I am really struggling lately with anxiety symptoms. I have recently gone out on medical and that in itself has probably added to my stress level. My symptoms are tight shoulders, tight head, heaviness on the chest and lately I have experienced heat flashes throughout my upper body which leaves me light headed and of course send me into anxiety or panic mode. I really thought I was having a heart attack. On top of all of this I have high blood pressure so, I am constantly worrying about that. I am taking Lexapro but, I am not sure it is working for me. I am really scared about long term symptoms and the stress they may put on my heart. I have always been the nervous type but I am so tired of being afraid. Just looking for some support.
