[John12]

theres no way all these that are happening inside me and all the pains and other stuff are through anxiety what are proples symptoms?x

[Araminta]

If you log on to anxiety centre.com, it lists all the possible symptoms associated with anxiety and there are loads of them, most of which seem to affect the people on here. Have you talked them through with your GP?

[John12 in reply to Araminta]

yes told them everything they look at me like am going mad

[John12 in reply to Araminta]

and i no ive seen ill the symptoms just wondering if anyones else has them

[Kaz12345]

hi John, agree with Araminta, I think there are many and you would be surprised that some of them are caused by anxiety. my own favourite, lol, is gagging and wretching, luckily I only do this first thing in the morning.

But can include, palpitations, headaches, dizziness, feeling of fainting, feeling of a lump in throat, noises in ears, stomach pains, sweating, sweaty palms, pins and needles, tingling. Please do talk it over with your gp so he/she can reassure you.

[Kaz12345]

Sorry John, cross posted. I see you've spoke to your gp.

Dizziness, feeling faint, heart palpatations, nausea, headaches, pins & needles in hands & feet, numbness in limbs, upset stomach, indigestion, hot fulshes, tiredness, vertigo, tinitus...... The list does go on. Go back to your GP, or request to see another doc if your not happy. see a counceller too, as sometimes when you have anxiety it can be hard to explain yourself properly. Best of luck, dont be afraid to ask for help, we will help you on here too x x x

Hello, I've worried that I have a heart problem for 3 years now ever since my first missed beat. I had it checked with specialists and nothing to be worried about at all. I've had a bad year with a hip injury and what with me being a worrier still worrying about heart. In the last 3 months I've had the most horrific time thinking I'm dying all the time. Ill be watching tv then suddenly get pain in chest or arm or throat goes tight and I am convinced I am dying! I've seen countless drs been to out of hours 3 times in a month and still I was convinced something was wrong with my heart. I saw a heart specialist today who reassured me that my heart is really healthy. It's hard to accept that it's all anxiety when I'm getting symptoms of a heart attack but I am now receiving help to help me accept and deal with anxiety

[John12 in reply to Hidden]

Helo same I have had numerous ECG test and blood test and they say I'm fine but the pains and other weird symptoms is so unreal what symptoms do u get x

[Hidden]

I get missed heart beats and have done for 3 years. I don't get anxious or worried about things in every day life I could just be loading the dish washer then it feels like someone has punched me in chest. I feel fine after but for those few seconds it's scary. I randomly get a stabbing pain in my chest that lasts a few seconds. I get it in my arm. I don't get app the hot sweats etc tho. That's y I found it hard to accept that's it is anxiety and not a heart related problem. It also happens so randomly like whn watching tv. It's v frustrating x

[John12 in reply to Hidden]

Hi everyone

I have been having terrible????? dont know what to call them but the feeling I get is my heart is filling up and stops beating then WHACK starts again . This is continuous sometimes for hours. I am waiting to have have the 24 hr tape on but its not til April 10th. I walk 4 mile a day at a fast pace and do not get any pain,breathlesness or skipped beats while exercising. These are frightening the life out of me. I get them more when not doing anything. I am 61yr old and suffer Health Anxiety anyway.

Naughty I know but I googled Vagas Nerve on You Tube. Found this fascinating as it says many symptoms mimic what I have and nothing to do with the Heart..What I do notice is I tend to close my arms in with tension and shoulders are up in the air like Honey Monsters lol

[Hidden]

I get that. The reason you don't get it when exercising is became your heart is healthy! It is working fine. It is more likely to happen for no reason when you're resting because your heart rate is slower so your heart has time to get a little extra kick in or miss a beat. If you're fine when exercising then everything is good x

[Pickle165]
