Weird, uncomfortable sensations in body?

[Marc0133]

I've lately been having sensations in my body that is causing me more discomfort and anxiety. Basically anywhere, be it my arms, legs, chest, anything, I get a small, light pain for a few seconds. Not only that but everytime I go to bed I continue to have skipped heart beats. Its freaking me out! And when I get it near my chest my worries of something wrong with my heart kick in again.

Is this just anxiety symptoms? Thanks.

Yes! Totally normal anxiety symptoms. I've had the heart symptoms you mentioned myself and my heart is perfectly healthy. In my imagination I think I feel the pulse of adrenaline being released due to my anxiety and I feel it release near my heart. Then my heart pounds even more strongly than before. And it also feels like missed beats but I'm not sure it truly is that. I've once described the "adrenaline release" symptom to my psych doc (who is, after all, a Medical Doctor) and he didn't think my description of what it is was accurate.

We feel all kinds of crazy symptoms when in extra anxiety. Weird, but not dangerous. Key words: NOT DANGEROUS. Just something more to put up with. Put your mind elsewhere when at all possible. On positive things that distract you from your symptoms. You know, go take a walk if possible, move your muscles and reduce your fears. Exercise and moving your muscles is a known reducer of anxiety.

Are you being treated by a doctor? I've been assuming you are under a doctor's care and waiting for your meds to be just right. If that's not true, please go see a doctor asap.

Thanks BonnieSue. My mind is easing a wee bit.

To answer your question I've already been prescribed with meds and they're working fine.

[BonnieSue in reply to Marc0133]

Good! ;o) That's what it sounded like was the situation. But let me disagree with you a little bit...If your meds are working fine (to me) you wouldn't have those symptoms at all. Hopefully they are at the right dosage and you'll transition into a place where you don't have any symptoms like you're describing. It can take time, I know, but I'm very glad you're being treated.

Actually I've been on these meds for a long time and this only happened recently. Just thought I point that out.
