I thought it might be good for all of us too see all the different anxiety symptoms we can get mostly physical because I think we all know the mental side of it. I myself get random pains in different spots on my body, chest pains, arm soreness, neck and temsion headaches daily, on occasion I will feel itchy or like my skin is really hot think some people call these hot flashes but this is a new one so I’m not sure if that’s what it is.
Just curious to get feedback from people and see what kind of physical symptoms are possible from anxiety. It always makes me feel better knowing I’m not the only one that feels this way so maybe this can help all of us to share some of this stuff.
Thanks hope to hear from some people.
Hot flushes
Feel weak and lightheaded
Need a wee
Breathing fast and heart rate
Legs go numb
My arms and my skull goes pin needles
Very sleepy and don’t make sense when I talk
And I vomit
Think that’s all
When u say hot flushes does it feel like a fever or more like your skin is hot.
Warm skin... Pins n needles.... Heart racing /pounding..... Impending doom... Shaky inside.. Feeling sick.... Empty bladder all day... Motion sensation when sitting stil.... Legs go numb and feels heavy...
Oh I forgot heart beat in ears and feels as thou heart stopping
Really appreciate the responses I’m not sure about you guys but it gives me a little piece of mind knowing I’m not alone in these feelings.
Sometimes my minds racing so fast I have so many crazy thoughts that don’t even make senses feel like I’m losing it but then I try to calm down as best as possible and get my mind back right it will pass and I will be ok.
I hope a few more people will chime in
Erm my skin goes hot
Last January a slept with both windows open wide and my fan blasting
I was blue but I was hot because of my anxiety so I didn’t feel the cold
But other times it feels hot inside like someone just poured hot water in my blood stream
I’d be lost without my 4 fans
Deja Vu
Weird hazy vision
Panic
Auras epileptic style
Dreamlike feelings
Alice in wonderland syndrome
Sometimes I won’t even mentally feel like I’m having anxiety but my heart is still kind of racing when I’m just sitting around or I have some other weird anxiety feelings like we all experience I think the stress response effects your body longer than it effects your mind
heart racing
pulses all over body pounding
numbness in hands and feet
ibs
feeling like im dreaming
feeling hot at times
insomnia
anger problems
feel like im dying
monitering body( googling, stool checking, weight checking, monitoring heart rate and oxygen levels and blood presure etc...)
breathing anxiety.
yes i agree that stress effects the body in different ways. i was experiencing really bad de ja vu and seeing auras. i thought i had developed epilepsy, i went for tests and i didnt have it. sinse ive been on sertraline those wired auras have stopped i still get feelings of de ja vu but not as often now. the de ja vu can be pleasent at times so i embrace it😂.
i know we all know that it is all in our minds but its so hard to exept at times.
Darren your symptoms sound just like mine with the Deja Vu. If you don’t mind me asking what we’re yoir visual auras? What tests did you have ? I have had these weird symptoms going on over 10 years. Four years ago they got really frequent and severe and had mri and eeg all came back normal. Have seen about three neurologists who don’t think it’s epilepsy but I still 4 years later get them and frequent again at moment with weird hazy vision and fear washes over me. What is this Darren? Is an mri 4 years ago sufficient to say everything is ok?
I totally can relate to the checking symptoms things I really like my Fitbit usually but when I’m anxious and my hear rate is up then I hate the thing. I had to go to urgent care the other day and was asking about my heart and bpm and he said if it’s below 100 when your resting don’t worry. I said even when it’s normally like 60s he said it can fluctuate day to day and it’s not abnormal he said he hates fitbits because they don’t represent a full picture of what’s happening.
So I can so relate to the constant checking and worrying about things like health totally 100%
Have any of you ever had the heat racing or any of the other physical symptoms without feeling mentally anxious. Meaning your not consciously worrying about anything but your body is still on edge.
i would say you are ok. i have had these sort of symptoms for years aswell. i had scans on brain, special blood work that targets chemical imbalances in the body, eeg, i to saw 3 different neurologists who all said its not epilepsy. they gave me tests on my heart to see if its pumping blood properley to the brain all came back normal. i was even told by a doctor that i maybe having some sort of awakening( not to convinced on that one). my auras have subsided alot since i started anxiety meds but it still happens. i see colours especially round people and objects. before i get de ja vu i get a funny feeling all over me then it happens and i see stuff in my head i havent even thought of ( like things from the past etc..). it does scare me at times because i become all hazy and feel like im dreaming. i have had these tests multiple times and they have always come back normal. according to my gran my grandad used to get the same thing so what ever it is im thinking it may be genetic. like you ive never had a proper diagnosis with what this is but ive been told by many consultants its nothing thats going to kill me. the mother of my first child had epilepsy and there is a difference to what i have to what she had( i say had because her epilepsy killed her just before christmas last year after having a sizure which stopped her heart. ) everytime i googled my symptoms all i got on my screen was epilepsy or spiritual awakening so i stopped looking it up. i just look at it now as im still here and if it was anything bad id of died by now or been diagnosed with something serious. i do find my anxiety brings it on more though if im having a bad day with general and health anxiety.
i will keep looking though to find if anyone with these symptoms has a condition that has been overlooked on us. everyone i have spoke to with symptoms so far has never had a diagnosis or suffer with other conditions that can bring it on that im ready familiar with.
i use my phone my heart monitor and sats app to check me and use my mums blood presure machine. i weigh myself about 20 times a day
if i drop below 14 stone i panic so i eat to get it back up. my heart is normally around the high 70s at rest so if it goes past 80 at rest that gets me going which elevates the heart more. its a viscous cycle im afraid thats hards to break. the new meds are helping though slowly.
Do you ever notice that after you have like a severe anxiety or panic attack that you heart rate will stay up for an extended period of time like sometimes I feel like for a day or two everything’s all messed up like my heart rates higher and the anxiety I can normally control is going nuts.
Yes I know this feeling too well
I don’t get blood pressure machines
I use mine every day and my blood pressure fine even though I’m shaking and feel weak
And my heart rate is always 126 resting so doctors added another medication and it dropped to 90s but I didn’t like sleeping 24 /7 so stopped it and now it’s back to 126
sometimes it does. it depends on how severe it was. if i do my breathing exercise i can normally get it back down to as normal as it will get, but my anxiety stays hightened
