired.

Hi guys, I haven't been here in a while. But I could really use some help. I'm on a trip for work and I just had a panic attack. I got through it, but all I want to do is go home. I don't fly out until Friday. What do I do!? That's four days! I'm really upset...

That makes me feel better. Thank you. It's been a while since I've gotten sick like this.

Thank you. I actually just got out of a hot shower. I'm im still feeling a little tense. And am a little worried of the color of what came up. It was a bit brown. I dont think that means blood though...

So I got sick...in the sink. Wasn't my greatest moment lol. Anyway I feel better! But my chest hurts. I think I pulled something getting sick.

I feel so bad at the moment. I'm so bloated my stomach feels extremely tight and uncomfortable. I just woke up thinking I was going to get sick from it...heck I wanted to get sick so this tightness would go away. I know this is from what I ate today but it's making me feel really anxious. I've put a heating pad on my stomach in hopes it'll losen some of my stomach muscles. I hate that my stomach does this.

I had a lot of palps about a month ago. When I was worrying about them I came a long this thread "To those who suffer from palpitations" It's long but really helped me from worrying about the palps. I booked marked it even to re-read in case I started fearing them again. It explains why palps can be caused by anxiety and stress. It even talks about the coughing sensation we get when we experience a palp! Anyway my palps went away. And I'm sure yours will too!

I had a small panic attack that lasted only about 2 min. Was really not that huge of a deal. I knew though it was probably because I was really hungry. I woke up early this morning really hungry. I was still tired though and chose sleep over food. When I woke up the second time though I felt awful and shaky which turned to a panic attack. I ate and finally felt better. Does anyone else get like this? After eating so much over Christmas I decide to pretty much cut out everything I knew had a lot of sugar in it. So maybe the abrupt change caused it?

Ugh the burning sensations are the worst. But i know everytime I get that feeling in my shoulders I know for a fact its my anxiety. Then I can start calming myself down knowing thats all it is. I sometimes get symptoms when I'm not feeling overly anxious. Usually its me subconsciously being stressed.

Usually when my anxiety is acting up especially when I'm having palps I put a really cold ice pack on my chest. The extreme cold distracts me from focusing on the paplpataions. Its also good on the neck. I know a lot of us have palpations because of anxiety. Thought I share since my palps have been happening a lot recently.

Yes Jonathan I'm very impatient especially with anxiety! I know when it first hit me and I was doing bad a year ago I just wanted to stop and be better like a cold or something. I finally figured that that was not going to happen. So I slowly started pushing myself to get out again and training my brain to not think in worse case scenarios. Of course I still get rough days here and there but no were near what it was. I'm am thankful!

Thank you all! The palpitations are slowly going away. I had like 2 today and that was it! I also feel like I have a better handle on my anxiety than I did a year ago. As most with anxiety I feel my symptoms more than others. I just need a little reassurance now and then. Thanks again!

Thank you to you both. I'm trying really hard to ignore them. I catch myself making up stories in my head thinking they're something bad. Distracting myself when this happens is my best solution for now.
