Anxiety and being sick at same time

The last ten days or so have been really rough. My anxiety was already amped. The jelly arms and legs, feeing tire and frequent palpitations/skipped beats was already going on. Then last Monday morning, I wake up in the throws of a sinus infection. That finally started improving this past weekend. Then we went to my grandson's birthday party Sunday afternoon. Monday evening, I was hit hard with a nasty bout of food poisoning. I'm just now coming back from that. All through this, the anxiety symptoms haven't let up. I've been miserable. We have my 4 year old grandson this Saturday for an overnight. I just want to enjoy him. I'm so tired of being sick and tired : (.

Sorry your having bad events. The best thing I ever did was go to Accupuncture. Allergies gone. I hope soon my anxiety and dizziness goes too. I wakeup in the middle of the night with panic attacks. Not even a nightmare. A panic attack. What did you eat that caused food poisoning? I’m at the gym. I’m trying to fight back this anxiety and health problems. Seems like a lot of us have one thing then the next. I can’t wait until it’s the good times rolling. I hope you feel better so you can have a nice visit with your grandson.

Hi,

I really feel for you when you say you just want to enjoy your grandson.

I have mine coming to stay for four days soon, 4 year old twins and a 9 year old....it sounds a lot, but they are such lovely children. I take them out and cook etc.

But I am not my normal self, underneath the coping I am terrified by my anxiety symptoms, shaky, feeling sick, jelly legs, terrible muscle tension and a dodgy stomach to boot, which I think stems from all the fear!

So you are not alone. Sorry you have been poorly, it does all seem to be worse when you suffer anxiety symptoms. Last night my husband convinced me to have a glass of wine, which I normally would enjoy....it made me feel terrible and upset my stomach.

I've heard that if your body is hyperstimulated by all this anxiety, it will react differently to a lot of things you once called normal!

Who knows???
