Booms in the chest

My symptoms start 2-3 days after my last pills.

I have Zaps with pops, and whoosh effect to.

A lot of tiredness but i sleep well, thanx god!

But I have a sort of "boom" in the chest. Often, it comes just before a Zaps.

Did you feel the Boom too?

It was more often in the first 5 days of withdraw. And now it happen more in the evening, when i'm very tired.

Please, tell me that is a common symptom of withdrawal, then i can sleep on both ears with confidence.

I fear for my healty. I think I am becoming a hypochondriac

with all my respect, zygotte

edit: The emergency doctor told me that it can be extrasistolia.

Re: Booms in the chest

You've tapered entirely too fast and what you're experiencing are common w/d symptoms.

Re: Booms in the chest

Hi! I am feeling much better after 5 months paxil free... BUT my lingering symptoms and the ones that got WORST in the past were all chest related. Mostly, i had a burning and heavy sensation in my chest. Breathing was very difficult and i found myself leaning my back a little as if i was carrying something very heavy. I had bad palpitations and felt feverish. I still have chest pain but it doesn't burn anymore... it is just warm

Re: Booms in the chest

Could it be an adrenaline rush? To me, that always feels like a heavy chest sensation. Hate it!

Re: Booms in the chest

In my case, i doubt it is adrenaline rush. It has lasted for months and it stays for the whole day. Whatever way i feel in the morning, it only gets worse i work through my day. I really don't know what causes this but i too hate the feeling. It is a constant reminder of the problems i am still facing even when i feel better.
