It does sound like anxiety i ha e suffered with anxiety for 2 and half years and i get numbness and body ache i get pain in places ive never had pain anxiety does some horrible stuff to us
so i have had anxiety for over 30 years. i have had every symptom you can possibly think of caused by anxiety. I have had numbness, tingling, difficulty taking a deep breath, floaters in my eyes, vibration feeling in my head and body, and so many more. and yes it is a very weird feeling almost surreal. i too thought the doctors missed something. I thought I was the only one in the world feeling this weird. After many tests that came back normal, the only thing left was long-term chronic anxiety causing the symptoms
. I want you to know that my symptoms started in my 20s and I’m now in my 50s and I’m doing very well. There was no underlying terrible disease. The disease was anxiety. The symptoms are not really the issue. The issue is unmanaged anxiety that causes the symptoms. The symptoms are harmless but they are annoying and scary.
your dr. did not miss anything. you do not have a progressive disease and you will live. So many people with anxiety think that but that’s because they don’t know what the symptoms are from. The symptoms are from anxiety. There are hundreds.
- What you have to do is first of all learn how to breathe properly with anxiety because that reduces a lot of the symptoms. You can find some great breathing meditations on YouTube. The adrenaline that is released from anxiety is what is causing your breathing issues. But you can manage that with the breathing exercises.
- you must have some underlying stress and anxiety. It’s very difficult to manage on your own. I suggest speaking with a counselor on a regular basis. They see this every day and know how to help. it helped me a lot!
- get some regular daily exercise even if it’s just going for a walk. The more you sit around and think the more symptoms you will have because you are telling your brain that something is wrong.
4.do you things that relax your mind and make you laugh and smile. This is very important because the brain is very susceptible to our emotions. go for a walk with your child or alone. Be grateful for everything you have. Marvel in the nature! - eat healthy and stay hydrated. It’s time to take care of yourself so you can be strong for your child.
- keep a strong positive attitude. You are healthy. You are stronger than you think. Take care
this is so scary and i feel so alone . its a struggle to do anything . i use to be able to take walks but it feels like im dizzy all the time and cant breath
Hi i would like you to inbox me as the symptoms i get alot and its really scary i have no 1 to talk to as im currently waiting for therapy
I am a sufferer of anxiety disorder & panic attack since 4 years ago when I started perimenopause. My condition became worse when my country got lockdown few months ago due to covid 19. A host of symptoms started to surface from dizziness, imbalance, internal shakiness, muscles twitches, to hands numbness, tingling sensation, heavy chest & throat tightness etc. etc. All tests & scans came back normal. Life has been hell since then. Tried all sorts of therapies & supplements but nothing worked despite spending thousands of dollars. Going to see a psychiatrist next week to get some medication. Hope it helps this time. I want my life back..sobs.. sobs
irene i feel so sorry for you as this is a scary ride on one hand i feel scared im dying and on the other hand doctors make you feel crazy as ever and are very rude
i know right. Doctors are not the most sympathetic people, they think we are crazy. How are you managing on a daily basis? Are you on any meds? I am struggling everyday with all the horrible symptoms. Can’t focus on work. Can’t cook an egg without feeling wobbly when standing. Head is dizzy all the time.
im doing my best im wobbly every day i started putting the egg in the oven and microwave. i have to work so its difficult
are you doing any better?
Hi, i was at the psychiatrist 2 days ago & he put me on propranolol & lexapro. Started on a low dosage & i can feel the difference. Though i am still not 100%, i am happy now that i can function at 80%. There are some side effects though but I think the pros outweigh the cons.
How about you? How are you doing?
