My anxiety has been quite bad off and on this year but recently has reached a level where I am experiencing symptoms that could also be other issues. In the past three weeks I have had sharp pains in my chest, back, neck, jaw, abdominal cramping, nausea, and constant heaviness in my chest and arms. I have had a x-ray, bloods, and EKG done to rule out any heart and lung issues, however that does not keep me from worrying that I still may have a heart issue when my symptoms are not getting better and it seems more than muscle pain. I have also experiences light headedness and shortness of breath the past few days. Has anyone else experienced symptoms that seem heart related and have been just severe anxiety?
hi amb…YES! I’ve experienced every single one of those symptoms!
I’ve had many tests, including an ekg…but everything’s fairly normal, except a lung issue I’ve got due to a medical procedure gone awry.
the feelings are almost unbearable at times…I feel “frozen” and unable to function. it’s absolutely amazing to me how anxiety/stress can do this to you! and it’s Sooo hard for others to understand.
keep me posted!
