Hi, I am a sufferer of Extreme Anxiety. I need some confirmation, so I don’t feel like I am dying! Does anyone else have symptoms of like tingling internally through arms and legs, a full throat feeling like something is stuck, constant neck tightness or issues, fighting to get to sleep for several hours each night and the worst of all, feeling dizzy like you need to close your eyes and chill out. When I get up from sitting I feel dizzy, when I am just sitting I feel it as well. Just on and on weird symptoms. Please tell me others out there have this. I don’t want it to be my Heart.
You’re not alone!
I have constant tingling/weakness in my arms and legs. I feel dizzy and lightheaded all the time! Anytime I stand I feel it and what scares me about it is that I don’t feel like I’m having anxiety when it happens. But I do know the throat tightness and feeling as if something is stuck is a very common symptom of anxiety. I think anxiety can cause crazy things to happen to your body and because we have such extreme anxiety, we focus on these things more so than someone without anxiety would, they would just blow these things off while we concentrate on them and panic. But I do know how you feel, trust me I do believe it’s anxiety related.
Sounds like classic anxiety symptoms. If you read other posts you will see how common they are.
I had numerous symptoms all at once in my twenties. They were 24/7.
Dizziness, throat tightness, tingling, stiff, sore neck muscles, heart palpitations, weakness,etc
The key is to calm down your mind to diminish the symptoms. The more you stress about it, the more symptoms you will have.
I listen to meditations on you tube for anxiety, sleep, etc every night and they totally calm down my mind and body and symptoms.
Theres great ones for sleep.
They distract you and you focus on the meditation. I fall asleep before it is over because it’s so calming!
Theres also great nature sounds for sleep.
I do suggest that you get a good checkup by your doctor so you can have peace of mind.
Hang in there.
Get counseling for severe anxiety or depression. It helps!
You are not alone!,❤️❤️❤️😁
Hi Joshua, can i ask if you are on any medications? Is there any consistency to these waves or are they random?
I find that when I’m extremely anxious, moving around seems to get the heart pumping and those nasty chemicals that cause our anxiety start to circulate, making the symptoms worse. Sitting still is never as bad. However we have to get up and move around to get things done but know that symptoms will settle down again when seated. That’s my personal experience of it anyway.
Having very similar symptoms at the mo. Had tests 12 months ago and xmas back clear. Are back now. Facial numbness, leg and arm tingling. Headaches. Neck tightness and like something is stuck is a new symptom and making me stress about it sooo much! Been having physio and acupuncture for neck ache and to treat pins and needles but it’s not been working.
A physio I spoke to recently said I need a neurological review and this has made me feel so much worse. I’m so anxious about it all and I think I’m driving myself crazy!
I have worse feeling today when I woke up I feel something in my body it’s start from feet and my eyes weird I mean tired and feel likes can’t open my eyes feel dizzy and one horrible thought can’t leave me alone like I’m dying every day I feel like I’m dying or I’m going to die don’t know what to do please give me some advice
