I think you and I have similar symptoms. I am shaky everyday especially my legs. I was sick at the start of my anxiety but that is better now.

My everyday symptoms are

Shaky

Lightheaded

Short of breath

Heart palpitations

Confusion/forgetfulness

Symptoms that come and go-

Body aches especially in the legs

Vibrations in various parts of the body but mainly feet legs and hands/fingers, I've had it in my head a few times and it's so disturbing

Calf twitching

Speech problems

Fatigue

That's all I can think of and they are my current symptoms but I have experienced many more especially when it first started.

Yeah my symptoms have all of them but also get pressure in my head ear fullness jaw muscles feel tense qnd been burning up lately and had really sensitive teeth I can't cope with it the mornings are the worst for me as soon as I wake up I can't get back to sleep and the shaking what I have learned is to twitch your leg for a little while Shaking is a sign of the adrenalin leaving your body so the more you shake the better the shaking will get at times o feel like my teeth are chattering like I am cold and also my eyes feel so heavy xxx

Nope I haven't found anything that has helped me I just feel as I am getting worse and I really do question everyday is this really anxiety because I can't even find anything that sets it off it just comes from no where xxx

Yes it is normal, have you seen your GP and are you taking medications or talking therapy

Asked them about CBT and they said that if it gets any worse that's the next step but I honestly don't know how much worse it can get xx

Yeah i have asked for CBT and they said that I have to wait to see if it gets any worse to get CBT because I have to go through my doctors for it and I am on sertraline and been on it for a week now but I just hate this feeling that something is going to happen to me like a heart attack or something. I feel like going to the doctors every day because it's that bad I actually feel like I'm really ill and going to vomit. Xxx

I know the feeling!!

Can you not self refer then for cbt I had to gp gave me number but I had to do it myself

I've got clitropram which I'm starting Monday also on amatryptyline

But if you go to the gp they can give you something for the nausea!!

I once was nearly sick when I experienced chest pain first time

Sometimes the medication can make things worse before they get better N can take 4-8 week before they are in ye systom N start to take effect xx
