Although she has not had a history of major psychiatric symptoms, she did mention several episodes of nervousness each time in response to major life transitions. The first episode was in high school when her family moved from New York to California. It was a very difficult adjustment for her. She missed her friends and for 3 or 4 months felt extremely nervous. She said that during that time she felt afraid to leave the house, although she did make herself attend school. She also said that when her parents left the house for an evening out she became increasingly anxious until they arrived back home. After a while, her anxiety seemed to go away. The second episode occurred when she left for college. She attended a school in Florida. She again felt extremely anxious and developed excruciating stomach pains, although even with multiple appointments to see a doctor, no explanation could be found. After several months, Barbaras stomach pains disappeared and she graduated after four years from college. She returned to California and found a job and apartment very close to her parents home.Four weeks ago, Barbaras father suffered a heart attack. He was in critical condition for two days, but continued to recover and is currently doing well. However, two days after her fathers heart attack, Barbara drove herself to the emergency room certain that her symptoms of shortness of breath and chest pain signaled that she too was having a heart attack. The doctor diagnosed anxiety and prescribed a limited prescription of diazepam. Barbaras symptoms disappeared. However, one week later, with no precipitating event, Barbara again suffered shortness of breath and chest pain while visiting her parents. Her mother suggested that she lie down and brought her a glass of wine to relax her. Barbara and her mother discussed the stresses in Barbaras job and that a glass of wine at the end of the day would be just what the doctor ordered. The glass of wine (or on particularly stressful days several glasses of wine) seemed to help. However, one month later Barbara began suffering stomach pains, shortness of breath and chest pains. Over the next three weeks, she was increasingly unable to work (because of the pain) and unfortunately, her doctor who ran a battery of tests was not able to identify any reasons for her symptoms.Click Here To Get More on This Topic
