Hi Brenny,
It really does sound like anxiety, And although you havent had a panic attack since last year. It could be underlying anxiety..
Fear of the fear . The physical symptoms of anxiety are wide and varied including the ones you describe.
If the doc is not unduly worried about the pains... try and let it go otherwise the anxiety will spiral.
Each time you react to the physical symptoms it feeds the anxiety.
Try some meditation.. Relaxation skills, fresh air, anything to take your mind of your physical symptoms.
It really can be hard to believe that the aches pains etc are caused by anxiety but if you can do some research into how anxiety tricks your mind and the adreniline whizzing around etc etc. You will get a better idea of how its happening.
Thats what i did.. i read everything i could on it , i watched video,s on You Tube from univésities that study anxiety stress and depression.
And half the battle was one... I then started all the methods suggested mindful ness , progressive muscle ttraining. Meditations you name it i tried it.
And i am now 95% better.
Get reading and watching your not going mad at all xxx
yeah thats how is anxiety work.. me everytime i feel im sick i pray.. think about this way no one is gonna live forever in this world.. we all gonna die no matter who u are no matter what you do.. even you have anxiety or not.. so just take a deep breath relax.. enjoy every seconds of your life do what ever makes u happy.. dont waste your time of thinking that your sick bec only God knows everything.. try to listen some praise and worship song.. find a nearest Church in your area.. maybe God have a plan for you,for me,for eveyone of us who got this kind off illness toughts or what ever they call this thing.. this one help me a lot too google this.. what you fear the most cannot happen.. read the article so that it clear your toughts.
Thankyou for your reply I appreciate you taking the time,
I finding it hard to accept that the pains are from Aniexty even though I've been checked out I'm 26 athletic healthy no major problems until the bump and concussion.. I am going through a stress full time but I don't feel stressed I am paranoid at the pain I'm getting but j don't feel anxious I have some 10mg propranolol sitting in my bread bin which my doctor gave me I haven't took them because I don't want to be on tablets have you had any experience with these and do they help??
My pain doesn't come at set times it comes last a few minutes then goes it never wakes me up at night I sleep like a baby every time but I do get it every day? Sorry to bombard you with question
Propranol is used often to calm anxiety. It is a beta blocker
Give it a try and see if it helps.
If the pain goes when your asleep and never wakes you.... This does suggest it anxiety causing the pain.
For eg: i have a problem with arthritis in my shoulder and the pain wakes me. unless a take a pain killer.
But when i had anxiety the pains i got never woke me or stopped me from sleeping because my mind and body were relaxed in sleep .. 10 mins after waking and they would be back.
Hope that helps 😊
