Anxiety jitters

[Joel1980]

Does anyone else feel jittery when anxiety comes on?

[Beevee]

Yes. Common symptom of anxiety and just adrenaline pumping through your body because you are anxious. Just let yourself shake and carry on with your day. It is uncomfortable but entirely harmless. You just fear it which fuels the anxiety and keeps you in the cycle. Lose the fear and it will go by allowing all the feelings to be there and not constantly worrying about them. Don't try and push them away either. Don't try and do anything about the symptoms. It is the doing nothing that brings recovery not the trying, if that makes sense.

Thanks I have only been feeling like that for a couple days. I've also read that anxiety could be from an underlying disease but not sure cause I've only had anxiety for about 2 months it seems to be getting worse. I had an ekg and blood work but showed no sighns of stress on my heart and my blood sugar was normal. Thought the jitters was from something else.

It is possible so if you are in any doubt, get it checked out. If you are worrying/stressing about it, it makes you anxious. If you have had a period of stress or even smaller stressors, it is likely to be your nerves becoming sensitised (over worked) and manifesting itself by feeling jittery or constantly feeling tense and stressed., amongst lots of other different symptoms. however if your doctor gives you the all clear, accept it as anxiety and move on.

Joel1980,

When you say jittery, what do you mean? I have what can only be called internal tremors throughout my entire body. I feel like I am shaking bad, but no one can see it from the outside, it is all internal. Even if I rest my elbow on something, with my chin in my hand, I feel it big time. I also get very lightheaded throughout the day.

Do you get this?

It started only 2 months ago for me so I'm relatively new to all of it but yes at first I was light headed and dizzy but that went away. So yeah I have experienced that too. I feel shaky and actually my hands do shake. That's how I know when my panic attacks start.I feel as I have a lot of energy that I can't release. It drives me almost crazy. Hope that answers your question. Good luck.
