What is wrong with me??????????? Will I live?Hi
I'm 17 years old
And I'm very scared for my life right now
I honestly think I'm dying, I'm telling my friends what to tell my mom if I die and everything, I keep worrying myself and over thinking and crying because I'm so scared
just to let you all know, this happens for NO reason at all . NOTHING triggers it . i will be on my computer on facebook and i will feel my throat like a lump is there and my heart beating fast.
this has been going on for about a year and a half now. out of NOWHERE, for NO REASON, not cause i'm stressed or something happens, but just for no reason, my chest starts to hurt, i feel like i can't breathe, i'm gasping for air, i start crying hysterically, my heart is beating fast i can feel my heart beat in my neck and i start getting really nervous, my stomach hurts, i feel like my throat is closing up, i have to constantly check my throat in the mirror to make sure it's not getting any smaller and i keep drinking water to make sure it goes down, my head starts hurting so bad and it feels like my brain is swollen (new symptom, just recently added to my "attacks") and i feel numb on my hands and feet, i see somewhat blurry, and i feel non existant. i feel like i'm in a different word like i'm high on drugs it feels like i smoked a whole bunch of weed.
i go to to the hospital thinking i'm going to die, i'm 100% sure at this moment something is wrong with me, only for the doctor to tell me it's a panic attack and that i must be stressed out about something, when i'm not. not at that moment, anyways.
this happened almost every night for about two months straight. i wasted so much insurance going th the hospital and from doctor to doctor all the time.
it went away for almost a year .. i'd get them for a few minutes every now and than but it was nothing serious.. until it recently (these past 3 weeks) they've been coming back.. really bad.. and now for the past 3 days i'm soooooooo super tireddddddd. i've been sleeping 18 hours a day and waking up every couple hours gasping for air with a horrible pain in my head, but being too tired to care. i asked my mom to take me to a sleep doctor because i'm paranoid and think i have every disease in the world, and she just told me to relax that i'm just tired, and i started hysterically crying and not being able to breathe. right now i'm super tired even though i just woke up from a 3 hour nap and had a 12 hour sleep throughout the night, and i'm super numb and feel non existant with a horrible headache, feeling like my brain is swollen. and now my throat feels like it's closing up AGAIN, all day today.
is this an anxiety disorder? where should i go for help? is this serious? am i dying? what doctor do i go to? i really am scared and everyone brushes me off like it's nothing, but they don't feel what i feel. i really feel like i'm gonna die.
I can't keep going to the hospital. My mom is starting to just think I'm crazy and telling me I need therapy. I can't blame her, she loves me and cares about me but it must stress her out too. I've been to the hospital and doctors over 30 times in the past two years and they all say the SAME thing, it's in my head and i'm having a panic attack. What is she supposed to do? She doesn't know How I feel.
Yahoo Answers is the only help I can get right now.

Okay this is not normal. Why didn't the doctor help you? Did they not believe you? That happened to my little sis. She was puking for no reason and doctors thought she was making herself throw up. It took her throwing up on the doctors shoes to get him to believe her. I want you to get help from a doctor and mom. Don't let the doctors say there is nothing wrong with you there may indeed be! I want you to relax and try to find a answer. I found this online. Maybe it will help you.
Question:
My throat closes up for no apparant reason and I can`t breath. When I try to get air in all I can make is a horrible wheezing noise. Right before I almost pass out, my throat begins to relax enough where I can get a little air in. Then for about 30 minutes I have a terrible time with coughing. My throat and chest hurts for the rest of the day. This has happened off and on for about 5 years. Normally, it happens when I am swallowing food, (no particular kind). Two days ago I woke up in the morning with my throat closed. That is the first time it has happened when I was asleep. It seems to be happening more and more.
Answer:
You are describing laryngospasm. This is an involuntary closing of your vocal cords in response to some irritant. This condition is not infrequently encountered in the operating room when patients are awakening from anesthesia. The anesthesiologist has many medications and techniques available to break this reflex.
In your situation there are usually two common causes. The first is anxiety and the second is acid reflux. In some cases the two problems are seen together. Given your history, acid reflux sounds likely. One of the interesting features about acid reflux affecting your voice box is that many people never report strong histories of heartburn or indigestion. Some do have acid problems and/or hiatal hernias. Typically, people with acid reflux affecting their throats will complain of frequent throat clearing, mucus draining into their throats (commonly thought of as sinus drainage), some hoarseness, cough and maybe some trouble swallowing. I suggest that you see your medical doctor to discuss this further. A visit with an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor is also a good idea to make sure that there is nothing more serious in your throat or voice box causing your symptoms. Good luck.
I'd focus on your throat though. When your throat closes you probably scare your self into doing those other things.
I seriously want you to get better. I hope you'll be okay.....
