AnneBoleyn 50 Posted April 9, 2021 I'll admit I've been under alot of stress lately but today I feel awful. I have a fluttering in my chest, I feel sick to my stomach and a little lightheaded. I though maybe I was hungry so I ate but now I feel worse. I also feel like Im going to burst into tears. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are you thinking about that is triggering the anxiety? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnneBoleyn 50 Posted April 9, 2021 We had a heart scare with my son a few weeks ago. Then he had to quarentine because he was considered a close contact at school. My sister is going through a depressive episode and my husband is miserable at work and the job he thought he was going to get fell through. But I keep getting this fluttering in my chest and it's freaking me out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MARC 431 Posted April 11, 2021 Stress can do a lot to you and you have had your share of it. I remember for the period September 2012 through August 2013, my mother, then father and then my uncle all passed away and it was a stressful period for me too.

SurferJoe 11 Posted April 23, 2021 It sounds like you're going through a lot and stress can definitely cause everything you've mentioned. I've found stress leads to physical symptoms leads to anxiety leads to stress and on and on. I've definitely experienced a fluttering feeling before. It's frightening for sure. I've even asked my doctor about it and he told me very likely a stress/anxiety response. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
