headaches, fatigue, aches and pains, general shaking, nausea (main symptom) retching
instead of posting such list shouldn't we just say: it's pretty much everything?
:P
My doc said anxiety can make you walk sideways...
WOW!! That list at the top is one long MF isnt it? Ive had EVERY symptom listed there over the years. Great fun innit?
:oops:
WOw! This list is so helpful! I can try to start attributing my symptoms to anxiety instead of a horrible disease.
I have this on occassion. When it happens it's VERY distressing and the 'aftershock' of it can last for hours. It makes me afraid to go to sleep again.Quote:
I would be just resting and it would seem like i was practically asleep but slightly awake, but couldnt take back control of my body and i would get this strange rushing feeling and i would wake up in a gasp all freaked out !
Ive had it a few times only when im laying down or trying to get to sleep, anyone know what that is ?
From a book I learned these are nocturnal anxiety attacks. For months I thought it was sleep apnea.
Hi all,
first post here, bear with me if this is repeated somewhere else
The symptom I have had that is most prevalent in causing anxiety- is my mind's way of tricking me into believing a NEW symptom (currently chest pains and severe indigestion) is NOT part of the anxiety, therefore causing me to be MORE anxious.
So, for example, I get a symptom of light headedness. I google, search, and check that this is caused by anxiety, not illness. Convinced of this, my anxiety decreases and eventually goes away.
My mind then goes "aha- thought you could outmanuvere me did you?" and comes up with another symptom I haven't had before- such as chest pains-- and then I'm like, sh*t, what if????
And the dance continues...
This happens to me as well - new symptoms pop up on an almost daily basis, or the 'flavour' of them changes so I start worrying about them, convinced this is the final proof that there's something physically wrong with me. :cranky: Annoying and exhausting!Quote:

For me, it's the heart also, constantly worrying that every time I feel something in my chest that I'm going to have a heart attack and die or my heart is just gonna go "pfffft" and stop. I KNOW it's the anxiety but I still panic and it brings on more symptoms, more chest pains like the twitches, the racing heart beat when I stand or even walk to the bathroom (I'm healthy and fit, I usually exercise daily), the "drop" feeling, the tension, the pressure. Headaches, are pretty common too. I also lately get nausea and lack of appetite. I've also experienced the "stuck in the sleep" stage where you're conscious but you can't wake yourself up, and when you finally do, you're scared crapless, it happens rarely but I usually have trouble sleeping for the next week. I feel better now though knowing that other people with anxiety experience it. Thank you for posting this list and for everyone's responses, you don't know how much it can help just to read that you're OK.
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.Quote:
