Can this really be anxiety?

Posted , 7 users are following.

Hello, I have not been feeling well over the past few weeks and been to see my Gp several times with blood work coming back normal.

He's pointing to anxiety but that's hard for me to grasp. I'm feeling weak and sometimes feel like I'm going to faint, also legs feel like rubber. Anyone else have these physical symptoms? I do tend to worry a lot especially about my health, googling my symptoms.

    Does anyone feel very weak and feel like your body is shutting down? I often experience this after certain meals or exercise....very scared! I have to sit down and sometimes will take 1-2 hours to pass.

I get so weak feeling and have to sit down for it to pass it feels kind of like when u haven't eaten in a while and your overly hungry I get a sweaty feeling and feel almost like I'm going to faint but I never have. It's so scary and makes me feel like somwthing more is wrong. I also google alot all day long trying to make myself feel better but it always makes me worse. It's been 5 months of this and I can't see an endsad
