Is it just me or are there other people out there who are also convinced that there is something wrong and it's not just anxiety!?
How can anxiety have such a physical affect on you!?
I feel like this often, don't worry, you're not alone! It helps to remember how powerful are brains are. Just think about psychosomatic injuries soldiers get due to the trauma of war. Even this anxiety about whether there is a problem or not can make symptoms worse.
I would suggest getting some tests done by a doctor to ease your mind. If your worries continue after that then you can rest assured that it's definitely anxiety that is causing your symptoms.
Thank you so much it's very reassuring to know that you are not the only one feeling like this. X
Anxiety does have very 'real' physical symptoms. For me, it was chest pains, dizziness, visual distortion, muscle pain and insomnia. So, I can convincingly say that you are not alone.
With progressive relaxing techniques (meditation, exercising etc.), your adrenaline levels in your body will fall. Soon, you might find some relief. However, I suggest that you rule out all other possible causes for these symptoms by visiting your GP. Hope you will get well soon.
I always thought anxiety meant we just felt anxious or worried all the time. The amount of physical symptoms never ends. Mine include racing heart , muscle tension,in back , neck, and jaw, headaches,tight chest, shaking, sweating, stomach fluttering, insomnia, but by far worst is the constant thoughts , mostly negative going round and round drives me mad. If you relate to replies your in the right place. Some great people here with tips on how to cope❤️
I started taking Lexapro yestetday. I've been puking and diaharea for 13 Hours.. no sleep and MORE anxious any suggestions
Know a lot of these meds have bad side effects before they start working , if they get worse you could ring medical helpline for reasurance or try and wait till your doctors surgery, ask to speak to doctor say you are really concerned, they will know wether it's normal and wether you should ride it out until they start working or discuss other options, ❤️
How are you feeling now? I'm new to this drug to, day 4,
Currently struggling with this same thing. I'm having headaches, dizziness, confusion, and just an "off feeling". Terrified it's something other than anxiety, but according to all the tests I've had done, nothing else is wrong. Hope you get to feeling better soon
