- Hi everyone!
In this video I talk about my TOP 5 worst anxiety symptoms. They truly are my worst of all and definitely the most bothersome. I hope this video brings you some comfort to know that you are never alone. Please note, I'm not a doctor or a medical professional. Please never take my own experiences over the advice over your doctors.

IMPORTANT: Unfortunately, I won’t be responding to Instagram messages anymore. I hope you guys understand. It’s not an easy thing for me to have to say. Back when I first started my channel I had very little subscribers so this was something I could do easily but now as my channel has grown and that I’m a mother to two very young children, it’s impossible for me to respond to everyone. I currently have 92 unread messages in my inbox and that’s only from last week. I’ve also been getting a lot of rude and hurtful messages of people saying that I’m fake because I’m not responding or sending me message after message demanding for my attention. It’s been getting me so down and people have said some horrible things. I know how it feels when you’re desperate. Truly, I do. I’ve been there and it’s sucks. But please remember I am just one person. A lot of people are also asking me for medical advice but please remember I am not a doctor. I’m just like you.
If you want to get in touch, I offer health anxiety talking sessions which you can book here - cherellethinks.setmore.com
I also have a health anxiety support page on Facebook that I interact with a lot. Just type in ‘Health Anxiety Community’ and you should find it. Lastly, I also do regular Q&A’s on my Instagram too where I can answer any questions people may have. I hope you understand and it’s never my intention to upset anyone. There just isn’t enough hours in the day. Thanks so much. X
Dont feel bad. You dont owe anyone a response. As you said you are not a doctor. You cant tell them anything that will truly reassure them. Health anxiety doesnt allow for much reassurance, no matter who it is coming from.
Dizziness, chest pains, stomach issues. The list goes on.
Gut issues , acid reflux, chest pain , numbness , dry hands ,
Swollen lymph nodes , headaches, dizzyness , lightheadedness, extreme stomach or Side pain , Panic attacks , rib/breast pain, nausea list goes on…
But right now extreme sides pain like if you pulled your self
Palpitations is my number 1 … cuz it triggers so many other symptoms like breathlessness. However … i’ve gone on a low carb / sometimes keto diet, palpitations have improved . But they used to be so bad , i would hear my heart beat in my ear and feel it in my throat while trying to sleep .
We’re not alone..anyone going through anxiety know you’re not alone. Tons of people are feeling what you’re feeling. Just know it gets better. It always does, no matter how hard to believe it is. Be patient and try to stay positive. Think positive, it’s ok you’re going through this, it’s ok you’re feeling it, it will pass. Try not to care what anyone might think, if you’re crazy or whatever because you’re not. If you were crazy you wouldn’t know it was happening, it’s just anxiety. You’ll be ok trust me, just try to be positive and keep yourself busy no matter how hard it is. ❤️ 🙏🏻
The brain fog one sounds exactly like what I get, it’s the WORST! The definition I found that really described it was ‘derealisation’. It feels like your high or not in this reality, you start having existential thoughts etc. So horrid 😭
Right now I have widespread twitching with a new hotspot, chest pain, cramps, tingling and weird sensations, sinus issues, brain fog, insomnia, gut issues, the whole bit honestly. Health anxiety is awful, so much time spent on worrying about and researching deadly diseases that you don’t have.
I thought I had colon cancer brain cancer, Parkinson’s,leukemia, als, Lewy body dementia,dimentia itself,osteocarcinoma,pancreatic cancer, and yet i still can’t get over this stuff help me please it all started with colon cancer fears I’m 14 and I’m now obsessing over als
Hey, I feel you. It happens. My started with fear of heart attack. Then moved to stroke. Then neurological disorders. Keeps going on. Your 14 . It's impossible you have any of these.
@@amdphen now I think I have a brain tumor
@@Waterboy2434 hmmm. Been there too. The symptoms keep changing!
In our mind- basically something is wrong! Just haven't figured out what! But that's the thing. Nothing is wrong in the first place.
Symptom hopping is a sure fire sign of anxiety. A physical condition isn't capable of moving!
Same here. I had a lot of panic attacks, but the last one did it for me. All these fears of having all these a illnesses is enough to set me off. And I think about it almost every minute of everyday. I feel like I don't know what it's like to feel happy. Together with all the physical symptoms.
I hope things have gotten better for you seeing it has been a year since your comment.
So glad to have found your channel. Health anxiety has been the bane of my life for years and during the pandemic it's been awful. One thing I try to do when I'm suffering from any of the many many symptoms of anxiety is to look and feel my symptoms and remind myself I've had them before. Insomnia is the worst because you end up living on adrenaline which of course increases heart rate and makes the anxiety feel worse. It's good to know I'm not alone though I wouldn't wish the condition on anyone. There are literally hundreds of physical ways anxiety can affect your body and that's what people dont understand. Yes it is a mental condition but the physical side effects are very real and can be very frightening. Understanding our condition and symptoms and what is normal to us is vital. Keep up the good work.👏🌺
You are a breath of fresh air. I found you two days ago when I was panicking and falling into the quicksand of symptom googling. You calm me like nothing else. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your journey. You're such a help and a beautiful person. THANK YOU!
Thank you for making the videos you do. It makes me feel less alone, and reassured. I've been getting numbness and tingling, headaches/migraines, constant diziness, ENT issues (i came off an airplane and its messed up my ears which has only added to my panic, making me scared my hearing is permamently damaged), IBS, Blurry Vision, Weakness etc etc. And it's scary because sometimes It makes you feel completely helpless and hopeless. Sometimes It feels genuinly terrifying.
Thank you so much for all of your videos. They’re really helpful ❤️
it is considered in health anxiety when you have read or watch person with the disease and after you watched it or read it.
feels like you have they symptoms too?
like if you googling their disease/symptoms after that you feel the symptoms too? anyone here experienced that?
Absolutely! That’s definitely health anxiety!
@@cherellethinks thankyou
I have this! I only will start to think I have something that I heard someone have, I had completely thought I beat this for like 10 years, then my friend has thyroid cancer, now I have been suffering for 2 years, and I just magically left lunch with all the symptoms she said she had mentioned during the time we ate
I wake up with numb hands almost every night - among other things (myoclonic jerks, numbness, nerve pain, neck pain, etc etc etc). You ever hear of anxiety causing numb hand at night? Seems like it has to be structural but no evidence to date :(
I roll onto my hands or arm in my sleep and when I wake up I often can't feel my hands. Never got it from anxiety
I get that too
Loved this vid! We hope to make a positive content just like you!💜💜
Great video. I Share so much of your anxiety symptoms and understand your inner battle. Unfortunately my anxiety related IBS got to the point where I'm now afraid to the leave the comfort of knowing there's a toilet near by. Being in a car or going for a walk is such a struggle. Constantly worried I'm going to poop myself and the more I panic, the more likely that I am going to need the loo. I'm curious Cherelle; Do you also have OCD?
Thanks for the video. It really helped.
Acid reflux is very common with anxiety.
Get medicine for acid reflux. I have been dealing with this for a long time.
Can you please do a video on chronic dizziness? Have you had this symptom?
The whole can’t breathe thing and the chest and arm pains are easily the worst. Had all the rest but these are the ones that set me on edge because they’re the ones that mean instant death.
Pandemic made me hypochondriac and I've been experiencing this gor like 2 months already... I can't take it anymore 😔😔
Yes oh God me too 😔
Same! Since April last year😞
The pandemic is really making it tough for a lot of people :(
Sorry
You can talk about your symptoms
Great Video again, had palpitations and gut problems for years. Just accepted it now. Still a pain to deal with though. Cut alot out of my diet including dairy and caffeine.
How does the palpitations work? Like in your heart or just random parts of your body?
I love listening to you!!!
Thank you! 🤍
Hey so I have had muscle twitches all over my body.. mainly when I lay down. Ive had high anxiety and have developed health anxiety after having covid.. I have had a persistent shoulder blade twitch as well. Do you think this is normal ?? My doctor did blood work and everything came back normal. Ive just never experienced anything like this. Im 28 years old and have convinced myself I have als.
The brain fog is actually derealization and depersonalization... so scary but very common with high anxiety😞
My absolutely no 1 is extremely pain of everything 😓😓😓😓😓 from my head to feet
Every day 5 years 😓
No. 2 tingling numbness everywhere
I can handle other symptoms but this chronic pain is absolutely killing me
I'm thinking about ketamine infections cause I cant take it anymore😢
The heart palpitations that then cause me to break out in a sweat, it’s even woke me up in the middle of sleeping. My digestion was hit hard, bloating after eating the smallest amount of food, even getting soreness on the left side of my core bar my ribs. It’s been getting better but I still am dealing with a little of this entire list
For me...although it’s not related to anxiety (I think) petechiae and bruises are both a very VERY big trigger for me....also vision problems and swaying sensation are the worst and random stabbing pains
Oh my God.... insomnia...today is the first time i got it...it is the worst I tried listening to rain falling on a roof to try and fall asleep. The more I tried the worst I felt....
I am having the worst health anxiety ever at the moment, it's taking over my life, the worst for me is definitely the palpitations every day all day and brain fog
Do the head sensations throw your thinking all outta wack too?
It is BY FAR the worst symptom!!
@randy navarro
OMGASH my brain just starts prijecting randome images and my thoughts are so random, like i say things with no contenxt
Hi Cherelle! 👋🏽 How was your labor and delivery with you having HA? Thanks!
Great Stuff 👍
Tinnitus has been my worst symptom ever!
The pandemic has everything to do with it 😔
Can you do another video on eye floaters please and how your coping with them of have they gone there such a massive community who still looking for answers or just support really knowing other people going through the same symptoms
Sure thing!
Hi Cherelle. With me, the worst symptom is, I randomly feel my heart kinda skip, or stop for a split second. Then i feel a wave if adrenaliin and butterflies. This alone starts me off and ruins my day. ECG was fine. But as you know that only put me at easy for a few days then it starts again. Guess im seekin reassurance, but do you, or anyone else, know what i mean? :) Great channel by the way!
I get these they are called pvcs. How are you doing now? Did you get them a lot ?
I just love your speech pretty lady just in love with you🥰from Malaysia
the twitches and feeling of fainting right before falling asleep is the worst symptom, this is what gave me insomnia also, i felt that every time i was close to falling asleep i would have to gasp so i do not stop breathing, it is debilitating, i saw you talk in a similar video more detailed about this, you are dead on describing this symptom
sister tell me do you feel pins and needles in elbow and knees or your hand and legs like they are in sleep.. uuuf i have pins and needles all arround my body from head to toe ..
Hey! I love watching your channel...but something I've learned is that if we talk about anxiety 24/7 we will never recover...after yrs of doings this I have accepted all my symptoms are all related to anxiety once we been cleared from a Dr....and then I've accepted my symptoms ignore them and continue to do your daily routine....and show your mind no fear or danger it will take a few months but believe me you will see a difference...makes some videos on recovery!
Hola Fabián... Supongo que puedo escribirle en español también. Llevo años con esa maldita ansiedad y por ella no pude estudiar tampoco terminar mis estudios porque tenía fuertes ataques de pánico ante mis exámenes y también diferentes tipos de neuralgias. Es algo horrible, la odio porque me quitó muchas esperanzas. Siempre había querido ser una persona del español o del inglés, pero por esa hipersensibilidad y ansiedad no pude.
I can read Spanish but I can't write it....I'm sorry to hear it has effect me for yrs as well....I can share my experience and hope to help you....I know what your doing wrong because I would do the same mistakes.....
@@sanchez4500 due to strong anxiety and my natural hypersensitivity I could not attend the University. I had to give up so many oportunities, desires etc. I hate anxiety and all its symptoms. I have always wanted to become a professor of Spanish or English but I Was not Lucky enough to make my dreams come true. I love so much Spain, México etc. Where are You from?
I have gone thru the same..you limit your self because of fear or what if I get anxious or a panic attack.....I want to stay home .....right? I am from Houston tx and my family is from Monterrey
Email me if want some more advice that ive learned this from my experiences ....
Fasanchez22@yahoo.com
Insomnia is the worst symptom it makes me think I am going crazy
Yes! I can totally relate to that
Hlo radhika … how r u now
Just sending love to my celebrity crush! 😍🥰😘
Haha thank you! Don’t think I’ve reached celeb status yet though 🤣
@@cherellethinks in my eyes you have! 😘
Yes the brain fog..derealization I've had this for 3 years now hope it goes away
I’ve experienced a lot of those my worst one is the unusual pain in my ribs n chest it freak me out all the time
Me too, endless
Have you heard of stress induced hyperventilation syndrome?
I seemingly have this and have chest pains, tingling /numbness, lymph swelling, alkalosis and panic attacks
And insomnia!!
I too have tingling all the time twitching also...
So accurate with my symptoms
Dear Cherelle, I wish You could be my friend. I wish I could have some friend who has anxiety as well. Only You and other people who have it can understand me. Brain fog is horrible before sleeping. Happy woman's Day 🌹🌞❤️👍
Did you ever feel like you were dying from feeling all the symptoms
At times definitely! It can be really awful
@@cherellethinks thank you for the reply and keep up the good work!
I think my worse symptom from it is tingly arm and not being able to eat or chew my food and extreme fatigue
Extreme fatigue SUCKS!
@@cherellethinks it does just completely exhausts your brain and body to the point that you just can't eat I've had it and I hated it ha did did months
Hi Cherelle, how did you manage to get out of insomnia?
I have been having bad headaches and weird tingly feeling in my head and stuff, I have convinced myself I have a brain tumor and it is very tough on me being stuck at home not being able to distract myself any advice?
I had the same symptoms for months and was 100% convinced I had a brain tumour. I ended up having an mri and it was all fine.. so ultimately that was what made me get over this fear and magically the headaches stopped once I knew I was fine. Otherwise , I kept telling myself statistically there is less than. 1% chance of having a brain tumour and that there has to be a more logical reason for the headaches (in my case I’m sure it was the anxiety causing it since they magically stopped once I knew it wasn’t a tumour ) if you absolutely can’t get over the thought , I’d say ask your gp for an mri or get some verbal reassurance from them for peace of mind. Hope you feel better soon
Hello guys hope you all doing fine, recently i started dealing with nubness in my face in my left cheek and im dealing with anxiety for about 10 months now but these last 3 months my anxiety was so high

You are gorgeous 😍
I’m getting pulsing under my left eye it’s worrying me now as it is visible getting the body jerk, tingling in my face. I don’t now what to do.
I’ve had many twitches near my eye! They’re very common and I’ve also had terrible facial tingling and jerks. Sounds like anxiety to me!
What is the feeling of palpitations? Because I have like Skipping and extra beats, sometimes feels like its fluttering and it scares me.
That’s palpitations yes
My symptoms have now changed.... ughhhhhh
Shortness of breath, like I can’t get a deep breath? Anyone else??😢 I
Wow I felt like I have never connected with somebody about disassociation... until now. Disassociation is one of my worst symptoms and if I could trade anything in the world it would be that 😂🥰
Ditto! It’s really awful isn’t it! X
I was also wondering if i have a vitamin d deficiency can that cause stuttering and sluring words.
No. It is because of anxiety! It happens.
Are you getting tingling twitching all the time or when you feel anxious only?
I get twitches all the time even when I'm not anxious at all.
@@qpffosb1322 Do you get facial twitches??
@@qpffosb1322 are you okay facing same problem
Can anxiety cause aches and stiffness and cracking and popping sound from joints????
Absolutely!!!!
Yep! Every single day my chest, shoulders, and back hurt😞
It's in my stiffened legs chronic GAD
@@DanaPrice how much time it will take to be normal because I m tired of stiffened legs 😭
@@radhikanamdev6597 I'm asking the same thing. Stiffness in legs is the most annoying thing. Combined with dizziness is like hell.
My worst symptom is by far the psychosomatic pain.
What about massive hair loose?Does anyone else have this problem?
Did you ever have swallowing issues. I had twitching combined with swallowing and chocking problems. I had myself tested for neurological diseases, but it still scares me.
Oh gosh yes! Used to always convince myself I couldn’t swallow. Espeically when I went down the ALS rabbit hole!
Do you get face twitches other than your eyes?
@@lilacue118 i get them in on my lip and chin
@@owen.j.hightower did you ever figure out why?
@@lilacue118 i notice them more after periods of severe stress and anxiety, however i'm not quite sure. I have been diagnosed with BFS
The Hypnic Jerks can be brutal. At their worst it was like being hit with a defibrillator on the chest. Wake up gasping for breath. Not great at all :(
Did you experience leg pains and weakness? Xx
I have weakness in my left foot.. arch and ankle 😔
@@Mawo3pg I have the same thing feel like I've lost powers in one foot
@@kerryc7329... and I have twitching real bad in that foot.. its not cool
I had perceived weakness in my left leg yes! X
@@cherellethinks thank you xx
#1 is called depersonalization and derealization
Im wondering does lack of vitamin d cause leg cramps?
It can do yes!
I have burning skin tingling pin and needle pinching biting feeling crawly feeling
What does burning skin feel like?
@@maygonmoore1901 like sunburn do u feel the same too
Same here. Been dealing with it for almost 2 months. Haven't got it checked yet though, how about you guys? Any checkup?
@@ChrisX236 yes and my doctor say it anxiety
@@aj2954 Hmm that's interesting. I've had anxiety since last year but I didn't feel these symptoms till January. I wonder why that is. Do the symptoms come and go for you? And do they vary in intensity?
Is anyone experiencing tightness in the throat, neck pain, and an inability to sneeze due to anxiety?
I have a question. I've been having health anxiety and "palpitations" for almost a year now, but everytime I read other people talk about it, it's always different. What I personally feel is my heartbeat all over my body (hands, legs, neck, arms, stomach etc) and it's almost as if I'm constantly hyperaware of my heartbeat. But I also read that palpitations is when people feel like their heart starts beating really fast so like tachycardia (?)
Sorry for my english. I'm not an english-speaker but I'm just trying to understand if this is what people mean as palpitations.
Like I don't feel an irregular pulse ?? I just feel it in a very intense way and it's all over my body. (I got blood work and ECG done and it was all okay..)
If your ECG was okay I think you can mostly be reassured about your heart. Everyone experiences palpitations differently. For example, with me, it feels like an ectopic best where I’ve get one big THUD in my chest. Other people will feel their heartbeat really fast in their chest. Some people feel it in their throat/neck. That’s where I feel my palpitations. The internet can be quite confusing when it comes to palpitations. I know how you feel!
I felt mine in my chest and stomach even on my head when lying down too.
@@qpffosb1322 i hve this, almost like i get a pulsating feeling on my fingertips, my neck, while im seated and im aware that its actually my heartbeat.. i have shakiness too that comes with it...
@@surinderkaur3646 Omg Same! I have shakiness too that feels like it's coordinated (?) with my heartbeat :( it's so bad
Did you ever experience problems during your menstrual cycle? More pain? Etc..
Yes all of my symptoms are definitely heightened around my period!
Ugh the twitching is making me insane. Also dizziness 😅
Same.. how long have u had dizziness for
@@qpffosb1322 for years now.. on and off
Worst is full-body pains.God help us.
Does anyone know if anxiety can cause slurred speech?
Anxiety can cause lots of scary things. Get checked out first by a doctor and if you are okay after that then its anxiety. Anxiety can also be treated. The best advice I have come across is say to your self "this too shall pass".
My worst Symptome is Eye Floaters 😭😭😭
Is the brain fog like your mind isn’t completely there lack a bit of a lack of consciousness or feeling like you’re in a dream?
Exactly how I describe it! Like I’m in a dream. It’s so awful isn’t it!
@@cherellethinks The Brain fog might actually be Depersonalisation and Derealisation they are usually triggered by panic or excess anxiety, some people describe it as feeling like you’re experiencing reality from behind a pain of glass, lack of sense of distance, people may feel further away and it may feel like your consciousness is positioned outside of your head. I got this bad recently with a panic attack, looked in the mirror and saw myself but I was almost unrecognisable. It’s by far the worst symptom because it can feel like you’re losing your mind or inducing a psychosis but it isn’t :) usually Depersonalisation and Derealisation pass after the trauma or panic subsides.
@@angelazakos2846 i hear cold showers fix it
Have you ever had Uveitis?? In your eyes?
No I haven’t x
my one is probably brain zaps
I think I have that
Vibrating when relaxing awful
R u on any meds?
No I haven’t been on any meds for a year now x
@@cherellethinks thank you for answer so fast!!
Did you experience brain zaps?
I did yes but only when I was coming off my antidepressants which felt so weird!
Mine are
1. Depersonalisation
2.insomnia
3.stomach pains/ burning
4. Acid reflux
5.focusing on breathing/ shortness of breath
