Body Feels Out of Control

[toast122]

My body feels out of control. I am so anxious as I don’t know what’s happening to me. My last 2 posts give a bit of background. I’ve been sick for over 3 weeks and thought I was finally getting better. The doctor suspected covid but I was swabbed twice and both came back negative.

Today I woke up and lost my voice. My symptoms have been getting progressively worse. I’m currently laying down unable to get up. I’m having:

-extreme muscle aches and pains

-nausea

-worst sore throat I’ve ever had

-swollen lymph nodes, hard to breathe

-burning tongue

-trouble breathing

-stomach pain

-chest pain

-extreme fatigue

I feel like I am dying and I don’t know what to do anymore

Hi Tat122!

I see no one has replied so I thought I’d be the first to jump in.

I took the liberty of flicking through your posts which go back 4 years or more. Sorry that you have been suffering for so long but on a positive note, you have coped very well, knowing personally how debilitating chronic anxiety can be.

Obviously I have no idea about your medical history and I’m not a doctor but have no doubt that anxiety is playing a big part by exaggerating all those thoughts and feelings about your current crop of physical symptoms. My advice would be to book another appointment with your doctor if you still have those symptoms. It is possible that some of those symptoms might be stress induced. I know I complained to my doctor about chest pains ( an elephant sat on my chest), lumps in the throat, IBS, blurred vision, aching jaw and lots of others I have forgotten about. However, your doctor can check you over just to be sure that all is ok. I think youth is still very much on your side so the likelihood of anything being seriously wrong is very slim, in my opinion.

If all is ok, I would then look to start tackling your anxiety disorder which you do not have to put up with. You can overcome it all once you truly understand what is happening and lose your fear of the symptoms of anxiety in all its various guises e.g. agoraphobia, ocd, health, relationship & social anxiety etc etc).

At this point, I would normally write chapter and verse about my recovery and the books that I read to help me recover (and how they will help you) but it’s late here so I’m just going to suggest you read some of my posts on this forum. There are plenty and all based on my personal experiences on the road to recovery through acceptance of the symptoms. Much the same symptoms you appear to have been struggling with for some time. It doesn’t matter how long you have been suffering, recovery is waiting to happen.

Best wishes
