U hav pains alova my body went to accident and emergency the ohaer night as i thought i was goin 2 collapse they took a chest x ray as i had pains n every think come back ok! Does any one else suffer from really bad aches and pains?
Yes, anxiety can cause hundreds of symptoms. Including aches and pains.
The key is to managing the anxiety better so you don't have so many symptoms. Have you ever considered speaking with a counselor? It helps to speak with someone else who can offer some suggestions and help you understand why you have the anxiety in the first place.
all anxiety starts in the brain so you need to calm that down first for the symptoms to subside. Try listening to some meditations on YouTube for anxiety. They completely calm down my mind and symptoms. Good luck!
Hi thanx 4 ur reply, n yes iam waiting 2 c a counciller as my doctor has made a referrel! Some days iam ok but 2 day i have loads ov aches n pains everywere in my body as i hav had really bad anxiety past few days
Hi Natalie,
When I feel anxious or depressed I definitely have more aches and pains.
I really hope you start to feel better after you work with a therapist.
Hi natalie. Yes, indeed, anxiety can cause hell on the body. Seems as tho the mind can only stand so much and then anxiety is channeled to the body. You can expect just about anything; especially where you have had a previous injury.
Try to lower your stress level (easier typed than done). Plus, try to lower your anxiety by refocusing away from the aches and pains if you can. Music, light exercise, warm baths, etc. Anything to take your mind off your body where it hurts. Medication can also help. Have you seen a doc?
I have seen the doctor he has referred me 2 talking therapy, the doc tried me on this medication (carnt remember its name) n it made me 10 times worse! I feel better 2 day but 2moro probs bring somethink else
I recently had a very stressful month and my axiety was very bad. The last few weeks I started experiencing horrible pains each day all over my body like a dull ache. One day it was my arms and writs, the next day my side , then my back!
I was convinced I had some horrible sickness. Well 3 trips to ER, 3 blood panels, stress test, abdominal ultrasound and CT scan , everything was normal!
Only thing left to contribute was the stress. I didn't believe it could cause these types of pains until now. Need to eliminate stress and anxiety first
