So let me start by saying I am new to this forum. I am 27 years old. I had my first Anxiety / panic attack in May 2017. I thought my symptoms would go away but they havent when one goes away something new happens. Please let me know if you have these symtoms, I feel like its something else. But I have gone to my doctor so much they just always say its my anxiety. I am not on any daily pills, just on ativan when I feel edgy.
My symptoms have been : muscle twitching all over, pain in joints, hot spots all over my body, pins and needles feeling and now I am starting to see eye floaters. I previously had numbness of certain body parts but hat seemed to go away along with the headaches. Please help. I seriously dont know what to do anymore. I cant seem to go to my doctor because it feels like noone is listening... but then again i could just be my anxiety making me feel this way. Does anyone else get the same symptoms?
I feel like I can't control this and my fear is something is wrong and I wont be able to care for my son. This anxiety is taking over my life, if thats what it is.
I cant even go to the store anymore because I fear of getting an episode...
Yes anxiety can do all sorts to your body I've only just come to know how much it can affect as I've been going through it myself since December a mean use to have the off panic attack but nothing like what I've been going through now couldn't leave my house in the end am still fighting it as they put me on sertraline anxiety medication and they made me 10 times worse and the side effects where horrendous am going through anxiety and withdrawals now...but before all this started my anxiety came in the form of burning sensations down left side of my body had all tests mris all came back clear..would have vertigo when a was anxious too and could last weeks to months depending on what was going on... brain fog..fatigue..butterflys in stomach that just don't go away...feeling like a can't see.. anxiety is horrible thing am now attending councilling and trying to beat this naturally with excersise changing my diet..meditation and breathing excersise also find affirmations actually quite helping when you keep telling yourself positive things and replacing all the negative your allowing to take over it actually starts to sink in... hope you feel better.. a know how
You feel am 29 with three kids and it's not easy...
But just keep telling yourself it's anxiety as hard as it is.. try go small walks as well I've found when I can but I know on really bad days a just can't do it and that's ok I'll try next day even just round the block as excersise is so good for your mind...
It will eventually go sorry for a book here it's just a know how your feeling a wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.. your body will just need time to heal once you tackle all the stress and fear that's built
Sorry one last thing I get floaters too in my eyes I've had my eyes tested and where completely fine but they say if your not sleeping good it can cause that
No your definelty not but can feel that way sometimes am the same just got to keep fighting the symptoms and telling ourselfs nothing wrong a know sometimes getting the tests at the doctors helps as it puts the facts on paper and so sometimes it helps calm us and stop worrying which in turn can help with symptoms but when you've put your body through stress and can't switch it off it comes out in many forms it sucks just went for a power walk as my anxiety has had me up last night and still in a couldn't bare a long day of suffering need to keep buzy myself or a suffer bad... hope you feel better soon..
