tarun829 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 What is that feeling called, which you get in your heart (literally) when you are having an exceptionally bad day (emotional stress) while you are clinically depressed?Is it also called anxiety, because I have experienced GAD & I feel that both are distinct??I need to know because I have to tell my doctor about it.

Resolute Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 you beat me to it victim,if that's what he's referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarun829 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Panic attack or anxiety attack is again distinct from this because it is severe anxiety or anxiety at its worst. What I am talking about is what you can even experience while going through your day or while brooding over it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resolute Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 heartache? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarun829 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Yeah, probably heartache because you feel it mostly in your heart. But what would the proper medical term for such a condition be? I would like to be more exact when I have to describe it to my doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malign Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 My suggestion is to just describe it to him. Having us try to guess a name for it is just going to limit the possibilities that he considers.I've had panic attacks when I didn't even realize, consciously, that I was worrying. Don't rule them out too quickly. Anxiety and depression often go together. (I could tell they were panic attacks because when I made an effort to calm myself, they went away, which made me realize that I must not have been calm before. It is possible for a state of anxiety to start to seem like a person's "normal", if they're anxious most of the time.)But, you're the one experiencing it. About all you can do is describe to the doc what's different about it. Get whatever tests he suggests (it helps with the anxiety), and let the doc decide.

tarun829 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I have mention it to my doc who is not a psychiatrist or psychologist (homeopath actually).Is there really something called broken-heart syndrome. Coz this could be it. I just realized I am such a sucker for the exact medical term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resolute Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 i don't think heartache is a medical condition,it's just sorrow and despair.you can call it intense sadness if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resolute Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Is there really something called broken-heart syndrome. Coz this could be it. I just realized I am such a sucker for the exact medical term idk,but if there is,most of us would have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malign Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 If you feel broken-hearted, then I would say, call it that.It's not a syndrome, though; it's a normal way that lots of people have felt.Which means, it's survivable.Homeopaths are people too; I'm sure they've heard of it.

tarun829 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I think I will go with maligns suggestion and just let my doc do the hardwork of finding out exactly what it is that I have.
