I'm still trying to accept this diagnosis. I have no idea why at 38 I've developed such severe anxiety without any traumas or life events. I'm still reluctant to accept it but after 10 ekgs and an echocardiogram and labs and chest xrays, I still wasn't prepared to accept it. This video is a blessing, and even more is the people in the comments sharing their experiences. Thanks everyone
Hey Sean! You are not alone here buddy! I’m 31 and I went to EKGs lab tests and emergency visits over the past 6 months. All this feelings I had I thought I was gonna die. It has become better now. I’m still trying to accept my anxiety but working on it. Our mind is so powerful !
Same here I’m 38 years and I’m suffering from anxiety bad right now just went to my regular doctor every thing if fine blood work,ekg, prescribed me medication but I really don’t want to take it .
Brother, I'm like that every morning. Every day I experience bad feelings, anxious, anxious, negative thoughts about illness and death every day, can't stop those thoughts, my heart is unhappy every day, my body is never fit, I feel very sick, so it's hard to smile, lazy to talk and socialize because I always feel unsettled and restless, always worried about my health, when the road feels awkward, can't focus, always looking for info on symptoms on Google and comparing them, increasingly anxious, weight loss, body weak, no energy, sleeping not qualified, and there is no interest and motivation to do activities, the feeling of always being uncomfortable is a symptom of what this is really about🙏🙏🙏
Ik how you feel I’ve been feeling the same for the past month and I feel like I have 10 different cancers hope we can get thru this and look back at it and laugh
After looking at dozens of TH-cam videos explaining anxiety, I personally feel that all of the 20 symptoms explained fits in well with my struggles. I went to the doctor a few months back suggesting that I may need to go for an ECG. They check my heartbeat and reassured me that my heart sounded fine and with the symptoms I was explaining to them were panic attacks. I feel I will revisit this video a lot where I can reassure myself ✨💪🏼
I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for stumbling upon your incredible videos on anxiety. Your content has been a lifeline for me, as someone who has experienced all 20 symptoms of anxiety and found themselves in the emergency room seven times in less than a month. Every time I watch your videos, it's as if a weight is lifted off my shoulders. Your ability to explain the intricacies of anxiety, word by word, has provided me with the understanding and clarity I desperately needed. It's astonishing how, after watching your videos, all my symptoms seem to vanish because I finally figured out what my problem is. Your dedication to helping others is truly remarkable, and I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude. Your content has not only educated me about anxiety, but it has also empowered me to confront my struggles head-on. The impact you've had on my life is immeasurable. Thank you, Martin, for your unwavering commitment to spreading awareness and providing valuable insights into anxiety. You have given me hope, strength, and the tools I need to navigate through my anxiety journey. I am forever indebted to you.
This was easily the best TH-cam video I’ve ever seen and I watch TH-cam ALOT! This really helps me to fight my way through all these panic attacks and anxiety to one day be back and relaxed. Thank you!
Martin, your videos have helped me and I'm sure many many others when it comes to anxiety symptoms and anxiety in general. I just wanted to express my gratitude, your time and energy have been used to help a lot of people and I'm very very grateful, thank you. I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Today I had chest pain and mild anxiety and it was weird because I was doing fine but it just started to hurt and I kinda started to feel like I was having trouble breathing. This video helped me understand thank you
Oh Lord😱. Where do I start? I tick every box. I have had problems since childhood with my first main ‘panic attack’ at 18. I suffered alone as I could not explain to anyone. The breathing was the main problem then and still affects me today at 74 years of age. Absolutely no way to live and it has really ruined my life 😢. I still live in hope and have the odd good day.
brilliant video has made my understanding of the symptoms of anxiety and your other videos. Suffering from Health Anxiety recently has made me miserable and thought I had every ilness under the son regardless of my all clear results at the doctors. Thanks for these videos.
Martin, I discovered you tonight. I have chronic health anxiety and I have at least 3 attacks a day for the last 6 months, I feel like I have 27 different cancers and according to google I was dead last week. Finding your Channel might have literally saved my life. It felt like there was no way out
Im glad my videos are helping you. Probably my most useful video for health anxiety is this one th-cam.com/video/FyLuSITxdbw/w-d-xo.html It shows CBT tools which can help reduce your health anxiety.
@@ishuish111 I still have my struggles. But I am definitely better! I was given a medication called bupropion and it has absolutely changed my life. I really appreciate you checking in on me after all this time. How are you?
@@luckky9530 hope you are doing well, what were your symptoms?i am dealing with tight chest and shortness of breath, and choking feeling and some time my hands shake
I naturally have an extremely strong fight response in situations and with my chronic anxiety and depression results in me being extremely sore all the time and physically tired.
I feel very worried about that as a OCD patient... I have felt them all, but the ones i feel more concerned are the ones related to bathroom (Going to much to the toilet or blocking in the toilet). I just to the toilet too freequently and i am also feeling bloated. I am worried if that can be another terrible or worst disease.😢.
Im glad you found it useful. I have lots more videos on health anxiety in my Health Anxiety playlist th-cam.com/play/PLLLHgjmNNVTF5PT0N3sTulqL2JOfggva5.html

Where Im taking Nebivolol 2.5mg ? I'm very much afraid about new medication and I'm not still taking it. Please! Reply me. God Bless you Sir.
I was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder 20 years ago (traumatic childhood). In most situations of daily life I can deal with it, but it goes totally wild in social situations when I'm in the center of public attention, eg., presentations at work. I can't do these without diazepam/lorazepam because I lose the ability to speak. My throat gets so tight, heart rate goes so high that I can no longer speak properly, I start mumbling and cannot pronounce words, my voice gets much higher and gets instable, all of which is of course embarassing. Only with benzodiazepines it's manageable. I'm currently on a burnout sick leave and I'm wondering whether I should ever go back to my career - these presentations are absolute killers for me, it feels like they are destroying my health more and more. Have been doing these for over 20 years now, but never got accustomed.
I am 65 now and like you I have always suffered from bad anxiety as a result of childhood trauma....my symptoms are very much the same as yours....I have tried everything to get some relief and the thing that helps me most is a breathing technique....it goes like this ....breath in through your nose ,about half a breath then hold for one second....without exhaling take another half breath in through your nose and hold for one second....finally exhale as slowly as you can through pursed lips...repeat this about 5 times or more if you need to...I hope you find this calming... I have tried every drug you can imagine and many "techniques" over the years...if it helps at all just know that you are not alone ...I wish you peace and calm in your life....
Crazy! Didn’t realize others would have similar life.. I deal with same stuff.. worse part is too you become reliant just for taking for an event or as such similar experience
I have to read discoloures to people over the phone and I panic I get #9 and two more like 6/7. I panic on the same part and stutter and miss words I panic on what they are thinking 😭😭
Omg 😳 😭 I have this much symptoms which disorder i have sir plz response me 1) headache 😢 2) ringing in the ear 👂 3) lumps in thront 😭 4) breathing difficulties 😭 5) skin burinig 😭 6) left hand pain 😢
I've been getting those too but I didn't know what they were called. It's the most oddest symptom ever. I usually get those while I'm sleeping and it usually wakes me up. Really awful symptom.😢
I would like to describe my case. I had a catarract surgery four moths ago. I had a very stressful period before during and after the surgery because I had to take some decisions about the durgery. Now I have a big problem with eyelids spasms and contructions especially in the sunlight. I visited 4 specialists opthalmologist they say the surgery is ok there is no inflamation and nothing to cause these eyelids twiching. One said to me that perhaps is because of anxiety and I hsve to calmdown and not to worry. I also feel pain in my backmuscles and I dint sleep well. Are all these and mainly the eyelids spasms and contructions symptoms of anxiety? Please help me
If the anxiety has only developed in the last 7 months you will be pleased to know that the chances of recovery are very good if you seek help. Unfortunately many people leave it decades before they get help and often end up on medication for life. CBT is the most effective treatment for anxiety disorders. If you can't afford or access therapy checkout my playlists. I have many videos that teach the principles and tools of CBT for different anxiety disorders (panic disorder, health anxiety, Generalised anxiety, Social Anxiety and OCD)

Thank you for explaining what I was going thru. I thought I was losing it mentally and was terrified. I'm dealing with dizziness, heart palpitating, forgetfulness, hard time breathing ... etc. Once again thank you very much. 👍😥❤

Does anyone have one of these symptoms 24/7? - tingling in different parts of the body that comes and goes; - Dry mouth; - Insomnia; - Accelerated heartbeat; - Repetitive thoughts; - Jelly legs,worse when I climb stairs or do things at home; - shortness of breath - Feeling of weakness on right leg
Hi yes I get the tingling that comes and goes. I get almost all of these symptoms it’s so debilitating 😢 I’m constantly thinking something is seriously wrong with me and I’m going to die. 😪
It start from health anxiety in 2020, then come neck pain, arm pit pain, it recover, but then go to seratus anterior, it recover again but come again, in the right chest, recover again, now in left chest plus neck, shoulder, arm pit. I take medical check up annually and there is no real health concern, but I always anxious. I pray that everyone who have health anxiety can recover 🙏🏻
Hey, i’ve health anxiety too, and the worst part is that whatever symptoms i search on google those symptoms start happening to me, which makes it even scarier. this thing i hate most about health anxiety 😭
my grandmother just passed away a few weeks ago and it really made my anxiety worse know the feeling exactly. hope you are doing better just take one day at a time friend all the best
Wow! I have been having massive anxiety recently to the extent that my family want to take over my life and think I’m incapable and scared I will be sent away somewhere- listening to this is incredibly enlightening ! Thank you You’re a life saver! ❤
Have a look at my playlists. You will find many videos there that can help manage anxiety. I have playlists for health anxiety, panic disorder, GAD, OCD and social anxiety
It’s worse now , my brother has paid people to empty out my house whilst pretending to help me. My husband has a huge habit and he has managed to convince them that I’m the one using and now they’ve got clever , coming in and leaving with my stuff. I’m scared beyond belief I’m shocked I can’t believe he did this to me. They even took the SIM card from my phone!
Has anyone else’s stress/anxiety caused eye aches, eye strains and/or sensitivity to light ? I’ve had my eyes checked and everything looks ok, but it’s been a concern of mine. I find it very difficult to even watch TV these days without having pain in my eyes. It’s also something that I haven’t heard other people with stress or anxiety mention. So I’m just wandering if others have experienced the same issues with their eyes ?
And when most of us beat and kick anxiety in the but! ...you will realise that gaining again your real self-conscious body you will feel way more PEACEFUL then you used to be before!! Thank God 🙂🙏
Man symptom 15-20 is what I have on top of the many others and what’s driven me crazy. I’ve been horribly worried I have some sort of condition because of my odd symptoms. Lots of health checks by so many doctors now. Time for the psych eval. It doesn’t make sense because I’m overall a very happy person with my life and family. Always been a worrier though.
I have schizoaffective disorder and the anxiety gets bad. It mainly causes me to feel like I am going to die. It is a foreboding feeling and is the worst feeling ever. If I don’t get my meds, I get this scared feeling the whole day. Then, I feel very scared. When I get like this I don’t want to be alive. It’s that bad. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy or bully.
Sounds like me. I don't have words to explain the "symptoms" or feelings. But i know it's scarry. Seroquel calms down those fears of going crazy, so i'll keep my bottle close by for sure. Damn it lol
Currently what I'm passing through, i get this palpitations at night and when i wake i find my body shaking, my hands and legs. I get this cold palm and feet. Makes sleeping in the after to be my worst nightmare because i will wake disoriented, anxious and weak sometimes. It all started when my doctor made some diagnosis of me having brain tumor after every test carried out, i don't have none. But the shock is now in me making me to excessively conscious of everything in my body, i browse etc lol. Its not fun at all.
my common symptoms are light-headedness headache fatigue shortness of breath chest pain and trouble sleeping. evertime i feel those symptoms i feel like i am sick and it all started when my blood pressure get high and taken medication in August 2022 and start overthinking about my health concern in December. from now on im still dealing with this symptoms and my mind are tired of this shit.!
I've suffered with health anxiety for 3 years and had blurred vision and floaters non stop for 2 years since I had a break down in 2021. I don't understand how it can still be going, drs say my eyes and brain are normal but this is anything but. No-one can tell me if constant 24/7 symptoms can last this long from anxiety
I had severe dizziness and off balance for months and all doctors say everything is fine. I was working 7 days a week with my business and once I quit everything and reset I slowly got better. Take your time and understand how your feeling is temporary. Hope you’re doing better now
Being alive is anxiety provoking. First, we talk people into thinking that they have a problem, then we put them on medication and subject them to endless psychotherapy.
I suffered terribly with anxiety when my daughter of 18 underwent surgery for a machanical valve transplant. It was so bad never experienced this before even my rib cage contracted felt like someone punched me, And all the other symptoms you gave is similar to menopause which i also go through its all very over whelming, because you dont no which one you going through i was also diagnosed with austo arthritis and pinched nerve in my neck. It feels like sometimes you loosing it. But with the help of God my Savior im getting through this.
dude the depersonalisation and derealisation symptoms are scary as ffff...now that I know they are just a result of alkaline blood...it is much less scary...Thank You so much man!!!!😇❤
I get numbness on my face and body, I heard it can be anxiety but no one seems to have it so that makes health anxiety worse. The weird thing is I’m not having an attack when it happens. I also twitch and have muscle spasm out of no where with no attack.
Not sure if it's anxiety or not but been suffering since 3 years with muscle spasms in back of my heard, then often feel hear palpitations and anxiousness & mostly trouble thinking or concentrating, & difficulty feeling coherence between what I am thinking and what I wish to speak, processing information when I am reading or doing things that require intellectual thinking like calculations...and feel constant heaviness around my head. Is this all part of anxiety?
@ josh anthon it's been around 3 years now. It was much severe before symptoms like difficulty falling asleep plus having felt breathless & panic attack only once as well thinking I would faint or got a stroke or something. But from all the scans / MRI everything seems normal. Muscle spasms, heart palpitations and fatigue were a lot more severe then until I started taking some ayurvedic medicine which kind of have helped subside a bit but not fully gone. More issues currently with ability to think or concentrate at times & mental stress around head.
This help a lot i always watch this when ever i feel an symptoms arising i feel like i have problem on my heart,palpitations,nervousness etc hate this feeling 😢
Thank you so much for this video . Its explained alot to me . My breathing was my biggest worry . When I'm visiting relatives I'm ok and then out of the blue I'll feel panicky and feeling like I can't breath , and clearing my throat as I think theres something stuck there. It happens most days even when I'm at home. It was really beginning to get me down but you've made sense of why it is happening . Thanks again 😊.
I've struggled with health anxiety since 2020 after a series of 3 panic attacks, each of which landed me in the ER. Since then I have come to accept my diagnosis for the most part. I must say, your content has made me go from believing just, say, 85% to now 100%. I kid you not. Discovering your work has felt like a gift from God at a time I very badly needed it. Other content creators have helped quite a bit as well, but word-for-word, you have described the exact things I've felt and addressed them in the most digestible and useful way. THANK YOU.
this video makes me feel better. i didn't know my anxiety could cause these symptoms. I could have sworn I have diabetes or covid or a clot. doom scrolling will make you believe you have any and every terminal illness. it is so strange how my anxiety appeared out of nowhere midlife. it can be crippling.
Hi, im 18 years old and I've been dealing with this since August 2022, when one day I got a lot of hives and they would not go away for like 3 or 4 days and then I began to have trouble breathing at night and at around 3 in the morning i could no longer take it so I told my mom. She checked my blood pressure, and it was extremely high, and I was shaking uncontrollably. She then gave me a pill that she takes for hypertension, and that helped which allowed me to sleep for at least 4 hours until it happened again. Then she told me to get on the treadmill, and that kind of helped. Then she ended up taking me to the clinic and the nurse made me fill up a form of questions and then she checked them and a couple of minutes later she told me that I had anxiety and that me not being able to breath well was one symtom. Since then, it has continued to happen but not that bad. A week later we started school and when I went up the stair to go to my clas si began to have trouble breathing and my teacher saw me having problems and she also said that it must be anxiety that I was dealing with. Since then, I have thought that I had cancer like leukemia, ovarian cancer, and cancer in my lymph node because I have had a swollen lymph in my neck for about 5 years. I thought that i might have diabetes, kidney, or liver disease. I also though I might have had pcos, endometriosis, or ovarian cancer because for the past 3 or 4 years I have been having irregular periods to the point where I only get them every 3 to 4 months and sometimes every 6 months. At the beginning of January this year I began to have itchy skin that would not go away so then I bought hydrating moisterising lotions which helped after using them for 3 or 4 days and using for the first 3 or 4 hours after applying because after that I noticed that even after applying cream my skin a few hours later it would get itchy again. Now it is februray, and there are days in which my skin gets very itchy but not as it did in January. Other symtoms or things that I have noticed in my body are these red dots it my skin, which i think are called petechiae and the first thing I thought was that they were something caused by a disease. I do remember getting them since I was younger, but I know it is something that bothers me. The reason is because now that I have been struggling with anxiety or with what I think is anxiety I have been looking at them more often, many times in a day and I have notices that they have been on my skin for over 3 or 4 weeks. I have also been asking and getting reasurrsnce from my mom or siblings. I feel like I have been having more hair loss than usual. Since then, almost every day, I'm googleing for symptoms, and it is getting very frustrating and tiring. I have also been feeling like fatiguef and tired, for example i can be walking and buying at a store but after 10 or 15 minuted i begin to feel tired and or weird, like dizzy but its not dizzyness. I sit down and a couple minutes later i feel better and a little more with energy.I have also been finding it hard to keep up with school, like my homework and a college class that I am taking that my high school offers in a program called dual enrollment. I have been working out every day or doing a section of yoga for the past 3 or 4 weeks, and I have seen a bit of improvement, or maybe it's just my head thinking that. * I'll probably be editing this comment a couple more times as I continue to remember what symptoms or things have been happening since this whole cycle started. ***Hopefully, you can see and reply to this comment and let me know if it is anxiety or health anxiety. Thank You. 😊
Hi Melissa. Sorry to hear of the difficult time you are having. The constant thoughts of having a disease and frequent reassurance seeking are very consistent with health anxiety. Skin conditions particularly eczema and hives are very common and usually harmless. Hives are a bit of a mystery that even doctors don't really understand but they are usually harmless. Hives often disappear on their own. (I had them for 8 months and they disappeared about 4 months ago). Its hard to say if anxiety causes skin problems but it can certainly make them worse and they often first appear at times of stress. If you treat the anxiety you might find that the physical symptoms become less severe. Can you access a therapist.? CBT can really help reduce health anxiety and its important to get help when you are young as it gets more difficult the longer you have had it. If you can't access therapy you will find lots of videos that teach CBT in my Health Anxiety playlist. th-cam.com/play/PLLLHgjmNNVTF5PT0N3sTulqL2JOfggva5.html
Hope you're well. I too have struggled in the past. I've been helped by following a daily course of diaphragmatic breathing. I'm a chest breather which has added to my physical pain as we're not supposed to breath from the chest. Diaphragmatic breathing helps to activate the Vagus nerve which helps to relax the body. It's hard to learn at first but if you remind yourself to diaphragm breathe for a minute or two at a time, a few times a day, you will eventually start to change your breathing pattern as the diaphragm will get stronger. There are videos on TH-cam which instruct you on how to do this.
I have same problem know my skin is so itchy feeling burn 😢 also have pain in my body doctors doesn't help me 😢 Are you OK now Please answer I have severe anxiety fear of bad disease 😢😢😢
I feel much better because today i woke up with a cough and it would hurt my waist and i already panicked and thought it was lung cancer. Health anxiety or other anxiety is the worst. I have Hypochondria and it is the worst i feel like have diabetes, every cancer in life, heart disease, Its just so horrible.
I've had a dry cough for 10 yrs. I hate it!!! for 2 days now it hurts my chest inside & I think EXACTLY what youwrote" is happening... God Bless & hope ya get better 🙏
Fantastic Video Martin! I watch a lot of your videos and they are all helpful. But this is probably the best for me simply as it explains these physical symptoms and lets people know its nothing to worry about ( assuming they have gotten the all clear by the Dr) . Could you do one on why you get physical symptoms even when you are not feeling anxious if you have not already? . For instance I get skipped beats even when I feel perfectly calm. I am sure there are others with similar issues it would help greatly too. Thanks! And Merry Christmas

After looking at dozens of TH-cam videos explaining anxiety, I personally feel that all of the 20 symptoms explained fits in well with my struggles. I went to the doctor a few months back suggesting that I may need to go for an ECG. They check my heartbeat and reassured me that my heart sounded fine and with the symptoms I was explaining to them were panic attacks. I feel I will revisit this video a lot where I can reassure myself ✨💪🏼
One of the big symptoms of anxiety is hypochondria
This just sounds like vitamin d deficiency to me it’s terrible
How are u feeling now??
Palpitation, depration,fear, stomach problem,fear,noise,all kinds are facing 😢😮😢 but now I feel batter after seeing this video.

Glad it helped. Check out my channel. I have lots more videos on anxiety. th-cam.com/channels/qqLyzF-oe8bG7gkTnev-3A.html
Oh Lord😱. Where do I start? I tick every box. I have had problems since childhood with my first main ‘panic attack’ at 18. I suffered alone as I could not explain to anyone. The breathing was the main problem then and still affects me today at 74 years of age. Absolutely no way to live and it has really ruined my life 😢. I still live in hope and have the odd good day.
brilliant video has made my understanding of the symptoms of anxiety and your other videos. Suffering from Health Anxiety recently has made me miserable and thought I had every ilness under the son regardless of my all clear results at the doctors. Thanks for these videos.
Can you make a video on how panic attacks can occur for seemingly no reason?
Martin, I discovered you tonight. I have chronic health anxiety and I have at least 3 attacks a day for the last 6 months, I feel like I have 27 different cancers and according to google I was dead last week. Finding your Channel might have literally saved my life. It felt like there was no way out
Im glad my videos are helping you. Probably my most useful video for health anxiety is this one th-cam.com/video/FyLuSITxdbw/w-d-xo.html It shows CBT tools which can help reduce your health anxiety.
@@TheAnxietyAttic you are absolutely the best
Lucky.. How r u doing now
@@ishuish111 I still have my struggles. But I am definitely better!
I was given a medication called bupropion and it has absolutely changed my life. I really appreciate you checking in on me after all this time. How are you?
@@luckky9530 hope you are doing well, what were your symptoms?i am dealing with tight chest and shortness of breath, and choking feeling and some time my hands shake
I have discovered you today and you are a blessing, TY
Brilliant. Thank you so much. All said in a kind, sympathetic non judgmental way.
Im more prone to anxiety and sometimes panicky at night time
Yes me too can't sleep at night fear about heart' attack
You deserve many more likes than this video has this has been a very soothing video for me awake and hypochondriac at 3am.
I naturally have an extremely strong fight response in situations and with my chronic anxiety and depression results in me being extremely sore all the time and physically tired.

Anxiety is the worst thing that I ever have experienced in my lyf it kills totally human effects!!!🙃
Please get closer to Allah.. with Dua.. recite salawath.. it worked for me
I feel very worried about that as a OCD patient...
I have felt them all, but the ones i feel more concerned are the ones related to bathroom (Going to much to the toilet or blocking in the toilet). I just to the toilet too freequently and i am also feeling bloated. I am worried if that can be another terrible or worst disease.😢.

OMG
I have all of these and been since 5months with meds
Sir, I was in panic attack in February and my blood pressure raised 160/100. Previously I've no blood pressure issues but I've palpitations issues and I'm taking Propanolol - half of 10mg(morning)
After this incedent I visit a cardiologist and he prescribed me,
Telmisartan 40 mg(night) + Nebivolol 2.5 mg(morning) + Clonazepam 0.5 mg 1/2(night)
After 10 days my BP become in normal at 120/80 and my all blood report ware super normal. After 3 months My doctor Decreased my doses.
Telmisartan 20mg + Nebivolol 2.5 mg and told me few some weeks you can stop Telmisartan 20mg as well.
After 2 months I'm suffering from anxiety and panic attack because of my father sickness and he died last month.
I go to a Phychiatrist yesterday, he prescribed me, Propanolol Extended 40mg(morning) + Mirtazapine 15mg(night) + Telmisartan 40 mg(night)
Sir, Is is okay to take first dose at Propanolol 40mg ? Where Im taking Nebivolol 2.5mg ?
I'm very much afraid about new medication and I'm not still taking it. Please! Reply me. God Bless you Sir.
I was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder 20 years ago (traumatic childhood). In most situations of daily life I can deal with it, but it goes totally wild in social situations when I'm in the center of public attention, eg., presentations at work. I can't do these without diazepam/lorazepam because I lose the ability to speak. My throat gets so tight, heart rate goes so high that I can no longer speak properly, I start mumbling and cannot pronounce words, my voice gets much higher and gets instable, all of which is of course embarassing. Only with benzodiazepines it's manageable. I'm currently on a burnout sick leave and I'm wondering whether I should ever go back to my career - these presentations are absolute killers for me, it feels like they are destroying my health more and more. Have been doing these for over 20 years now, but never got accustomed.
I am 65 now and like you I have always suffered from bad anxiety as a result of childhood trauma....my symptoms are very much the same as yours....I have tried everything to get some relief and the thing that helps me most is a breathing technique....it goes like this ....breath in through your nose ,about half a breath then hold for one second....without exhaling take another half breath in through your nose and hold for one second....finally exhale as slowly as you can through pursed lips...repeat this about 5 times or more if you need to...I hope you find this calming... I have tried every drug you can imagine and many "techniques" over the years...if it helps at all just know that you are not alone ...I wish you peace and calm in your life....
Crazy! Didn’t realize others would have similar life.. I deal with same stuff.. worse part is too you become reliant just for taking for an event or as such similar experience
Is it affecting your erection, libido and sexual life?

I would like to describe my case. I had a catarract surgery four moths ago. I had a very stressful period before during and after the surgery because I had to take some decisions about the durgery. Now I have a big problem with eyelids spasms and contructions especially in the sunlight. I visited 4 specialists opthalmologist they say the surgery is ok there is no inflamation and nothing to cause these eyelids twiching. One said to me that perhaps is because of anxiety and I hsve to calmdown and not to worry. I also feel pain in my backmuscles and I dint sleep well. Are all these and mainly the eyelids spasms and contructions symptoms of anxiety? Please help me

Oh no.. I'm dealing with it since 7 months 🥺
If the anxiety has only developed in the last 7 months you will be pleased to know that the chances of recovery are very good if you seek help. Unfortunately many people leave it decades before they get help and often end up on medication for life. CBT is the most effective treatment for anxiety disorders. If you can't afford or access therapy checkout my playlists. I have many videos that teach the principles and tools of CBT for different anxiety disorders (panic disorder, health anxiety, Generalised anxiety, Social Anxiety and OCD)
Me too.. I've been dealing with this since August 2022.

Wow! I have been having massive anxiety recently to the extent that my family want to take over my life and think I’m incapable and scared I will be sent away somewhere- listening to this is incredibly enlightening ! Thank you You’re a life saver! ❤

It’s worse now , my brother has paid people to empty out my house whilst pretending to help me. My husband has a huge habit and he has managed to convince them that I’m the one using and now they’ve got clever , coming in and leaving with my stuff. I’m scared beyond belief I’m shocked I can’t believe he did this to me. They even took the SIM card from my phone!
Has anyone else’s stress/anxiety caused eye aches, eye strains and/or sensitivity to light ? I’ve had my eyes checked and everything looks ok, but it’s been a concern of mine. I find it very difficult to even watch TV these days without having pain in my eyes. It’s also something that I haven’t heard other people with stress or anxiety mention. So I’m just wandering if others have experienced the same issues with their eyes ?
I get an ache in my right eye had tests and everything is fine
How often/severe do you get them? Do you find it difficult to watch tv or even look at your phone when they occur?@@shaunhawkins6542
I have eye strain and sensitivity to light from anxiety
It's good to know that anxiety can be the cause rather than something more serious. I hope you are getting better@@Rinadeej
Yes.. I thought I was going blind or had

And when most of us beat and kick anxiety in the but! ...you will realise that gaining again your real self-conscious body you will feel way more PEACEFUL then you used to be before!!
Thank God 🙂🙏
How can we fight and kick it please? I ain't myself since 2021
Man symptom 15-20 is what I have on top of the many others and what’s driven me crazy. I’ve been horribly worried I have some sort of condition because of my odd symptoms. Lots of health checks by so many doctors now. Time for the psych eval. It doesn’t make sense because I’m overall a very happy person with my life and family. Always been a worrier though.
I’m so glad I’m not alone with this
Same here! Normal guy, family, suddenly Its all chaos in my body. Really helps to see this video and all the comments
I have schizoaffective disorder and the anxiety gets bad. It mainly causes me to feel like I am going to die. It is a foreboding feeling and is the worst feeling ever. If I don’t get my meds, I get this scared feeling the whole day. Then, I feel very scared. When I get like this I don’t want to be alive. It’s that bad. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy or bully.
Sounds like me. I don't have words to explain the "symptoms" or feelings. But i know it's scarry. Seroquel calms down those fears of going crazy, so i'll keep my bottle close by for sure. Damn it lol
I am feeling heat in my head sometimes and my blood pressure also raised. Is it normal?
Get a proper diagnosis to be sure exactly, i use Psychedelics for my anxiety, works well for me fully natural no side effects.

Currently what I'm passing through, i get this palpitations at night and when i wake i find my body shaking, my hands and legs. I get this cold palm and feet. Makes sleeping in the after to be my worst nightmare because i will wake disoriented, anxious and weak sometimes. It all started when my doctor made some diagnosis of me having brain tumor after every test carried out, i don't have none. But the shock is now in me making me to excessively conscious of everything in my body, i browse etc lol. Its not fun at all.
Same problem
i have dizziness / feeling faint almost 24/7 :(
my common symptoms are light-headedness headache fatigue shortness of breath chest pain and trouble sleeping. evertime i feel those symptoms i feel like i am sick and it all started when my blood pressure get high and taken medication in August 2022 and start overthinking about my health concern in December. from now on im still dealing with this symptoms and my mind are tired of this shit.!
Same

I've suffered with health anxiety for 3 years and had blurred vision and floaters non stop for 2 years since I had a break down in 2021. I don't understand how it can still be going, drs say my eyes and brain are normal but this is anything but. No-one can tell me if constant 24/7 symptoms can last this long from anxiety
Ahh the floaters are so annoying
Stress
I had severe dizziness and off balance for months and all doctors say everything is fine. I was working 7 days a week with my business and once I quit everything and reset I slowly got better. Take your time and understand how your feeling is temporary. Hope you’re doing better now
Being alive is anxiety provoking. First, we talk people into thinking that they have a problem, then we put them on medication and subject them to endless psychotherapy.
I suffered terribly with anxiety when my daughter of 18 underwent surgery for a machanical valve transplant.
It was so bad never experienced this before even my rib cage contracted felt like someone punched me,
And all the other symptoms you gave is similar to menopause which i also go through its all very over whelming, because you dont no which one you going through i was also diagnosed with austo arthritis and pinched nerve in my neck.
It feels like sometimes you loosing it.
But with the help of God my Savior im getting through this.
dude the depersonalisation and derealisation symptoms are scary as ffff...now that I know they are just a result of alkaline blood...it is much less scary...Thank You so much man!!!!😇❤
I get numbness on my face and body, I heard it can be anxiety but no one seems to have it so that makes health anxiety worse. The weird thing is I’m not having an attack when it happens. I also twitch and have muscle spasm out of no where with no attack.
Rule out diabetes and heart issues first, I'm sure you're fine...and if so, than u know it's anxiety, I get that too!!!
Numb face and tingling feet
Not sure if it's anxiety or not but been suffering since 3 years with muscle spasms in back of my heard, then often feel hear palpitations and anxiousness & mostly trouble thinking or concentrating, & difficulty feeling coherence between what I am thinking and what I wish to speak, processing information when I am reading or doing things that require intellectual thinking like calculations...and feel constant heaviness around my head. Is this all part of anxiety?
@@ektaaasar how long you’ve been experiencing that? And up until now?
@ josh anthon it's been around 3 years now. It was much severe before symptoms like difficulty falling asleep plus having felt breathless & panic attack only once as well thinking I would faint or got a stroke or something. But from all the scans / MRI everything seems normal. Muscle spasms, heart palpitations and fatigue were a lot more severe then until I started taking some ayurvedic medicine which kind of have helped subside a bit but not fully gone. More issues currently with ability to think or concentrate at times & mental stress around head.
Had all of these. 30 plus years as an anxiety sufferer. Currently have an overactive bladder as I'm worried about bladder cancer......🙄
Overactive bladder, I have that today. Usually don't have this problem....
you had anxiety for 30 years?
Left side headache , tingling , cheeks and chin twitching , blurred vision ,

Thank you so much for this video . Its explained alot to me .
My breathing was my biggest worry . When I'm visiting relatives I'm ok and then out of the blue I'll feel panicky and feeling like I can't breath , and clearing my throat as I think theres something stuck there.
It happens most days even when I'm at home. It was really beginning to get me down but you've made sense of why it is happening . Thanks again 😊.
I've struggled with health anxiety since 2020 after a series of 3 panic attacks, each of which landed me in the ER. Since then I have come to accept my diagnosis for the most part. I must say, your content has made me go from believing just, say, 85% to now 100%. I kid you not. Discovering your work has felt like a gift from God at a time I very badly needed it.
Other content creators have helped quite a bit as well, but word-for-word, you have described the exact things I've felt and addressed them in the most digestible and useful way.
THANK YOU.
Glad to have helped.
start doing tia chi it works
If you ever feel overwhelmed by anxiety, talking to someone you trust or a professional can help you manage it better.
I put so much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels
this video makes me feel better. i didn't know my anxiety could cause these symptoms. I could have sworn I have diabetes or covid or a clot. doom scrolling will make you believe you have any and every terminal illness. it is so strange how my anxiety appeared out of nowhere midlife. it can be crippling.
Hi, im 18 years old and I've been dealing with this since August 2022, when one day I got a lot of hives and they would not go away for like 3 or 4 days and then I began to have trouble breathing at night and at around 3 in the morning i could no longer take it so I told my mom. She checked my blood pressure, and it was extremely high, and I was shaking uncontrollably. She then gave me a pill that she takes for hypertension, and that helped which allowed me to sleep for at least 4 hours until it happened again. Then she told me to get on the treadmill, and that kind of helped. Then she ended up taking me to the clinic and the nurse made me fill up a form of questions and then she checked them and a couple of minutes later she told me that I had anxiety and that me not being able to breath well was one symtom. Since then, it has continued to happen but not that bad. A week later we started school and when I went up the stair to go to my clas si began to have trouble breathing and my teacher saw me having problems and she also said that it must be anxiety that I was dealing with. Since then, I have thought that I had cancer like leukemia, ovarian cancer, and cancer in my lymph node because I have had a swollen lymph in my neck for about 5 years. I thought that i might have diabetes, kidney, or liver disease. I also though I might have had pcos, endometriosis, or ovarian cancer because for the past 3 or 4 years I have been having irregular periods to the point where I only get them every 3 to 4 months and sometimes every 6 months. At the beginning of January this year I began to have itchy skin that would not go away so then I bought hydrating moisterising lotions which helped after using them for 3 or 4 days and using for the first 3 or 4 hours after applying because after that I noticed that even after applying cream my skin a few hours later it would get itchy again. Now it is februray, and there are days in which my skin gets very itchy but not as it did in January. Other symtoms or things that I have noticed in my body are these red dots it my skin, which i think are called petechiae and the first thing I thought was that they were something caused by a disease. I do remember getting them since I was younger, but I know it is something that bothers me. The reason is because now that I have been struggling with anxiety or with what I think is anxiety I have been looking at them more often, many times in a day and I have notices that they have been on my skin for over 3 or 4 weeks. I have also been asking and getting reasurrsnce from my mom or siblings. I feel like I have been having more hair loss than usual. Since then, almost every day, I'm googleing for symptoms, and it is getting very frustrating and tiring. I have also been feeling like fatiguef and tired, for example i can be walking and buying at a store but after 10 or 15 minuted i begin to feel tired and or weird, like dizzy but its not dizzyness. I sit down and a couple minutes later i feel better and a little more with energy.I have also been finding it hard to keep up with school, like my homework and a college class that I am taking that my high school offers in a program called dual enrollment. I have been working out every day or doing a section of yoga for the past 3 or 4 weeks, and I have seen a bit of improvement, or maybe it's just my head thinking that.
* I'll probably be editing this comment a couple more times as I continue to remember what symptoms or things have been happening since this whole cycle started.
***Hopefully, you can see and reply to this comment and let me know if it is anxiety or health anxiety. Thank You. 😊
Hi Melissa. Sorry to hear of the difficult time you are having. The constant thoughts of having a disease and frequent reassurance seeking are very consistent with health anxiety. Skin conditions particularly eczema and hives are very common and usually harmless. Hives are a bit of a mystery that even doctors don't really understand but they are usually harmless. Hives often disappear on their own. (I had them for 8 months and they disappeared about 4 months ago). Its hard to say if anxiety causes skin problems but it can certainly make them worse and they often first appear at times of stress. If you treat the anxiety you might find that the physical symptoms become less severe. Can you access a therapist.? CBT can really help reduce health anxiety and its important to get help when you are young as it gets more difficult the longer you have had it. If you can't access therapy you will find lots of videos that teach CBT in my Health Anxiety playlist. th-cam.com/play/PLLLHgjmNNVTF5PT0N3sTulqL2JOfggva5.html
Hey, Melissa! I can totally relate with u as my age is same as u . I wish I could talk with u somewhere personally. It will relief me
Hey r u ok
Hope you're well. I too have struggled in the past. I've been helped by following a daily course of diaphragmatic breathing. I'm a chest breather which has added to my physical pain as we're not supposed to breath from the chest. Diaphragmatic breathing helps to activate the Vagus nerve which helps to relax the body. It's hard to learn at first but if you remind yourself to diaphragm breathe for a minute or two at a time, a few times a day, you will eventually start to change your breathing pattern as the diaphragm will get stronger. There are videos on TH-cam which instruct you on how to do this.
I have same problem know my skin is so itchy feeling burn 😢 also have pain in my body doctors doesn't help me 😢
Are you OK now
Please answer I have severe anxiety fear of bad disease 😢😢😢
I feel much better because today i woke up with a cough and it would hurt my waist and i already panicked and thought it was lung cancer. Health anxiety or other anxiety is the worst. I have Hypochondria and it is the worst i feel like have diabetes, every cancer in life, heart disease, Its just so horrible.
I've had a dry cough for 10 yrs. I hate it!!! for 2 days now it hurts my chest inside & I think EXACTLY what youwrote" is happening... God Bless & hope ya get better 🙏
Fantastic Video Martin! I watch a lot of your videos and they are all helpful. But this is probably the best for me simply as it explains these physical symptoms and lets people know its nothing to worry about ( assuming they have gotten the all clear by the Dr) . Could you do one on why you get physical symptoms even when you are not feeling anxious if you have not already? . For instance I get skipped beats even when I feel perfectly calm. I am sure there are others with similar issues it would help greatly too. Thanks! And Merry Christmas
Yep that’s me! Skipped beats when calm
