Anxiety Symptoms - The List

Wow wow wow! My constant debate in my head is, do I have a disease that is causing my anxiety or is it my anxiety causing disease? LOL Tough one.

My one question; Can anxiety cause the Uhthoff's phenomenon?

Thanks

Just when I think I'm getting better another symptom pops up. What I have right now is:

Gurgling in left chest area
Lack of sleep (Antivan is helping but if I don't take it I won't sleep the whole night)
Rapid Heartbeat over 100bpm
Pressure in head sometimes
Fear of fatal illness
Twitches at different parts of body
Almost constant need to burp sometimes
I'd say irregular heart beat or palpitations but I have my gf listen to my heart constantly

I've been holding up fairly well and there is even times in the day where I feel pretty good. Not 100% but I don't feel like my heart is beating out of my chest and my head doesn't feel clouded. Worst part was being at a friends house and seeing a commercial about atrial filibration and hearing about the possibility of those people having a stroke so that set me off as well. I had blood work done and my blood count is great. The only thing that came up a little off was my liver levels but the doctor believes thats from my weight gain over the past two years because I'm not a heavy drinker. Has anyone else encountered the gurgling in the left chest area? It just seems that sometimes though it comes up when I'm eating which worries me.

Yes My friend Music_lover..this is also a classic anxiety symptom, you sometimes do feel heavy pressure all over your body mostly in head & ear area, u feel as if you bp is shooting up or sometimes going down, also Ear pains & tinning sounds appear out of nowhere, this is because of a bit of pressure build up in your head, sometimes due to external air pressure or mostly due to excessive worrying thoughts, gently put your thumb on the ear opening & shake your ears like removing water from your ears and instantly your head or ear pressure will go away, the body pressure may happen due to stress & heavy physical exhaustion,
Don't worry my friend, the more you practice to ignore these and all the other symptoms the quickly they all will vanish...Cheers!!!!

Hives - typically only after I have been sitting, and only on the back of my legs/sides.
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.

Yes my friend Naiku...Even i get my sensations due to financial and work worries only, the negative thoughts of future without work and money aggravates the sensations, these thoughts are totally irrational as you know that you are pretty competent then those around you, But simply the anxiety takes over kills our confidence and makes us feel vulnerable, i got my 1st panic attack due to these thoughts only but i didn't give up i understood my anxiety cycle, understood that all these sensations are totally harmless(My test reports are all super normal) and Confidently done some of my best works during these 11 months of high anxiety,

Its all about getting your confidence back and doing your best, taking every task as a challenge and not problem and success happens if not, then you would have done your personal best!!!

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

Yes my friend Naiku...Even i get all of my High anxiety sensations due to thoughts of finance and work only...But its a learned process we have thought ourselves to get these sensations as soon as we start to worry about finance and work stress...The solutions is to find confidence in our abilities and performance and positively thinking that we are way better performers than most of the people in our own fields of work and deliver our level best every time we do our work as this will raise our confidence and also we gain respect from others....And about finance...No amount of money can make anybody happy in this world, the richest are the most anxious and insecure of maintaining and safeguarding their wealth, People who have adequate money and who have limited wants and desires in life are the happiest...Think about it my friend!!!

I didn't read all 16 pages but i am having a symptom the last 2 days. I keep having tremors. My whole body just shakes uncontrollably. I hope it's anxiety related.

Music Lover if you've never had problems with anxiety before, or if this experience is very unusual for you, I would recommend that you get it checked out. However, this is similar to things I, and I'm sure many others, have experienced when having an anxiety attack. But any time something like this happens out of the blue, it's always best to get it checked out, even if nothing is wrong with you, it's always helpful to have the peace of mind.
