I have had severe anxiety in the past. I struggled like everyone here and thanks to everybody's input here I have been able to get my life back. I still get episodes here and there but I am able to calm myself down.
Lately at work though I have been getting this weird feeling when I get under pressure. I get overwhelmed and all of a sudden I get this feeling like my blood pressure is sky rocket. I have checked my bp at these moments and my readings have been normal. I start to notice my hands shake and my neck and back start to ache. I get this numbness feeling on my face and it moves throughout my body.
I have been trying to do calming breathing exercises and taking breaks away from the desk and it seems to help a little.
I just don't know if this is normal stress or if there is something else going on...
Hi, just read your post.
I think what you explain is completely normal and we all get it, I sure do ?
Try wearing a good elastic band on your wrist and every time it starts to happen ping it damn hard a couple of times ?
I think you will find it stops that feeling your getting of high blood pressure lol
When it happens to me my vision goes blurry also does your ?
Hope this helps.
Oh yea... the blurry vision. That's when I know I have reached my limit. I definitely need to find something to distract my anxious mind. Thank you for your advice.
Pray and read the. Bible only god can help. Gbu
Yep I'm hearing u . My vision goes smokey and really off balance then I know my bp has spiked it's a terrible feeling
Yea it sucks! It feels good to know that I'm not the only one who gets these weird feelings. Makes you wonder and that's what makes anxiety kick in. Thank you for sharing. This forum has made things easier to deal with.
