Just anxiety??

so I keep feeling light headed, ears feel full, even my face sometimes feel a bit numb, and on and off I feel a bit out of breath like I need to take a deep breath or catch my breath.... it's not all constant, but it's pretty much daily and comes in waves.. would you say that's anxiety? I'm also 2 weeks in on starting sertraline but I have had these feelings before starting them too....

Is two weeks on zoloft long enough for it to be effective ? How long did the doctor say it would take ? Do you have a benzo ? I want to say its anxiety if you felt this way prior to starting the Zoloft and it hasnt come to full term in your system yet. Are you expecting all your symptoms to just disapear ? because thats not how it works. Your symptoms will lessen and not be as noticable but you will still have some of them. Taking the zoloft is only part of the process, you need a therapist to talk to and you need distractions to keep your mind busy and not bored. A bored mind will make up things to entertain itself usually at your expense. I just hope you are not sitting at home twiddling your thumbs waiting for the zoloft to work, because you are going to drive yourself crazy doing that.

sounds like anxiety and David is absolutely right. The worst thing you can do is sit around and let your mind go to the negative. I did that for years and it’s absolutely miserable because the things I was worried about never actually happened. It’s a waste of time and can make you sick. Keep yourself active and busy ! I found that doing things for other people was one of the best therapies for my anxiety because it takes the focus off of myself and it helps somebody else. Take care

they said between 4 and 6 weeks before I start seeing any kind of change, I’m not expecting results straight away I just dont like these feelings and curious if anxiety can just randomly keep causing symptoms like that.. I’ve previously had blood pressure etc checked and all that was ok but I keep worrying every time it comes on.

I’ve had so many symptoms with anxiety and these are some of the worst. I’ve been pretty anxious the last few days waiting on a call, I got the call this morning and calmed for a while but now I have to wait another week for more reassurance on my heart (that’s my biggest fear) .. it’s so hard to get my mind of the negative thoughts it really is, every day I’m petrified somethings been missed and I’m just going to drop dead :frowning: x

I have the excact same symptoms accures in the evening ears are full cant breath dizzy,
I have bad sinus and inner ear problems but my pysch said its my anxiety I take real bad panic attacks have to take deep breaths.so it anxiety stress i hate it my ears feel so full .my sides of my neck get numb. want to let you know keep in touch .

reassuring to know someone else has the same symptoms, I hate when I get it, I just get it randomly throughout the day but worse in the mornings when my anxiety is at its highest
