Hi, Does anyone else feel like this on a daily basis from their anxiety? 1) My heart is always so fast. As soon as I wake up in the mornings I have a sense of doom, my heart is pounding and I feel so sore, heavy & achey. 2) It takes me a good while in the morning for my heart to settle & for me to feel more calm. 3) My muscles hurt CONSTANTLY as if I have done a hike up a mountain the day before! 4) I am so fatigued all I wanna do is lay down or sit down and do nothing all day everyday. When I try to do something simple I feel so exhausted that I just want to lay down again. 5) General feeling of shakiness and unease until around 7pm when it begins to ware off and I start feeling "normal" 6) A feeling of being unwell but not actually being unwell? The funny thing is I had a HORRENDOUS episode of anxiety and constant panic attacks for 3 weeks straight. The past week I have been much better with my anxiety and it has massively reduced but now I am left with all of these physical symptoms that are draining me!
Yes this is totally normal symptoms of anxiety and panic. After a panic attack it takes everything out of you and you need a long time to recover. Have you discussed this with your doctor?
i’m not surprised that you are so exhausted. Think of what toll those three weeks of anxiety and panic head on your body.! So the body is left very fatigued. The muscles are exhausted,.going through three weeks of anxiety and panic is basically the same as hiking up a mountain because that’s how draining it is. Now is the time to really take care of yourself as your body is recuperating. It’s really important to stay hydrated during this time. Your body needs nourishment and fluids.
for rapid heartbeat, doing slow mindfulness breathing exercises will help. You can find those on YouTube. Make sure you are eating healthy so that your body can bounce back with good vitamins and nutrients. pamper yourself. You deserve it and you’ve been through a horrendous time. your strength will come back just give it some time. I’ve been through this many many times and I know how it feels. You feel better but not 100%. Take care of yourself!
