for the past couple of months my palms have been rather pale, between my fingers are very much lighter than my skin color & my feet are way lighter on the sides and darker on top. doctors thought it was anemia but my hgb & everything else blood related is fine. & does anxiety mimic anemia because i get cold, sometimes get pale in areas that are usually red or have color, weak, muscle pains, back pains(sometimes when i inhale), headaches, dizziness, lightheaded, i’ve fainted once or twice, pins & needles, fatigue & just feeling awful. every doctor says anxiety... does anyone else experience this ??? on a day to day basis?
I've been diagnosed with anxiety (so far at least, got to see an ENT and a Neuro) and have all of those symptoms (and others too).
Chills - and if not the chills then feeling too hot - is just one of the things I'm currently going through.
I've not fainted yet (crosses fingers) but everything you've described here can be anxiety related for sure. I've been surprised to learn just how many symptoms it can cause.
Also make sure to stay off Google.
thanks for the last tip lol google is the worst
I have a lot of those symptoms with anxiety. I get the dizzy, on a boat feeling constantly when I'm extra anxious! I also have noticed blotchyness on my palms when I'm having anxiety attacks/panic attacks, feeling lightheaded, cold/tingling hands and feet, heart racing. and all that. I definitely get muscle pains also, for a period of like 4 or 5 months I was having such bad muscle tension in my neck/shoulder area. It's amazing what your mind can do to your body -_-
ugh it sucks😭😭 this affects my life in so many ways
It sounds like you are new to anxiety so I would imagine as more time passes you will cope with it better and learn that it IS just anxiety and you're not dying or losing your mind lol. Seeing a therapist will also help you cope/understand it better too. That's how I've learned to cope with it so far.
