So for the past couple weeks, I just havent havent felt "well". Sympthoms are from, random pains all over the place, eye twitching, heavy eyes, weird feling in throat / chest ect.
Went to the DR and ER, both told me it was was anxiety which ive never had before. ER took blook and said everything was normal. Also said my blood presure was fine along with my heart.
Im trying so hard not to focus on it, but its hard. I just want to feel normal again!
Does this sound like anxiety?
Jessica,
Yes. It sounds like symptoms of anxiety. I haven't felt "well" for several years and have had several tests performed including CT scan of brain, exercise stress test, ultrasound of abdomen, upper gi endoscopy, colonoscopy and blood work. Nothing of major concern showed, so the doctor's attribute it to anxiety.
Like you, I too would have strange things happen. Upper body pain, nausea, clammy, light headed, feeling of "brain fog", body shakes, etc. Anxiety can do a real job on you.
I have decided to seek Christian counseling and my first session is this coming Saturday.
Thanks for your reply. It really is a horrible feeling. I will also gag out of know where. Nothing will come up of course and it drives me crazy. I hope your session goes amazing this weekend!
I totally know what your going thru. I went thru the same thing over the pst 1.5 years with crazy health anxiety. I went to the Drs for a check up and was told I had a bit high blood pressure. I went out and bought a blood pressure machine and tested it at least 10-15 times a day. Totally not fun but please seek support. There are a lot of good resources online and in person and just know your not the only one going thru this and you will get over it like I did.
Best of luck.
Hi Jessica, I am sorry to hear that you are going through this tough time. Worrying about health is a horrible way to suffer through anxiety, but i suppose you just have to listen to the doctors. I have been going to the doctors for years and they never find anything, except for anxiety! It definitely sounds like panic/anxiety to me. It can be helped, you just need to see the right people. Good luck
Like you, I'm new to this as well. I've been going through it since March. There were times when I felt miserable. Almost like I was a prisoner in my own body. I found it hard to believe that anxiety could make me feel so many physical symptoms. I was so dizzy that I no longer wanted to drive, my head hurt every day, I was in and out of the ER, I started taking off from work more and more often... I. Was. Miserable. I know that medication isn't on most people's list of things to do, but Zoloft has changed my life. I'm in my third week. I still have tough moments, and some days are better than others, but I finally gave medicine a chance, stuck with it, and it has helped so much! I wish I would've listened and tried it sooner instead of trying to tackle it myself. God bless you!
Thank you for your reply. Yes it is indeed miserable. The doctor prescribed me medicine, I'm just scared to take it....
I was in the same boat and terrified to take it for the side effects. I am now on day 3 and feeling a lot better. Just have to decide to take that final step.
