lavendersteph,
Have you been to a doctor to get yourself checked over?

It could be anxiety related. Anxiety can often show it self in headaches, migraines, high blood pressure,back pain, to name but a few.

Anxiety is extremely distressing and can come with a lot of symptoms-worrying, racing thoughts, rapid breathing, extreme tension, not being able to sleep etc.

thank you for responding yes i have my oficial appointment on weds when i was 15 i was diagnosed with social anxiety disoder i went through hell that period of my youth i was called crazy in school my sister told everyone that i chopped her hair off becuase i 'm crazy everyone believed her because at that time i was on paxil and acting weird so anyhow the whole natalie imbruglia hair was in style so she asked me to cut it for her and i kind of cut it a little too short so she did not want to embarress herself so she lied about it plus inthat period i was always in and out of hospitals because i became agressive with my family so my anxiety went into remission for a couple of years and now it has returned with a vengance it's hard on me ...

lavendersteph,
Anxiety tends not to clear up on its own accord.
Have you got some coping stratergies to help you through the bad patches?
Try>>>>>>>>>

Slowing your breathing down. Cup your hands over your nose and mouth and breath like this for at least 10 minutes.

Learn some ways to relax, you can buy a tape.

Distract yourself by doing something you enjoy to take your mind off it.

Good luck with your appointment.

I have had the exact same symptoms as you have described (still do at times)....I went to the doctors to make sure that all was ok - they ran a lot of test, did a MRI and took some blood.... results showed that I have, arthritis - heart valve problem - depression - PMDD and of course an anxiety disorder.

I was told that the problems was nothing to worry about unless I got to the point that I could not breath and that some of these problems come from just being a female.... the good old joys of womanhood - yeah right - lol.
