[quote=Anonymous]NP here - I could write your post. Please before you start any antidepressants/anti anxiety meds, make sure you get a full metabolic panel done, including thyroid levels and Calcium levels. I was having severe anxiety, panic attacks, heart palpitations, tachycardia, depressive episodes. Couldn't sleep, waking up at night with anxiety and tremors and racing heart. Fatigue. Irritability. SSRIs and Benzos didn't help. It turns out that, after YEARS of this and being misdiagnosed, I had elevated blood calcium levels, and was then diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism. A disease, which can mimic a lot of other issues ESPECIALLY anxiety and depression. I write this to hopefully help one person, since I wish someone had helped me. I have been suffering for years. Am now getting a parathyroidectomy later this month, and am praying this will end the nightmare. Please get your calcium and thyroid levels checked first! I wish I had!!![/quote]
