Post-natal anxiety symptoms

[Emmajf17]

I’ve been struggling really bad with my anxiety recently. I have a 2 year old and a 2.5 month old. Symptoms I’ve been getting are chest pain, lightheadednsss, racing thoughts, tingly hands/legs and a really bad fear that it’s something more serious. My doctor has assured me it’s what sounds like anxiety related chest pains. And I had bloods done yesterday to rule anything else out. My follow up appt is on Tuesday in 3 days. I’m still getting panic attacks in the meantime. Does anyone relate to this and Is there anything they do to help alleviate the symptoms? Would anyone recommend medications to help? As I will be discussing anxiety medications on Tuesday.

It does definitely sound like anxiety pains. Does it tend to happen at certain times? I've had this and always used to feel at night, once I wasn't busy and relaxing, that's how I knew it was anxiety. Hit me in a few different forms throughout the years, stomach cramps, sore throats etc. I don't have any advice I'm sorry, I (wrongly) just put up with it, this was a few years ago it's not so bad now. Everything will be fine I'm sure, your doctor will be able to help you but good on you for getting the help! Xx
