I don't get panic attacks so much any more (I've had one or two mild ones in the last 3 or 4 months), but I do have a constant anxiety in some form or another. I think that's worse really, at least when I just got panic attacks I had some relief from them for a while.
Most symptoms I believe can be relieved by proper nutrition/health. And keeping your mind on other things other than anxiety. My anxiety was a lot worse before I started carefully feeding my body. Hope everyone can experience the relief!
I too get the hearing go faint, usually it is just one of my ears and kind of feels like I have something in it, or like I am listening through a wall or something. I also am getting the following and beginning to wonder if all my symptoms are anxiety related:Quote:

Swellings on my bottom lip, kind of like hives, but usually just one small lump that goes away after a few hours.
Weird sour taste in the back of my throat, despite not eating anything to cause the taste.
Diarrhea / constipation, feeling like I constantly have to go to the bathroom.
Abdominal cramps, low in my abdomen, sometimes on one side, sometimes the other, sometimes in the center.
Lower back aches.
Poor sleep – I am lucky to get 5 hours a night.
My hands shake.
My legs twitch and shake (mostly overnight).
Occasional chest pain, feels like it is not quite at the bottom of my rib cage, goes all the way across, sometimes one side only. I thought heartburn, but I get it at weird times (as in, nowhere near a time I have eaten.)
I am sure there are others, but that is all I can think of at the moment. I feel as though I am under a huge amount of stress both financially and personally. I have had some of these symptoms for years (and have always had a restless, unable to relax type of personality) , but others only more recently, and a lot of them I can trace back to being laid off earlier in the year. I am going to make a doctor’s appointment, but even that adds to the stress as I do not currently have medical insurance, so worry about the cost of the initial visit, then worry that if they think I need to have further tests about the cost of those etc.
my list is
chest pain
dizzy
ibs
fear of inpending doom
can not eat
wake in panic
shaky hands
sometimes nearvous energy some times none
I am glad this one was posted,this is so me..

This question is for women, please answer if you can. I have pain in my left arm, shoulder, it feels like my left breast hurts too. Anyone can relate to that??? Thanks
hi
I have had this for the last 5-6 years. I convinced myself it was breast cancer but was too scared to go to the doctor. I went to an osteopath instead to deal with back/neck stiffness and mentioned it to him, and he said that had had another patient with the same thing. Apparently it is just a reaction to the back problems/muscle stiffness that can result from continuing anxiety.
I wonder if someone can ready my post titled Health Anxiety? This is an everyday occurence with me and I can't shake it.
