Thank you for these videos. I thought I had ALS, MS, HIV, leukemia, brain cancer, neck cancer and early on set Parkinson’s like 2 years ago and now I’m going through my thyroid cancer and lymphoma phase lol. Symptoms I’ve had were night sweats, shaking, low grade fevers, brain fog, tremors, pains all over my body, chills, loss of appetite, twitches and muscle soreness. Anxiety is crazy
I am right there with you! I have thought I had all of those illnesses plus a couple of others. I am 61 and finally let my spouse talk me into getting on anti-anxiety meds very recently. I have only been on them for about a week so no real change yet but I am hoping.
I’m so sorry you are going through anxiety but a HUGE thank you to sharing your story and symptoms! I have literally been riding in the same boat with you and I thought I had ALS/MS/brain tumor or cancer..it’s so wild! I didn’t know anxiety could produce these symptoms, I always saw the generic symptoms of anxiety on Google like the basic 10 that are listed haha . THANK YOU! 🙏🏻
Thanks for this comment. M going through the same thing. So crazy. Just when i start to feel getting used to one anxiety symptom i get new almost everyday. I thought i had some life threatening disease. The worst thing is that it messes up with Menstrual cycle.
Just incase this helps anyone or they can relate: - Tingling in limbs - Painful knot in stomach and loss of appetite! - Derealisation - Aching behind the eyes along with headaches - Eye twitching - Trouble sleeping and waking up multiple times in the night. - Tightness in the chest. When i do manage to completely calm down (as i have today, although these are very rare occasions), all of these, ALL of them....just melt away. It may only be an hour or so before Im back to full blown state of dread, but this is PROOF that if you truly focus on this all being from anxiety, they will subside 😊
My doctor said that wherever our anxious brain decides to hold tension, that’s where we will feel some physical symptoms. I’ve been holding tension in the base of my skull/top of my neck for almost a year and it makes my ears feel full, my heart race, my sinuses have pressure etc. I had the same ECG situation where I was told I had long QT syndrome as well. I had horrible PVCs and felt like my heart was giving out. It’s good to know that even our rare symptoms are most likely our anxiety. It shows how powerful anxiety can be.
Thanks for your comment and I have to say I can’t believe you also had the long QT thing too! I’ve never met anyone else who has had this. I’m fascinated! 🤣 what was your outcome? My follow up ECGs were normal. Anxiety is WILD! I 100% believe that our brain holds tension in certain areas of our bodies too!
@@cherellethinks my future ECGs were ALL normal. I still get the PVCs whenever I go through a high anxiety period, but my long QT resolved on its own. Isn’t that insane? It’s such an odd symptom, but so comforting to learn someone else had it too!
You are saying my headaches are normal? It’s so painful I wanna cry, these headaches don’t leave my body.. Weakness in hands and in others body parts. CT shows nothing. Had this thing before 4 years , for months somehow I found way out, that’s only hope for me this time
I have absolutely no idea. I am so lost. All of these symtoms, and telling yourself that it's just anxiety is so hard. Like pain in the left side of the head and the back of the head which travels all the way to the back of the neck ,ears, sinus areas. And the fear of what it might be. Jerks while sleeping. Randomly feeling like theres an earthquake because everything would be trembling but no one else would feel it. Like it's insane.
I never comment on anything on TH-cam but I just want to say thank you for your videos. I currently am thinking I have ALS. I have severe health anxiety and it is hell it’s not a good time at the moment, but I have cried watching your videos it’s like myself talking. Just thank you xx
I’ve had so, so many random symptoms. Petechiae (pronounced peh-tee-kee-i 😉), mucus in poo, blood in poo, hallucinations, twitching, myoclonus, wheezing, low grade fevers, tingling, floaters, flashes, jaw tension, chest ache, ache in groin, ache in armpits, abnormal liver enzymes, red hands, etc. Of course some of these aren’t DIRECTLY caused by anxiety, but anxiety really pronounced them. Like, blood in poop isn’t from anxiety itself, but anxiety can give you diarrhea and constipation which may cause hemorrhoids. I have absolutely nothing wrong with me other than health anxiety.
Did ur gas and poo really smell different tho. Like mine consistently smells not right but the same smell every time. I get a tightness and bloating whenever I eat so it’s uncomfortable to sit. I can’t tell if bits in my pop are blood or just food. It’s scary
Cherelle, since May of this year I have been on quite the downward spiral. I’ve worried about everything. Leukemia, lymphoma, cancer, and now ALS.. but your stories give me hope. Currently, I have widespread fasciculations (mostly in calves), what I assume is brain fog, lack of hand coordination and balance issues, joint tenderness in the morning, breathing issues, and headaches around my temples. I’ve been there with you regarding blood spots popping up everywhere (cherry angiomas in my case), changes in bowel movements and color, and even upper abdominal pain. It’s hard to rationalize that all these different conditions could be hitting simultaneously, which creates some feeling of relief. However, anxiety is a hell of a trip, and I’m not quite off of the ride yet. I will say that staying active does help, and talking it through with friends as well. Google is the biggest enemy, and I’ve gone down the rabbit hole way too many times. That’s been my focus area, staying off of the internet and letting my body work through it. Thank you for these videos, and I’m interested to see what other people have to say!
Working through it. Admittedly, it’s really hard. Symptoms come in waves, and just when I think I’m fine, they hit again. But I’ve been to so many doctors and at this point everything has come back clean. Should anything change, I can let you know, but I have a strong suspicion that anxiety is the cause of all of this!
@@brandonsargent8747 I can completely relate to what you're going through. In fact I think I've experienced pretty much every symptom you've listed, from fasciculations, to upper abdominal pain, headaches, joint pain, change in bowel movements, numbness, tingling, weakness, the lot. Last winter was the worst for me, it was a battle to get through the day as that's when all my 'symptoms' were at their height. But having worked REALLY hard on taking better care of myself, whether that be through exercise, eating better, getting outside, or even just talking it out with friends and family, I'm feeling much better now. I no longer really experience any symptoms, and while I may have a brief flare up here and there, I always try to rationalise my thoughts rather than go into panic mode. And I avoid Google like the plague! It's only ever gonna show you the worst of the worst and I've lost count of how many hours I've wasted down various rabbit holes. The mind is extremely powerful sometimes. I really do think anxiety and health anxiety are the blight of the modern age, all this information at our fingertips is turning us into nervous wrecks. Sounds like you're working through things though and I'm sure you'll get there, take care of yourself dude.
I'm so glad to have heard you say auditory hallucinations, I get that mainly at night and it's quiet uncommon to see that under anxiety symptoms when you search on Google or TH-cam
I had these years ago after some trauma related issue...I was diagnosed with PTSD am now again having a really stressful time and they are back...they will eventually pass but very scary to say the least. You will be OK
For me, anxiety seems to trigger joint pains among other things! Today I was feeling fine all day until I noticed my blood sugar was a bit low. This set off a massive panic, thinking I’m gonna have any number of Horrible Things Happen and I started having headaches, dizziness, tremors, joint pains, etc etc which lasted me for ages after. I tested my blood sugar again after having some sugar and it was well within the normal range - it was the anxiety that had generated all these new feelings! Even after seeing the blood sugar back in a safe range, the panic and all the symptoms that came with it continued until I started doing some relaxation practices. I come back to these videos regularly and repeat your adage “Health anxiety is the disease”, because that’s the most important to remember when I’m catastrophising and spiralling.
This is me! I’m so glad I’m not alone! I started to get GI issues last month and the amount of stress it added on top of the stress I already had made it WORSE!! I started to have joint pain on my elbow and knees pains on my muscles through out my body 🤦🏻♀️😑 I am very low on Vitamin D but I need to get that fixed as well it never ends 😅
@@evelyncornejo8486I can relate I’m having Gut issues and joint and muscular pain. The joint pain freaks me out 🙈 my health anxiety has been through the roof. I’m now starting to take lots of supplements and try relaxing techniques as anxiety can cause a lot of upset in the gut
Does anyone ever feel a sharp pain in random parts of their body? Like a very brief feeling of someone pricking you with a needle or something. It occurs very rarely but when it does, it is terrifying. I also get occasional muscle spasms on my feet or hands. But like 2 weeks ago, I had this horrible night where my left palm felt like it was on fire, it wasn't too painful or anything but it was intense enough to prevent me from sleeping the entire night. But after I started taking B12, sleeping properly and working on my anxiety, I have been noticing that those feelings have more or less subsided. I still have sensation in my hands so its probably not nerve damage but this symptom of mine scared me to no end.
I get the sharp pains when my anxiety is at it's highest. It may take a few hours or days to settle... nerves are just misfiring all over the place. =/
I’ve had a stressful month and my bowels have changed and I also developed sharp body pains everywhere lol and never ends. I am vitamin D deficient. I should have taken care of it a few months ago, but didn’t hoping to see a doctor soon.😮
My anxiety triggers heart flutters when Im relaxed and I get head pressure and unsteadiness! Just comes on from nowhere. Muscle twitches are constant. Doctors can’t find anything that’s serious so my conclusion is chronic stress and now on medication but not long started that so hopefully it will ease the symptoms. Great watching these videos! Really interesting and helpful.
The symptom that’s debilitating me at this moment is I feel like my legs don’t work. I think I’m so hyper focused on how my legs work and how I’m walking that it makes me feel like I have MS or something. I’m freaked out to stand or walk. I can’t even work right now. I’m terrified.
I had my first anxiety attack at 11 years old and didnt know what it was until I was like 19. Here are all my symptoms Ive experienced throughout the diff stages of anxiety.: Feeling lighted head, Feel like youre on drugs, arms and legs start tingling, SUDDEN INTENSE FEAR LIKE THIS IS IT AND YOU ARE DYING, racing thoughts, racing heart beat, feeling like your vision is drifting into nothingness, tunnel vision, Very irritable, weird thoughts of crashing car into wall, bridge or whatever while youre driving., waking up in the middle of the night with extreme racing heart that wont calm down( had to call ambulance many times ) , feeling extreme guilt for no reason, scared youre going crazy or losing your mind, Visual Snow ( you see static like an old tv 24/7 ), bad OCD type symptoms where you can not stop thinking about your anxiety at all. It consumes your mind. I think I had the fake smells also, like random food smell that I havent had in years will pop into my brain and its almost like I smell it for a second.. real weird.. Heart beating hard and fast around 120bpm for 2 days straight non stop without my meds ( sertraline works for me ) . ER doctor said O its anxiety and just sent me home.. then I went right back to ER the next day and they hate me .. Sharp pain in my chest, right where my heart is. Heart fluttering. Heart skipping beats for days, literally thought I was fucked. Had to wear heart monitor a few times, burning sensations on lips, ears, cheek, chin, legs, arms, almost feels like a rug burn. Whole body twitching LITERALLY every 2 seconds. Like twitch on left arm.. then right leg.. then buttcheek. and just non stop twitching 24/7 for MONTHS at a time. ( For some reason when walking , all the twitching went away. but standing still / sitting or laying . they remain ) Scary shit. If you have twitching I think working out helps. Lift some weights, do some squats , ride a bike. Depersonalization , when u feel like youre looking at life from an outside perspective. Almost as if your are watching an avatar of yourself from a diff world. Feeling no connection to humans. Like they are a whole diff species you cant relate to. Scary shit when you already feeling like your dying and now you have try to remember what sanity feels like and explain to humans you cant relate to lol..., When I had full blown panic attacks I felt like i was drugged and I was fading out to blackness. My whole body felt it like had tiny heated bits of sand in it and was pulsating. It felt like I was burning from the inside as I was dying. So while its happening I tell everyone I love them and then prepare for death. And right as I accept my fate that Im dead and I brace for the end of my life. Boom. It starts to fade like youre coming off a high from the scariest drug. Ringing in the ears that I could NOT stop focusing on and it was freaking me out. I would try to disract myself but it would only last so long until i had another panic attack. Weird cricket type sounds I was hearing. I even had my ears checked by a specialist and they found nothing. As soon as I got on my medicine basically everything went away. These were some symptoms., Very low level pain in my neck on the right side. Its like I had something stuck in my throat and the feeling comes and goes. doctor said that could be anxiety related. If I think of more symptoms ill edit this post.
Top head pressure like someone pressing down!! And dizziness, went to doctor and she said stress! It’s amazing what they can do, recently as it’s got worse I got more floaters, visual snow, it’s insaneb
Hypertension headaches, Essential tremors and Formication(Delusional Parasitosis) could also be Anxiety related, but they’re also Antidepressant withdrawals as well! There’s also Restless Leg syndrome, but that’s just your nerves burning, which is related to Formication!
The strangest symptom I have had in days that will drive me crazy is myoclonus, but in the diaphragm muscles to the point that I inhale involuntarily, and I started thinking that this is a real disease and it is impossible for it to be anxiety
I went from ALS to cervical cancer to leukemia to pancreatic cancer to breast cancer and now I'm worried about esophageal and/or stomach cancer because I'm so stressed out that I'm constantly getting heartburn lately. But my stomach is constantly tense from anxiety.
Yeah fr I keep commenting on this video about this omg im a mess. I totally get what u mean. The stomach is easily affected by anxiety. I associate feeling tight and bloated with eating so as soon as I eat now I feel like that.
@pointless existence..... I'm okay now, my doctor has diagnosed me with Gerd. I will have the scope done to make sure but he's not worries because of the fact the the tablets are working. I feel so much better. I found the best thing to do I started writing things down in a diary. How I was feeling and I tried to write down the reason why I'm being ridiculous in thinking this way. It's the ONLY thing that has ever helped me!!
I had a panic attack May 14 while in bed and since then I've felt constant shortness of breathe and conscious breathing like all day everyday as soon as I wake up to the moment I go to sleep . Also chest and abdominal tightness . It gets worse when I'm having anxiety and panic attacks episodes . I've gotten everything checked and I'm healthy . It's hard to believe anxiety is causing this . I'm so tired, I'm scared, and I just want relief and never feel this way ever again
We have the same symptoms and it lasts whole day yes ! I quit smoking in June and quit alcohol in July , ever since then I've had the worst migraines ever that absolutely changed me . Never went anywhere . Stayed in the house . And now I have breathing problems. I've had 3 xrays done on my lungs and it shows clear. My only problem is my breathing
I never knew how intense health anxiety was until i got it myself. I remember hearing about it and not really understanding fully what it was but wow i get it now. I really fucking do! 😢 it convinces you that you're crazy. It's this darkness that takes hold of your body. And it controls you. You try to control it but no matter how much you keep fighting you always somehow feel like you cannot win. It's exhausting to experience those evil symptoms. 😢 i've never been pushed to the edge before in that way to the point where i felt like i was close to having a mental breakdown and i mean that. It really made me fear everything. It made me fear my own shadow even. I can't even go outside for a normal walk at night anymore. I used to go at night because i thought to myself that it would be great for me and that at night time there aren't many people outside and so they can't judge me but now with all the episodes of anxiety that i have encountered along the way. It has made it a whole lot harder to go outside or to feel slightly normal. I haven't felt normal in so long and anxiety has officially ruined me. I have been trying to get out of that dark hole though because i know that it's not good for me to keep thinking negatively. And i have been meditating which has been SUCH a life saver! Honestly though it really shifted my perspective! I have been meditating on and off for years now. I've started since i was a kid but then took it very seriously as a teen and now as an adult i need to meditate like crazy or else i would be the one going crazy💀🌚 It's still not easy for me to feel like myself and for a lack of a better word "normal"... But i am still obviously trying my best. I don't really get any support for it either and so I'm basically having to be strong for myself and that shit is so much harder than most people think. Just taking that next step and having to basically be your own warrior in those dark turbulent times. That shit is hard as hell. It sometimes feels IMPOSSIBLE to have a good day because of how your brain usually thinks of certain things. It's hard to just be optimistic but i have forced myself to get there lately. But as soon as you do it it just becomes more and more addictive. I know that positivity and shifting your mindset works because i have had weeks and weeks of good days before after many days of only just having anxiety attacks, panic disorder and health anxiety. So i have faith that it can change again because it did change not that long ago so there is hope of course! Even just writing about this right now is somehow making me feel more and more positive because of my own outlook. I know that i can be really negative at times because of how my brain usually thinks but lately i have really trying to push negative out of the way and i have really tried to be more positive instead because i am quite aware that that's the ONLY way to be! 😃💅🏽
I get the red bruises too, pelvic pain, tender scalp, pain in my pinky finger and itching all over, one time i woke up with white flaking skin all over by body too... crazy scary! But the list is never ending...
I starting having a sore tongue and bad taste more than a month ago. Now have full blown bitter taste in my mouth. Coupled with pain in my oesophagus I’ve convinced myself I have Oesophageal Cancer. Sufferer of seven years of HA, long suffering girlfriend. Finding this channel has been such a breath of fresh air for me. I feel like it’s reassurance seeking, but it’s so good to hear people who’ve recovered. Thank you
@@syfodias-jedimaster Yes it feels more im mornings plus burning too.... I sometimes feel a bit good but most of the times it's so frustrating like I can't eat anything a kinda fear of eating stuff...☹️
This isn’t triggering, it’s very very helpful. I don’t have specific health anxiety but health anxiety caused by what I’m going through which is nervous system injury ( long story) and insane stress is really amplifying this and causing more symptoms, insane symptoms in my brain and I hear them. I sit and cry as it’s so debilitating I worry my nervous system is broken, and even crying is overstimulating but the life stress is chronic and I can’t avoid it. I found this channel after looking for eye symptoms caused by stress or making them worse. I actually feel I could have a seizure right now so this helped.
I am an health anxiety sufferer first fear of heart attack then ALS then MS and now stomach and bowel cancer and breast cancer i am only 18 and i get fasciculations in my whole body every hour
It's so refreshing to hear someone have the same symptoms as me, recently has been the swallowing issues with drinks and only once food, of course Dr Google said it was als but I'm actually starting to believe I'm okay
Health anxiety has been a companion of mine since I was a kid. Fear from a bad cut on my thigh, had heel pain, leg pain and fear of amputation, fear of brain haemorrhage, brain cancer, blindness, HIV, heart disease, failure, attack, MS, fear of drowning, car crash, etc, etc! The list goes on and on!
Had health anxiety last year and watched ur vids and made me feel so much better and it’s come back and recently I’ve had a fast heart beat, really bad headaches and ear pain and I’m not sure if it’s anxiety or not
I have sinus tachycardia and I'm starting to wonder if it's caused by anxiety. A week before it started, a family member ran away from my home, and it took me a while to find them. On top of that, COVID was going on, and I'm very hard on myself when it comes to school work.
Facial twitching, tinnitus, collarbone tingling, temporary loss of vision. Wherever my current health worry is in the body - the symptoms stem From there
This video is great. When you Google the symptoms of anxiety you always get the “normal” ones. But when you talk to people that go through anxiety they’ll all say they have things that aren’t on there. I know one that shocked me was spasming in my prostate that caused my penis to burn that ended up being from anxiety.
hahaha ive had spasming there to! not the burning part but it only takes a 20m jogg for me to get a fork in my ass and cramps around that area... u are not alone!
Prickly skins, itchiness. Sometimes unbearable. I was convinced I was sick from mould exposure for about a year, but it still torments me 6 months after moving out of mouldy house. I know it’s health anxiety and OCD because it can go away, then as soon as a thought appears about it, it comes straight back. Neurologist said nerves miss firing. Heavy meds get rid of it, but who wants to live like a zombie
I have headache at left side of head only.... But my neurologist checked my eyes and said there is no requirement of any CT scan or MRI u are completely fine.... After that my headache gone.... But after some days again I got anxious that if my doctor missed something or he is not talking me seriously..... But the pain is always in left side of my head which comes and goes, sometimes mild sometime like nerve is painful
Sounds like TMJ which can be a symptom of anxiety. I went to an ENT and was diagnosed with TMJ. I could tell my doctor had dealt with many people who have health anxiety. You are most likely grinding and tensing on one side causing the headache. It went away because after getting that info from the Dr. you stopped doing it for a bit.
Sometimes the sinus area on my face would suddenly feel tight (like it's being squeezed or pushed down), or the neck and back of my head would feel so tight that I feel like I might have a stroke. Other times it would be extreme eye floaters, tinnitus, a prickling sensation all over my body, muscle cramps and spasms in my belly.... All of them get better when I remember to breathe through the them and tell myself that I am okay. It helps to observe the symptoms without judgement, while sending your brain messages of safety like "I'm okay" "this is just nervous energy", etc. (Learned these through the DARE app). But yes, they're all scary in the moment and sometimes I still get panic attacks from them. I've been to multiple doctors and physiotherapists, and have had multiple tests done, and they all came back normal. So... yeah anxiety causes pretty intense symptoms for me. Hope this makes someone feel less alone.
I’ve been having pins and needles all over my body for about a year now, numbness om the left side voor for 4 months it went away, and the biggest thing I have nou to deal with is burning feeling in my arms, hands and feet , sometimes my back hurts as well, I am convinced that I have small nerve fiber neuropathy, it’s scares life out of me! I already have seen a neurologist, she said it was an anxiety, but its keeping me voor I think for 5 months preoccupied! And I have had 3 big flare ups at night, I thought I was burning alive! So I don’t not to to think or believe at this point!
I have a similar situation for 10 months now I have had burning skin sensation all over every single day along with many other symptoms. Have had all the tests and have been told its anxiety..
A few years ago I kept having a burning, gnawing pain in my lower abdomen. All kinds of tests: CT scan, MRI's, barium swallows, colonoscopies, endoscopies and everything came back negative. I thought for sure I had cancer and it was all apparently just anxiety. Lately I have been having lots of heart racing feelings (even though heart rate is normal), both feet tingling like pins and needles, and random shooting pains in my neck, right shoulder and back. My cardiologist is pretty sure it is all anxiety related. I was finally convinced by my wife to get on meds. Just started buspirone last week. Hope it helps!
hey there ! i just want to ask that the cycle of health anxiety repeats after 2 or 3 moths as i am having the different symptoms but same fear of disease which i diagnosed earlier...plss reply
Mine is way diffrent, after anxeity attack, i feel dizzy when i look at my phone and computer, before my eyes were ok, but now its like every day for like 8 days already :(((
@@konnichiwow3139 I’ve had the same !!! Like the pressure and stuff!! I get pressure ontop of my hesd and makes me lightheaded, which makes me tired and ultimately so so stressed !!
I’ve had this. Every time I would look at the TV my eyes would zone out IMMEDIATELY. I got so freaked out I scheduled an eye test like that night. Came back 20/20, anxiety wins again 🤦🏻♀️
I remember having scary intrusive images when I was falling sleep and as I didnt want them to be there because I really scared them they apear even more. Now I am not scared anymore and I have my mind more relaxed. Also DR is currently my worst symptom and being uncertain of the idea whereas the world is real or not. But I am dealing with it and all days I say: I dont know what is happening or if this is a dream or not, but as I am now into this "condition" I am going to create the scenario that I want (If I am scared of having hallucinations then I am going to imagine me having that hallucination with dogs, with somebody who I love and so on, consequently, I would be less scared about having it(because the reason why each person have one or other sympton is the level of fear (and I really fear hallucinations, feeling disconected and a lot of other symptoms (but this could be for a huge book)))). I hope this help, all symptoms and conditions are valid and I really feel that everyone is going to overcome this, take it as a challenge (you are going to learn a lot after this).
i relate to this post so bad. I’ve had the exact same experiences like almost word for word. I had the exact same fear around intrusive images and thoughts before bed. Like most of my other fears I eventually get a moment of clarity where I am like “oh wait this is just getting worse not because I have an actual problem but bc I really just fear losing my mind. If I didn’t actively fear that and try to control it through compulsions I wouldn’t be so hyper vigilant over my thinking. and I wouldn’t even notice random weird thoughts like before.”🧍🏻♀️ and just like that I’m forced to recognize how I actively participate in my own suffering 😂 I am currently avoiding sleep bc I keep not wanting to think or experience images of the horror game I played earlier and also panicking bc my dpdr is really intense atm (I hate feeling disconnected)🚶🏻♀️self awareness has taken me far but not far enough lolll this helps to see I am not the only one though. gotta resist those compulsions
Has anyone else struggled with bladder pain/pelvic/ lower abdomen spasms with anxiety? I had a horrible Cistitis episode.. took my treatment and it left, but ever since then, i tend to hyperfocus on my water intake, the frequency i pee, and I focus on all lower abdominal symptoms until i feel pain. Strangely, when I'm busy or having fun the symptoms are gone. I even took 3 additional tests for uti/Cistitis that proved negative.
Through my anxiety, I believe I managed to get all my moles to suddenly disappear on my body. No explanation for that. But anxiety made me go to the doctor for a lot of unnecessary symptoms. During the summer, my face was constantly feeling prickly and I thought I had neurological problem or MS, but then I realized I kept having mild sunburns with the salt from sweat irritating the skin. My toes kept getting numb, after going to the neurologist for it, I realized the straps of the sandals were simply pressing on parts of my feet. My arms kept feeling numb and prickly, then I realized I sleep with my arms folded really tight. One foot and leg began getting much colder than the other for months. The doctors never had an explanation but I believe this came from forceful compression during sleep; because with anxiety gone, this issue was also gone. Mysterious things can happen, but a lot of things can have easy explanations, and just come and go.
What worries me is that my muscle twitching doesn't stop while I'm using the muscle. As a matter of fact sometimes using the muscle trigger twitching. It does it around my feet and ankle when I put weight on them sometimes. I'm only 31 and scared to death of ALS. It's all I can think about no matter how hard I try to distract my mind.
I have exactly this! Shoulder wrists and hands are painful and ache like I've been working them out (even if I haven't), but doctors say its nothing. How are you now??
Hi Cherelle nice channel... just discovered you... Great info... I'm currently suffering from anxiety panic and ocd I think 😅 mainly the panic and the feeling of derealization on and off with very scared thoughts I'm going crazy loosing mind and got a brain problem.... which I'm constantly worried about and thinking about daily ( any tips for this ?)my question is did anxiety ever cause you to have delusional thoughts? thoughts you obviously didn't believe but just the most stupid stuff and at the time they scared you/made you panic/anxious? Even though you knew they wasn't real ....Be nice to hear back from you... keep smashing it in 2024 all the best god bless 🙏
Also, if you begin drizzling in your pants, and your bladder is giving in as you are getting bursts to urinate, this might be the result of your anxiety leading you to apply a lot of pressure when urinating. Take it easy and slow, and breathe, and that problem will go away.
@@susywithluv Count to twenty when you pee, pee as slowly as possibly for the entire 20 or so seconds, to show that you got lots of time. No rush, no pressure. Better even learn how to count in another language to help dissolve the panic.
Just been some really bad stess/anxiety, symptoms were crazy, flickering left eye, itchy scalp, sore tongue, cold sore, dry lips, pricking, numbness, twitching, weird skin rash on arms, burning wrists, feet, calfs, sensitive hands, hands go red when holding something, leaves red mark and indentation for a few minutes, achy joints, kidney pains, diahorea, the list goes on
I’m with ya on a bunch of those. Sensitive skin and burning and tingling that lasts for just seconds on legs, neck and arms and hands. Had IBS and sore muscles and joints. Sounds like fibromyalgia and anxiety actually.
All these plus many more symptoms. Almost new evey few days. Crazy shitty anxiety making me think i have some deadly disease. I search for symptoms and google shows new disease and start relating to it. Its a vicious cycle ruining my mental health even further
i have so random fears :( Fear of my achilles sinews burst because they feel inflamed and hurt a bit. I'm so anxious about it, especially at night. I worked on the fear and it went well, but now it's back after 2 months because the pain is back :( I also had bad nerve pains in my spine for months and extreme fear of somethings wrong with my spine ! (I have arthrosis, but just low grade... But since i know i'm so anxious !!)
People say walking is good for anxiety but while walking also i get heavy chest but my heart test are normal 😢😢it increases my anxiety and now i have joints pain
I’m going to the dr Thursday bc I have convinced myself I have a BT I have Dizziness Tingling legs Numbness in left foot like it’s asleep Nausea Head aches Hard to concentrate I have rash and blood spots on left arm Shaky body Confusion Stabbing in one eye I thought I had heart disease but got X-ray and ECG done and they said heart was fine I was having chest soreness and I thought I dislocated my knee but they did X-ray on there it’s hard to explain to my Husband how real the symptoms are for me
@@milakolitsova3467 I used to have that symptom in the beginning of my anxiety disorder, just accept the sensation, accept that it's not something serious, it's only your nervous system playing tricks on you, there is no danger at all. Basically, if the symptoms you have, come and go, they are from anxiety, there is nothing to fear about.
I am not sure whether my anxiety or my symptoms emerge first (like the chicken or the egg dilemma) but I have extrasystoles (called PVCs but not sure) and after I felt my heart rhtym disrupted, anxiety hits immediately and ruins all my day. I also fell short heart rythm change like fluctuating sensation after I eat too much and sit in a position that my stomach pressing the heart. Although my cardiologist said there is no problem after ECG, Echo, 24h Holter and stress ECG (on a treadmill) tests, I sometimes fell these irregular or abnormal beats that hit more powerful so cannot escape from the anxiety of the sudden death. Do you have similar symptoms??
Hi Cherelle, Perhaps this is one of those rare symptoms. My left leg feels heavy dull achy and like deadweight. Would feel burning sensation all throughout. I’ve had health anxiety for about 5 years and I’ve never felt this particular symptoms on just my single leg so it naturally had me worried. I saw a video where you mentioned you had this from googling symptoms. I’ve never been the to google but I do overthink and catastrophize when something hurts that’s different and this is that case. Waited 4 days then went to hospital and was told it’s highly unlikely anything serious and here I am still dealing with it after 1 week. No crazy visible swelling or red spots but I constantly body check to make sure it’s not swelling or spotty. I hope some one can connect with this. Trying my absolute best to not let this control me. It’s real difficult.
I've had many anxiety symtoms over the 2 years I've suffered health anxiety but theres one that I just get so confused by. Frequent urination. Like I get random episodes of it out of the blue. I've had my tests done and doctors have said anxiety. The thing that confuses me the most is the timing. Like I'll get it when I'm not doing to bad. And it always goes the same way, itll be awful like constant urges like how a uti would feel then slowly eases off like I'll pee more rather than just a dribble or nothing but the frequency is still there if that makes sense and then itll subside back to normal, then it could happen after a few months again. It's so weird!
Has anyone had a strange tight feeling on one side of their throat? No pain whatsoever, the past week at random times the left side of my throat will just feel like it’s swollen, it doesn’t restrict my breathing it’s just extremely uncomfortable. Google keeps telling me it’s swollen lymph nodes but my nodes are not tender or sore. I’ve also been having muscle spasms EVERYWHERE and at the most random times. Sharp pains in my toes and again in the most random places which is so hard when I can’t pinpoint where they show up to even search on Google and all it does is make me even MORE anxious that something is wrong, from like a dull sharp pain to like an electric shock. Ive also got these painless lumps showing up on gums above my teeth, to unexplained itchiness and acne all over my body. This is all so unusual to me but I’m going through such a stressful point in my life to the point where my hair is falling out, this isn’t uncommon as I do normally lose hair but never in CHUNKS like I have been recently and I have no idea what to do. It’s taking over me.
Watching my right arm twitch as I listen to this. Year 6 of this crap. Super still all the time with bad blood flow/circulation. Lower legs are all dry. 40 doctors - no answers. Jokers/Useless - except for taking my money. Ever hear of dry legs being an anxiety symptom?
I’ve had the blood spots issue, I had thousands of them all over my leg, I’ve had widespread pain that feels like it’s in my bones. One symptom that seems very weird is not being able to hold my pee
Here's one for ya. I was in the worst of my anxiety and kept having left eye trouble. I went to this eye doctor 3 times. The last time did it for me. I was told I had optic neuritis. I then went to two different eye doctors and had an MRI done and all came back great. So one doctor made me think for almost 2 weeks that I had MS. When it was all stress, lack of sleep and anxiety. All of that combined can cause so many issues with your heath it is unreal. Now that one eye doctor will not speak to me since I questioned him. The other two eye doctors have no idea why he said that. Worst time of my life. I've also had the tingling, numbness, in ALL of my limbs, weakness in legs and left arm (it was weird) chest and body tremors. Internal and external. Body jerks. Like my whole leg would jerk in the air. Anxiety is no joke and I've noticed the more I googled the more my symptoms got worse. Or I would experience new symptoms after seeing a video of it or reading about it online. Crazy to think how anxiety can effect you!
What was happening with your left eye because my left eye has been seeing flashing lights and just recently a blind spot for a couple minutes. I went to an eye doctor about the flashing lights and said it was just the vitreous pulling away from the retina as it does sometimes. But now the blind spot freaked me out. Just curious if you had similar experience
Hey all, yes I am fine and doing very very well. I have absolutely no issues at all anymore. I was put on lexapro for a year. Finally weened myself off of it and I STOPPED googling. That was my biggest mistake was googling. I was so convinced that my doctor was wrong and Google was right. DO NOT go down that rabbit hole. It's not healthy. It's not good. It only causes problems. I have recovered and now know how to identify my anxiety and I calm it before it rears its ugly head. Come to find out my left eye issues stemed from a chiropractic adjustment which is VERY dangerous when it comes to the cervical spine. My anxiety in turn got SO bad my pupils were different sizes because believe it or not (I googled) my eye symptoms and pupil variation came across and I believed it so much so my body starting mimicking the signs of a diseases. Anxiety is awful and if you let it get out of control it take a LONG time to recover. I am doing fine now but it took my almost a year and a half to reach this point.
I have this weird tickle/weak feeling mainly in my legs but also in my arms slightly. And strangely it comes on a couple hours after waking and gets better at night. It’s driving me nuts
I do this thing especially when the sun is out when I’m driving I’ll start twitching in the face. I also do this thing with my eyebrows where I can’t control the movement in that eyebrow forehead area. Anyone can relate?
I HAVE THE SEIZURES TOO AND HAD ALL SCANS AND EEG 😭😭 nothing was found but i still have them cause i'm still extremely anxious idk what to do anymore they are the worst thing in my life, i had a blackout for the first time recently too. had the seizures for two and a half years now
I have blood spots all iver my stomach and legs i have had head tightness sinus tightness feeling i forget to breathe for a long time the last 6 weeks no apetite and not eating at all. Panoc attacka around food hot flashes dizzyness cheat pain and all day evwry day my legs are numb. I feel so tired and thiughts say well your going to fall asleep right now and never wake up. I get dizzy and wobble and feel like im flaoting almost all the time. Severw stomach pains and back aches tingling and sweating all over. Tachardia is a big thing for me although at times its bradychardia and i dont feel safe in myself ever anymore thoughts of hopelessness and not never getting better.
same, chronic shortness of breath + twitches :( its improved a lot since i started doing breathing exercises but i know what your going through and its absolute torture.
Hey! Just wanna ask if anxiety can cause trouble breathing through nose? I’ve been experiencing this symptom for a month where I can’t take proper deep breath through my nose and I know that I don’t have nose polyps. I am really scared
I’ve had terrible pain in lower ribs that goes round to my sides and back. Been dealing with this for a year now. It never subsides. Any one else experience this ?
I have got pain in my mouth and teeth for the last year and it's making my Anxiety worse. Dentist doesn't want to know doctors are trying. I suffer with chronic anxiety at the best oftimes
Yeah I had the same. Thought mine were enlarged. Get a tape measure and measure then if you can then you’ll see they’re rlly not that big. Can you still move them? Do they have a little bit of squidge to them. Like the feeling of rubber. Constantly feeling them makes them bigger and painful
Thank you for these videos. I thought I had ALS, MS, HIV, leukemia, brain cancer, neck cancer and early on set Parkinson’s like 2 years ago and now I’m going through my thyroid cancer and lymphoma phase lol. Symptoms I’ve had were night sweats, shaking, low grade fevers, brain fog, tremors, pains all over my body, chills, loss of appetite, twitches and muscle soreness.
Anxiety is crazy
I am right there with you! I have thought I had all of those illnesses plus a couple of others. I am 61 and finally let my spouse talk me into getting on anti-anxiety meds very recently. I have only been on them for about a week so no real change yet but I am hoping.
I’m so sorry you are going through anxiety but a HUGE thank you to sharing your story and symptoms! I have literally been riding in the same boat with you and I thought I had ALS/MS/brain tumor or cancer..it’s so wild! I didn’t know anxiety could produce these symptoms, I always saw the generic symptoms of anxiety on Google like the basic 10 that are listed haha . THANK YOU! 🙏🏻
@@jerryjohnson9531 how are you now
Hows it going? Hope your hanging in there and found technique to cope with it even better now
Thanks for this comment. M going through the same thing. So crazy. Just when i start to feel getting used to one anxiety symptom i get new almost everyday. I thought i had some life threatening disease. The worst thing is that it messes up with Menstrual cycle.
Just incase this helps anyone or they can relate:
- Tingling in limbs
- Painful knot in stomach and loss of appetite!
- Derealisation
- Aching behind the eyes along with headaches
- Eye twitching
- Trouble sleeping and waking up multiple times in the night.
- Tightness in the chest.
When i do manage to completely calm down (as i have today, although these are very rare occasions), all of these, ALL of them....just melt away.
It may only be an hour or so before Im back to full blown state of dread, but this is PROOF that if you truly focus on this all being from anxiety, they will subside 😊
tingling in my feet has been driving me crazy but I had no idea it could be anxiety symptom.
But when everything stops,the filing after is heavenly 🫠🫠🫠🧘♂️
I get tightness in chest too and can’t speak
How you felling now
Yeah all of them
I remember a particularly bad day where my legs gave out too. I literally felt as if I'd forgotten how to walk properly!
Hello! How are you feeling now?
My doctor said that wherever our anxious brain decides to hold tension, that’s where we will feel some physical symptoms. I’ve been holding tension in the base of my skull/top of my neck for almost a year and it makes my ears feel full, my heart race, my sinuses have pressure etc. I had the same ECG situation where I was told I had long QT syndrome as well. I had horrible PVCs and felt like my heart was giving out. It’s good to know that even our rare symptoms are most likely our anxiety. It shows how powerful anxiety can be.
Thanks for your comment and I have to say I can’t believe you also had the long QT thing too! I’ve never met anyone else who has had this. I’m fascinated! 🤣 what was your outcome? My follow up ECGs were normal. Anxiety is WILD! I 100% believe that our brain holds tension in certain areas of our bodies too!
@@cherellethinks my future ECGs were ALL normal. I still get the PVCs whenever I go through a high anxiety period, but my long QT resolved on its own. Isn’t that insane? It’s such an odd symptom, but so comforting to learn someone else had it too!
You are saying my headaches are normal? It’s so painful I wanna cry, these headaches don’t leave my body.. Weakness in hands and in others body parts. CT shows nothing.
Had this thing before 4 years , for months somehow I found way out, that’s only hope for me this time
We really need to control and lower Anxeity stress.
I get this same thing too. The sinus pressure neck tension headaches. I get it all
I have absolutely no idea. I am so lost. All of these symtoms, and telling yourself that it's just anxiety is so hard. Like pain in the left side of the head and the back of the head which travels all the way to the back of the neck ,ears, sinus areas. And the fear of what it might be. Jerks while sleeping. Randomly feeling like theres an earthquake because everything would be trembling but no one else would feel it. Like it's insane.
I never comment on anything on TH-cam but I just want to say thank you for your videos. I currently am thinking I have ALS. I have severe health anxiety and it is hell it’s not a good time at the moment, but I have cried watching your videos it’s like myself talking. Just thank you xx
You’re not alone. Health anxiety is a real B. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
I’ve had so, so many random symptoms. Petechiae (pronounced peh-tee-kee-i 😉), mucus in poo, blood in poo, hallucinations, twitching, myoclonus, wheezing, low grade fevers, tingling, floaters, flashes, jaw tension, chest ache, ache in groin, ache in armpits, abnormal liver enzymes, red hands, etc. Of course some of these aren’t DIRECTLY caused by anxiety, but anxiety really pronounced them. Like, blood in poop isn’t from anxiety itself, but anxiety can give you diarrhea and constipation which may cause hemorrhoids.
I have absolutely nothing wrong with me other than health anxiety.
Did ur gas and poo really smell different tho. Like mine consistently smells not right but the same smell every time. I get a tightness and bloating whenever I eat so it’s uncomfortable to sit. I can’t tell if bits in my pop are blood or just food. It’s scary
@@luke02salkeld yes
Low grade fever at Night with body heat
What sort of flashes did you have
Did most of your symptoms go away?
Cherelle, since May of this year I have been on quite the downward spiral. I’ve worried about everything. Leukemia, lymphoma, cancer, and now ALS.. but your stories give me hope. Currently, I have widespread fasciculations (mostly in calves), what I assume is brain fog, lack of hand coordination and balance issues, joint tenderness in the morning, breathing issues, and headaches around my temples. I’ve been there with you regarding blood spots popping up everywhere (cherry angiomas in my case), changes in bowel movements and color, and even upper abdominal pain. It’s hard to rationalize that all these different conditions could be hitting simultaneously, which creates some feeling of relief. However, anxiety is a hell of a trip, and I’m not quite off of the ride yet. I will say that staying active does help, and talking it through with friends as well. Google is the biggest enemy, and I’ve gone down the rabbit hole way too many times. That’s been my focus area, staying off of the internet and letting my body work through it. Thank you for these videos, and I’m interested to see what other people have to say!
Hey how are you now I am facing the same problems 🙃
I have had all the same symptoms 😕
Working through it. Admittedly, it’s really hard. Symptoms come in waves, and just when I think I’m fine, they hit again. But I’ve been to so many doctors and at this point everything has come back clean. Should anything change, I can let you know, but I have a strong suspicion that anxiety is the cause of all of this!
@@brandonsargent8747 ok man
@@brandonsargent8747 I can completely relate to what you're going through. In fact I think I've experienced pretty much every symptom you've listed, from fasciculations, to upper abdominal pain, headaches, joint pain, change in bowel movements, numbness, tingling, weakness, the lot. Last winter was the worst for me, it was a battle to get through the day as that's when all my 'symptoms' were at their height. But having worked REALLY hard on taking better care of myself, whether that be through exercise, eating better, getting outside, or even just talking it out with friends and family, I'm feeling much better now. I no longer really experience any symptoms, and while I may have a brief flare up here and there, I always try to rationalise my thoughts rather than go into panic mode. And I avoid Google like the plague! It's only ever gonna show you the worst of the worst and I've lost count of how many hours I've wasted down various rabbit holes. The mind is extremely powerful sometimes. I really do think anxiety and health anxiety are the blight of the modern age, all this information at our fingertips is turning us into nervous wrecks. Sounds like you're working through things though and I'm sure you'll get there, take care of yourself dude.
I'm so glad to have heard you say auditory hallucinations, I get that mainly at night and it's quiet uncommon to see that under anxiety symptoms when you search on Google or TH-cam
Yes same ! I have auditory hallucinations at night too 😢... Is it serious though?
I had these years ago after some trauma related issue...I was diagnosed with PTSD am now again having a really stressful time and they are back...they will eventually pass but very scary to say the least. You will be OK
I find that even when I’m not anxious but maybe stressed I need to pee ALL the time 🙄 it’s super annoying 😑
I have the exact same symptom! You’re not alone….even the tiniest bit of anxiety and I’m peeing every 15-30 mins!
Yes, me too! I had bladder tests and everything but nobody mentioned stress and anxiety until after I'd had a nervous breakdown.
Same! FML -_-
Me my whole life,when stressed ialmost cant even hold my pee sometimes
Same and my bladder burns but no infection and a dip stick says weird things yet a culture will say no infection
For me, anxiety seems to trigger joint pains among other things!
Today I was feeling fine all day until I noticed my blood sugar was a bit low. This set off a massive panic, thinking I’m gonna have any number of Horrible Things Happen and I started having headaches, dizziness, tremors, joint pains, etc etc which lasted me for ages after.
I tested my blood sugar again after having some sugar and it was well within the normal range - it was the anxiety that had generated all these new feelings! Even after seeing the blood sugar back in a safe range, the panic and all the symptoms that came with it continued until I started doing some relaxation practices.
I come back to these videos regularly and repeat your adage “Health anxiety is the disease”, because that’s the most important to remember when I’m catastrophising and spiralling.
This is me! I’m so glad I’m not alone! I started to get GI issues last month and the amount of stress it added on top of the stress I already had made it WORSE!! I started to have joint pain on my elbow and knees pains on my muscles through out my body 🤦🏻♀️😑 I am very low on Vitamin D but I need to get that fixed as well it never ends 😅
@@evelyncornejo8486I can relate I’m having Gut issues and joint and muscular pain. The joint pain freaks me out 🙈 my health anxiety has been through the roof. I’m now starting to take lots of supplements and try relaxing techniques as anxiety can cause a lot of upset in the gut
I honestly feel I get new ones every week. It's really upsetting
Same 😢
Does anyone ever feel a sharp pain in random parts of their body? Like a very brief feeling of someone pricking you with a needle or something. It occurs very rarely but when it does, it is terrifying. I also get occasional muscle spasms on my feet or hands. But like 2 weeks ago, I had this horrible night where my left palm felt like it was on fire, it wasn't too painful or anything but it was intense enough to prevent me from sleeping the entire night. But after I started taking B12, sleeping properly and working on my anxiety, I have been noticing that those feelings have more or less subsided. I still have sensation in my hands so its probably not nerve damage but this symptom of mine scared me to no end.
Yes, me !
Me too!
I get the sharp pains when my anxiety is at it's highest. It may take a few hours or days to settle... nerves are just misfiring all over the place. =/
Yep. Like Stinging nettles. All triggered by anxiety and OCD.
I’ve had a stressful month and my bowels have changed and I also developed sharp body pains everywhere lol and never ends. I am vitamin D deficient. I should have taken care of it a few months ago, but didn’t hoping to see a doctor soon.😮
My anxiety triggers heart flutters when Im relaxed and I get head pressure and unsteadiness! Just comes on from nowhere. Muscle twitches are constant. Doctors can’t find anything that’s serious so my conclusion is chronic stress and now on medication but not long started that so hopefully it will ease the symptoms. Great watching these videos! Really interesting and helpful.
The symptom that’s debilitating me at this moment is I feel like my legs don’t work. I think I’m so hyper focused on how my legs work and how I’m walking that it makes me feel like I have MS or something. I’m freaked out to stand or walk. I can’t even work right now. I’m terrified.
Have you ever had this problem before you started focusing in it?
Ask for an MRI referral from your GP and this will put your mind at ease
Oh my sweet friend. I hope you feel better and that you’ve found peace.
This is giving me peace of mind. Thank you
Thank you so much Cherelle, you’ve saved me from huge anxiety attacks, specifically withd ALS and brain tumors 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I had my first anxiety attack at 11 years old and didnt know what it was until I was like 19. Here are all my symptoms Ive experienced throughout the diff stages of anxiety.:
Feeling lighted head, Feel like youre on drugs, arms and legs start tingling, SUDDEN INTENSE FEAR LIKE THIS IS IT AND YOU ARE DYING, racing thoughts, racing heart beat, feeling like your vision is drifting into nothingness, tunnel vision, Very irritable, weird thoughts of crashing car into wall, bridge or whatever while youre driving., waking up in the middle of the night with extreme racing heart that wont calm down( had to call ambulance many times ) , feeling extreme guilt for no reason, scared youre going crazy or losing your mind, Visual Snow ( you see static like an old tv 24/7 ), bad OCD type symptoms where you can not stop thinking about your anxiety at all. It consumes your mind. I think I had the fake smells also, like random food smell that I havent had in years will pop into my brain and its almost like I smell it for a second.. real weird.. Heart beating hard and fast around 120bpm for 2 days straight non stop without my meds ( sertraline works for me ) . ER doctor said O its anxiety and just sent me home.. then I went right back to ER the next day and they hate me .. Sharp pain in my chest, right where my heart is. Heart fluttering. Heart skipping beats for days, literally thought I was fucked. Had to wear heart monitor a few times, burning sensations on lips, ears, cheek, chin, legs, arms, almost feels like a rug burn. Whole body twitching LITERALLY every 2 seconds. Like twitch on left arm.. then right leg.. then buttcheek. and just non stop twitching 24/7 for MONTHS at a time. ( For some reason when walking , all the twitching went away. but standing still / sitting or laying . they remain ) Scary shit. If you have twitching I think working out helps. Lift some weights, do some squats , ride a bike. Depersonalization , when u feel like youre looking at life from an outside perspective. Almost as if your are watching an avatar of yourself from a diff world. Feeling no connection to humans. Like they are a whole diff species you cant relate to. Scary shit when you already feeling like your dying and now you have try to remember what sanity feels like and explain to humans you cant relate to lol..., When I had full blown panic attacks I felt like i was drugged and I was fading out to blackness. My whole body felt it like had tiny heated bits of sand in it and was pulsating. It felt like I was burning from the inside as I was dying. So while its happening I tell everyone I love them and then prepare for death. And right as I accept my fate that Im dead and I brace for the end of my life. Boom. It starts to fade like youre coming off a high from the scariest drug. Ringing in the ears that I could NOT stop focusing on and it was freaking me out. I would try to disract myself but it would only last so long until i had another panic attack. Weird cricket type sounds I was hearing. I even had my ears checked by a specialist and they found nothing. As soon as I got on my medicine basically everything went away. These were some symptoms., Very low level pain in my neck on the right side. Its like I had something stuck in my throat and the feeling comes and goes. doctor said that could be anxiety related. If I think of more symptoms ill edit this post.
I have visual snow too! For all my life
You could get rid of all symptoms by eating well and regulating your nervous system
You’re doing gods work. You’re ok!!!
Top head pressure like someone pressing down!! And dizziness, went to doctor and she said stress! It’s amazing what they can do, recently as it’s got worse I got more floaters, visual snow, it’s insaneb
I also get the weird pressure in my head. I makes me feel disoriented and I get waves of dizziness too

@@MindyParker it’s really scary isn’t it !
Omg me too, I feel like it's gonna pop sometimes but then I noticed it only gets worse when I'm stressed
Hypertension headaches, Essential tremors and Formication(Delusional Parasitosis) could also be Anxiety related, but they’re also Antidepressant withdrawals as well! There’s also Restless Leg syndrome, but that’s just your nerves burning, which is related to Formication!
The strangest symptom I have had in days that will drive me crazy is myoclonus, but in the diaphragm muscles to the point that I inhale involuntarily, and I started thinking that this is a real disease and it is impossible for it to be anxiety
I would just like to say that you've made me feel so at ease because I now know im not alone so thank you x
I went from ALS to cervical cancer to leukemia to pancreatic cancer to breast cancer and now I'm worried about esophageal and/or stomach cancer because I'm so stressed out that I'm constantly getting heartburn lately. But my stomach is constantly tense from anxiety.
Yeah fr I keep commenting on this video about this omg im a mess. I totally get what u mean. The stomach is easily affected by anxiety. I associate feeling tight and bloated with eating so as soon as I eat now I feel like that.
Oh! I was finding for this in whole comment section....
How r u now....I exactly have the same symptoms...please update
@pointless existence..... I'm okay now, my doctor has diagnosed me with Gerd. I will have the scope done to make sure but he's not worries because of the fact the the tablets are working. I feel so much better. I found the best thing to do I started writing things down in a diary. How I was feeling and I tried to write down the reason why I'm being ridiculous in thinking this way. It's the ONLY thing that has ever helped me!!

If u don't mind what is ur age
I have a HUGE fear of throat cancer. My anxiety caused me to have swollen lymph nodes, a swollen thyroid, and a swollen trachea. Which DOES NOT help!
i have a huge fear to lymphoma! and i have swollen lymph node in my neck, ive been to 6 doctors but my anxiety is so annoying :(
Omg so me right now
Same boat, spoke to a neurologist he coudn't explain or even heard of half of what i was explaining to him.
I had a panic attack May 14 while in bed and since then I've felt constant shortness of breathe and conscious breathing like all day everyday as soon as I wake up to the moment I go to sleep . Also chest and abdominal tightness . It gets worse when I'm having anxiety and panic attacks episodes . I've gotten everything checked and I'm healthy . It's hard to believe anxiety is causing this . I'm so tired, I'm scared, and I just want relief and never feel this way ever again
I’m sorry this is happening to you. I have been there many times
I have so much sympathy for you, I had first panic attack April 3rd and haven't been the same since
We have the same symptoms and it lasts whole day yes !
I quit smoking in June and quit alcohol in July , ever since then I've had the worst migraines ever that absolutely changed me . Never went anywhere . Stayed in the house . And now I have breathing problems. I've had 3 xrays done on my lungs and it shows clear. My only problem is my breathing
I never knew how intense health anxiety was until i got it myself. I remember hearing about it and not really understanding fully what it was but wow i get it now. I really fucking do! 😢 it convinces you that you're crazy. It's this darkness that takes hold of your body. And it controls you. You try to control it but no matter how much you keep fighting you always somehow feel like you cannot win.
It's exhausting to experience those evil symptoms. 😢 i've never been pushed to the edge before in that way to the point where i felt like i was close to having a mental breakdown and i mean that. It really made me fear everything. It made me fear my own shadow even. I can't even go outside for a normal walk at night anymore.
I used to go at night because i thought to myself that it would be great for me and that at night time there aren't many people outside and so they can't judge me but now with all the episodes of anxiety that i have encountered along the way. It has made it a whole lot harder to go outside or to feel slightly normal. I haven't felt normal in so long and anxiety has officially ruined me. I have been trying to get out of that dark hole though because i know that it's not good for me to keep thinking negatively. And i have been meditating which has been SUCH a life saver! Honestly though it really shifted my perspective! I have been meditating on and off for years now.
I've started since i was a kid but then took it very seriously as a teen and now as an adult i need to meditate like crazy or else i would be the one going crazy💀🌚
It's still not easy for me to feel like myself and for a lack of a better word "normal"...
But i am still obviously trying my best. I don't really get any support for it either and so I'm basically having to be strong for myself and that shit is so much harder than most people think. Just taking that next step and having to basically be your own warrior in those dark turbulent times. That shit is hard as hell. It sometimes feels IMPOSSIBLE to have a good day because of how your brain usually thinks of certain things.
It's hard to just be optimistic but i have forced myself to get there lately. But as soon as you do it it just becomes more and more addictive. I know that positivity and shifting your mindset works because i have had weeks and weeks of good days before after many days of only just having anxiety attacks, panic disorder and health anxiety. So i have faith that it can change again because it did change not that long ago so there is hope of course! Even just writing about this right now is somehow making me feel more and more positive because of my own outlook.
I know that i can be really negative at times because of how my brain usually thinks but lately i have really trying to push negative out of the way and i have really tried to be more positive instead because i am quite aware that that's the ONLY way to be! 😃💅🏽
I get the red bruises too, pelvic pain, tender scalp, pain in my pinky finger and itching all over, one time i woke up with white flaking skin all over by body too... crazy scary! But the list is never ending...
I starting having a sore tongue and bad taste more than a month ago. Now have full blown bitter taste in my mouth. Coupled with pain in my oesophagus I’ve convinced myself I have Oesophageal Cancer.
Sufferer of seven years of HA, long suffering girlfriend. Finding this channel has been such a breath of fresh air for me. I feel like it’s reassurance seeking, but it’s so good to hear people who’ve recovered.

I sometimes feel a bit good but most of the times it's so frustrating like I can't eat anything a kinda fear of eating stuff...☹️
@@snowy-19 hopefully it goes away with time n we can deal with it till then
This isn’t triggering, it’s very very helpful. I don’t have specific health anxiety but health anxiety caused by what I’m going through which is nervous system injury ( long story) and insane stress is really amplifying this and causing more symptoms, insane symptoms in my brain and I hear them. I sit and cry as it’s so debilitating I worry my nervous system is broken, and even crying is overstimulating but the life stress is chronic and I can’t avoid it. I found this channel after looking for eye symptoms caused by stress or making them worse. I actually feel I could have a seizure right now so this helped.
Anxiety can cause anything and everything especially when fear is fueling it. Skin issues are a big one too
I had a huge rash break out on the inside of my elbow while I was deep down the ALS rabbit hole
Have you ever had tingling in your legs? Sort of where you feel shaky inside but not on the outside x
same here
Yes every night
Tingling in legs and hands and arms.
@@danielrezits5902did they go away?
Yes in my hands and legs.
I am an health anxiety sufferer first fear of heart attack then ALS then MS and now stomach and bowel cancer and breast cancer i am only 18 and i get fasciculations in my whole body every hour
Stomach and bowel for me too rn. What’s worrying you?
What symptoms do u have ...I too have same fear.☹️😭😭
It's so refreshing to hear someone have the same symptoms as me, recently has been the swallowing issues with drinks and only once food, of course Dr Google said it was als but I'm actually starting to believe I'm okay
Anxiety effects all body organs and parts. 36 years now for me 😢
Health anxiety has been a companion of mine since I was a kid. Fear from a bad cut on my thigh, had heel pain, leg pain and fear of amputation, fear of brain haemorrhage, brain cancer, blindness, HIV, heart disease, failure, attack, MS, fear of drowning, car crash, etc, etc! The list goes on and on!
How u overcome it
@ You just get up everyday and be thankful you’re alive, then get on with it!!!
Had health anxiety last year and watched ur vids and made me feel so much better and it’s come back and recently I’ve had a fast heart beat, really bad headaches and ear pain and I’m not sure if it’s anxiety or not
I have sinus tachycardia and I'm starting to wonder if it's caused by anxiety. A week before it started, a family member ran away from my home, and it took me a while to find them. On top of that, COVID was going on, and I'm very hard on myself when it comes to school work.
@@amandanicole5874Hey, how are you doing now?
I have sensation of passing out like my body feels weird
And I’m scared
Facial twitching, tinnitus, collarbone tingling, temporary loss of vision. Wherever my current health worry is in the body - the symptoms stem
From there
Foggy vision, makes it hard sometimes to drive at night. I never hear this symptom anywhere :( it all started after a traumatic event
This video is great. When you Google the symptoms of anxiety you always get the “normal” ones. But when you talk to people that go through anxiety they’ll all say they have things that aren’t on there. I know one that shocked me was spasming in my prostate that caused my penis to burn that ended up being from anxiety.
hahaha ive had spasming there to! not the burning part but it only takes a 20m jogg for me to get a fork in my ass and cramps around that area... u are not alone!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Crawling and twitching on my scalp.
Omg yes. This weird tingly crawling feeling and I get the twitching too it’s so uncomfortable
Did it ever go way??? And how??
Hello, did it go away, pls what helped?
Thank you so much for your videos...they help me so much.
I also get that feeling like a crawling sensation on my head and like bugs are on me. So weird have had this for years. Very frustrating.
I've currently had that for 2 weeks now. Ur not alone don't worry.
Like baby spiders?
Prickly skins, itchiness. Sometimes unbearable.
I was convinced I was sick from mould exposure for about a year, but it still torments me 6 months after moving out of mouldy house.
I know it’s health anxiety and OCD because it can go away, then as soon as a thought appears about it, it comes straight back.
Neurologist said nerves miss firing. Heavy meds get rid of it, but who wants to live like a zombie
I have headache at left side of head only....
But my neurologist checked my eyes and said there is no requirement of any CT scan or MRI u are completely fine....
After that my headache gone....
But after some days again I got anxious that if my doctor missed something or he is not talking me seriously.....
But the pain is always in left side of my head which comes and goes, sometimes mild sometime like nerve is painful
When I had this it was tension in my neck on that side. I still get it but not as bad. Stretching helped alot
Sounds like TMJ which can be a symptom of anxiety. I went to an ENT and was diagnosed with TMJ. I could tell my doctor had dealt with many people who have health anxiety. You are most likely grinding and tensing on one side causing the headache. It went away because after getting that info from the Dr. you stopped doing it for a bit.
There's this one time I tried to walk but couldn't and my stomach felt really hard. I'd like to know more about anxiety and digestion.
I have this
Sometimes the sinus area on my face would suddenly feel tight (like it's being squeezed or pushed down), or the neck and back of my head would feel so tight that I feel like I might have a stroke. Other times it would be extreme eye floaters, tinnitus, a prickling sensation all over my body, muscle cramps and spasms in my belly.... All of them get better when I remember to breathe through the them and tell myself that I am okay. It helps to observe the symptoms without judgement, while sending your brain messages of safety like "I'm okay" "this is just nervous energy", etc. (Learned these through the DARE app). But yes, they're all scary in the moment and sometimes I still get panic attacks from them. I've been to multiple doctors and physiotherapists, and have had multiple tests done, and they all came back normal. So... yeah anxiety causes pretty intense symptoms for me. Hope this makes someone feel less alone.
Low grade fever for almost a year 😭 all tests came back clean
I’ve been having pins and needles all over my body for about a year now, numbness om the left side voor for 4 months it went away, and the biggest thing I have nou to deal with is burning feeling in my arms, hands and feet , sometimes my back hurts as well, I am convinced that I have small nerve fiber neuropathy, it’s scares life out of me! I already have seen a neurologist, she said it was an anxiety, but its keeping me voor I think for 5 months preoccupied! And I have had 3 big flare ups at night, I thought I was burning alive! So I don’t not to to think or believe at this point!
I have a similar situation for 10 months now I have had burning skin sensation all over every single day along with many other symptoms. Have had all the tests and have been told its anxiety..
twitching!!! I am currently in a rabbit hole on ALS.
A few years ago I kept having a burning, gnawing pain in my lower abdomen. All kinds of tests: CT scan, MRI's, barium swallows, colonoscopies, endoscopies and everything came back negative. I thought for sure I had cancer and it was all apparently just anxiety. Lately I have been having lots of heart racing feelings (even though heart rate is normal), both feet tingling like pins and needles, and random shooting pains in my neck, right shoulder and back. My cardiologist is pretty sure it is all anxiety related. I was finally convinced by my wife to get on meds. Just started buspirone last week. Hope it helps!
did it happen when you wasn't even feeling anxious or belived you were anxious?
A new weird one for me during high anxiety my lymphnodes seem to swell everywhere and I get pain and soreness all through my body
hey there ! i just want to ask that the cycle of health anxiety repeats after 2 or 3 moths as i am having the different symptoms but same fear of disease which i diagnosed earlier...plss reply
Mine is way diffrent, after anxeity attack, i feel dizzy when i look at my phone and computer, before my eyes were ok, but now its like every day for like 8 days already :(((
I’ve had the same issue where I get tension and pressure headaches and my eyes feel strained and tunnel vision almost
@@keiarapearson8942 mine is like 70% gone now since my muscle tension and stress from anxeity lowered already, it will recover trust me.
@@konnichiwow3139 I’ve had the same !!! Like the pressure and stuff!! I get pressure ontop of my hesd and makes me lightheaded, which makes me tired and ultimately so so stressed !!
Yes same! Weird waves of dizziness for me especially when looking down at my phone
I’ve had this. Every time I would look at the TV my eyes would zone out IMMEDIATELY. I got so freaked out I scheduled an eye test like that night. Came back 20/20, anxiety wins again 🤦🏻♀️
I remember having scary intrusive images when I was falling sleep and as I didnt want them to be there because I really scared them they apear even more. Now I am not scared anymore and I have my mind more relaxed. Also DR is currently my worst symptom and being uncertain of the idea whereas the world is real or not. But I am dealing with it and all days I say: I dont know what is happening or if this is a dream or not, but as I am now into this "condition" I am going to create the scenario that I want (If I am scared of having hallucinations then I am going to imagine me having that hallucination with dogs, with somebody who I love and so on, consequently, I would be less scared about having it(because the reason why each person have one or other sympton is the level of fear (and I really fear hallucinations, feeling disconected and a lot of other symptoms (but this could be for a huge book)))). I hope this help, all symptoms and conditions are valid and I really feel that everyone is going to overcome this, take it as a challenge (you are going to learn a lot after this).
i relate to this post so bad. I’ve had the exact same experiences like almost word for word. I had the exact same fear around intrusive images and thoughts before bed. Like most of my other fears I eventually get a moment of clarity where I am like “oh wait this is just getting worse not because I have an actual problem but bc I really just fear losing my mind. If I didn’t actively fear that and try to control it through compulsions I wouldn’t be so hyper vigilant over my thinking. and I wouldn’t even notice random weird thoughts like before.”🧍🏻♀️ and just like that I’m forced to recognize how I actively participate in my own suffering 😂 I am currently avoiding sleep bc I keep not wanting to think or experience images of the horror game I played earlier and also panicking bc my dpdr is really intense atm (I hate feeling disconnected)🚶🏻♀️self awareness has taken me far but not far enough lolll this helps to see I am not the only one though. gotta resist those compulsions
Has anyone else struggled with bladder pain/pelvic/ lower abdomen spasms with anxiety? I had a horrible Cistitis episode.. took my treatment and it left, but ever since then, i tend to hyperfocus on my water intake, the frequency i pee, and I focus on all lower abdominal symptoms until i feel pain. Strangely, when I'm busy or having fun the symptoms are gone. I even took 3 additional tests for uti/Cistitis that proved negative.
yes!! i used to suffer with this really badly! fine now the bladder anxiety is gone though :)
Through my anxiety, I believe I managed to get all my moles to suddenly disappear on my body. No explanation for that. But anxiety made me go to the doctor for a lot of unnecessary symptoms. During the summer, my face was constantly feeling prickly and I thought I had neurological problem or MS, but then I realized I kept having mild sunburns with the salt from sweat irritating the skin. My toes kept getting numb, after going to the neurologist for it, I realized the straps of the sandals were simply pressing on parts of my feet. My arms kept feeling numb and prickly, then I realized I sleep with my arms folded really tight. One foot and leg began getting much colder than the other for months. The doctors never had an explanation but I believe this came from forceful compression during sleep; because with anxiety gone, this issue was also gone. Mysterious things can happen, but a lot of things can have easy explanations, and just come and go.
The worst anxiety symptom I have probably had was whilst asleep the sensation of getting smacked in the back of the head!
Lmao bad dream???😂😂😂
This is epic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What worries me is that my muscle twitching doesn't stop while I'm using the muscle. As a matter of fact sometimes using the muscle trigger twitching. It does it around my feet and ankle when I put weight on them sometimes. I'm only 31 and scared to death of ALS. It's all I can think about no matter how hard I try to distract my mind.
got any answers yet? i have the same thing, so i think u can chill.
I hope you are doing ok now.
Anxiety sure is a crazy what were your symptoms before it got really bad? Happy your on the other side 💪
Has anyone experienced tightness and stiffness around the neck, shoulder, wrist and hands?
Yes,and legs.Specialy when im in crowded place.
I have exactly this! Shoulder wrists and hands are painful and ache like I've been working them out (even if I haven't), but doctors say its nothing. How are you now??
The NHS website on MND is so unhelpful when I then come to watch videos like this
Hi Cherelle nice channel... just discovered you... Great info... I'm currently suffering from anxiety panic and ocd I think 😅 mainly the panic and the feeling of derealization on and off with very scared thoughts I'm going crazy loosing mind and got a brain problem.... which I'm constantly worried about and thinking about daily ( any tips for this ?)my question is did anxiety ever cause you to have delusional thoughts? thoughts you obviously didn't believe but just the most stupid stuff and at the time they scared you/made you panic/anxious? Even though you knew they wasn't real ....Be nice to hear back from you... keep smashing it in 2024 all the best god bless 🙏
Also, if you begin drizzling in your pants, and your bladder is giving in as you are getting bursts to urinate, this might be the result of your anxiety leading you to apply a lot of pressure when urinating. Take it easy and slow, and breathe, and that problem will go away.
going through this right now it’s so ugh annoying 😢
@@susywithluv Count to twenty when you pee, pee as slowly as possibly for the entire 20 or so seconds, to show that you got lots of time. No rush, no pressure. Better even learn how to count in another language to help dissolve the panic.
Just been some really bad stess/anxiety, symptoms were crazy, flickering left eye, itchy scalp, sore tongue, cold sore, dry lips, pricking, numbness, twitching, weird skin rash on arms, burning wrists, feet, calfs, sensitive hands, hands go red when holding something, leaves red mark and indentation for a few minutes, achy joints, kidney pains, diahorea, the list goes on
I’m with ya on a bunch of those. Sensitive skin and burning and tingling that lasts for just seconds on legs, neck and arms and hands. Had IBS and sore muscles and joints. Sounds like fibromyalgia and anxiety actually.
All these plus many more symptoms. Almost new evey few days. Crazy shitty anxiety making me think i have some deadly disease. I search for symptoms and google shows new disease and start relating to it. Its a vicious cycle ruining my mental health even further
i have to say, this comment section is heaven for a HA, haha. so many people having similar problems.
My tongue has been hurting for the past 2 months, the feeling as if I burned it but Im sure I didn’t. My doc thinks it’s due to stress..
I have had this too. Lasted a couple months then went away.
Sinus pressure and burning in my nose, only thing I can think caused this is the tightness of tension headache Ive had for months.
i have so random fears :(
Fear of my achilles sinews burst because they feel inflamed and hurt a bit. I'm so anxious about it, especially at night. I worked on the fear and it went well, but now it's back after 2 months because the pain is back :(
I also had bad nerve pains in my spine for months and extreme fear of somethings wrong with my spine ! (I have arthrosis, but just low grade... But since i know i'm so anxious !!)
People say walking is good for anxiety but while walking also i get heavy chest but my heart test are normal 😢😢it increases my anxiety and now i have joints pain
I’m going to the dr Thursday bc I have convinced myself I have a BT
I have
Dizziness
Tingling legs
Numbness in left foot like it’s asleep
Nausea
Head aches
Hard to concentrate
I have rash and blood spots on left arm
Shaky body
Confusion
Stabbing in one eye
I thought I had heart disease but got X-ray and ECG done and they said heart was fine I was having chest soreness and I thought I dislocated my knee but they did X-ray on there it’s hard to explain to my Husband how real the symptoms are for me
how are you? my new symptom is tingling feet and it is freaking me out.
@@milakolitsova3467 I used to have that symptom in the beginning of my anxiety disorder, just accept the sensation, accept that it's not something serious, it's only your nervous system playing tricks on you, there is no danger at all.
Basically, if the symptoms you have, come and go, they are from anxiety, there is nothing to fear about.
throat burning feeling,sharp aches at the back of ears,groin pain, pressure in the ribs out of nowhere... I just don't want to live like this 😭
I am not sure whether my anxiety or my symptoms emerge first (like the chicken or the egg dilemma) but I have extrasystoles (called PVCs but not sure) and after I felt my heart rhtym disrupted, anxiety hits immediately and ruins all my day. I also fell short heart rythm change like fluctuating sensation after I eat too much and sit in a position that my stomach pressing the heart. Although my cardiologist said there is no problem after ECG, Echo, 24h Holter and stress ECG (on a treadmill) tests, I sometimes fell these irregular or abnormal beats that hit more powerful so cannot escape from the anxiety of the sudden death. Do you have similar symptoms??
Hi Cherelle, Perhaps this is one of those rare symptoms. My left leg feels heavy dull achy and like deadweight. Would feel burning sensation all throughout. I’ve had health anxiety for about 5 years and I’ve never felt this particular symptoms on just my single leg so it naturally had me worried. I saw a video where you mentioned you had this from googling symptoms. I’ve never been the to google but I do overthink and catastrophize when something hurts that’s different and this is that case. Waited 4 days then went to hospital and was told it’s highly unlikely anything serious and here I am still dealing with it after 1 week. No crazy visible swelling or red spots but I constantly body check to make sure it’s not swelling or spotty. I hope some one can connect with this. Trying my absolute best to not let this control me. It’s real difficult.
I've had many anxiety symtoms over the 2 years I've suffered health anxiety but theres one that I just get so confused by. Frequent urination. Like I get random episodes of it out of the blue. I've had my tests done and doctors have said anxiety. The thing that confuses me the most is the timing. Like I'll get it when I'm not doing to bad. And it always goes the same way, itll be awful like constant urges like how a uti would feel then slowly eases off like I'll pee more rather than just a dribble or nothing but the frequency is still there if that makes sense and then itll subside back to normal, then it could happen after a few months again. It's so weird!
I have this, too. Exactly. It’s heinous.
I m also going through this problem
i have the same exact thing right now it’s so annoying 😢
Has anyone experienced a rash, hives? Ugh so annoying. 2 weeks in.
Yesss. I have a real bad one on my chest the doctor said it looks like hormonal acne
Has anyone had a strange tight feeling on one side of their throat? No pain whatsoever, the past week at random times the left side of my throat will just feel like it’s swollen, it doesn’t restrict my breathing it’s just extremely uncomfortable. Google keeps telling me it’s swollen lymph nodes but my nodes are not tender or sore.
I’ve also been having muscle spasms EVERYWHERE and at the most random times. Sharp pains in my toes and again in the most random places which is so hard when I can’t pinpoint where they show up to even search on Google and all it does is make me even MORE anxious that something is wrong, from like a dull sharp pain to like an electric shock.
Ive also got these painless lumps showing up on gums above my teeth, to unexplained itchiness and acne all over my body.
This is all so unusual to me but I’m going through such a stressful point in my life to the point where my hair is falling out, this isn’t uncommon as I do normally lose hair but never in CHUNKS like I have been recently and I have no idea what to do. It’s taking over me.
Watching my right arm twitch as I listen to this. Year 6 of this crap. Super still all the time with bad blood flow/circulation. Lower legs are all dry. 40 doctors - no answers. Jokers/Useless - except for taking my money. Ever hear of dry legs being an anxiety symptom?
I’ve had the blood spots issue, I had thousands of them all over my leg, I’ve had widespread pain that feels like it’s in my bones. One symptom that seems very weird is not being able to hold my pee
Here's one for ya. I was in the worst of my anxiety and kept having left eye trouble. I went to this eye doctor 3 times. The last time did it for me. I was told I had optic neuritis. I then went to two different eye doctors and had an MRI done and all came back great. So one doctor made me think for almost 2 weeks that I had MS. When it was all stress, lack of sleep and anxiety. All of that combined can cause so many issues with your heath it is unreal. Now that one eye doctor will not speak to me since I questioned him. The other two eye doctors have no idea why he said that. Worst time of my life. I've also had the tingling, numbness, in ALL of my limbs, weakness in legs and left arm (it was weird) chest and body tremors. Internal and external. Body jerks. Like my whole leg would jerk in the air. Anxiety is no joke and I've noticed the more I googled the more my symptoms got worse. Or I would experience new symptoms after seeing a video of it or reading about it online. Crazy to think how anxiety can effect you!
Hello, how did you recover?
What was happening with your left eye because my left eye has been seeing flashing lights and just recently a blind spot for a couple minutes. I went to an eye doctor about the flashing lights and said it was just the vitreous pulling away from the retina as it does sometimes. But now the blind spot freaked me out.
Just curious if you had similar experience
Wow good share.. similar boat as u
Hey all, yes I am fine and doing very very well. I have absolutely no issues at all anymore. I was put on lexapro for a year. Finally weened myself off of it and I STOPPED googling. That was my biggest mistake was googling. I was so convinced that my doctor was wrong and Google was right. DO NOT go down that rabbit hole. It's not healthy. It's not good. It only causes problems. I have recovered and now know how to identify my anxiety and I calm it before it rears its ugly head. Come to find out my left eye issues stemed from a chiropractic adjustment which is VERY dangerous when it comes to the cervical spine. My anxiety in turn got SO bad my pupils were different sizes because believe it or not (I googled) my eye symptoms and pupil variation came across and I believed it so much so my body starting mimicking the signs of a diseases. Anxiety is awful and if you let it get out of control it take a LONG time to recover. I am doing fine now but it took my almost a year and a half to reach this point.
I have this weird tickle/weak feeling mainly in my legs but also in my arms slightly. And strangely it comes on a couple hours after waking and gets better at night. It’s driving me nuts
I have a vibrating sensation comes when resting usually left leg worry’s me to death
I’ve had that many times when anxious, in both legs. Don’t let it worry you it will go away when your anxiety does.
I do this thing especially when the sun is out when I’m driving I’ll start twitching in the face. I also do this thing with my eyebrows where I can’t control the movement in that eyebrow forehead area. Anyone can relate?
I HAVE THE SEIZURES TOO AND HAD ALL SCANS AND EEG 😭😭 nothing was found but i still have them cause i'm still extremely anxious idk what to do anymore they are the worst thing in my life, i had a blackout for the first time recently too. had the seizures for two and a half years now
right and now i'm tripping memory issues 😭
I have blood spots all iver my stomach and legs i have had head tightness sinus tightness feeling i forget to breathe for a long time the last 6 weeks no apetite and not eating at all. Panoc attacka around food hot flashes dizzyness cheat pain and all day evwry day my legs are numb. I feel so tired and thiughts say well your going to fall asleep right now and never wake up. I get dizzy and wobble and feel like im flaoting almost all the time. Severw stomach pains and back aches tingling and sweating all over. Tachardia is a big thing for me although at times its bradychardia and i dont feel safe in myself ever anymore thoughts of hopelessness and not never getting better.
Hi . How are you feeling now?
Have blood spots and have the numb leg as we speak! Also, despite eating like a horse, I have still lost nearly a stone and a half!
