Anxiety symptoms that I can’t explain

I want to ensure you that you're not the only one having this. When you have anxiety, you usually feel like you have a neurological disorder. That's how your brain respond it.

I'm having a problem similar to yours. I can only advice what my doctor adviced me. You should find a cause behind the anxiety. Is it you're afraid of an illness? Or is it trauma that happened to you? Is it worsening with your negative thoughts?

If it worsens every time you leave home, you're probably being anxious.

I can support you at this as my symptoms appeared right after a bad period of my life. I suffered half a year, not even realizing I suffer. Then, I got an unexpected panic attack. Since that day, I really feel numbness even though its not on daily basis.

I advice you - See your doctor and hear what they say. Probably, It can relieve your stress. It always relieves mine.

long-term anxiety can really be a pain in the butt especially if you are one of those people that can't get medical assurances to ensure that there is really nothing severe or wrong going on with your body and i'am one of those people as well. Only i can do is to just keep on thinking that this might just be anxiety like feeling of slurring or any unusual sensations within my tongue or even sometimes in my throat whether if i have a frequent mild case of GERD or something else. Not to mention, i once had a muscle tension on my left forearm last week but its all good now though the only parts where i'm still being a bit anxious is at my throat and tongue. it really sucks on being stuck in an endless loop of you waking up every single day then afterwards, anxiety gonna come and get to ya by the time you wake up slapping you in the face with a thought of you might having a neurological or some other severe diseases that are life-threatening. Anxiety can provide anyone some symptoms that are unexplainable and probably benign, depending on the person on what will occur on him/her. the pandemic really took a toll on a lot of people's mental health these days so i won't be surprised if cases of anxiety would go rocket high and i'm one of those people. But i could only recommend for you to probably stop listening to music or any sort of sounds in a high pitch or volume since it could also trigger vertigo from what i know since my gramps also experienced vertigo a few times already and As much as possible, consulting a doctor is also a must. or you can listen to any relaxing musics, background noises, hypnosis, asmr etc anything that could provide relaxation to you.

your symptoms are similar to how i feel, i went to see a psychiatrist as i have a biological disposition to anxiety and depression , and my symptoms are overwhelming. I cant function

properly. im off work feel distressed, i restarted on meds ,which relieve the symptoms you describe.

Im on week 5 of meds , i withdrew from society , and the medication is starting to lower the distress symptoms , so please you must not face this alone seek medical advice , and understand that you need help as facing it without medical support is distressing . The help is

good , and taking medication i believe is the start to recovery.

You are not mad , you are needing some intervention t find the best cure to get you to feel better.

As you can see we are a group of individuals who have had similar experiences.

Good Luck You will get better ring your doctor , and say you are mentally not in a good place

ask about anti anxiety pills , they help you.

Hope this helps you ,I'm so happy to say my sertraline have improved my moods , but ask your doctor about the side effects.

I have had several of those symptoms for 13 yrs now. And they don't just happen when I'm out they can pop up at any time without any warning. When I have them for a little bit or a day I can ride it out. When it lasts for days I can't stand it. Then I start to want to never leave the house because I don't want them to pop up when I'm out somewhere. I get a numb feeling in right eye and side of face. Sometimes numb spot on back. My arms and legs feel really heavy and I feel shaky and faint.

I was stunned reading your post because I'm experiencing EXACTLY what you describe. I'm not too bad at home, although I have had the odd feeling of unsteadiness, but when I leave the house it feels like my legs are full of concrete, I feel I can't move them, I feel unsteady and faint, my head feels weird, I clench my jaw and feel like I'm going to just collapse. I'm sorry I can't offer any advice on how to deal with it as I'm struggling myself. I have just started a 12 week CBT therapy course to help with the health anxiety that I suffer with which the therapist thinks had triggered social/general anxiety. I hate the way I feel. I cry a lot and have convinced myself that I'm going to die. Its just awful, I think wouldn't wish this on anyone. I genuinely wish you well. Feel free to message anytime. x

Hello,

You are certainly not alone, I have had exactly all the symptoms you mention and rest assured that if you had a neurological disorder it wouldn't stop at home and start when you go out.

It is pure and horrible anxiety!
