Yes Cobweb, I used to suffer from headaches and back pains. Not much anymore.
Does anyone suffer from tension in head, ringing in ears, and leg weakness?
I've had them all before. Excessive stress and negative thoughts can create all sorts of symptoms and issues.

As of late, my anxiety has gotten to the point that I feel unable to even speak (as If there is anybody trying to call/Skype me anyway). With that said, I'm finding my voice is getting extremely weak and shaky to the point that I would rather just stay 'muted', and this was never something that was a problem before.
I've seen this happen to others I used to know (ages ago), but never actually thought it would happen to me; but it indeed has.
I don't go out all that much anyway anymore, but when I do, I speak a little as possible because its just mortifying when people notice this.
Not much anybody could offer for advice in reality, but figured I'd just get this out in writing (of course).
I can relate to surfside I too am starting to feel like I don't want to speak it's gotten so bad where I don't want to leave the house.
Wow, incredible list.

You need to push yourself to get out of your comfort zone. The less you do and achieve in your day to day the more you empower your anxiety and the harder it will be to overcome it.

My teeth chatter uncontrollably as if I were cold but I am not. This has happened now twice and I lived through it so I guess it's just another crappy symptom my body is subjecting me to
Very much so! Sometimes you shake as if your cold but your not? I had that issue until my meds started to kick inQuote:

wow that really is a lot of symptoms!! ive had quite a few of them!
total number is scaring, it's hard to imagine that someone experiences everything at once
Has anybody ever experience mood swings between elation/relief (everything is going well) and extreme anxiety? I seem to function on these two extremes lately. Feelings may switch multiple times during the day.
I have had many of these symptoms over the years. I've suffered from bad anxiety. I read a book that has helped me almost eliminate my weird symptoms completely. It's called "Hello Happy & Goodbye Worries" and I think it's by the author Kate Love. You can find the book by searching Amazon for that title.
I've heard this book has helped many sufferers get rid of their weird anxiety symptoms & it definitely has helped me come a long way!
It's amazing how similar symptoms can be with people who suffer from anxiety. When I first went to my Doctor and had to explain to him how I was feeling, I didn't think I'd be able to describe it correctly and that what I was describing was unique and he might not understand it. After going through some tests to make sure that I wasn't dying from a heart attack he said that I was suffering from anxiety. I remember thinking..Anxiety?!?! but what about these physical feelings I'm having? How can anxiety cause me to feel like i'm about to have a heart attack. After doing some research and reading other peoples symptoms,I was extremely surprised on how similar everyone else's symptoms where to mine. It feels good to know I'm not alone because you do have thoughts of being crazy and alone when going through something like this, especially when people around you tell you "just don't worry".
Only sort of got on to the fact I was having anxiety problems recently, after I was just not feeling myself but was diagnosing myself with all kinds of serious conditions etc..
my symptoms have changed last couple of months, to begin with I was having a lot of trouble concentrating in work, and couldnt keep my legs still, I then had 2/3 weeks worth of being unable to get to sleep-, vision problems etc
Now more recently ive had bad back and neck pain and a sort of numbness feeling in my arms and legs, aswell as constantly being tired
My husband and I even call them "a marathon". I even have to take a nap from exhaustion from the racing heart and impending doom.
I just want to say Thank you for all the wonderful info and help I have gotten today from reading every post in this discussion. I have been to numerous doctors and off course nothing is wrong with me....now I am going to beat this with every ones help. :)
If there's too much anxiety going on in my head, I definitely get headaches and my muscles get sore. I think once I felt so anxious I literally fell ILL for one week. That was back when I was engaged to a woman with 3 toddlers, LOL.
hi ! i am new here...to the site...to all of this actually
i apologise if i am writing the wrong place, but can you guys answer me whether or not confusion , not being able to think strait is one of the simptoms of anxiety ?
i've been diagnosed with anxiety for a year now, it comes and goes, but i particularly find it hard cu think strait, or answer questions even though i am sure i know the answer to...to access information...
today my anxiety was triggerd by an incident...while talking with a friend, trying to make plans, i switched saturday for sunday(i realised my mistake eventualy)...i was so embarrassed...i seemed to be fine and all of a sudden...i felt like i was chocking and was going to die of dementia ... my concern is that i was fine BEFORE , i was not anxious to have triggered the panic i felt...
the other day, my husband said grandma was leaving town for the day. later on, i asked where she was, my husband reminded me she left....and anxiety again! i remembered exactly the place i was when he said she was leaving, what i was wearing, nuts right??? i remembered him telling me, but why did i ask about her if i knew the answer? i cannot seem to acces information when i need it ! does that happen to anyone else?
could anyone help me with answers? i had neuro consult, says i'm fine (said i was fatigued), i don't take medication , just trying methods to control everything, but sometimes i get confused , i try to remember everything...it cannot be normal to find my jeans in the sock drawer, could it? i don't remember putting them there, never have done that...please help ! do i need to get further testet? is it just lack of concentration ? or the fear of being wrong ? do i put too much pressure on myself ?
thanks for reading this , i await anxiously :p your thoughts
This is a good list for anyone going through a difficult time with their anxiety. We all know that our anxiety can come and go in waves, sometimes lingering for a month or so until we're able to cope again and float with it. Reading this, reminds me that all these feelings are normal, and that, my anxiety will soon fade.
hello everybody, am new here and have been having many symptoms 24/7 for the last 3 months which the doctors have said is health anxiety. most are on the list but two that worry me are nearly everytime I stand up from a seated position I go very unsteady, and even walking at a slow pace for me is a task at rhe minute I constantly feel Im about to collapse. im only 25 and before this hit was very active but have become sedentary. am interested to hear if anyone else has had anything similar
Thanks, it's great to know them to stay alert, but it's important not to obsess over them!
My list so far....
Racing thoughts all day long
back of arms chest and back burning off and on all day. (feels like its under the skin)
Tunnel Vision
Feels like I'm out of my body sometimes or that
Lost time from thinking
sore neck and back
stomach goes crazy
back of head and neck stiffness
left cheek pain
jaw pain and stiffness. feels like its cold
skin feels wet
lower back pain
eyes red
trouble sleeping or even ever being relaxed
can not concentrate at work anymore
tired
weak
irritable
constant tremors inside my chest/stomach
shaking
this list sucks. and i probably forgot things. but I hope in my hearts its anxiety and nothing else. so that's what i stick with.
Hey there Danny. I'm Michael. I'm 25 too and I have been feeling like this a lot lately and have been diagnosed with anxiety that I got from smoking cannabis.Quote:

Hope this helps ya by showing ya that there is others like yourself suffering the same thing and it's related to anxiety.
Best of luck mate.
I have experienced many of these symptoms. The most fearlful one for me is the thought of going insane. I have a son I love dearly and although I'm not a violent person, I think about what causes the parents you hear about in the news snapping and doing the awful things they do...Although, I'm very level headed in most cases, when I'm having my anxiety symptoms I worry that I might just snap. It's a terrifying thought to have. Then he comes walking in the room with his beautiful smile and I know I would never, but the feeling of not being in control is unsettling.
I'm sorry you feel this way! I, myself, have health anxiety that started a few months ago. Perhaps, if you got peace of mind by going for a check up and talk to your doctor about any symptoms. Sometimes, just hearing that you are ok is relief enough. I'm going for a visit myself tomorrow. Good luck!Quote:

omg...the fear of going insane...like I am gonna "lose it" then the pressure in my head...can't concentrate, focus, fear based big time.....spaciness....like i am gonna start screaming and never stop....thats the stuff that really scares me....all the trauma i went through, i couldn't scream then, so its like my inner child wants to scream during attack.......this is hell..literallyQuote:

I can relate many of them with my...
I could cry right now. I finally found other people who go through this. Thank you god.
Going through this right now with my legs/feet/arms! It's one of the worst symptoms I've ever had, a cold/wet sensation on the skin. Sorry you've been through it but at the same time I'm glad I'm not the only one. Is this really that uncommon a symptom because I rarely see people complain of it.Quote:

I have been having the most debilitating chest pains the past few months. I have left work twice and school once to go to the doctor because it was unbearable. Yes, I get pain in both of my arms, especially the left, my heart, my chest, lungs, diaphram, neck, jaw, throat, mouth, head, etc constantly, every day. It comes on before I start to panic, which the doctors say "sometimes your body knows you are panicking before you do." I feel like I have my anxiety more under control now, but the chest pains have become much worse. Constant and like the wind is being knocked out of me... I hope this helps.Quote:
