Hi guys I have this overwhelming feeling of anxiety in the mornings, my face begins to burn up, my arms get numb and I feel like I want to faint, when I feel like this I cannot eat, I feel like if I eat I will be sick, I then don't eat which causes me to feel very weak and so I want to sleep. I get like this when I am very anxious but I wanted to know has anyone else felt like this?

Hi Jason28, I have this problem from time to time. When I start to feel anxious I get a sick feeling in my stomach almost like my muscles are tightening and I have to throw up. I get worse if I go into a full panic attack. I too get hot and then the chills and often feel faint. I then actually do throw up and other symptoms being. During the time I feel like I can't eat I often do several things. One you can warm some milk, make some hot tea or have some broth like soup. The heat in my stomach often calms me and you are also getting something in your stomach. Two after having something hot try waiting a bit and then have a few crackers or bread something dry. I hope this might help.
