Otb...
I rarely post on this board... Rarely... I mostly just read and gain tips on certain aspects of bodybuilding...
But listen, You are NOT alone... Just over a year ago, I was going through the same thing... Except I had horrible chest pains that made my lungs scream with pain every time I took a breath...
At first I thought I had a really bad case of the flu, but about a month later the symptoms were still there!!
I went to the DR. and he said the same bullshit yours did, said it was all in my mind OR a moderate virus in my lungs...
Another month went on, I had worst symptoms now... At this point in time, I thought I had pnemonia or another serious respitory infection...
These are the symptoms I had aquired..
-Chest pains
-Decrease in appetite
-Fatique/Drowsyness
-Joint pains
-Shortness of breath(everytime i breathed, it felt like I wasnt getting enough air)
-Horrible depression
-ALOT of panic attacks/was suicidal
-Thought life was over for me
And alot more where this came from.. Bottom line was I felt like complete SHIT...Had no hope in myself.. And to top it off, my doc was a complete ASSHOLE, who did not give a shit about his patients...
The Real Disease
Ok.. after countless vistits to the doc, I decided to do some research on the internet, And to my surprise, I saw that alot of other people shared the same symptoms I did... So after days and days on the web, I finally found out what I had on my own...
I had Anxiety disorder/Depression...
Heres how I got it... I found out I really did have a minor cold to begin with, but after watching a documentry on pnemonia/respitory infections, I began to think things upon me...
I gave myself the panic attacks and depression, From worrying about getting it in the first place(if that makes any sense at all).. Bottom line is.. I really didnt have anything wrong with me(my heart and lungs looked perfect in the xrays..)
So.. If you get anything from this passage, It is that you WILL be ok, And dont worry many others have been in your postion... Even if it ISNT anxiety disorder, if you stop worrying half the symptoms will dissapear.. I PROMISE
Hit me up on AIM at RockEspViper69 or PM me on IM... If you wanna talk more about it.. Im here for you man
But please... Just have trust and hope in yourself..Cuz trust me.. You WILL get Better
Sincerely,
Alex
