Health Anxiety Symtpoms

[janeths466]

I have had anxiety for about ten years now and ugh it is so hard to cope. I am getting my MRI soon to rule out brain tumors or any condition I am currently paranoid of because I am convinced, but keeping my faith that there is nothing wrong. I have so many symptoms I cannot even.

I have had ringing ears for years. I get stuffy noses in the morning and runny nose. I have headaches in the morning as well when my nose is too stuffy. Recently I have had lots of migraines and cluster headaches. I have been under very stressful family situations. Now I have a sore throat that also makes my tongue sore. I check my lymph nodes every day to see of they are big. My eye floaters concern me even though I went to the ophthalmologist and he said it is fine. I feel like I hear less with my left ear sometimes. I feel like one side of me is weak, even though I do my regular things. I notice little things until I get them. I have hand tremors now. I have confusion at time. Depersonalization. Earache. It is so annoying. Also lights annoy me alot. I have had the unbalance feeling as well. Even though when I stand I cannot fully feel it, but in my mind I am just unsteady. I feel faint. Like if I have something, which is possible, I do not think it has that many symptoms haha. I even get neck burning or arm pains. I am 21.

What are you alls health anxiety symptoms? Can they really get that bad?

Of course I am going to the doctor once again, but like it is so many things! I panic too much.

You are not alone. I suffer alot of physical symptoms with anxiety. I went to a doc and she told me they are all anxiety related. Some of my physical symptoms are: left side pains, shoulder pain, throat pains and cheast pain. Sometimes i feel like i cant brearhe at night. My ears ring and im always scared im going to go def. It is worrysome! But the more we fret and feed into our physical aymptoms the more frequient and prominant they become. Do these aymptoms ever happen when you are having fun? Laughing with a friend? Watching a good movie or reading a good book? For me most of them dont if they do its miniscule. That is how i could tell it was "all in my head" the symptoms still persist but some have gone away. I havent thought of them, therefore they are gone. Hopefully this will put your mind to ease.

That is the interesting thing! I am at home and I feel like I am dying and that I need a doctor as soon as possible. But yesterday I was talking with my friend and laughing the whole time as she gave me a ride home and it was as if my life was perfect and no symptoms. Then I get home and fall back into this hole of pains. But yeah when I am very distracted they ease. Exept the ringing ears they do come randomly but after long days. Maybe once every other month. But yeah anxiety is weird😪 I also cured these for 2 years when i began working out and stuff, but now they creeped back in and I convinced myself of the worst. Best of wishes and thanks for the reply!

The hardest part about anxiety is tricking your mind that you are fine all the time. I get ringing all the time. I would check with an ear doc if it persist or gets really loud. Wishing you the best! Hang in there!

Anxiety sucks!! I been dealing with it for years. As I’m reading your post I’m sitting here thinking wow I’m not alone. When I’m home I also feel like everything is wrong. I feel dizzy all day my chest hurts.. I’ve been to the ER so many times I’ve lost count. In my mind there’s always something wrong and all my test always come back normal. So I know it’s my anxiety. I’ve read so many ways to cope with it and I refused to be on medication at some point because I felt like if I could deal with it while being pregnant for nine months I can definitely cope it now. It’s hard though. Wish you luck and will be praying for all of us to feel better 🙏

Hi Janet's,

I have all your symptoms, mine is anxiety too, and now anxiety about my symptoms.

A lot of mine I also put down to unconsciously clenching my jaw in my sleep and throughout the day. Fondly known as TMJ or TMD. Temporomandibular joint/ Disorder.

I have so many symptoms, unbalanced feeling, nausea, ringing in my ears, jaw and face ache, tight, burning neck, shoulder and back muscles, these give me the nausea jelly legs, aching during arm muscles, wake up in the night like it sometimes and can't get my breath.

My initial anxiety started me off clenching my jaw, and now I feel I have all these added effects... I have tried mouth guards and all sorts to no avail.

I really have to address my way of living.

I have always been a get it done now type of person and a worrier which hasn't helped at all.

But I do hope this helps you a little bit.

One last thing, I did have an MRI and all was clear. To put your mind at rest get checked out, you should anyway, and then you can concentrate on getting through this anxiety. Wysereveryday is absolutely right with the distraction, I had a whole day out last week with a friend, I was dreading it, but I felt normal and relaxed all day!!

Best Wishes

I an glad you were able to get the mri and that you are healthy. Honestly, I wish u the best❤️ I have lived in this dark place before and got out of it, but now I am back and feel like it is a health thing idk why. I have a burning scalp and neck, I have sinus problems so I dont even know anymore. My left muscles are sore. My throat. But also when I am out with my family I feel good. Sometimes I get episodes if sadness and depersonalization which suck on top of this😪 It is horrible! But hopefully I can get through it again.
