hey all, first off if this is in the wrong area i apologize, please re direct me to the rifht area i will re post. im off to hospital tomorrow because (i suffer badly from panic attacks and depression) ive been trying to use the gym as a way to fight my mentsl health problems, i must add that im a competitive bodybuilder, however as of recent whenever i do any sort of physical task (usually early in the day) my body goes into a frenzy and cramps up extremely badly, well, it feels like cramp but its more chronic body pain, this is usually worsened because when it happens i panic badly, to the point where my legs, arms, back neck and face seize up where i cant talk and i can strongly smell ammonia, ive told the doctoes but they keep brushing it off but today it happened for four hours where i physically couldnt walk, its like arthritis or something, has anyone else experienced this? its debilitating to say the very least and extremely painful.
I am not very sure what exactly it is but since my anxiety and depression I have body pain too and its been a bit hard. they told me i had chronic fatigue and its probably because of this depression and anxiety and panic attacks. i am praying for you, stay strong my friend we are all in this together.
sounds like it can be anxiety as you said you have many panic attacks and anxiety. it can also be muscle spasms from over working the muscles. do you get these pains when you relax for a while?
hello! yes theyve became more frequent. they happen even when i test now when that used to be the time i didnt get it, its deffo not DOMS because ot happens in areas that arent geting worked. its like someone has smashed me in the legs with a bat. a deep bruising kind of pain
yep that sounds like anxiety to me… the most we can do i guess is breathe it out. in dealing with severe health anxiety right now and it does not seem to be getting better. im actually planning to see a therapist. do u have a therapist?
ive been to hospital. they think ots fibromyalgia or potentially something else neuropathic due to all the anxiety and stress. guess im gonna meditate till i drop
im waiting on an appointment
