The symptoms of anxiety are very much as you explain , i no it can be hard to believe & it has taken me years to accept it can make you feel this bad

The muscles get so tense they react in this way

You have been to see your GP & they have given you the all clear , health wise , have they offered you any help with GAD , if they havnt hun go back again & tell them how bad you are feeling & ask for some help , you may think about meds or counselling , but i would go & have another chat with them

If you read the blogs , which will take a while I no , there are so many suffering with anxiety , having these symptoms so be reassured

Welcome to the site & as more see your blog , you will get some great advice

Let us no how you go on

Love

Hi lindsay27

I have simlar feelings pain n tightness across my chest down my arms and up my neck ! It has taken me a while to believe that this is all due to anxiety n not some health problems.I have endless battles with myself everyday trying to keep it under control ( which some days Ifeel like I fail miserably ) . But this website has rly helped . There is always someone with a answer who wants to help and encourage you . Which is exactly what you need when your in a anxious or paniced state

Keep your chin up
