I've been having really severe anxiety the past few months especially. My thereapist says i'm one of the most anxious ppl she's seen, which i'm not sure about that. I am determined to fight my anxiety without meds but it is very hard with the symptoms i have.

-really severe muscle tension, can't relieve it at all
-headaches
-unsteady feeling feels like no circulation coming to head when i'm standing
-lately i've had tons of strange thoughts racing in my mind
-eyes seem out of focus and see floaters all the time

I feel so out of control. I know if I could keep focused it will pass. I've been for eye exams, physicals, and even a brain mri for the headaches which came back normal. It has to be anxiety, right...

Help

Hi guys,

I am a 26 year old male who enjoys going to the gym 5 / 6 times per week, have a stressful job and am getting married on August 15th of this year.

In November I was on the tube and came over all faint and started to have chest pains and slight shortness of breath. Of course I took myself straight to hospital thinking I was having a heart attack. Had ECG and blood test and urine test and blood preasure taken and all came back fine. Since then I have been feeling anxious and have been suffering with chest pain mainly where my heart is located and I am worried that there is something physically wrong with my heart all the time which is scaring me.

Since this first happend I have been back to the hospital for 3 ECG tests and all have been fine. However when the ECG test was taken I wasn't having the chest pain. I have also had a 24 hour ECG monitor fitted to me which also came back fine. In addition I have had pain in my left arm and cramp in my left hand.

I get these symtoms even when I am not feeling stressed or anxious!

Is anyone else experiencing the same? Is this the physical effects of anxiety?

Thank you so much for your help

wow i get some pain on the left side of my chest and some cramping in my left arm and im only 24, but last monday i had a horrible panic attack and its the first time i went to the ER for it. They did an EGK or whatever and they said it was normal, blood test came back normal, blood pressure was a little high but they said it could of been from the attack. So that was like a huge relief for me.

Sounds exactly like me! except i dont get frequent headaches or muscle tension. Because i suffer with health anxiety it kills me when i have symptoms as i always think the worst. Its so hard not too :( But i guess we just gotta keep on pottering along :)

I have had my jaw literally clamp shut before, and been rendered completely unable to speak for serveral minutes, even if I wanted to say something.
And other things "seize up" as well, like my legs, so I can't walk.
Or my arms to the sides of my body and it feels like they are really heavy and I can't move them. But thats really rare, and only when I'm having a full blown panic attack.

Everything else seems to be on the list already.

I get heart palpitations sometimes and then a rush of blackness into my eyes like i'm blacking out.
I suppose that would be fainting, wouldn't it?

I also stop eating for long periods of time when things are making me anxious.

And vomit.
But that is mentioned.
