I'm worried about my physical health now as I'm struggling to maintain my weight and I always feel like I could be putting on weight or not. But, I do have a very smart wifi scale that tells you your water weight, bmi, muscle mass, weather, etc. Every time I check my weight throughout the day or wait for a week to weigh myself again, it keeps saying I already either gained or lost weight so fast. Which makes me question on what's my real weight and I keep stressing myself mostly. Today, I feel like I could be overexercising myself as I'm starting to experience abdominal pains, my throat will feel tight like I'm slowly being choked and my chest will feel tight as well and then I would start to panic that makes it even more worst. Are these symptoms mostly anxiety? I haven't had anxiety attacks for such awhile but the feeling is so scary as I feel like I might pass out or or I feel like I'm dying. I would really like helpful advice on how to keep myself positive and not stress about my weight every single day.
I experienced something very similar to you with regards to me weight. I had starred working out more ans eating better so of course I lost weight, but my anxirty made me think I had some serious health problem causing my weight loss. I was literally weighing myself every other hour. my husband thought I was loosing the plot.
we weight different amounts at different times in the day, i find with me this can vary by about 6lb.
I worrirsd myself sick and was then constantly eating to try put the weight back on to make sure I could! then when I seen how much id gained i was even more annoyed!! such a vicious cycle
from what I have been told with regards to weight loss, it would need to be a very significant amount within a very short space of time.
I also have IBS from anxirty , and I find when my anxirty is worse , my IBS is worse , which also makes me loose a few pounds as my food passes straight through. e
I’ve been suffering with health anxiety for a long time and seem days it can take my life over
I hope you manage to find some support
ive gone thhrough tbis and i thought i had some illness. its not. you wheigh very diffrent all of the time it depends on how much water retnetion you have, sodium, food, bowel movements.
youre having a panic attack which ive had too. you feel panicked and like youre dying but nothing is actually wrong.
one day i was in class and i had a pain in my shoulder i then thought for some stupid reason heart attack. fhen i got the urge to go number two which is another symptom, this freaked me out. when i walked to class i started to panic and as i was sitting there i got dizzy, felt like i was blacking out, felt sick, felt weak and i got a metallic taste in my mouth. i felt like there was this horrible impending doom like the world was ending and i rushed to the nurses office. i was shaking and confused and thought i was having a heart attack. she checked my vitals and i was completly fine. i had a self induced panic attack from worrying and thinking i was having a heart attack and i caused the symptoms myself. anxiety can trick you into thinking amything irrational is rational. its not nice.
youd know if something was serious with your weight if there was actually a problem and there would be other signs. DONT GO LOOKING FOR OTHER SIGNS cause if youre like me youll eventually find sometbing and no matter how real it seems and how weird and unnusual your symptoms are its most likely nothing if you have anxiety.
