Can my anxiety be there even tho I'm not anxious about anything?
Because I'm having a lot of symptoms related to anxiety such as the entire body feeling numb and empty, chest and throat tightness with a lump-like sensation in my throat which makes it difficult for me to swallow I also have difficulty breathing and heart burn. But, there's no specific reason why I'm anxious. I just don't have a clue.
Ur answers would be highly appreciated
Thanksssss
LovePop, without a doubt you can have anxiety symptoms w/o feeling anxious
about anything in particular. That is because of the free floating adrenaline in
our bodies. (That never really goes away. ) Add to that our heightened subconscious
thoughts and over sensitized nervous system and your body just responds to all
that stress w/o there being a particular reason

Hi Agora thank u so much for that information. I was getting a bit worried.❤
I’m feeling all of these symptoms and it’s been driving me nuts! I know deep down that it’s just anxiety, but it scares me when I’m just lying around relaxing and suddenly I feel like I can’t catch my breath. I went to the ER not too long ago because of my health anxiety as well. The dr told me that when we notice a symptom, even as small as a cough, we start to overthink which heightens the anxiety and even more symptoms. I hope that you start to feel better love! Feel free to message me if you ever need to xx ❤️
Also, I’ve been having the terrible heartburn/acid reflux hours after I’ve eaten anything and it’ll happen randomly and makes me so annoyed. I hate the dizziness feeling I’ve been getting and my legs have been feeling like jello.
Heyyy the same happen to me as well I also feel nauseous for no valid reason
With a whole bunch of other symptoms
Thanks dear I hope u feel better too and that what the doc said makes sense cause it happens to me if I barely have a headache I start thinking the worse it can be and to me I feel worse so I tried to be positive as much as I can
But somehow I still feel anxious although ik on not anxious about anything . ughh!!!
I often wonder the same thing. Its like my anxiety just sneaks up on me. I feel as if its just a chemical imbalance in the brain. Im seeing a neurologist trying to figure it all out.
I went to two neurologist and one diagnosed me with epilepsy and the other did an EEG and the reading showed everything was normal but she still was giving me epilepsy meds
12 years I've been using meds for something I don't have I'm just tired of this
I think so? Everything's ok, but at the same time I'm feeling anxious and dont know Why? Then that makes me MORE anxious cause something doesn't feel right?
Yessss this happen to me sometimes I would just be relaxing and all of a sudden I get this anxious tummy feeling with chills and goosebumps it just sucks so muchhhh
Iv been like this for a year , adrenaline there and I'm not even worried or thinking of anything it's just there. Then came the physical symptoms that I now suffer along with the anxiousness..it ain't fun but your not alone...
Ohh my a year I've been having mine for a few months and I just don't think I can deal with this any longer 😭😭😭 I hope u get better though☺
Same to you, happy halloween
It can be a problem with your brains “software”. I have functional neurological disorder FND which some doctors believe is caused by stress. I had been experiencing a tingling prickling and vibrating sensation throughout my body for about a week and one day I got up from bed and felt a heavy weight on the right side of my face. I looked at the mirror and it had drooped and I thought I had a stroke. I went to hospital and my tests came back normal and they said my brain computer hardware is normal but there is a problem with the brains software. There is no cure but can do physical therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help manage your symptoms. I was twitching, losing my balance, could hardly walk, numbness, blurry vision, a heaviness on my chest, problems breathing and swallowing and tremors and heart rhythm irregularities. This was not fake and did cause havoc on my body. I was asked if something traumatic happened to me because when the doctors can’t find an answer to something they always blame stress. I said no, I was actually relaxing and reading a book when it happened. I had been in the emergency room in the past for what they thought was a panic attack even though there was nothing stressful happening and I never agreed with that. Like computers, some brains malfunction and it is genetic. Some family members have neurological issues including tremors for no obvious medical reason. There is still so much about the brain doctors still don’t know and they don’t know what or why this has happened to me. It took me a while to “accept” my symptoms but I still experience daily symptoms no matter my mood. I’ve been to a psychiatrist and even he said there is nothing to treat because you are not in emotional distress. So yes sometimes you are causing these symptoms with your anxiety but for others their symptoms happen through no fault of their own and will suffer long term no matter how much help or acceptance they get. Do not dismiss the suffering these real symptoms cause and accept that it’s not always your fault, and it’s a problem with the brain that you cannot control, it’s genetic.
Hi AjaStar thanks for that sorry to hear u go through this. Can a EEG detect FND?
No it would come back normal like all the other tests. You get diagnosed by a positive neurological exam and your symptoms
You sure can. My panic attacks started when I was in high school and early on in college, some of the happiest times of my life with minimal stress. For me, I had to go on medication for a bit so I could start going out of the house again and living life. Best of luck!
Absolutely. You say you’re not anxious but as soon as you feel one of those sensations you focus on it and guess what.......you’re anxious.
Anxiety doesn’t like being put on the back burner, it’ll throw a little symptom in there now and then so you know it’s still there.
Hi I also wonder the same thing. Can we have anxiety without feeling anxious!? Today I've been off really off. I was trying yo figure out what I'm anxious over.
