What Causes Anxiety, Chest Tightness And Body Sensitivity?

default
Posted on Thu, 30 Jun 2016
Question: So our last thread was cut off. Yesterday was a fairly good day. To remain calm worked to reduce stress and my breathing concerns. Overnight, waking in middle of night must have triggered anxiety which raised inflammation I have chest tightness and inhalation limit inflow amount.

I know that stress and anxiety allowed to be long term and chronic leaves the body very sensitivity to any trigger. It takes just a small amount. This is until you can reduce it longer and then the triggers take more to get the reaction.

I am gonna take my Xanax and Lexapro with the Flovent to get a reduction

Simple to say, hard to maintain a belief that things are ok as you get a triggered sensation. Or as this morning, a tight chest feeling that limits air inflow.

Do you agree with my earlier comment that long term chronic gad will trigger sensations easier than when it has time to come down and your body is not so sensitized. The easier it is to trigger allows for panic and that just makes it worse.

Today, I will try it again. I will try for a nap again today. I failed to mention that yesterday I tried but failed. The nap is taken in the truck, seat dropped back. Yesterday it was very hot and I forgot the Air conditioner is not working so all I had was the fan to move air. I do not mind the heat but I did not want to sweat and come back to work that way.

I call it a truck but its a Sport Utility Vehicle. My car is in storage, I drive so many miles that i keep my car in new shape by not putting all the miles on.

Today is rough, I have tough time with chest tightness. i have to keep saying that its from long term stress and anxiety with inflammation. I think its from wanting to feel normal immediately and the impatience of not being immediately, I sense that its not getting better. Must think happy thoughts happy thoughts

Quit trying to take deep breaths and think about it. let the breathing be natural and not directed by my mind.

I had the most outstanding day yesterday, I think today may be the same. Not too sure of the reason why. Probably Positive thinking. I am under a timeline to get a project done in the next 5 days. I have a couple of days that I am free of supervisors looking to distract my work. This way I can focus and just work and be positive. I missed my nap yesterday, I will try today.

I have to work through the weekend but I will make time to relax too.

I will talk more as free time arises.
