...See more Hi all my name is Teresa I'm 38 have 7 children who are my world this all started 7 weeks ago when I was rushed to hospital with chest pain turns out it's acid reflux but since that day every time I get a pain in my chest my heart races I get hot and cold sweats pain almost all over my body if I eat my symptoms get worse they wake me at night I've been taken into hospital 6 times in two weeks to have ecgs and blood tests that always come back normal. My dr has said It must be anxiety oh and here's so anti depressants made me worse so stopped taking them so I'm now sat here thinking when's the next attack it seems to me that they come on when ever they feel like it mayb ten times a day I think I know some of the trigger and that's eating but I've lost so much weight due to not eating I may have done more harm than good to myself :( I've been trying to eat better only to have a racing heart and everything else no matter how much I tell myself I'm ok and these feelings are due to anxiety I've got to the stage now that I can't leave the house I just wanna be me again and have fun with my kids any advice on how to get past this would be great thank you

...See more I've only just been told by my dr that I have anxiety it's all new to me been this way for almost 7 weeks basically I get hot flushes all the time my heart races I feel shaky I get a very sore chest but that's down to acid reflux and anxiety makes its worse I get pain all over the rest of my body also I've been to hospital about 9 times only to sent back home every day is a battle I just can't switch the feelings off I panic if I go out I can't seem to eat as it makes my heart pound so every time I eat it sets off the anxiety no matter how many times I tell myself I'm fine I've lost loads of weight and I'm only tiny any ways and advice on how to get my life back would be great thank you
