Stress and extreme tiredness

[bourne62]

Does anyone else feel so tired weak, shaky no energy etc. Can anxiety really do this

[Hidden]

It can but it can also be a variety of other things too.

Is there anything else you can tell us? Do you feel stressed? A lot going on? Feel nervous about something? Eating properly? Drinking OK? Urine output OK?

Something a bit more concrete would really help.

I believe stress can leave you with very little energy and make you feel really tired because your using energy

I feel exactly the same way.

Yes, it can...it's very discouraging... I do have some days in which I have more energy and am always grateful for those... The only thing I might suggest is that you have your Adrenals checked... you can Google Adrenals and Anxiety and get helpful info... and then perhaps follow the suggestions about extra Vit C and B and other helpful ideas. My IBS causes a LOT of my anxiety...so its a double battle sometimes. Good luck to you.

Hi,

Thanks for replies, I have suffered constant anxiety over my health for 2 years. Latest worry was a brain tumour, headaches now much better so I thought i would bounce back straight away but I have not. Had blood tests scans all ok. I am just so feed up of feeling ill. Just sitting eating a meal I feel exhausted, getting out of bed etc. Which is not like me.

I have had many symptoms come and go but this fatigue is awful, just wondered if anxiety can do this. Has anyone else suffered with it. I am not anemic, diabetic or have thyroid problems, all checked recently, have had cts and mris on all organs except brain in last 10 months, even lymph nodes scanned all clear, had retinal specialist check back of eyes ok so drs and tests not the answer I finally realise after spending thousands on these tests.

Would be great to know of others with this. I tried twice to post a fuller story but it would not post so posted 2 lines and yes, it accepted it so apologies for not being clearer

I feel like this quite often and so do many other anxiety sufferers it is hard to believe it's from anxiety though
