strange pains and anger

[Gaz28]

hi all, just wondered if anybody else suffering anxiety gets weird twitching of the eyelids and pains in the hands? anybody know what causes it? also, I keep losing my temper really easily and getting angry for the slightest of reasons. can anxiety cause this? anyone?

Yeah, I've been known to get that eyelid twitching in the past. Aches and pains as well...I believe alot of these types of things can be attributed to adrenaline.

I lose my temper easily as well, when my anxiety is very high, I am always on edge and VERY irritable. I feel awful for my boyfriend as he is usually the one who takes the brunt of it! But yes, being quick to anger and irritability is a very common side effect pf anxiety.

Yes, I have the same problem. My eyelid, area between my thumb and forefinger, and on rare occasions, between my big toe and 2nd to biggest toe will twitch. I think it's stress related. annoying as hell! Chest pain and headaches when Angry instead of Anxious, I think the emotions are interchangable.

Yeah I get the twitching sometimes, eyelids and thumb as well as foot from time to time as well.

I find that when I feel anxious I am snappy with people and loose my temper quicker as well. I think its because your already on edge and so quicker to fire up.
