To start off I'm 20 | Girl | Computer Science and engineering Student I've experienced anxiety starting from back in 2012 when I had shortness of breath as the main symptom accompanied by depersonalization and health anxiety.
Now I'm having weird symptoms. I feel tightness and lump.in throat. I've head and forehead pressure sometimes(like right now) and my face feels weird as well as my hands feel weak. When I google these symptoms it comes out to be a neurological disorder which even freaks me out more. I have blurry vision sometimes. ( And yeah I've chronic cough since the age of 10 due to my seasonal allergies, it can be related to that ?)
Any assurance will be highly appreciated as I'm scared to death right now that something is wrong with my brain or o may loose my sight all of a sudden due to this weird head and facial pressure!
I'm in university and can't go home anytime soon. Please help. Me.
Hi! I've had all of your symptoms and more..Im having a lot of them atm. And it is all just anxiety. You will not lose your sight and nothing is wrong with your brain, try not to worry. ☺
I would say it can't hurt to visit a Dr if the symptoms persist, but I've also had all your symptoms b4 and muchhhhh more just from anxiety. It's amazing what your mind can do to your body. That lump in throat/tight throat feeling is something I've been getting lately a lot. Some days my throat/neck muscles get so tight and sore my voice is actually affected a bit - it's super annoying. I try to strecth it out a lot and use a heating pad. I've been to the Dr so many times for all of my anxiety related symptoms and every time they tell me "it's just your anxiety". -_- Sometimes part of me wishes it wasn't and there was something off bc then I could fix it and it wouldn't come back lol when it's your anxiety it's a lot harder to get rid of =( Work on managing your stress better. I see a therapist and it helps a lot.
Hi! I know exactly what youre talking about when it comes to lump in the throat sensation. It is by far the most annoying symptom. I actually had to quit singing because my voice got so cracky and its affecting my life pretty bad. Feelis like Im being choked really hard all the time. I feel relieved when doctors say its all just anxiety but at the same time i wish it wasnt so they could cure this awful sensations.
Yess! It's so annoying =( At least if they were like oh u have strep throat or something u get antibiotics and then it goes away haha, this only goes away when we calm down, so I'm screwed basically hahaha -__- Ugh!!
