Anxiety, corona, sinus or what? Please throw me a life preserver.

Is there anyone experiencing exhaustion for no reason, shortness of breath, cough with phlegm, back ache, shoulders weighted down, sometimes feel off balance, vision off sometimes & there is probably more just can't think right now. Even @ my age some times I want to go back to the state where my mom lives, crawl in her bed just to feel safe. I don't wanna deal with nothing any more. I try & ride stuff out, but I don't wanna ride anymore, I wanna get off. 😢😢😢😢😢

Hi bluetj I have experienced those symptoms when I first got diagnosed with anxiety the blurred vision not being able to concentrate feeling like your in derealization. It is exhausting. What is triggering all of this are you worried. Is it coronavirus by any chance? When I got diagnosed with anxiety I got told I had a sinus infection and was all congested. At this moment in time. I have also again felt like I have been congested like i have phlegm in back of my throat I had a cough for about 2 days wasn't a bad cough just like at night I would cough a little. Had blood in my nose and feel like my throat is tight and it's all red at the back and I am also worried about this coronavirus and won't ring gp because my anxiety stops me. Also the pollen count has been very high where I live so it's really confusing. I do think your symptoms do sound anxiety related as the vision is one main symptom I experienced and also the exhaustion.

I’m going through some of the same symptoms, especially the blurred vision, exhaustion and concentration. It seems to be worse in the mornings and a little better in the afternoon/evenings. I spoke with my doctor and he said could be allergies, maybe a bug and anxiety all combined. I’m pushing through and trying to be mindful of my current situation but it sucks. Not sure I helped but I there with you.

I use to feel worse in the mornings it so can be anxiety and just a minor bug or allergies and your anxiety brings on all these symptoms and your body goes sensitive to normal bodily sensations. Hope you feel better soon I know it's not a nice feeling atall x

Thanks, did you take any meds or just wait it out?

[L1994 in reply to MustangMac]

I did end up going in sertraline. These made me sk much worse at first. I had so many side affects from the medication but was just told to ride it through and it was hell. so after about 5 week I got put on 100mg sertraline and that's when I found them to work and my anxiety did seem to go.

[Bluetj in reply to MustangMac]

yea, my seems to be worse in the morning when I am at work. As long as I am at home, sitting or laying down seems like I do a whole lot better

There is a Covid-19 ADAA resource, give it a click and you will hopefully pick up some tips and explanation there

At the moment there is a great deal of pollen from flowers plants and farmers fields. The farmer next to us has planted Oilseed Rape, the field is bright yellow and the smell of the flowers really get up my nose and it makes me sneeze, as it sets up my pollen ALLERGY.
