Symptoms

[Lucky-]

Let’s talk about your anxiety symptoms and what you experience!

I have a few. I have really bad headaches every day, dizziness, feeling faint, derealisation, shortness of breath (everyday for the past 4 years), that horrible feeling of fear in the pit of your stomach (for no reason), tingling/weak feeling in both arms, racing hear/heart palpitations, sweating, hot flushes, the list goes on. Does anyone else experience any of these? Or something different?

Hi!

Thank you for sharing your symptoms. I find this really helps me that I’m not alone.

I have: Mine are 24/7 and they are:

-constant Lightheadedness/faint feelings

-racing heart

-skipped beats

-butterflies in tummy

-general feeling of dread

-shortness of breath

[Lucky- in reply to Minnie87]

May I ask how you deal with the constant head symptoms?

[Minnie87 in reply to Lucky-]

Honestly? Some days I don’t. Some days it’s overwhelming. But other days I just try my hardest to push through and take the symptoms along with me. How about you?

[Lucky- in reply to Minnie87]

Pretty much the same. I wake up with these feelings every single day. You’d think after a while we just get used to them and know it’s anxiety but each day it frightens me

[Minnie87 in reply to Lucky-]

Same! Today I feel horrific. Just took my son for a walk and literally thought I was going to pass out. I will never get used to it either

Yes I have the hot flushes when feeling anxious. Not sure if it’s due to my age with the menopause as well. I get sweaty palms & feet & feel sick. It helps me to get on with doing something to take your mind off it then the symptoms ease. I am sure that having too much alchohol the day before can make hot flushes worse. Hope this helps.x

Omg Lucky....Having read your post and replies I realise I am not suffering alone. I feel as though I am about to fold up. I am aware that too much texting is causing the weak feelings in my arms to feel worse and have been having altered sensation in the hand that holds my phone . ...I feel stiffness in almost all my muscles. I hope and pray we can all find the way to manage our anxiety. x
