The journey through anxiety can be isolating, but finding someone who has gone through a similar experience and anxiety symptoms can be a crucial step towards full anxiety recovery. In this video, I share my own five-year battle with debilitating health anxiety, starting with a terrifying panic attack that convinced me I was having a heart attack. Despite reassurances from doctors, the symptoms persisted, leading to a relentless cycle of fear and physical distress.
As time went on, the symptoms worsened, affecting every aspect of my life. I became hypersensitive to triggers, unable to enjoy simple activities without fear of impending doom. My world shrank as anxiety tightened its grip, leaving me constantly on edge and consumed by worry.
Despite countless tests and treatments, nothing seemed to alleviate the anxiety symptoms or ease the fear. Eventually, I reached a breaking point, realizing that I had to accept that anxiety might be the culprit after all. It was a surrender, but also a turning point-a decision to focus on living rather than endlessly searching for a cure.
The biggest thing I am struggling with right now is dizziness and lightheadedness. It’s hard for me to not focus or worry about it cause it controls my daily life. I also have tinnitus and popping in my ears so I think that could be a part of the dizziness. I just wanna feel normal again man.
Hi man,
I’ve actually been going through the same. Dizziness has been the worst symptom of them all since it debilitates me to a point where I’ve missed work and even being at home is difficult, thankfully I’ve been getting better. I went to the doctor to get checked, I researched why anxiety causes dizziness, no caffeine, better sleep schedule, breathing exercises, chamomile tea and exercise has been helpful, and THERAPY has been the most helpful. I still get dizzy and fear it, but I noticed I attached certain head movements, positions to getting dizzy, it didn’t happen before so I’m challenging it now.
Wishing you the best and fast recovery! Hopefully reading this makes you feel better. 🙏🏻
It may be Maniers .. if I spelled that right. Google will know what your looking for
Went through it for 2 years straight. 24*7 .. all the time.. finally recovered. By recovered I mean it changed to other symptoms.. blurry vision became my thing after that
Dry mouth me. 24-7
@@EllenCrates saw an ent and did a test to rule out anything ear related. Tests came back with no results off anything ear related. Ent suspects I may have vestibular migraine, but I think I might have pppd. Going to see neurology at some point. Thanks for the reply.
The muscle tension , the tension headache, the bloating are hell on earth . In America we do not have enough support. It’s either pills or therapy or a mental ward. In other countries there are clinics where you can get help. All the violence the suicides , I just feel there is not enough support. The system is broken . It’s sooo difficult almost impossible to find a great therapist. It’s sad frankly. The problem is that here the healthcare system is a huge Business $$$$.
I am not familar how it is over there but just the health system alone sounds like a horror
@@ImprovementPath yes the healthcare system here is a Mega Business $$ that is what it is , but it is still “better” than many countries in other terms. It’s relative .
were are you located its so much help out here
I’m bloated all day not matter what I eat
@@davida7559 me too it’s the brain gut connection . It’s a nasty loop 🔁.
I could not have described anxiety and panic disorder better than this man just described in this video. I don't care how many times you feel it I don't care how many times you go through it you always seem to think that you're going to die. Panic and anxiety are vicious.
Exactly.... im in fear now. I cannot function, nor go outside. I also have depression and insomnia. I'm not doing well. Hope you are 🙏
@@klanderkal You truly have my sympathies. I know exactly what you're going through and it sucks. But we have to keep fighting. We cannot give in or give up.
Ive been dealing with anxiety for about 6 months or so. It was entirely new to me. I am 23. It all started with heart stuff, what put me in the ER. They ran a blood test and ekg. Told me i was the healthiest person in the hospital. But i didnt feel like it. I have gotten other tests done and nothing seems to be wrong. I feel like i am shaky often and random body parts shake or tremble feeling. Ive been dealing with this on and off tightness like feelings in the upper left side of my stomach. Which is unexplainable. I have had a full ultrasound of my abdomen done. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I also get a weird feeling in the top of my neck and back of head. Like a pressure or a looming feeling almost. Its just so hard to explain the feeling. The hardest part for me is to believe this is all from anxiety. Sometimes i get these things even when i dont necessarily feel anxious. Its just so complex for me. Also when i lay down or put my head back, feel a heart best like sensation or jumpiness in my head or neck. I have been better then i was months ago. I just want to be normal again. If you have taken the time to read this, bless your soul and thank you.
Same feelings
Same here
I relate to this so much. Like I feel like my heart randomly stops or like a sensation that feels like that and it is just a sudden rush of terror and my whole skull feels like it tingles and I get dizzy. Keep thinking I am sick and I am obsessing about my health.
I feel like I'm not getting enough air
I feel that, how are you?
Everytime i wake up in the middle of the night i always feel weak and conscious about being in another panic attack
For me it's more of a mental thing. I'm used to the physical symptoms as odd as it sounds. What scared me and holds me down is the mental aspect. Feeling tired even if I had 8hrs of sleep, questioning reality and being scared to death that I'm actually going crazy.
I felt just like this today, wasted yet done nothing, can’t think even, my brains had enough! Not anxious just wasted
Feeling tired after hours of sleep is the one that always gets to me. It's like even the good becomes tainted. Everything somehow becomes much, much worse because it feels like it's my fault for not getting better sleep even though I did sleep
It’s been awhile since u posted so don’t know if you’ll see this or how u feel now but ur not alone. I’ve gotten the exact same thoughts. Literally was contemplating if I was going crazy questioned myself often. One of the things that comes with the journey is “burnout.” You feel this way because of depersonalization derealization you’re still sensitized even if you don’t get panic attacks and feel fine, your stressors are still saying something is wrong without you thinking about it. Just wanted to share, hope you continue to find the light out this dark tunnel.
This helps so so much!! I went through this exact same thing went to ER 5 times. God is the only one getting me through this!! Praise Jesus Christ!!! I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that anyone in chat gets healed!!!! 🙏
Amen ✝️☦️
I relate so much. Years ago I thought anxiety might just create tension, a faster heartbeat, digestive upset, typical symptoms that go away in a few hours once it settled. The truth is over the years I experienced so many weird symptoms that lasted weeks and months that can be similar to autoimmune diseases. I had to quit a job once because I couldn't take the intensity of symptoms. If anxiety isnt managed well, the symptoms come back or persist. The mind body connection is so strong
Yessss, the mind body connection is very very strong and that is why I often believe it can be easier to start by "fixing" the body making it stronger and healthier first and that will reflect on the mind.
Great reply, great channel. Thanks for helping so many with anxiety disorders better understand and manage it
@@van_creative do you have multiple joint pain as well? Like cracking joints? Or foamy urine? Or paranthesia in the extremities?. Or itchy skin? Or thrist or dry throat? And much more? I'm getting really weird and intense symptoms as well. Feels like my body is shutting down slowly ? ? my kidney were fine by the lab test. Little bit increased blood glucose level as well maybe because of stress or bad lifestyle. I'm only in my mid 20's
@@arumugam-ok2lbI've had all those symptoms you listed including low back pain that had identifiable cause, some worse and hanging on longer than others. Best wishes to you.
@@van_creative Thank you so much and best wishes to you as well
Was the most difficult time in my life when i struggled with panic attacks and anxiety ....I had all the extreme physical symptoms one could imagine. Thought I was dying every day. It's amazing how, for some unknown reason, the brain causes all those physical symptoms, absolutely amazing....i won't wish this "disease" on my worst energy...Your channel was instrumental in my healing journey..Thanks
Man, your videos have gotten me back to normal. Actually way beyond normal, as I’m much happier than I was before I was stricken with anxiety attacks. You are so spot on with everything you talk about. You just stop fearing anxiety and allow it to happen and just do what you want to do with the anxiety and then it starts to go away. It literally happens just like that
Thank you for this comment and sharing. So happy to hear that you are doing better and that the videos actually could help
Funny that you dropped a video now.
I had a breaking point yesterday, and I haven't felt this wave of anxiety in almost a year. Not that my life has been good in that period, no, my father passed away. But I managed to keep my fears just there without getting them any thought.
But yesterday? Just like you said. I was at work, I started to feel numb, dizzy, and there you go... The next hours I had horrible stomach pain and was hard to get out of that loop.
I had to, again, research and look for reassurance.
I had a physical checkup from my mother (an or nurse), but I was still looking for a solution for a non existent problem.
Today I feel depressed and scared that I'll go back to that loop of fear again.
Your words, like always, are like a glass into my mind.
It is exactly how you describe it.
It is hard. Hard hard hard hard hard hard. 😢
Thank you for letting me know, that I am not alone.
I cant believe I found someone who is going through nearly the exact symptoms I am going through. Thank you so much for sharing, and cheers to all of us recovering and improving.
more than welcome!
Thank you for sharing! I am currently struggling with anxiety and health anxiety and for the past three months I’ve been having these intense headaches, chest pain and burning sensation! I don’t want to be alone, I even stopped to lock the front door in case I call for an ambulance so they can get to me quicker! I’m am scheduled to do the MR! Because right now my brain is telling me that I have a brain tumour! And I’m also having panic attacks almost everyday! I struggle to go to work or even take a bus because I’m afraid that I’m gonna panic! It completely took over my life. But I’m working on it and seeking help! Knowing that I’m not the only one helps me a little bit! so thank you
What’s making you feel like it’s a brain tumor?
@@yosoyrichardh6517 for the past three months or so I have extremely bad headaches. I also feel numbness on my face (especially my left side) I have difficulty thinking, feel dizzy and have some vision changes, and of course I was dumb enough to google symptoms and convinced myself that I have brain tumor (even tho my blood work was good and there’s no sight of any illness).
I know that it’s probably just my anxiety but want to check it anyway.
People with anxiety try to diagnosis them self’s my son does that he has gone to the Er multiple times and there is nothing wrong wirh
My friend had similar symptoms, and high blood pressure, ER doctor told her to see her OBGYN for hormones. Sure enough she has a hormonal imbalance and low in vitamin D and thyroid levels low causing all kinds of issues
the itchyness all over my body is the most terrifying.
I have been dealing with this for two months and it keeps me indoors. Each time i go out I'll be having a fear it might happen again.
Dizziness, walking imbalance, constant feelings like I want to faint but after the panic attacks everything comes back to normal.
It's frustrating, i wont wish this on my worst enemy because the experience isn't fun
I very much relate to that. I used to go out for long walks but ever since I got my first ever panic attack back in 2020, everything went downhill since then. I have been experiencing symptoms I never knew existed and it's been hell on earth. It's exhausting going through all those symptoms because your brain plays a lot of tricks on you and then you think to yourself, is it really over or is your brain just tricking you right now? It's hard to separate fantasy from reality.
Years ago my anxiety was exactly like that but after almost 8 years it's back with different symptoms.
@@SugarsugarFruity-hz6lz yessssss me toooooo 😢
At least the doctors in the ER that you visited told you it was anxiety. The times I've been to the ER I was told by the medical staff that they didn't know what was happening to me, but they knew that I wasn't dying "right now." Nobody ever brought up the word anxiety. Every single time, I left with more questions than answers. SMH.
OMG that is indeed so much worse! disastrous actually. How long time ago was this?
@@ImprovementPath The last time was about 18 months ago. It's been a long and difficult journey, but thanks to the work of people like you, I've been able to start healing and become stronger.
Can totally relate to you on this. Unfortunately , anxiety is down played so much in the medical community.
So I literally went to the hospital today. So the day before I randomly started to do a 24/7 no food, but ate a-lot of salty nuts, one banana, and a bowl of watermelon. That night I did not sleep at all. Woke up and had alot alot of energy. I did eat a homemade breakfast burrito one hand full of salty nuts , I was drinking juice shots and coconut water . The last thing I ate was some seaweed chips thats was super salty at the Time I did not think of the salt I was consuming, but the sodium in the chips were 22 percent. , so I take care of my elderly mother who three weeks ago had a heart attack. Her home nurse came and I was sitting on the floor talking to the nurse about the 24/7 fast. The nurse was like Oh I did that and I went into ketoacidosis and I started to think if thats what I was going through. As soon as she left. I started to feel tinkling in fingers and a tightening in my chest. I decided to check my blood pressure and it was extremely high out of no where it was 183/120 I saw that number and I freak the f out . At the moment I was going into full panic attack mode. I literally jumped into the shower and turned on hot water…BAD BAD IDEA LOL. Didn’t think to turn on cold water , but I got out the bathroom and I felt normal for 5 minutes, but so many bad feelings where going through my head I literally thought I was dying. I think I stressed my self out so bad the last number of blood pressure I check jumped to 190/130. I thought this was it for me , so I told my brother take me to the hospital now.! The hospital was down the street. Got to the hospital, and now I have the shakes and mini tingling in my hand . Told the nurse at the front desk I thought I was having a heart attack or stroke lol…so they saw me right away because of how high my blood pressure was. They took my blood pressure it went down a little it was 170/121 still high and I was still extremely nervous and worried, as I was talking to the nurse I did start to slowly calm down , they did blood test and tested my pee. They did offered me a drug that would calm my anxiety down , but I didn’t want to take it because I thought that would make me die lol.! So finally the doctor came and told me All my blood work was normal, EKG was fine , all my kidneys are great and there is nothing wrong with me , Just might have high blood pressure and too go follow up with your primary doctor 😩. The way I was feeling I still in my mind even though the doctor might be lying lol and Im still in danger, but also my last blood pressure was still high it was 160/123 ,I felt the same way as this man like how you going to tell me Im ok when Im still feeling off and still have high blood pressure 😒😒, but who am I Im not a dr .. Dr said its high but its not a alarming high amount… I was still like wtf yall really going to let me go home. I was honestly scared I was going to die at home…Im now home hours later and my blood pressure did go down and most the symptoms to a panic attack went away. I just can’t sleep, but over all I really can’t believe this is all in my head. This is actually the second time I got rushed to the hospital because I thought I was dying. The first time was way worst but happy so long ago I thought I was over this. Over all I prayed alot tonight and now 2:16 am I actually feel normal now .
@@doughty_vee7824 You'd be surprised how many of these symptoms start to fade after you stop feeding the catastrophic thoughts. Read "At Last A Life" by Paul David or "Hope and Help for Your Nerves" by Claire Weekes. They explain A LOT.
for me, my heart is the focus. when its pounding and when its slow, not matter at all. i always think that i have just a specific amount of heart beats and when its faster, it will get tired and stop early....
That was my same experience and same worry for the first half of my anxiety journey
@@ImprovementPath and then just accepted it or think otherwise about it?
I’m always tired and sleepy. And bloated all the time
Try eliminating dairy from your diet. Dairy causes inflammation and bloated feeling. And if you want to take it even further, maybe eliminate wheat too
Dont rule out gut bacteria either
my whole body started shaking on my first one
Mine is where I convinced myself that I can’t feel and have numbness and desensitized. Also a time where I also kept checking my eyes because I couldn’t see or thought I had something wrong. Anxiety can bring those imaginary thoughts to life and it’s horrible. Those with anxiety please get checked out to rule anything out. Then start tackling the root cause and don’t feed anxiety any more. I’m at 0% recovery bc I can’t accept the fact I will ever feel normal. But cool facts it’s all reversible!!. It will not go away magically you have to control it and reduce it. We got this
Is there anyone who drifted in the alternative health space? And think they had Lyme, mold, parasites? Anyone?
Here here! Hence why I had to go seek reassurance from virologists and neurologists. Lyme disease was a HUGE fear of mine
🙋🏽♀️
all the time
It's so easy to go down that slippery path.
Yep!
I watch this video when i start feeling bad anxiety. I don't know what it is but hearing him talk about this calms me down. Really good at grounding me when my anxiety and panic goes crazy.
I'm dealing with a panic attack right now! Thanks for the video and best wishes, and good health for everyone who suffers from anxiety.
You are more than welcome!
I've been going through anxiety for years 😢😢😢I am on meds and it helps me I'm glad to be 65 July 7 now my daughter is going through this I'm so sorry for her 😢😢😢😢😢 prayers sent 🙏🙏🙏🙏 for anyone going through this anxiety 😢😢😢😢😢😢
I’ve never been able to hold someone’s hand while this is happening. Some of that is my fault. Some is theirs
Go for 1 month trip with friends,far away from your house,it can help a lot.
Anxiety is terrible. My chest hurts all the time and always nervous and scared thank you for this video. I know exactly how you feel.
My anxiety is worrying about blood sugar levels because I experience dizziness and carry food/snacks with me in case I faint I’m sure I’d be fine without but that’s sort of a compulsion of mine
I am experiencing low blood sugar like symptoms bt i dont have diebetis, 3 times a day i got dizzy, hungry, tightness in chest, untill i eat something this get wrose 🙂
I dont know what to do
Plzzzzz help
Thank you my friend,I thank God this man channel was first when health anxiety hit,we both grow a bit larger me braver and he pushed the game ti help more ppl.Thank you for all your work I can't express how you saved me and you were needed in my life to save my life
thank you for this comment
Two years back i ate 2 box icecream and ate spicy food at night all was normal until my sleep time. In the middle of the night i feels a symtom of dizziness, lightheadness, fast heart beat shivering and totally abnormal for me. But i passed that night when i wake up in the morning i feel like vomiting sensation, bloating, digestive issue, i can't eat so i went to doctor they told it was just food poison i took tablet after one week i feels same as before.... After that incident i controlled myself for one month to see the symptoms but worstly it increases day by day i felt like dying...
. I have that fear because i lost my both parents two years back so i too thought the same i have only one brother so i really afraided to tell my symptoms but after one month i told my brother about my symptoms and went to cardiologist and he told it just a stress don't stress too much and gave tablet... One week iam fine again symptoms started again I went to doctor again took tablets constantly i went for six months and after that i had stomach issues so i went to another doctor they told me all is fine
My anxiety journey started in 2021 November... After all the assurance i took tablet upto 2022 may then i convinced myself and this man video made me to understand and accept the symptoms.... From that to till now i experience lots of anxiety symptoms like
Body pain
Heart palpitations
Dizziness
Lightheaded
Stomach pain
Abdomen pain
Chest pain
Heart pain
Muscle pain
Shivering
Ear problem
Breathing trouble
Insomnia
Burning pains... Etc
And also I took ecgs, echo, abdomen scan... All are fine...
Till this day I can't sleep at afternoon because when I sleep in aftn I feel terrible heart beat and sometimes at night I can't even sleep because of palpitations...
I think i will overcome this anxiety.... By god, by myself, and especially this man(thank you yaar for making your journey to overcome my fear and i able to move forward)
So anyone from anxiety don't feel we will overcome this situation
Thank you😊
I have some similar experience, I've been recovering gently from anxiety, until recently I down a full bottle of Nuts(Cashew nuts), then about 2 days later I began to feel weird symptoms when I try to sleep.
It feels like some part of my brain is asleep some part awake it was disrupting, I'll get bad palpitations, internal tremors, sensation as though I had adrenaline surge, burning or tingling feets.
Most of these happens when I lay on bed and try to sleep, the insomnia has been unbearable
I've never taken any meds or supplements before, I'm now thinking if I should take B12 n magnesium aswell as vitD
@@egar6489how are you now?
Pls how are you now?
@@ogagatheophilus3757 I am doing very good now. It took about 2 weeks for my body to restabilize.
Still get a few symptoms but there are very subtle.
What tablet did you take and are you still on it?
Omg!!! Thank you so much for your videos. Everything you have gone through is so relatable to my situation. I have struggled with anxiety before but this time around I am experiencing symptoms before. Right now they want to do a nerve test that’s making me so nervous.
I just saw your comment and your member status. Sorry the last few months were rough on me. If you want to join the discord here is the link: discord.gg/vFmTEgfx

I have everything you said. My blood pressure is high even on medication and I noticed the last 3 days my jaw is so tight from being so tense that it’s giving me headaches....or start of a stroke 😣 I even moved country to avoid people because it got so bad but now I worry about dying abroad. I can’t win 🥴
Thank you! You can win my friend. Recovery is possible and you will get there
😢😢😢😢 right now my daughter is going through anxiety and panic attacks 😢😢😢😢
Thank you very much for this, the symptoms I feel are very similar, and this gave me hope that I can get better. I tried brute forcing through it, and trying to reason through my symptoms which made it worse. I finally hit rock bottom when I had a very bad panic attack with my wife and kids in the car. It was the first time they had seen me in that state, it was the most shameful experience of my life. I just started therapy, and have been given temporary work accommodations until I get well enough to return. It's been peaks and valleys but researching success stories instead of symptoms has helped immensely. Hope you all find some relief from your stress and anxiety. God Bless.
this is the way to go! If you do research always focus on the positive side and find that motivation to regain control of your life! YOu will get there!
Wow, such a relatable video... Not exactly the symptoms, but everything else pretty much. I feel almost constant difficult of breathi g, tightness around my stomach/diaphgram, chest and throat. I feel like choking or suffocating to death sometimes, I feel all these horrible sensations, yet I've learned to stay calm and not panic most of the time. But they still happen, very frustating, my mind can't accept its just anxiety, I mean sometimes I can, but sometimes those symptoms are too intense...
all the symptoms and feelings you described (except the stomach ones) I dealt with a lot. Especially the breathing issues and feeling like suffocating was something I dealt with sooo long. It was like I forgot how to breath and had to manually make sure that I was doing it correctly
Like,, how have you dealt with all this, what caused it?
Watching your videos for reassurance that I’ll be okay has been more helpful than any other form of therapy. Hope your doing well 😊
Thank You!! Thank You!!! This genuinely made me feel so much better. This genuinely made me feel comfortable with the fact that what I am going through is truly anxiety. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your most intimate details with your bouts of anxiety... I too have been struggling for the last 2 months... All of the sensations that I have had in my body you have described to a tee. It is completely uncomprehending that anxiety can do this to a person's body... I feel for you. And anyone else is struggling with this. What is the worst feeling ever. The recovery process is slow. However I hope to reach the other side in the near future..
happy to share :)
That's exactly what happened to me too! I couldn't comprehend that I was sent home to rest after I collapsed in the middle of a restaurant!
Your videos help so much, please stay around.
Can I suggest something small, the background music is a bit to loud and distracting (in my opinion)
Thanks for the tip and for the positive comment :) - I agree completely. I also noticed it after uploading and watching via headphones. I will make sure to tone it down for the next videos.
The goat is back
haha thanksss
Another great video sir. Great to see you back in the flow
Much appreciated
Oh my gosh! Are you me?!?! I am having these exact symptoms for the past year! It all began with my vision and hearing feeling off. Bright lights would trigger my vision and lightheadedness!!! Then I started getting the lightheaded attacks but would never pass out. I couldn’t focus my vision correctly and it became a little blurry. Same with my hesring: sound will come in at different frequencies like I was dissociating if that makes sense. Like i don’t feel present with my surroundings. These happen especially in busy environments!! I got MRI,CT seen specialists and everything was normal! I thought it was something doctors were missing and I had a rare disease. I still get these attacks a lot. Just recently developed burning sensations on the skin. But now that I think it’s anxiety that attacks aren’t as severe. Oh yea, also brain fog and ice pick headaches!! Those are the worst!! My neurologist said it’s psychosomatic symptoms of anxiety even though I’m not mentally anxious when these symptoms come on.
I am glad I am not alone in this!!
What was your solution?
Get a therapist to help you get on the right medication 😢😢im on medication and it helps me 😢😢I have them for years and now my daughter is going through this im sorry for anyone going through this 🙏🙏🙏😢

Brother you just keep on putting out amazing content. You’ve played a HUGE part in my recovery and I could never thank you enough!
Thanks for all the support over the years man!
Of course man! You’ve taken a weakness and turned into an amazing strength to help other people. I started posting similar stuff on my Instagram and deciding if I want to do as well, trying to get it off the ground.

I’ve excruciating muscle stiffness on my shoulder and neck and I feel my shoulder is so heavy like someone put a big stone on my shoulder and always fear of dying 🥺 feeling so helpless and demotivated to do any work , lots of intrusive thoughts 😭😭
The sad story man. I experience intrusive taught, can' t sleep long time.
I’m so glad to find your channel. You are the BEST TH-camr who describes anxiety symptoms accurately and explains ways to recover. Thank you very much.
man, you saved my life! all you had,I had too! i did all the tests for 10 years and no one understood what's happening to me till I saw your video 1 week ago and I was like, oh my god! that's it! i didn't even hear that anxiety is a disease! i canceled all my doctor appointments and you don't know how I'm feeling now! It's life-changing and I'm getting better very quickly. I've had muscle tension on my face and I couldn't talk very well, now all the tension is gone! just accept anxiety and feel like ok, I'm feeling good. its nothing. everything will be fine. soon.
You will be fine! You can recover. Often just understanding what anxiety is and knowing that others are going through the same thing is like a wakeup call for the brain
I can relate so much to your story here. Even my dad coming w me to the hosp. My mom never took it seriously w me but my dad had some personal experiece w this . He sat w me. I remember sitting on the hosp bed wanting to run (where I don't know) and he kept saying calm down you're ok, as I felt another wave building in my stomach. Ugh.....
This is exactly what I'm going through right now
It started during pregnancy and after delivery I'm still feeling it and had even raise my BP I'm currently monitoring my BP but I don't know if I should stop because I get more scared as it keeps going up
Thanks for the video cos I feel relieved after watching I hope this anxiety goes away and never come back
Unless your doctor asked u to check continue doing it. If u r checking for reassurance, you should stop I threw away my smart watch and monitoring device. Got me out of the rabbit hole of checking

Ive had anxiety my whole life.. had to go to ER recently and like you said, at the end of the day. you want to just say "if im going to have a heart attack or stroke, hurry up already !!" and it never comes ... that's it. You really have to work to reframe your mind
100%

I think the same way, if I’m going to go then just hurry lol cuz I’m tired of this🤦🏽♀️
It's so bad, like there are days where I'm just like, "Please just make the misery and pain stop," but nothing helps.
The adrenaline surges are the worst, so scary.

The feeling is of panic, like my pulse is racing even though it isn't, I can feel sick and my mouth goes dry. It's like I can feel adrenaline flowing through every part of my body. It doesn't last long but it happens multiple times a day, they get less if my anxiety is not so bad but I can get them even when I don't feel anxious. I still get scared even though I've had probably hundreds of them. I thought it was just me but now I know lots of people get this, anxiety is horrible.
Had burning on tops of hands and arms. Muscle pain on legs. More you think about it the worse it gets and doesn’t go away. Very concerning. Glad I watched this video. Really hit home.
yes this me, feels like a big ball of symptoms
Your video make me feel so much better I've been in hospitals every week with the same problem I'll look at the doctors every time like you guys are not going to tell me nothing's wrong when I feel like something's wrong I completely understand
every thing you said is so relatable, your work really helps me
we all will get through this and become a better version of ourselves❤
Yes we will!
Every symptom of a disease that you can think of i 90% probably had it and stressed over it and checked it with the doctor in order to find out it's just anxiety. Just name it! Everything you stress about and scare about anxiety will make it seem real. My life changed since June 2023 when i had my first panic attack. It's a daily struggle but life is so much worth living.
My biggest advice is don't google your symptoms. DON'T! The less you know about it the less your brain will have fuel for the anxiety.
100% agree! Anxiety can create pretty much any symptom imaginable!
This is channel is helpful just hearing about your experiences, I’m sure everyone with anxiety can relate. What’s crazy to me is how it felt like 1 day I was fine & the next had a full blown panic attack for no real reason just an ordinary day it happened while I was watching tv idk how this came about but I’ve been struggling lately when trying to sleep😢
Every thing you mention, that’s me right now , I went through and I’m going through the same thing you mentioning seen so many specialist. I did all bloodwork. I did MRI CT scan. I’ve been in ER at the end. They can’t find anything. They told me already to Neurologist is anxiety as you say, you can’t accept that you have anxiety.
Just today, I was at Neurologist. She told me neurologically there’s nothing wrong with you. Your muscles are good. All the test is fine. She said I don’t know the answer. I Google all the symptoms and as you mentioned you all of us look the negative part and I panic and I go find a specialist they check they do bloodwork they do scan and at the end there’s nothing wrong with me , just simple anxiety.
Thank you for your video .
💯 me right here started at 30 and now I’m 40 but still have it. Been dizzy for 3 years but it went down and just started bad again. I don’t know if I’m ever gonna be good again. Suck cause I’m a 24/7 since for dad and it’s so hard and makes me sad for my son
My chest pain and palpitations will last for days sometimes, worse than last time and i fear this time it's it and i dont want to ignore it. Anyone have the chest pain for days at a time??😢🙏
Thanks brother, it's "sunday, 5th may 2024 in india" and i am as same as you. I hope no i will recover from it and let you know. And anyone having same please think about your family more than you , it effect more to your family, it's devastating and dangerous at the same time, but i know at the end of the day you will be all right and fight, push your body and make it strong. You are not alone, if it comes again then come to this video and watch it. You'll be relieved like me . ❤
I'm back as i promised. It's'sunday, 2nd jun in India", yeah it's been almost around 1 month. Now-a-days I'm feeling ok , the symptoms still appears here and there but I think I'm starting to accepting them and the guidence which I've got from this channel, it helps me to speed up my recovery. Like i said I'm not recovered yet but I'm having fun in my life , the fun i've never had before, I'm going back to my old no even better self of mine, thanks brother and anybody watching this just believe in yourself, stay strong and god will be always there for you, I'll be back after some time and give update on my journey. So, bye for now❤
That’s awesome brother! I’m glad you doing well! actually you are always well! to let that anxiety run away a step at a time! keep believing in yourself! soon you will recover. I’m dealing the same as you and I promise you will be there. Think of it as a track, you are still walking to your finish line but you will still find obstacles to overcome. but eventually you will reach there!
I love youu❤
:))) much love!
I had 2 crazy episodes of panic I legit thought I was gonna die my head felt like it flooded and went numb and my heart was raceing I legit thought it was the end I couldn’t move my hands nothing I was yelling at my iPhone telling Siri to call emergency
Daily dizziness, painful chest muscle cramps, and brain zaps were my scariest symptoms ..
Thank you for sharing your story and giving us hope that things will get better. Sending lots of appreciation your way ❤
Anyone else get muscle twitches? Can anxiety cause them?
Yes I get them too! Mainly in my face.
100% all the time. Also in the face, arm, leg
Yes on the sides of my head
You covered all my experiences
7 months in
I have 90 percent recovered
1 or two annoying symptoms remain
Watch all the videos on you tube about anxiety. They will teach you how recover.
Short story is is it's acceptance. You to nothing and go about your life. Over the months hypersensitivity slowly dials down. You don't just wake up feeling normal one day
You will have setbacks where you think your getting better and get hit with an attack. Part of the process
I had all that you mention! It’s a nice club to be in!😅😂🤣 at 6:09 “this time it’s the BIG ONE!”
forget about the other 500 times - this one is it... anxiety thoughts and feelings are crazy!
@@ImprovementPath 😂😅😅😅😅
Your videos help so many of us. Me including. I’ve been dealing with health anxiety and it’s awful the constant chest tension is all I think about
Thank you, Yasemin!
How are you now?
I totally go through that😮 it sucks
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Spot on for an anxiety sufferer.
Chronic pain.
Anyone feels like there is the whole body sensation of pulsating nerves rhythmically resonating with beats of ur heart.. And the whole body internal shaking vibrations are the main characters??
Im 44 yrs old, I had my 1st panic attack in 2001 & like he says I didn't even know what anxiety was, I thought I was dying. Went to the hospital they gave me a little pill that dissolved under my tongue & I slowly fell asleep on my wife's shoulder then was sent home. That cycle continued for a year or so, it crippled me, then I was sent to a psychiatrist who told me I was depressed & so began the guinea pig years of different antidepressants that didn't do a damn thing to help. To make a long story short. I'm still suffering with anxiety to this day, I don't get attacks anymore, it's just constant severe anxiety & I have no life to speak of, no friends not 1, no job no income & no hope.
for me, I had a traumatic event happen to my friend’s mom. I wasn’t even there but, my friend told me symptoms she had and i’ve had them for about 3 years now. it’s all to do with my head and neck and neck tension. and I cannot handle it. i’ve had all of the other random weird symptoms like derealization, panicky, anxious from when I wake up to when I sleep. i’ve gone to the er a million times and i’ve had a million tests and they say i’m okay but everytime I tell myself i have anxiety, nothing changes. I still feel all of these chronic symptoms everyday and it’s like i’m having 24/7 panic. I don’t know what to do
How are you now?

Big thank you from morocco afriqua my brother. Keep up the good work....
appreciate it :)
Literally have all the same symptoms as you working towards my recovery!
Searching for a reply since weeks. Please tell me is it anxiety symptom? I feel so so tired physically like without literally doing anything. Feels like my heart is in my throat. So tired all the time even after waking up. Is it anxiety? How long will it take to go this symptom. Will it ever go? I have recovered from all other symptoms btw.
Did you check your blood count at the Doctor's. Before my blood transfusion that's how I felt. Though I still suffer from anxiety.
This is a very common anxiety symptom, I experience it too and am certain it’s anxiety
I hate body sensation
Amazing description. Thanks for your time
Any of you guys get those weird vibrations in your legs?
Yes, along side with panic attacks , ended up in ambulance again.
I mostly dealt with jelly legs or the feeling that I couldnt control my legs the way I wanted and it made walking difficult
Yes I used to think my phone was vibrating in my pocket , but my phone was never on me, it was wierd,, vibrating along my legs
Thank you for making this video 🙏🏼 happy you’re making new content.
My pleasure!
I'm severe anxiety, I feel alone
That's how I used to feel you'll be fine.
I'm also alone depression hurts mentally and mentally I feel anxious today 😢😢😢😢😢😢 prayers sent 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You just need reassurance like me. Someone telling you that you will be fine
During the early days of Covid I had to go to the emergency room because I couldn’t breathe and thought I was having a cardiac attack. They nurses took my vital signs and said it’s just stress go home and try to relax. I hate it. Really hate it.
That is the sad thing... If some of these experts would have taken just a tiny bit more time during the first panic attack a lot of suffering could have been avoided. OR even better - we should have learned about mental health issues and what it can do early on in life so that it doesnt catch us completely off guard
These videos are so helpful. Thank you ❤️
That has been me I had to change my antidepressant I'd been on and also take pregablin I was so ill in my body the aching all over , felt ill in the head , sick to the stomach , could do anything felt totally detached it felt worse than a physical illness xx
I suffering the same.... except, I'm afraid of medications... so I'm not taking. Are you better now..?
Same here... I feel Same. I won't take the medication though... im afraid of them also. I cannot sleep either. Are you better now?
How to get rid of dizziness im tired of it and blurred vision
Big thank you from Tanzania Africa.
Thank you for this. I've been having a really really hard time accepting that my constant headaches and burning in my head are anxiety. I've convinced myself it's med toxicity. I'm still not sure if these are anxiety symptoms
The important thing to understand is that when you are dealing with anxiety it will never feel like "you know". That is just how anxiety works, it thinks you are in danger and wants to keep you safe. Hence why I said one must eventually take a leap of faith :)
Anyone having really tough knee problems? So that even minimal strain leads to severe pain and the need to lie down?
Vertigo from Ear fullness
cotton balls stuck in my ear feeling... here here :)
@@ImprovementPath means ear pressure
I have vertigo anxiety depression hurts mentally I am seriously trying to get better 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ers for your healing 🙏😔😭😢
Worst I did was go to other people that had brain tumors and then they went to doctors and they said everything was fine until they demanded an mri
Would you another video diving deep on high blood pressure theme? Beacuse im 22 years old and always when i take me numbers are Very high, but i feel always afraid and tense, but at the doc was 167x87 and he already want to put me on meds and im going nuts. And i cant belive because im not that unhealthy to be on this situation now and i dont know who belive, i dont know If it wasnt anxiety.
Thanks for your insights I'm a senior who had all the symptoms described in your video for the past 3 years encouraged to know I'm not alone grateful.
Explained symptoms very clearly
Please explained how to get rid of it too in this manner
What are your symptoms?
The worse thing is googling your symptoms. Cause i think it magnifies your worries and you keep thinking its something horrible. My mom is always telling me your just making yourself worse. My mom has anxiety and she told me that she wouldnt even leave the house cause she thought simething bad will happen. Good thing im not that bad. I like to do things but sometimes the anxiety symptoms creep up on me. I get the chest pains which are scary enough and other symptoms with it. The chest pains are scary cause you think oh my god its heart related. Im gonna have a heart attack. My aunt who had a heart attack 2 years ago always tells me you will know if its a heart attack. She tells me you will be fine. I believe anxiety too leads to being a hypocondriac sorry if i spelled that wrong. Another thing is ppl who dont understand being negative. My dad tells me quit being a baby. One thing i tell ppl is if you have the chance to take meds do it. My mom says you cant just rely on meds but it helps. I take paroxatine. In short we are not alone
Thank you for this video.
My pleasure!
Thank You!
always welcome Mirkko
