Physical symptoms

[Stephanie89]

I was just curious as to what are some of the physical symptoms other people suffer with that seem very bothering or not like “normal”

Pains in chest, back, legs, arm shooting sensations in my head, blurry vision.

That’s exactly how I feel I hate the pain in my legs sometimes hurts and feels weak at the same time and always weird sensations in my head and tingling in my body

Dizziness, stomach issues, pains in head, insomnia, grinding my teeth. Unfortunately, the list can go on and on. I have health anxiety. Its a nightmare.

Yes it is a nightmare that I wish I can wake up from i suffer the same things u listed with a whole bunch more to add to the list is mentally and physically draining

I have asthma. Going through anxiety about my asthma right now. It never ends.

Waves of nausea, intense nervousness that all wash over me quickly, but leave me drained. Feels like I’m about to drop, have a stroke, die.

That’s how I feel sometimes like a frozen state almost and it freaks me out even more

Stephanie are you on any meds for anxiety? I just got my Lexapro bumped up from 10 to 20 mg. Doc says I should feel better in about 2 weeks. (Why does that feel like 2 years?!?) I’ve got a two-tea-bag cup of kava and camomile tea brewing right now! Let’s keep the faith!

No i currently am not waiting to see a psychiatrist to get meds I tried lexapro for 2 weeks made me feel like on fire and didn’t work for me but I’m hoping to find one that will cuz it’s taking over my life not even teas work I have faith it will get better it’s just a hard struggle day by day

Not to worry! Battling anxiety is a very individual thing. No one approach works for all. Just keep trying until you find what works for you. Happy to chat and provide support — it’s good to meet you!

[Stephanie89 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you so much and I believe I will

It’s good to meet u to and to have each other support from one person to another ❤️

I get ringing in my ears at times. Feel a bit weak but that might be the medication I'm on. I've has nasal problems for years, lots of drainage which makes me hot and cold and some congestion in the chest. I never know if physical symptoms cause the anxiety or visa versa. Probably both are true. In any case it's not fun.
