About 6 months ago I had my first anxiety/panic attack went to hospital everything checked out normal, few more attacks and hospital visits everything always came out fine. Now the last 2 months I have constant chest discomfort, numbness in forearms, and bottom half of my legs and sometimes in my cheek bones and jaw line. Blood test have all come back normal, good cholesterol, normal blood pressure, chest xrays came back normal. I am 25 years old female, over weight. scared doctors can be missing something and just writing it off as anxiety, and it only seems to be escalating. Also feel an itchy burn on skin sometimes. People keep telling me anxiety can cause all kinds of wierd symptoms, just terrified its something worse and I'm being miss diagnosed. Ive quit my job and lowered my stress to a minimum but as a mom can only eliminate so much, Anyone else going through this?
So sorry you are going through this. I don't know how to advise you. I will tell you that you are not alone.
Sounds like anxiety, we always think doctors have missed something, that it must be something worse and that we feel worse than anyone else. If you've had all tests back ok I would discuss being treated for anxiety with doctor and see if symptoms get better. Talk here often , it also helps. You won't feel as alone , and worried❤️
I have all the same symptoms you have listed above and more and it's making me depressed as I am a single mum 22, doctors keep putting everything down to anxiety and I too think there's something they have missed. It's taking over my life thinking I have some serious illness. I don't have no advice for you but your not on your own. I hope you feel better soon ❤️❤️❤️
I know the feeling, I can't even plan a summer vacation with my daughter because I'm scared to go far from home. I just can't convince myself anxiety can be this horrible.
I know how hard it is to accept that anxiety can cause so many physical symptoms... I've suffered for 2 years with the physical symptoms of anxiety, all that you listed and many more. I haven't been able to accept the anxiety diagnosis either but I've undergone extensive testing, all of which comes back normal... I still find it hard to believe. I'm still going through the process of elimination to rule out physical ailments but I'm getting down to the bottom of the barrel and still no answers so chances are, it's probably anxiety. Know that you aren't alone.
