can someone diagnose me...please? heart problems/disease or anxiety disorder?i am a 19 year old that has always been healthy no physical or mental problems and none in the family that i know of..worked out a few days a week until 2 years ago..but i cannot tell whether i am having heart or severe anxiety problems. have been somewhat of a substance abuser for awhile now...drinking a few days a week (most of the times very heavily), college student, use to use ecstasy tabs once a week or once every other week in high school, did cocaine for the first time a few months ago and have done it roughy once every 2 weeks since then (about .4g each time). also have been doing oxycontin and/or opanas off and on for a year, every day for the last 3 months to be precise except these past few days. ive always felt ive been a very anxious person, never being able to stand still aka fidgeting a lot especially my neck and legs. also as a young boy I would become so nervous in sex talks in middle school around the other girls I would freak out and pass out. about 7 months ago I was brought by a friend to the hospital after turning pale and panting and being in a frantic state, just told not to take a lot of adderall and deprive yourself of sleep again, which I havent. However this monday, not being able to buy oxycontin around here for a reasonable price and resorting to marijuana as well) and did it intermittantly throughout the day for 2-3 days. Then with friends on thursday night high as balls, I did a significant amount of the cocaine and told once of my friends to take me to the hospital because I couldnt tell if I was having a heart attack or panic attack; pressure in chest, sweaty palms, nausea and nearly passing out, as well as dialated pupils. The people in the ER just shot me up with someone and gave me a discharge paper on cocaine and different ways the heart can be affected, nothing referring directly to my case. Ever since then, still high almost the whole time, there have been flashes of that terror and pressure in my chest and fears i will have a heart attack when i sleep or will not wake up in the morning, and also feel very awkward in social situations with people unless under the influence of alcohol. However the past few days have been somewhat suicidal and depressed but also moments where im fine.
Can someone help? Is it my mind messing with me and a panic disorder, or do i really have heart/cardiovascular problems/blood pressure problems?
Thanks

You sound like you have anxiety, I have this too, and panic attacks make you scared of having a heart attack, dont worry its not your heart, but go and get something for the anxiety from the doctor :)

sounds like a panic attack. coke is famous for making you think you're dying when it's just a panic attack. quit snorting that sht. seriously, you are young, but you won't be young for long doing stimulants like coke and adderall. it ages you fast. be smart man. take lots of vitamin c (%rda isn't nearly enough) get enough vitamins and fresh fruit/veggies, exercise. find a nice girl to date. if you still can't handle the depression get on an ssri for a while, just not too long because they start causing problems after a while. get counseling. please don't ruin your life. go to some NA/AA meetings and see all the destroyed lives there, all the people in and out of court. they all started just like you, just a bit here and there to cope. that path leads to nowhere but regret.

It sounds like you have severe anxiety disorder, and likely clinical depression and that you have been self medicating for quite some time. This is is not the way to deal with this! Get to a doctor right away and get help. I doubt that you have a heart problem, but if you keep taking street drugs you will in very short order. If you want to die, just keep doing what you have been doing. If you want to live, start using you head, get to a doctor, and above all, drop the street drugs and quite self medicating. Brain chemistry is extremely fragile and if you stay on the path you are on you will become addicted and could do irreversible damage to your brain or even kill yourself. What you are doing is akin to trying to remove a brain tumor with a hand blender.
You are 19 for pete sake. Do you want to just throw your life away? Get to a doctor and if they won't give you proper treatment and/or counselling keep looking until you find a doctor who will.
I am pulling for you and praying for you!! Don't let me down. Get well, then get back this site and help others with what you learned.
