Anyone understand these symptoms

[jaar]

Twenty four seven tightness pulling in brain jaw. Sharp pains in temple. Trouble standing, pressure in brain, weakness, heaviness, all around not one functioning or livable feeling or day without symptoms or side affects or knowing which way is which any more. Nothing works or helps

Except for the jaw pulling this is happened to me for 5 days non stop, but I'm having a headache alongside

Do you have a doctor and take meds? I seem to end up worse overall or don't know how to tell if meds help when side affects or the original symptoms change worsen as they so choose and if you can't find what helps or takes it away and other health issues on top of it is confusing to a point of what the heck to do, suffer, know there must be something out there to have a day without this crap

Hi Jaar. If you're suffering from anxiety these symptoms could be caused by the tension you feel. When anxious we feel tense so this can cause (tension) headaches and muscle tension/ heaviness. Anxiety takes a lot of energy so can make you feel weak if you're in this state for a prolonged period of time. Have you tried listening to meditation recordings? I really found them helpful when I was under a lot of stress. Even the ones that play calming noises are relaxing. There's a few good ones in the Apple app store if you have an iphone.

in anxiety disorders, it's very common to experience symptoms around the head, neck and face. these can resemble pain in the jaw, face, head and scalp, like a tight band around your head, pain in the neck. This is perfectly normal for people with anxiety disorders. Any tension caused by high anxiety compresses against nerves and blood vessels around these areas and can cause restrictions that cause pain, tingling, discomfort, tight feelings, you name it! This tension can cause all types of strange and discomforting symptoms around your head

I feel this way twenty four hours a day and didn't feel like this a year or more ago. I'm confused since I've had some anxiety in my life but really feel that something else is wrong but I'm trying to understand if I will never be able to walk, lay down, bend or ever function again or fell like I'm gonna live through a day. Not do to being anyway about myself but do to symptoms side affects no one who believes me and no way to even have a moment without suffering. Sorry to be such a downer but I'm in a bad way right now with this.

yes i understand. As someone with GAD and HA myself, I feel down a lot too due to the overwhelming thoughts of having something seriously wrong with me and the symptoms that come along with it. If you want reassurance, just pay a quick visit to your GP. But remember it can be because of anxiety.

You see, when we continually bombard our nervous system with anxieties our nerves undergo a change. They become highly sensitised and start playing tricks on us. Sensitised nerves are very good at imitating genuine physical illness and they magnify small worries out of all proportion. But I wish you the best!! x
