hi, i know its been a while since someone last posted on here but i'm wanting some reasurrance, for the past year my anxiety has come out in physical ways, i have chest pains everyday, i have pain in my left arm, i get back pains, i'm scared its a problem with my heart but doctors have said they are 1000% sure its not.. i ring the doctors monday-friday. im feeling fine mentally but physically i am not coping- can someone please explain they're symptoms to me? i am 23 and classed as really healthy, my heart rate goes up and down throughout the day but i have been told that is normal.
Hi Sarah,you are not alone,im 29 and since eighteen i have all the symptoms on and off they are called panic attacks,headaches,stomachache,pain in my left arm,chest pain,fast heartbeats,dizziness,detachment,shortness of breath,etc.
Hi Sarah, i get like a burning pain down the inside of my left arm and chest pain with my anxiety. I also suffer from hyperventilation syndrome so my breathing is also hard. I have high anxiety so can sympathise. Sorry you are struggling. I also worry about my symptoms which makes it worse. Try not to worry. What you are experiencing is normal for anxiety x
I literally read this and thought I'd wrote it myself for a second!! I'm exactly the same and I've been like it for 11 weeks now plus more symptoms on top too!! feel free to message me if you're worried about other things or want to discuss with someone going through the same thing x
it is horrible! i ended up in a&e on friday because i was so scared it was my heart, but after all the checks and tests my heart is fine! how can anxiety make you feel so bad? i hope your ok and im here if you need to talk x
what did you have done? funny enough I too was in a&e yesterday fearing it was my heart.. also have pains in my arms (both) they done an ecg, chest xray and bloods, all normal apparently but I just can't seem to accept this is all anxiety. its so scary!
i had the exact same tests done! i was fine for a couple of days but now its back again and i just cant accept its anxiety, it is horribly scary isnt it? they even said my bloods was perfect but my mind wont accept that! x
yep I'm the same, then I feel a little pain or sensation and I go back to panicking! then I swear I feel pains in my neck and jaw and back and shoulders because I worry that much it's my heart it's like my body is giving me them symptoms! I get in such a panic they've missed something wrong like a blockage or something restricting my heart - I feel like them tests aren't good enough. but then I try to think surely they know what they're doing?! they aren't going to risk someones life are they :/
that is exactly how i feel! i get aches in my jaw/back/arms/chest and shoulders, as soon as i feel a twitch it makes me think theres a problem with my heart, i keep searching the internet to see if blood test pick up everything! it says they check to see how the heart is functioning but im so terrified! i feel like ringing my doctor but i dont want them thinking im mad! surely doctors wont hide anything from you! its so hard to accept that all this is anxiety...
right now i am suffering with vertigo and i keep thinking its something else
im only a message away if you want to talk x
you sound exactly like me!! so I suppose its reassuring to know someone else feeling exactly the same with the same tests.. but it still bugs away at your head doesn't it, the mind is very powerful.. do you find it takes over your life sometimes? like scared to do stuff incase your heart packs up.. I've had it for 12 weeks now since I gave birth to my second child so I think that's why I get so scared because I can't leave my children behind without a mum.. when you say vertigo do you mean a feeling of like being totally off, like you cant concentrate or focus and it just comes out of nowhere even when sitting down? because that's what I keep getting. I too am only a message away, seems we have alot of the same things.. do you also get burning sensations anywhere or tingling? x
