Hi over the past week ive felt absolutely awful. Been to my gp twice and urgent care once in that time, both places said my symptoms are due to anxiety. Ive suffered from anxiety for years, yet I have never experienced the symptoms i have had recently. Basically my whole face feels numb, I suffered from agonizing headaches yet they have disappeared and have been replaced by weird sensations in my head, it feels hollow most times just feeling of static and slight pressure every now and again. I have been sleeping very poorly and when I do wake up my left cheek feels really strange which extends to the top left hand side of my head. My neck used to really ache but now i can barely feel it and keep feeling a sensation of it pulsing and sometimes it feels like its gushing out liquid, i get this sensation in my head from time to time as well. Every now and again i get this rotten smell in my nose as well, usually when the gushing sensation occurs. Its driving me crazy. Drs seem to think im fine, my mum who is a psychiatric nurse says im fine. i just need piece of mind. I could convince myself it was just anxiety if i didnt feel worse just as i wake up. This morning i woke up with the aforementioned cheek sensation, my legs felt had a watery sensation in them. i felt cold and my chest was tight. Ive been ok today since then maybe with a few of the symtptoms i have mentioned occuring now and again but not as half as they have been. Anybody ever remotely been through this?
yes ive had all your symptoms and more. take it from someone whos been through this for many years…
mornings are the worst time for anxiety symptoms, the symptoms wont hurt you, trust the doctors conclusions,
otherwise your life will be wasted with worry for no reason. the more you obsess over the symptoms, the more they stay.
totally agree anxiety is sooo evil
we just have to have strong words with ourselves and just carry on
but if it gets to point were it us effecting your life then go gp and get something to help x
