Hello

I remember some years ago when I started with anxiety it was never spoken about and they certainly were not advanced to be able to list the symptoms that anxiety could cause and to be honest for me I wish there had been a list because most on this list I have had in the past and can still now experience sometimes  and for me it can be reassuring to know this is an anxiety symptom and nothing sinister like my anxiety has always or did always want to tell me 

I do always say get checked out with a Doctor if you have any symptoms first just so they can give you the all clear that nothing physically is wrong and once you have that then accepting anxiety can create these feelings , sensations etc can be the start to over coming it 

Take Care x

I agree bounce it took almost 42 years to come to grips with this ( debilitating disability ) from a medical stand point not a lot is know about anxiety it is usually thrown under the rug by doctors and patients don't get the proper care they need. It is a disease and it effects everything from the cerebral cortex to the frontal lobe? It even effect's the vagus nerve it causes the mind to race constantly and it if left untreated like mine was into a more sinister form!! PTSD or panic disorder just here lately the American medical journal has went as far as saying that anxiety disorders are by far more debilitating then the worst of brain disorders and doctors need too pay more attention to there patients. Tell a full blown person with ptsd to breath deeply or a person having a severe panic attack to take deep breath's!!! The mind does not shut off with breathing exercises it might subdue some of the distress at that moment but relapse is expected as soon as the person stop's?? See that is the worst thing about this disorder what works for one does not work for the other that is the complexity of anxiety. You take the common flu there is a cure?? Or chicken pox there is a cure or rubella there is a cure?? But mental disorders there is only band aids (I.e) med's and most are very powerful!!! Ssri Ssnri's do not work on me they make my anxiety worse busprone does not work it's like a sugar pill and if by chance an Ssri or Ssnri's work they have too be raised at such level's that the persons inability to function is compromised!! For me they have tried it all from bipolar medications to psychotic meds that are extremely dangerous to control   My anxiety!!! The only thing that work's for me is benzo' s 

And that is it!!!! I am what doctors call an extreme resistant serotonin patient and any change to the amount of dopamine or serotonin throws me into shock. I am one of a very few who takes benzo' for life. Sometimes only as needed and sometimes twice daily the good news is that I only take the smallest dose??? But bounce that's not the cure it can't be there had to be a switch a trigger and more scientific research into this disorder in 2016 it has effected more then 300 million people and it keeps sky rocketing every year some are just dope heads looking for drug's others are like all of us on this forum who need a breakthrough.... I only hope one day science will catch up to us and the medical community will start listening to there patients and start learning from them instead of pushing them under the rug?? Get a chance look at the number one reason for hospital emergency room visits?? You will find anxiety related symptom's as the number one culprit under heart attack and stroke. I and you and many of us are some of the greatest survivors known. We have learned to over come day in and day out what most could not?? All though my method's need work it is people like us that is the for front of this disease. We relate to many and continue to strive for a cure till then it's just   Forums and people like us that help those to try to come to reason with anxiety, panic, stress, and a god awful amount of symptoms. God bless bounce🙂

I have been to the E R so many times, feeling like I was having a heart attack/stroke.. horrible, scary symptoms..yet the Dr could never find anything wrong. I do have anxiety attacks frequently n I m on xnax 2x. Daily as needed.i was just put on cymbalta and now I'm experiencing, burning tingling numbness on my face, heart palpitations, throat tightness, breathing difficulty.its been like that for 6 days..my dr.said it's not from the cymbalta because dose is too low.i feel so werid.i don't know what or who to believe.can anxiety get that bad??

[Hidden in reply to Tamlg]

Hello

I forgot all about this post , I mainly spend my time trying to get another anxiety Community active on HU healthunlocked.com/livingwi...

I know from past experience that anxiety can give you all these feelings you are experiencing and also I know in the past that when I have taken medication somewhere in the back of my mind I am aware I have taken it which as soon as I have I have felt all different feelings and then that has given me more anxiety because I swear it must be the meds but if your Doctor is saying no and especially as it is a low dose it is doubtful

You also have to remember that it can at least take 12 weeks before this medication really starts to take effect and help with anxiety but I would give it that length of time unless it gets unbearable and if you feel no better I would go back again and at least your Doctor can't argue that you have given it a fair go

Take Care x

[loglegmomma]

Yeah... I can relate 😞.

But sometimes those come from treatable diseases like Borrelia infections from tick bites, so it's hard to discern when to talk yourself off the ledge & when to be more assertive to find a cause.

[Mike1313]

Always find treatment but these list's of symptoms can also if you have been medically cleared of the heart and body ? Be able too help you to understand what you might be going through?? Never take chest pain lightly or dizziness with chest pain back pain both arm pain if pain comes on with shortness of breath or you feel cold and clammy with sweat or you feel impending doomZ seek medical treatment right away!!!! Chest pain can save your life in the event of a heart attack sometimes months in advance you will have time to see a cardiologist.so never take chest pain lightly. Or stroke sudden dizziness numbness to one side of the body. Unable to speak without slurring your speech. These are medical emergency's to look for?? That could cause sudden death!! And never drive yourself to the hospital!!! Always call an ambulance that is what there here for life saving treatment before you get to your hospital. So get an all clear from your doctor first and if he say's your in the clear and all you have is anxiety or g.a.d or ptsd my list might be able to relieve yourself if some of the acute symptoms of anxiety. Good luck and God bless🙂

[Imys]

After reading this list I'm beginning to feel I might be normal after all.

[Mike1313]

I tell you what after having almost 250,000 dollars in tests 7 surgeries and a butt load of ekg's all that I was having was anxiety!!! It is a crippling disorder.🙂

[hathi999]

Hi Mike,  this is an unbelievable list and I feel fortunate that my anxiety is mild, however in researching my own problems I came up with a list of vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms which covers a great number of the same symptoms you have listed above, could there be a cross over?  Anxiety is a symptom of a vitamin B12 deficiency also.  I have posted the list (100 symptoms on my website - which is actually mainly about my swallowing issues) but you might find the list insightful?  difficulty-swallowing.com/s...

Let me know your thoughts?  B12 supplementation has helped me so much and I could never have guessed that all of my problems could have been solved by something so simple, I thought I would post it in the hope that it might help some more of us with this.  

All the best

Di

[Mike1313 in reply to hathi999]

That is true B-12 deficiency can cause a lot of those symptoms and B-12 is water soluble and easy for the body to get rid of so overdose is hard with that vitamin. I have used b-12 in the past and found that taking high amounts of b-12 gave me heart palpitations but they were short lived. I found that magnesium not only calmed my palpatations but also sort of settled my anxiety symptoms I take 400 mgs a day and sometimes 800 mgs there is no harm in that dosage as long as you have a good kidney and liver function. B-12 is a good vitamin over all and good for the heart as well and used in a lot of energy drinks because of its high metabolic way in which it acts on the human body. It speeds up the metabolism in the body so if you need a good pick me up b-12 is a good one for you but be warned as it can also speed the heart up as well.

[OM1990 in reply to hathi999]

How often do you take supplementation ? Do you take a pill or injection ?
