Wondering?

Does anyone with anxiety find it hard to eat, and not hungry at all.  Food just does not appeal to me at all.  I eat, but not a lot.

Yes, but I had a feeling like a "lump" in my throat, and I could only drink soup for a time.

Luckily I beat anxiety.

congratulations! How long did you have anxiety, and what were your symptoms?

also wondering if anyone has a dull pain in their chest, and a burning sensation that comes and goes, whenever it wants to?

Hi I go through stages of hardly eating a thing for weeks , gagging at the thought of food. Then bang I'm just so hungry all I want is food ?? Go figure

I do the same thing. The thought of food  can gag me one day and the next be fine. Just weird.

Anxiety is a curse. I get burning in my chest and dull pains that can last a while. Happens when it wants without even being anxious. Also get twitching in the chest area.

That's exactly what I say,  have you had any tests?  It may be a gastric problem I have gallstones and gastritis so u get thise kinda symptoms with that I can have severe chest pain but it's due to my stomach

I do not have any stomach problems. I have not had any tests.  The only thing my doctor wants to do, is put me on antidepressants. Not happening.

Oh right don't you want to rely or tablets or do you have a phobia? I myself have a fear of meds but I do take them only because if I hadn't have started when I did I don't think I'd be alive now

Twinkle333. What type of meds are you on?  What were your symptoms that you need to be on the meds for. Do they help those symptoms?

I'm take pregablin it's an anti epileptic and pain meds really Hut works well for anxiety also as it works on the nervous system, well when I first started taking them they really wer a wonder drug I was at a stage with anxiety that I was hospitalised being really poorly and very under weight I was put on pregablin and with in two weeks I felt amazing after having 20/30 pain attacks a day before that,  I gained weight and left hospital after 5 weeks I can honestly say of I'd not taken them I'd have been dead by now I've had other drugs that didn't work half as well in the past so I stick with these now

Does anyone ever just get a pain without being anxious? I feel I get that a lot. Just wondering if this is still from anxiety?
