Answers:
Depression affects your whole body, physically and mentally. Feeling like you are going to have a heart attack sounds like anxiety.

By healing the depression, the rest of the pain will heal. If it gets worse, you should talk to someone about getting medication.

edit:
If you have been taking your medication for a while and you still feel this way, you should go back to the doctor and try to find a better solution.
If you've just started, it should start to kick in.

edit:
i understand what you mean by something setting you off, but there should be a certain medication in which when something sets you off, you won't be affected. really, go back to the doctor and get tested, find a better medication.Health Question & Answer

When you feel like you are having a heart attack... it's actually an anxiety attack. I have them all the time. Just take deep breathes (as deep as you can I know it's had when you are crying) and try to relax for a few minutes. When the pain has gone away and you are calmer do something you love to do something that makes you feel good. Like listen to your favorite song, talk to someone who always makes you smile, yoga, take a walk, or just anything to take your mind off of things.

Please talk to your doctor about your anxiety because you may be on the wrong medication for you. Being on the wrong meds. can actually make your depression and anxiety worse. You and your doctor need to figure out what works best for you.

I hope I helped.

P.S Don't take Corinthos' advice because that only makes more emotions come out. Drinking is like the worst thing you can do.Health Question & Answer

Maybe it is side effects from the meds.?


Actually, the physical symtoms all have a reason.

For example, you will get sore because you might not notice but you will be sitting tensing up muscles and tiring them out due to worrying. So then you give yourself a sore back, sore head etc.
For your heart attack thing this could be from a few things but chances are that it's due to your breathing.

When you're worrying and depressed your breathing changes and it causes an imbalance in your body, leading you to feel dizzy, faint, ill etc. Try to find some breathing exercises to follow to help you calm down a bit and relax your tense muscles, it will help

There is a logical reason for most of the physical symptoms, and that means they can be relieved

I don't understand how depression ends up with physical pain, but it does. Doctors have done research on it, and apparently they now check for depression when a patient comes in with pain.

Are you 100% sure that *all* your pain is related to depression.? I get the heavy chest feeling from depression, but I get chest pains that aren't caused by depression, too. If you're not completely sure that all your pain is from depression, especially chest pain, go see a doctor.

Either way, you could probably benefit from seeing a doctor - you may find medication will help ease your depression.Health Question & Answer

I have been depressed since I was 14 and am now 22. It has never been too bad until the past few months. I've been going through a lot of tough times and lots of stress as well. There have been a few nights where I stayed up crying and other days when anything (a song, a movie, a phonecall) can make me really emotional. It is very draining of physical, emotional, and psychological energy. See your doctor or a counselor. There are options out there to help you feel better.Health Question & Answer

Mental illness can be tough and affect the body. Hopefully, the medication will kick in and help - or they can continue to search for the right combimation of medications.

In the meantime, maybe try relaxation techniques or deep breathing. Maybe get a message or and/or soak in the tub.

I'm in the same boat. I have nobody to talk to. I tried talking to my "mother" about yesterday and she reacted like I was trying to get her xanaxs or something. I didn't want her pills that have ruined our family since I was 17, I just needed to talk to my mom. I don't even have that. The anger I feel right now, nobody will ever know. For ONCE I wish she would just say "I love you" or anything.....I can't even talk about this anymore. Too many people bash on here and I'm truly hurting and don't need any more harsh words. Im sorry you're going through this. I truly am. Health Question & Answer
