What is going on with me?!?!
Hi! I’m 37 and within the past 6-8 months I have started having anxiety. It all first started after drinking a lot of wine one night waking up next day with the worse stomach pain. In which turned into me going to urgent care feeling like I was going to pass out. From that point they sent me to er. I sent myself into full blown panic attack in which I had never had and thought I was dying. After ct scan, blood work, and ekg everything came back fine. Now several month later I have noticed having anxiety issues more and more. Now to a point where I have the tightness in my chest ,pain in my stomach like I’m dying. I have been prescribed Hydroxyzine To take on as needed basis to control that on edge feeling. I have noticed I find myself taking these more often than not. I just don’t know what’s going on. Should I be concerned?!?! I am just over feeling like this.

I'm just having too much worries about the pain in my head.seems I can't do other things than my thought coming to the head and thinking if I would die.what do you suggest I do??does anxiety and fear kills?
@jason223- Hello and welcome to Mayo Connect. What a bad month you've had, I'm so sorry. First off panic attacks or anxiety attacks do not usually kill anyone, so you can hopefully put that idea to rest. Have you been tested for OCD? This is a medicine that also addresses this but it may take more adjustments as far as dosage goes. Have you talked to your doctor about your headaches? If not I suggest that you do. Also if you have questions about this drug a good resource is your pharmacist. Meanwhile here is some help.

Anxiety can cause headaches all by themselves. If I'm anxious about something I get the worst tension headache. It isn't comfortable and that's what I think about too, all day long too. I'm sure that you are anxious about the headaches. There a few things worse than a headache and it's also normal not to be able to think of much else. What tests have you had done such as head CT scans or an MRI?? Are you in therapy for OCD? If you have OCD than your obsessiveness will tend to accentuate this.
Hang in there. You do need to speak with your doctor though. Let me know if your headaches have changed in any way since you've been on the new medicine.
