I hate and worry

[John1995]

I believe everyone here dealing with many disorders, and myself dealing with anxiety(might be health anxiety) and panic disorders. I hate the time when the physical symptoms hit on me which is mean everyday in different times

like dizzy, unbalance weakness, suddenly Extremely tired and sleepy, chest pain, muscle pains, racing heart rate, weak knee, feeling unreal of myself, feel like I'm out of my own body, jaw pain, random joint pains....... Many many of them

I really hate when they hit on me, I keep telling myself it's okay it will go away but they make me don't feel like wanna do anything and I will have bad mood .

And all of these physical symptoms make myself scared, when during the physical symptoms attack I will keep thinking am I okay ? Do I need to see a doctor check on me? Am I dying, I don't wanna die? And I feel the most safe its when I next to my partner or my close friends.

Has been doing meditation and listen to different kind of relaxation music to help me.

I would like to see all of your reply and support and please share your story with me as well 🙏🏻

Sorry to hear you’re having a rough time, Do you see a psychiatrist? Or have a good therapist? I understand what u going through because I go through different symptoms daily and it gets so tiring and my anxiety makes me depressed because it feels like am going to be like this forever Try to remember that is alright to be uncomfortable sometimes and what u feeling right now should pass try to keep yourself busy whatever that means to u so u want stay Focus on yourself am here if u need me

I understand how you feel. That is how I sounded about 5 months ago. Lots of pain the doctor just kept telling me my vitals are normal for me. Maybe what helped me will help you. I started journaling everything. If I felt dizzy, I checked my blood sugar, my blood pressure, and pulse and wrote it down. Other things that you can do is to speak with a therapist or a health coach. A health coach can help you keep track of your vitals, your diet, and other habits in an organized manner so a doctor can understand it. So they can put you on the right medications. A therapist talks to you about all those thoughts running through your head,and helps you sort them out.

i can completely relate to this. the physical symptoms are what scare me the most. ive been doing pretty well the last few months with medication and therapy but my anxiety has been up the last few days because i was having some back pain and wasn't able to stop thinking about it combined with some stress at home.

with this comes arm pain and tingling, jaw pain, and chest pain which i don't get often because i take something for gerd. i was told i have tennis elbow and tmj so that explains some of the pains but they still worry me. i had pain in the center of my chest yesterday which really freaked me out because its not something i remember having like that before. i took a tums and it went away but now its in my mind its because something is wrong.

now im having trouble sleeping again, waking up with a racing heart, my heartbeat feels funny etc. i thought my arm was tingling last night and im trying to think okay is it really doing this or am i so hypersensitive im imagining it. this is really exhausting and debilitating. i spent most of yesterday morning crying and im not a crier. im home alone with kids during the day and find it hard to cope. i don't have anyone who can come sit with me and i get afraid to take the kids out when i feel like this. yesterday when i had that chest pain i really thought okay i need to go to the ER. i haven't been there in months. i don't think if i went and they did tests they would find im really having a heart attack but then my mind and body persist with the pains and worry. then i also worry would i know if i was?

i feel the same as you when i get the physical symptoms worrying whether something is really wrong, what should i do. ive had ekg, blood work, chest xray at the ER and a stress test that were fine but sometimes i still think its heart problems. anxiety lies. it tells you youre in danger when youre not. i had been feeling better so i don't meditate as often but i'll try to get back into it. i just really hate this heightened anxiety. youre not alone.

I had all those symptoms worsen tremendously on me recently. I spent a fortune on a cardiologist only to learn that it was just panic attacks. What you describe are the classic symptoms (note, I am not officially qualified to diagnose). Have you seen a psychologist or psychiatrist? Living in fear of the attacks is a common cause of more attacks. Don't be afraid to get help. As with any illness, sometimes you need to see a doctor.

[Rilo7268 in reply to NeuroticSanity]

it is a fortune isnt it? i don't know how some people can go to the ER all the time. id love the reassurance but i can't afford it. I met my deductible which was the only reason i pursued doctor's/therapy visits.

JognTse, I experienced a lot of the same sensations you are feeling. Mainly I dealt with the dizziness, off balance feeling, jaw pain, muscle tension, muscle spasms/twitches, and a feeling of tremors. What worked for me was CBT, accepting that it IS anxiety, listening to your doctors and trying to live a bit more healthy. I still have the dizziness a bit but I do have moments of feeling not dizzy and off balance. My jaw pain and upper back muscle tension lasted for over 6 months but eventually got about 90% better. I started taking vitamins and getting some exercise in at least 3 times a week. Drinking a lot of water as well. The sensations do still try to creep in on me, when they do I let them come and go without constantly paying them attention. It is not easy, you must be persistent. Like right now I have been having a small spasm in the muscle in my left palm that comes and goes about every few minutes or so and a slight feeling of a vibration in my lower left leg that lasts about 2 seconds and comes and goes every few seconds depending on how I’m sitting or laying. I just tell myself that it is just another sensation that will come and go like all the other sensations and try not to continue thinking about it. It too shall pass and I will keep moving forward. Just keep telling yourself that and maybe it will work for you like it has for me. Stay strong and know that you are fine because your docs have told you that and let the feelings come and go without ruminating over them. Best of luck to you.

Yea I have muscle vibration as well! I’m personal trainer that’s only exercise I’m doing now it’s cycling I feel the most relaxing for me. Weight training I stop for while cause the dizzy and off balance, chest pain scared me a bit, sometime I do a bit training just see how my body go, my body went soft no energy after a few set of light weight! For now I just having chest pain, back muscle pain, jaw pain, dizzy, low energy feel like passing out, fast heart rate sometime..... we just try to do our best
