I have always been a worrier with a tendency to panic, have phobias.
In recent months I have had a succession of physical health scares that I've had a hard time solving. There has been a host of physical issues of various kinds which have made me feel anxious.
I was trying to tell in this case whether one of my physical problems may either being worsened by anxiety or largely caused by it.
I have a bent bone in my nose that causes a degree of difficult breathing. But it has been scanned and it shouldn't be causing the degree of problem I'm having breathing.
I've had anxiety before, but these problems are near constsnt even if in the most relaxed state where I'm not really focusing on the symptoms or worrying about them. Can that still be anxiety?
I had minor symptoms until recent weeks, where things have escalated...current symptoms regarding or related to breathing are...
Palpatations frequent, almost constant, even at rest
Frequent swallowing, every few seconds
Shallow breathing, as though blocked in chest or base of throat or nose
Feeling of stopping breathing when drifting off to sleep, forcing me to wake with a start
Breathing more difficult laying down
When waking, during the night or morning, a physical, visible and instant trembling, for about 10-15 seconds
Ocassional trembling at moments of high anxiety
General weakness
Slight dizzyness
I wondered with anxiety, can you have all such symptoms, even when otherwise relaxed and enjoying yourself? If feels more of a purely physical problem to me, however when I typed in my symptoms, anxiety was by far most frequently listed as a possibility.
However anxiety attacks are usually brief? Or can one have such episodes on a long term near constant basis?
