I have health anxiety . Can some people comment and tell me what symptoms they get . Also everyone I get a pain anywhere I think the worst . Can health anxiety make you feel pain even though really there is no pain there
Its not that the pain isnt there its that the brain in response to anxiety send out signals to the body to induce all sorts of sensations and pains. So the pain you are feeling is absolutely real. I know, its really hard for me to understand and accept that too 
Absolutely horrible I've had numerous blood tests done and ekg and ECG all came back normal but can't get that in my head
I have this too and constantly feel ill some way or another. Can’t accept it’s anxiety but feel like it must be as I too have had many tests done x
I had some really bad health anxiety for half of last year. I finally got health insurance this year, got to see a primary doctor and got bloodwork done and he said I seem perfectly healthy. I was experiencing chest pains and discomfort daily for a week or two at a time for a few months, palpitations, arm pain, feeling like I wasn't breathing properly and panic attacks. I thought I was going to die. I couldn't get it out of my head that I had some weird heart problem and was going to drop dead any minute. Since my doctors appointment, a lot of my chest pain has gone away and I experience symptoms much less frequently.
Anxiety can cause SO many symptoms. If you've been checked out and cleared, the next thing to do is believe in your doctors and find ways to calm yourself. If you can't convince yourself it's anxiety, it's never going to get better. I tried so hard to tell myself the first doctor I saw (I went to urgent care twice because of the chest pains) was right and it was only anxiety, but it wasn't until I saw a primary doctor and got my blood work done that I finally started feeling relief. I still occasionally worry something else is wrong, but I keep telling myself my doctor is looking out for me and he knows I'm going to be okay.
Hi Daniel, hope you are ok!
I can list you some of my anxiety symptoms as I have anxiety disorder mainly focusing on health issues, I even have symptoms when I don’t feel I’m anxious lol
Excessive sweating
Night sweats
Feeling sick
Shakes
Head pain
Wake up every morning aching
Loss of appetite
De realisation
Constant snotty nose
Sore throat and feels like it’s closing up
Shooting pains
Rapid heart rate
Burning face
That’s just a few day to day ones that I get at least once a day, but I have had bloods done and numerous doctors just say it’s anxiety! It’s an awful illness and the more you worry about these symptoms it gets worse and then you think what if I do ignore then and it isn’t that and it’s something much worse?! I learnt something very interesting about anxiety and the brain, and I always explained to my dr it’s like one half of my brain says it’s anxiety don’t worry and the other half says what if it’s not this time, he subconscious in your brain thinks it’s helping you by shortcutting to how you have felt before with things such as my brain notices a little pain that normal peoples wouldn’t usually pick up on because it’s on high alert all the time, so my brain then puts me into high anxiety mode thinking it’s helping me by remembering how i normally react to such sensations flooding my body with anxiety, it’s a powerful thing and very interesting, but you have to just accept it’s anxiety that causes all these problems
Thank.you very much I've got exactly same symptoms as you . Absolutely horrible but it's hard to tell yourself your alright when your in that moment isnt it. Thank.you
Chest pain, short of breath, heart attack like symptoms xx
It's like everyday it's something different to worry about for me, it makes it worse that I have some weight issues so my nerves will go numb on some days for a period of time then I instantly think I have a nerve disease that'll kill me, or if I get insomnia, boom I got fatal insomnia. It's like a never-ending war and as much as I hate to admit it I know alot of this stuff is a mix of anxiety and some weight issues. I got so many blood tests, heart monitors, xrays, etc in the past and nothing bad ever comes up. Not to mention my anxiety has put me on a road to a bunch of meds that always seem to never work, I've taken a total of around 7 now and all seems to make me feel lifeless and like a robot. The only thing I got going for me is therapy and going out to do stuff for this anxiety. Also yeah I know anxiety can give you chest pains, heart palpitations, headaches, stomach, weakness, and a bunch of other things, so hard to tell if it's a real problem or just a anxiety symptom.
I 100% agree! You put one symptom to rest and you get 5 more after 2 days haha! It’s a never ending battle! I’m currently on the waiting list for CBT with my doctor and hope that will help!
Dizzy, tingling in legs\arms, shoulder pain, chest pain, stomach pain, diarrhea, indigestion, loss of appetite, loss of weight, intrusive thoughts of impending doom, increased heart rate, sweating, unable to relax, migraines, focal migraines (flashers and floaters), blurred vision, face numbness, stiff neck, clogged ears, lump in throat, coughing and loss of breath randomly.
All of this stuff is due to muscle tension, anxiety and hypersensitivity. For me 95% of this stuff went away when I learned to relax.
I'd like the emphasize I had everything I listed about happen to me at random points during the time I was most anxious.
Did you get arm pain and back pain too?
Hey Andrew did you get Like arm pain sometimes too or some random jaw pain sometimes ?
Yes I did. The jaw pain came from clinching my teeth and the stiffness in my neck. I found this also caused my ears to be clogged.
I also had arm pain and sometimes my arms would go numb...I found this was because of tension in my shoulders it was pinching a nerve so my arms would go numb or hurt.
THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN I’m glad I’m not alone I am 22 and sitting here been depressed for 5 months thinking I have ANGINA did you go to the Er over it I’ve been 6 times because of it thinking I had a heart problem and the chest pain I get is random pain all the time got like a squeeze pain for like a second one time but that was it I’m so happy to hear that I’m not alone man
I been having chest pain for 2 months now I went to the ER on December they said that everything was good then I went to the cardiologist he told me the same.I went to the ER again 4 days ago they told me everything was good then why in the he'll I feel like this all i do be in my bed all day I feel sick idk what to do
Lucky for me anxiety runs in my family, my brother had the same exact problem when he was 20. I got an EKG and blood work done all came out fine. I didn't end up in ER because I have friends who work in ER and would convince me I was fine. Once I figured out and was able to convince myself it was anxiety I started to get better. Half the battle is knowing deep down you're fine and convincing yourself all these crazy symptoms are just anxiety.
Meant to respond to you rather than Daniel
