I'm 36. Had fine health until 32, when I started having chest pain that feels like a rubber band is around my heart. Went on six months or so but thought it was just due to stress and would go away. I then had a fairly traumatic experience where my mom got drunk on a cruise my parents paid for us to come on, and she said a bunch of crazy shit/lashed out at me. Had never seen her misbehave before. That night I tried to have some time to myself (was sharing room with my sister) but the cruise staff would make no accommodation for me. Felt somewhat traumatized. Had never felt trapped like that before. I just wanted off the boat but the cruise was going for another 5 days. Trapped.Two weeks after the cruise I asked mom for an apology. She wouldn't apologize at all. I was disappointed, but not shocked.Two weeks after that I had my first panic attack. While at work. I had no idea what a panic attack was, so I thought i was having a heart attack, so I had an ambulance called. Doctors said I seemed fine. Since then, for about 3 years now have dealt with the chest pain as well as heart that feels like it's often thumping, even when i'm totally relaxed and pretty low stress. I also feel like I have a chronic elevated adrenaline level. As if I'm at 5% of what a jump-scare would make you feel, but all of the time.
cont'd:I think I do have somewhat medium level stress/anxiety just due to how shitty the US has gotten with opportunities etc, as everyone else deals with, but before I was 32 was dealing with basically same stuff and had no physical symptoms. Have visited multiple doctors and got fairly extensive testing done and they say I seem fine. Have done some yoga/breathework/Chinese medicine, but they have only seemed to help somewhat.Also, I really don't understand doctors. It seems like all I hear about is doctors doing crazy shit for their patients even if they don't really need it (transing them, giving them all sorts of meds, etc), yet when I see a doctor I can list a bunch of symptoms I'm experiencing and they just take my vitals and say I'm fine and maybe I should do more yoga...? Would appreciate some advice so I can get better. Thanks.
>>34095354gee i wonder what was going on about 4 years ago did you get an mrna covid vaccine?
>>34095360Have you been to a therapist yet to get treatment for the panic attacks and anxiety disorder?
>>34095523look at these parasites
>>34095523*possible* anxiety disorder sorry, just thought I should correct that. You haven't been diagnosed so you might not have it
>>34095360>yet when I see a doctor I can list a bunch of symptoms I'm experiencing and they just take my vitals and say I'm fine and maybe I should do more yogaare you white? are your doctors minorities? if so they're probably practicing social justice and just letting your racist ass dieit's happened to multiple people i know
>>34095506nope, never got vaxxed. but i would sure be thinking the vaxx caused this if i had gotten it>>34095523i have not formally been to a traditional therapist. I had one class of TRE therapy. I also had one therapy session by phone but it was also a kind of outside-the-box type. >>34095554I am white and the doctors have all been non-whites. But these doctor visits have been in Asian countries as I'm a bit of a digital nomad.
>>34095354Since the docs said your heart looks fine, try dealing with the stress. Camomile tea, anything else that they sell over the counter that lowers adrenaline. Also, I know there are guides on how to avoid panic attacks on youtube, I think it is about finding a memory that is very safe and focusing on it, which I believe you can also link to smells by like sniffing lavender when thinking of it
>>34095609If the doctors aren't helping after extensive tests and after you've gone to multiple, then imo it's probably psychological and you'd need a specialized sort of treatment from a therapist that knows how to help with panic attacks.Reading up on it with chatgpt, apparently it's possible for your brain to go into a hyperaroused/vigilant state after experiencing just one panic attack, after that it basically becomes sensitive to certain cues from your body. This aspect might be something worth looking into.
