This where counseling could have been beneficial in helping you identify those things in your life that you could change in order to reduce stress and ultimately help reduce your anxiety.

Do you know some of the things that cause the anxiety to flare up?

I don't have any anxiety at all... I just still feel palpitations and chest pains that's all

Kobojunkie:
Treatment depends on what ails you and the degree to which it affects you.

And yes, with mental illness, no one can pretend when and if the problem will go away so you are typically told you might need to continue on the medication for life.

In many cases, people only require counseling to help them properly identify and handle triggers for their problem. I would suggest you ask the psychiatrist for additional information and why she didn't even prescribe counseling to help you handle whatever the cause of the palpitations or tremors.

By the way, what diagnosis did she give you?

Although she said it was Anxiety but with time the symptoms would wear off that it's not something to bother about. Fir now I can say that the symptoms are really depreciating but I need it to be cured totally
Can lifestyle changes suffice? If yes, what changes can I make?

Kobojunkie:
She didn't suggest therapy or counseling?

Nope. But have you faced it before?
The treatment you specified does it mean I'd be taking drugs for life?

Kobojunkie:
Your doctors are wonderful yet they haven't sent you off to see a psychiatrist still? Na to use you make money by giving you a barrage of tests them dey?

Abeg, book appointment with a psychiatrist and get on treatment so you can start experiencing peace of mind soonest.

Look instead for online tests for mental health to help educate yourself about your symptoms

I met a therapist and she said with time it would wear off. I just want to know the way people who faced it got cured.

Ammishaddai:
Let me state your symptoms:

Irregular palpitations

Insomina

Difficulty breathing

Tingling sensations in your legs and intense muscle pains in your arms

Sweating

Headaches

Inability to focus due to your eyes feeling like they are about to pop.

The only thing I feel is the irregular palpitations and chest pains.

Ammishaddai:
There is no cure , and don't let anyone deceive you . You can only manage it through Beta-blockers and antidepressants. Some doctors would recommend exercise and seeking psychological counseling, but it doesn't work

Okay... but I'm not sure I'm suffering from anxiety tho, I don't feel anxious or depressed.
Thanks anyway.

helinues:
You need to take care of your worries first

I have, I no longer think about it anymore but the symptoms are still present.

Ammishaddai:
You may be experiencing anxiety neurosis

How can it be cured please?
Thank you

Good day all, sorry for bringing this to this section I just believe I'd reach out to more people here.
It all started last year, I really worried so much about something then I started having difficulty sleeping, chest pains and insomnia, I have also resolved what I was facing but i keep experiencing these symptoms. I've been to different doctors. The symptoms have reduced a little tho at least I sleep better now but the chest pain and palpitations is still there, I've done ECG and checked my bp and everything is fine.

Please has anyone faced this before? Tell me how to resolved it permanently. What to avoid and what to take. I know there are wonderful doctors here please come to my aid. Thanks

Newguy999:
You should go for an electrocardiogram bro. To be certain. I hope you feel better now

Okay
Have you recovered? If yes, tell us your regime.

It's very bad, during my final exams last month most of the top guys( gee guys) in our class would always be the first to leave the exam hall, barely 15mins into the exams most submit empty sheets, imagine writing your final exams(degree exams) and submitting empty sheet. Nawa oh...
It only made it tougher for we that are struggling legitimately. Cause that sends a message the lecturers that we don't care about exams making them more strict in their marking.
God will help us.

Newguy999:
I am a guy, currently 22 years of age. For some time in the past I usually have occasional chest pains which comes and goes within 10 minutes. I thought it was as a result of my sugar intake as I consume soft drinks a lot with little or no exercises so I decided to cut down on my soft drink to no avail because I always end up going back to it.

Fast forward to sometime last month, I traveled to Europe to get a medical degree and when I got here, I started living on junk foods, KFC and McDonald’s as I could not cook. The chest pain came back one night and I decided to complain to my dad. Immediately I complained to him, I became conscious of it and I started fussing over it.

I went to google and everything I saw about pains in the chest always leads to cardiac arrest, stroke and dying. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, I was always trying to check my heartbeat every chance I get. My dad said it was due to the junk foods so I stopped junk foods and soft drinks as my cholesterol could be high. I still couldn’t shake off the horrible feeling I got whenever I checked my heartbeat.

I started having panic attacks and difficulties with breathing and always feeling tired. I eventually went for check up and my heartbeat showed a beat of 68 bpm. I got checked by a cardiologist, neurologist and an orthopedic doctor and they all said my vitals looked normal, blood pressure normal, blood oxygen level normal, blood sugar normal except for the orthopedic doctor who told me I had to fix my slouching posture.

It’s been a week after the check up but my life isn’t back to normal. I can’t keep complaining to my parents because I gave them quite a scare with my first complaint and I know they have their own life to live but I’m just scared, I live alone in my apartment here and I’m new so no friends yet.

Anytime I check my heartbeat it still feels irregular,I can’t enjoy the foods I use to love, I get scared of doing strenuous exercises like jogging because I’ve heard stories of people who collapsed while jogging, i don’t enjoy my sleep anymore as I read that most people with cardiac problems die in their sleep.

For a week now, I have been going for evening walks to keep fit and exercise and I only eat once a day. I eat 2 apples every day and I swallow a capsule of omega 3 fatty oil daily. The only protein I consume now is salmon or mackerel fish because of their heart strengthening capabilities.

I can’t focus on my studies anymore but I can’t complain because I don’t want to bother my parents anymore but I’m scared. Some nights I wake up with panic attacks and every morning I feel happy for sleeping and waking up successfully. I hate how flawed the human design is. Sometimes I get distracted but as soon as I feel any slight discomfort in my chest, I check my heartbeat and it feels irregular. There’s occasional sharp pains in my head that goes almost immediately and sometimes I feel blood throbbing through my veins in different parts of my body. Tomorrow I’ll be going out to get an apple series 6 watch so I can monitor my vitals better.

Sorry for the long read, I just had to let all of this out.

I suffered a similar thing last year althoughI was experiencing insomnia which made me more scared, I'm just a year older than you(23 years). The symptoms have reduced drastically from my own end but I wish to be 100%. Please, when you eventually get healed kindly post the regime. Thanks

if you find it hard to forget about her ,just go and register in a gym , trust me ,by the time you lift weights for 3days ,your brain will be so so occupy that it wouldn't even have the time to think about that lady

True
Weight lifting is very therapeutic, but people no no

MotivationKG:
Once any of your beloved girlfriend or lover recently gains admission into any higher institution,

Bro, she don go and she don belong to everybody in that school.

Most especially the year 1 students, dem dey always get that urge to taste university dicks in their first year.

Very true bro.
That was how a girl that made promises to me before gaining admission only for her to be disvigrined in less than a week in school.

I was really heartbroken cause I think I'm a little bit different, if I profess my love to anyone it has to be from the heart. And this was the first girl I really loved.
We move nonetheless

BassReeves:
Love, loyalty/faithfulness, dignity, integrity, kindness, morals, a good heart and a good character, are what makes a man/woman and also enable him/her attain sexual purity.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-9
'3For it is God’s will that you should be holy:
You must abstain from sexual immorality;
4each of you must know how to control his own body in holiness and honor,
5not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God;
6and no one should ever violate or exploit his brother in this regard,
because the Lord will avenge all such acts, as we have already told you and solemnly warned you.
7For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.
8Anyone, then, who rejects this command does not reject man but God, the very One who gives you His Holy Spirit.
9Now about brotherly love, you do not need anyone to write to you, because you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.'

Sexual purity, is to have sexual relations with someone you love and who loves you back. Sexual immorality, is having sex with who is not your marriage partner

Thank you so much

In a world where the sin of the flesh is so common, how does one attain sexual purity and what are the scriptural passages one could reflect on?

Help me with advice please

Good evening everyone
Please I know this is not the right section to post this but I believe here has more audience.

Please I need advice on the graduate internship jobs available for recent graduates cause I'd be done with school by August and I hope to start applying now so as to be among the "early birds".

Anyone that has done any graduate internship should help me out on this.
I really want to start building a portfolio for myself.

Discipline: Computer Engineering
Thank you very much in advance.

Emailonline042:
I have been a active member of this forum since 2013 but created this new account to seek for help because of the shame I have put myself.

The incident happened yesterday I Invited my girl to my house I took her to close bar at my place. So, after seeing Manchester match we went home to have fun. We started romancing and kissing when I decided to go down on her, to my greatest surprised my joystick refused to get hard.i tried all my best but no way. I felt disappointed and shame all over me.i decided to lied to her I was on drug that that's why and I will make things up with myself that next weekend will be great.
Throughout that moment with her she was not happy with me at all. I know that I have I lost her because through our chatting she likes sex very well.
Note: she is the first girlfriend I ever had though I have female friends close to me and I have had sex 2 times during that period my joystick didn't
failed me like yesterday and I didn't last long. I watched porn and masturbated for 9 years but I have stopped it three weeks ago and decided to have girlfriend to start enjoying it real but I don't know where it went wrong.
I need remedies for this, I want to get my sexual life back.the returning match is next weekend and I don't want to Bleep up again
Trolling is not allowed abeg
Thank you

OP, how was the returning match

princemillla:
My brother I was a victim of this too sometimes last 2years

I later found out mine was caused by over thinking. I have decided to make my self happy even if situation hard. But best best is he should visit hospital for check up.

Bro, you're right Overthinking causes a lot of things
I had a case this year, I was extremely worried about something then I discovered I started having palpitations and sleepless nights, It got me so worried again, I went to the hospital yet they couldn't discover what was wrong. Then I talked to a therapist and she counseled me. From then I started interacting with friends and increased my social life and by the grace of God I'm healed.
I'd just advice the OP to speak with a Therapist, Priest or a Pastor
God bless us. Amen

Mods please help me do the needful so others could learn. Thanks

If you are not too proud, shy or self-deceptive to tell the Truth about how it started, I will tell you the solution that I discovered after 18 Solid years of passing through this wicked self entrapped Punishment. I did several HIV tests which always came out Negative, at a point I wished they should just tell be I have it so that I could start AntiRetroviral. My Problem started in 1999 when I had sex with a particular girl that has been used and demonized by her Alhaji Sugar Daddy. I thank God for finally giving me Freedom from the Energy sapping Demonic Sickness in 2018. It was hell living with what Medical Authorities acknowledge they don't even understand, they say it is too strange and can never be cured, they term it CFS: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I always almost shed tears whenever I look back at wasted years sleeping unnecessarily because of unexplainable tiredness, almost a whole wasted Lifetime. I thank God that I'm now fully a normal Human Being once again! Such a good feeling to truly be and feel fully alive! Now, tell me the girl you had Sex with that passed it to you, I will never reveal to you how to be permanently Free from it unless you reveal this.

Sir, please reveal the solution some peeps are passing through one problem or the other due to having sex from possessed individuals, please for the sake of op and others facing this issue tell us the solution. Thanks

Men, so many people posting different things
Op, I just have 3 advice for you
1. Go to the hospital, it may not be a serious issue
2. Hit the gym, focus on fitness and diet, it balanced several hormones in the body
3. Always pray, if you're a Christian I'd I'd advice you read 2 to 5 chapters of psalms every night before sleeping.
If you follow my advice above you'd surely thank me in 3-6 months to come
Remain blessed

Thanks all

God bless you for this

1. Pride goes before a fall
2. Sometimes things happens to us that we don't understand but in the long run is all for our good.

Been through a lot tho
God is in control

Please I planned on eating fruits once in a day, should it be in the morning (like the first the I'd eat to start my day) or in the night (like the last thing to eat before going to bed). Which is better?
