Problems with walking.....Worried..

[Aspergirl47]

Hey guys...I was wondering if anyone gets problems with their legs when trying to walk outside?I notice I keep walking to one side and I have terrible pains especially in one leg when walking..I almost have to keep stopping as I think I'm going to fall over and I feel frightened to walk any further...surely this cant be caused by severe anxiety? If any of you guys understand this could u let me know as I'm really worried I have something seriously wrong now...Thanks guys x

Hey, So sorry to hear that....I was worried about a stroke as my father had one a few years ago and had problems walking..Dr didn't mention a stroke only checked my ear incase of infection, but nothing wrong there, might go back to see him again, its a scary feeling...Hope youre doing well....

Hey...Yeah, that's what its like lol Dr checked my ears incase I had a balance problem due to this, but nothing...its really weird... I'm on a small dose of diazepam I take every day...Wonder if meds can cause these problems...Thank u...Hope your ok too..

Thank you, I noticed when my anxiety hit and started ativan (low dose) that is when this started, plus i've had sinus infections etc so who knows at this point, all I know is its gotta be from one of those things lol ..

Yeah, since my anxiety has become chronic ive needed a low dose of Valium every day and ive only had the problem since taking it...I have a chest infection at the minute too...that's the problem, knowing whats caused it lol I keep bumping into people in shops lol and staggering as if I'm drunk...
