Hi, I suffer from bad anxiety with many physical symptoms. It causes chronic hyperventilation syndrome in me apparently. I suffer headaches, dizziness, nausea, tight muscles and body aches. I also feel tight chested and lots of burning pain across my scapula, and feel like i constantly need to clear my throat. I keep feeling like there is something seriously wrong. I have had lots of tests but they are all normal. I'm in pain and discomfort every minute of every day. Does anybody else suffer this? Can you advise of anything that helps? im on mirtazipine 15mg at night. I don't struggle with sleep fortunately. It's about the only time my body probably relaxes! thank you x
I’m exactly the same! with many other symptoms too! it’s the worst thing.. my chest is also always tight and funny pains and sensations, its very hard to accept that it’s all anxiety but I suppose we need to trust our doctors.. can they maybe try and a different antidepressant? x
Have you ever had your Vitamin D checked? I ask because I too suffer from Health anxiety. For 4 years I had horrible symptoms. Horrible muscle pains, weakness, numbness,& tingling. Finally had my Vitamin D checked and was severely deficient. Some of my symptoms have gone now that I am supplementing.
I suffer with physical symptoms too when im reaaly anxious or having a panic attack.
Anxiety can cause these symptoms.
