Always something..

I swear if it's not one thing, it's another. My symptoms get worse everyday. My chest pains scare me.. Head pressure, Like my muscles are literally in knots in my face. And I get horrible migraines. I don't know what to do anymore. I get random left arm pains every single day. Different parts of my arm too. I want to go to the ER, but it's always the same answer.. anxiety. I really need some reassurance that it's nothing serious. I mean I get through it everyday, it's just destroying me honestly. :(

I understand ebbbet how symptoms from anxiety can destroy one's life.  The muscles

that are literally in knots in your face are also tight in your chest as well.  Head pressure is another part of anxiety that produces muscle tension/contraction

headaches which are just as painful as migraines.  Random left arm pains can come from holding our bodies rigid giving us muscle knots/trigger points up and down the arm. Apparently you have been to the ER on a number of times telling you it is anxiety. I know how hard that is to believe when it just goes on and on.  Are you on any medication or having therapy?  It would help so that you can work on other alternatives in reducing your symptoms.  It's interesting isn't it, how the "anxiety bully" keeps us guessing by always giving us something new to worry about.   Take care..x

I know where your  coming from I have had headaches for one month now but I'm 50 years old and probably going into perimenopause not looking forward to that.  I think that's where my headaches come from because I'm warm one minute cold the next plus I had anxiety bad for about two weeks been great the last couple days though but I have a doctors appointment today for my headaches and to talk about menopause so that brings out a bit of exciting. There are so many different things that could happen in your body and the thoughts that you have bring on more anxiety so just take a couple deep breasts do something that you enjoy doing like I planted some flowers yesterday just to get your mind on something else hope this helps you try to have a good day think positive

This also happens to me. I get arms pains everywhere either a finger or my shoulder but always on the Left side and its scary. Makes you feel like a heart attack is coming. (But never does) i suffer from migraines for many years now. Ive gotten Ct scans of my brain and its clear. Chest pains are thw worse for me that really scares me. It takes my breathe away "LITERALLY" ugh i hate it.

Yeah it's really hard to get through one whole day without chest pains. I have acid reflux though so I know that could add to it. but the arm pains freak me out! ! they know how to get to me. I get pains right in the center of my chest. that's the worst ones.. I get really nervous and I just start to touch my chest and push on it to see if it relieves any pain but mostly I just wait it out until it goes away. I can tell we both go through this everyday. :(

I've been told its anxiety but after being persistent, have been diagnosed with Lyme, a torn tendon, thoracic outlet syndrome, and a herniated cervical disc, SVT's, and Barrett's Esophagus.  So.... listen to your body.
