Sleep Apnea and Anxiety
I have a really stressful job and I am also a new parent. I was just diagnosed with sleep apnea and I will have to wear a breathing apparatus now when I sleep. I am worried about his as I hear they are uncomfortable, but I will not get one until next week. I am 33 and I am not overweight. I exercise regularly and I would say that other than a very high stress load, I have a healthy lifestyle (I do not drink to excess or use drugs). Is stress causing my sleep apnea. My doctor says he can’t find any real physical reason for it.
Read answer →Panic Disorder
Sometimes when I am in a public place like a mall I start to feel like the earth is moving under my feet, like a small earthquake and it makes me feel weak but it also makes me feel scared because no one else notices what I am feeling and now when it happens I just don’t say anything to anyone else because I don’t want to sound crazy. I just had a physical because I thought it was my blood pressure or something but everything is fine and I am only 32 so I don’t think I should be at risk for stuff like that. Is this some sort of sign that I am going crazy?

I don't know if this anxiety or not or what to call it but I am so scared to go to the dentist that I have not gone in 11 years. I am starting to have some loose teeth that are getting worse and worse but the thought of going to the dentist scares me to death. Is there some medication I can take or how do I get over this fear?

Read answer →Self Medicating Anxiety with Alcohol
My brother started having panic attacks last year. I was out of the country and was not aware of the seriousness of the problems he was having. Now he pretty much stays at home all day and drinks. He is not in good shape and he obviously needs to get help. I am confused about what kind of help does he need. He seems to be an alcoholic now so I think he needs to go to rehab. But since it was the panic that started things off does he need to get that treated first?

Can exercise make anxiety worse? I get panicky sometimes and sometimes after I exercise really hard and my heart gets pounding I get panicky feelings even though there is no reason for any anxiety.
Read answer →Social Anxiety Disorder
I have this problem where whenever I am in a public or social situation I get this feeling like I am pissing in my pants and I have to be constantly checking to see if actually is happening and actively trying to hold it in. It doesn't matter if I just went to the bathroom or not, I will get this same feeling again no matter what. It is very distressing and it's embarrassing. Is this a common thing? How do I stop feeling like this? I have been feeling like this for a few months now and t seems to be just getting worse.
