Hi Candra
I am sorry that you are going through all of this. Do you think there is something medical going on? Have you seen a doctor about your symptoms? Are you taking anything to help you to sleep?
My suggestion is to get some help at this point if you are feeling that your symptoms are interfering with your day to day functioning. I would start with your general practioner and perhaps he or she can refer you to a therapist if needed.
I wish I could give you better advice than this but I do think you will need professional guidance for what you are dealing with.
Thank you for your question.

Hi, Candra. I agree with Merely Me and also want to say that no matter how you feel about abortion, it's a traumatic experience that can leave you with the symptoms you're experiencing, and you've had this happen twice. Try to find a therapist who specializes in grief and trauma and I think you'll be able to find some relief from your anxiety. There are medications that can help, but I think therapy along with that could get to the cause and resolve it. Best of luck to you.

hi candra, your not alone, im a 28 yr. old and i was so surprised to hear/see that some one else had these symptoms. I just can't believe it's triggored from the abortion, i mean i do believe it but hard to understand. I also had an abortion, 6ths later got pregnant and had my baby. I went through ugly post partum, uncontrolled crying for no or any reason.. was put on pills for 3 mths. I did feel better , yet during the pregnancy and NOW i have those palpataions and anxiety! ummm yeah my suggestion is to see doctor if you and hopefully you can economical way, i haven't b/c of the economical issue and my bf isn't supportive at all so i've just stuck to praying and continued crying and hiding it..but yes defenately visit doctor..
