I can’t seem to eat with anxiety

[Natsteveo]

As many of you know I’ve had a few bad days with HA with losing my uncle and the quick unexpected death of my son in laws mum..

Well I’ve had quite a calm day my hubby took me out in his car to calm me down as my anxiety has been on and off all day..

I’ve still been getting hot face and palpitations

But all I’ve done is drink juice or water can’t bring myself to have a cuppa tea for some reason also I’ve not eaten all day so made hubby some dinner and I had a small amount of food I tried about 3 mouthfuls and I had this sudden rush of heat and couldn’t eat anymore it’s like I had a sickness rush and just was burning up

Does anyone else know why this is happening I’m worried

Hello. I am having a bad time at the moment too. I haven’t been able to eat properly for 8 days. I’ve been forcing down porridge, yoghurts, jellies, blended fruit and soup. My stomach is hungry but my throat doesn’t want to swallow it. It’s like someone is chocking me and making me feel sick.

I don’t even know if this is anxiety. As you might have seen from my other posts it started with pins and needles which is still also there. I’ve really had enough of this now. It’s ruining my summer holidays with the kids.

I do hope you are better soon just know that this won’t last forever, you will feel better and you can message me any time

Thanks so much Amy

I’ve got the same at the minute last night my hands started with pins and needles too had to call an ambulance I thought I was having a heart attack but lucky it was just a panic anxiety attack it’s just my eating pattern is off just like yours

I be glad when we start to feel abit better again this is a constant nightmare

Same goes to you too

It’s awful isn’t it. I’ve been so worried about the pins and needles, muscle twitches and other strange feelings that I think I’ve made myself even more sick with anxiety. I’m a nightmare. I have had bloods done and my thyroid level is slightly raised so I am wondering if there is a problem with that as my throat feels funny like there is a lump there but it could just be the anxiety.

What are you like in the nights? Ive not been sleeping well at all.

Your not a nightmare any your just suffering from anxiety and worry about your health

Believe it or not when we get stressed or anxious our thyroid and other parts swell sometimes when my daughter who’s 23 gets stressed one of her lymph nodes swell up abit and goes down after a few days she’s had it looked at drs done bloods everything came back ok 👍

Everyone are different if your worried definitely go and get checked for peace of mind babe

I really am worried something is wrong. This came on more or less over night. I was completely fine before going to work etc. I’ve had two lots of bloods done all normal except slightly raised thyroid levels. I’ve been put on propranolol but it’s not helping the symptoms at all but it does make me feel a bit calmer. xx

I was woken up with anxiety again this morning a feeling of dread that something bad is going to happen I had chills burning skin sweats tingling in my hands and feet felt my heart come out my chest I know it’s all anxiety but I can’t convince my self conscience that that’s all it is and I’m the same way as you worried something is wrong . I’m on propranolol for anxiety did the dr say anything about the levels being raised
