I am a female, 18 years old and 34kgs... What's wrong with me?!


Question: I am a female, 18 years old and 34kgs!.!.!. What's wrong with me!?
I cant sleep, eat or drink properly!.!.

When I try eating!.!. My throat and heart go into, somewhat like a Panic whenever i try and swallow!. My throat isn't sore and as far as I know there isn't any inflammation, as it has been occuring for a couple of weeks now!.!. The same thing happens when I drink; I am forced to have extremely tiny sips!.!.

When i try sleeping!.!. I have to have the light on otherwise I have like a panic attack!.!.

I dnt know how to explain it precisely, but it feels like, my throat is really tight!.!. and im having a heart attack or something!. It's really scary!.

I thought it could be caused because I am underweight!. I am unable to gain weight, i've always been very small!.

I have been in and out of doctors!.!. But no one has given me any answers, they think it could be panic attacks or anxiety attacks, but nothing is wrong in my life - But this!!!

So this is my desperate approach!.!. Im still only young! I shouldnt have to be dealing with this! Can u please help!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
They do sound like panic attacks, and you don't have to have anything "wrong" with your life in order to have them!. A person can be predisposed to anxiety, or have a subconscious issue that they aren't dealing with!. Even something as simple as school could be bringing on the anxiety!.

The doctors haven't found anything physically wrong with you to be causing these symptoms, so I would trust them when they say it is a panic attack and ask for a referral to a psychologist!. They can help you find ways to deal with the panic, and get a degree of control over it!. If the anxiety is so bad your doctor can prescribe medication to help (you don't have to be on the medication forever but it might help take the edge off)!.

I know it's hard in the middle of a panic attack to try and rationalise it, but try and breathe and tell yourself that it will pass!. A panic attack may feel like you are dying but this WON'T happen!. Again I know that in the middle of a panic attack your feelings tell you that you are dying and it is hard to control these thoughts, but this is where a psychologist would be able to help you with strategies!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like you have an eating disorder!.!.!.
Like underlying anorexia, which is like, you don't want to be anorexic and don't know it, but subconsciously your anorexic!. It's complected, but 34kgs is REALLY small!.!.!.
I'm 14 and 50kgs and I'm only just in the normal weight range (close to under) and you should really see a doctor!.
But I dunno!.!.!. I'm no doctor!.!.!. yet :)
Good luck and I hope you get better :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
