Horrible anxiety symptoms

[SAP1983]

I’ve had horrible anxiety symptoms on and off for a year, developing health anxiety and being worried about MS. I’ve seen my GP, neurologists and had CT and MRI and the all day I have anxiety.. I’ve had symptoms from tingling/numbness, brain fog, heavy arms, legs feel weird, horrible muscle tension, to now today my face feels like a tight band around it and eyes feel strained. I feel like I’m going crazy! Anyone else have crazy symptoms?

My health anxiety started up in late January of this year and had many symptoms similar to yours. Tingling and weakness on my left side, dizziness, headaches, muscle cramping in my legs and hands, twitching, shortness of breath. Since, I have had blood drawn multiple times, a CT scan, an MRI of brain and neck and just got the results back from a lumbar puncture. Everything has been normal. I couldn't accept that the symptoms were just due to my nervous system being on high alert all the time so I had to get every test I could think of. Though I feel stupid for spending a large amount of money on the tests I am happy I now have peace of mind.

Yes! Exact same thing here! My brain just won’t accept this could be anxiety

This has happened to me 3 times and all I can say is keep asking the questions at the docs and eventually something inside you will click and you will accept that it is anixity

Me but all the docs say it’s not ms. Do your symptoms come and go throughout the day ? I only have mine for about 10 mins at a time

I still have symptoms but they are a very light version of what I was experiencing a couple months ago. I should preface this by saying I am currently taking Prozac and have been for 2 months. I have had a lot of success with this medication but I know its not for everyone.

I have had awful symptoms for the last 4 weeks after a panic attack - constant chest discomfort, random nerve pains, weak legs, face tingling. I am having tests for all sorts - I’ve had bloods, chest X-ray, ecg (all those were normal) and am waiting for results of glandular fever, lymes disease and to have a cardiac 24 hour tape. Never been so debilitated - can’t work, walk far so lie in bed a lot. It’s awful and I’m scared it’s a serious illness. The doctor is doing what she can but the wait for tests is crazy and I don’t know what’s wrong with me - it’s on my mind all the time.
