What do these symptoms sound like to you?!
Question: Ok here it goes! I have tightness in my chest, rapid heart beat, hot flashes, nausea/vomiting, stomach pain, no appetite at all and I feel terrified! I'm afraid of food poisoning, and I wont hardly eat anything because I'm terrified it will make me sick. I wake up feeling great, but then I tune into my body and wait to feel any slight thing that could possibly make me sick.... I've been diagnosed with major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. My doctor said he could no longer treat me and that I need to see a psychiatrist, problem is, I have to wait 2 months before they can get me in. So, does this sound like OCD, Anxiety, or hypochondria? Be honest, but please don't be hateful. I have a problem and I know I need help!

I think that your body is reacting to the anxiety. If you are constantly afraid of a sickness, your body can actually mimick the fear. An example is if you worry when your period is late and you think it might be pregnancy (when its almost impossible) your body delays everything.
Try to calm down and you will be fine. You are working yourself up.
Maybe a little hypochondria
what are you so flipped out for...sometimes it helps just to face it.....its anxiety,my nephew has the same symptoms..he works 6 days a week 65 hours a week...whenhe gets home on saturday, hes already thinking about monday....i know this may sound crazy, but get a book on zen..the whole concept is to live in the now..now is all you have. most people go thier whole lives thinking about the future...before you know it, life passes you by....im like this too, but i hate to admitt it.
that is most deffinetly anxiety disorer(or atleast the fear part).
about the chest tightness, that may be a panic attack.
sorry you have to wait so long before being correctly diagnosed.
Text book generalized anxiety disorder, assuming that you've been tested for all other possible physical conditions.
Learn to relax, and also get plenty of fresh air and sunlight. Try listening to classical music and joining a yoga class. I do not think you need a psychiatrist, but a psychologist to listen to you might be a good place to start.
