Recently, I have been having a feeling of general discomfort which also feels like fear or anxiety. During such episodes, I feel the need to sit down or lean against something.
My legs don't feel weak nor do I fall I if force myself to stand.
Any thoughts on what this could be? Is this similar to an anxiety attack? Does this mean that I have bartonella?
I have had 2 such episodes in the last week.
thanks in advance!

I think I have what you experience and I think it is Bartonella
racing heart, high blood pressure, feeling really bothered and no where to go (no way to calm down)
scary feeling
need to sigh
Wanting to jump out of my skin, very uncomfortable and feeling like something bad will happen to me, like a heart attack
(my left arm got real tense one time and my jaw always hurts, so I did not go to the ER - but they ghad done an EKG on my before on one of those episodes and it was clear)
sometimes I shake or my teeth start to chatter even if is warm
it can last for hours and it definetly comes on suddenly (sometimes with a stress trigger, sometimes out of the blue)
I also have the Bart streaks coming in on my legs and the sore soles and palms, night sweats, chills
and neuro-symptoms: dyslexia, double-vision, memeory loss, mood swings (lots of fear and anxiety and also anger), unable to concentrate very well
it's not fun
have been on minocycline for a week now and I think I may have herxed first and now am better
had waves of it coming every 5 days or so and the mino stopped one wave that I felt coming on and then it did not get as bad as before the abx
I have an LLMD now, thank God!
hope you get some help!

Wow Harmony you sound a lot like me. We have not attack Bart yet since I have so many other issues... hopefully soon though. Glad to hear you are getting some help!
