    I hate when doctors say it’s all in your head. How do they know? Only you know. I am absolutely sure you are feeling those things because with stress and anxiety, there are many many different sensations it can cause. I’ve had stress and anxiety for many years and I’ve heard people say they have all kinds of symptoms and I’ve experienced them as well. The cold patches, The racing heart, the vibrations, pressure in the head I have had plus many others.

    If you’ve had a physical exam and everything comes out normal then there’s a good chance all of those are related to some kind of stress and anxiety going on in your life. When those sensations are due to anxiety and stress they are not harmful even though they feel weird.

    if it’s getting out of hand and you are really struggling, you could also see a neurologist who could definitely tell you if there is or is not something to be concerned about. if you want to try and reduce your anxiety and see if these sensations settle down, you could also speak with a counselor or therapist about how to manage the anxiety.

    maybe there’s something going on in your life that’s causing you a great deal of stress?

    I hope you feel better and these sensations settle down for you. Feel free to private message me anytime.

    Hello Shane,

    I often get that feeling of wet patches on my legs, I even wipe them with my hand, thinking I must have dropped some water on them but no, they are completely dry.

    I have also had the vibrations, in fact I think I have had every possible symptom that exists.

    I think your doctor is not very good at explaining things, by "all in your head" I don't think he/she means you are making it up, but rather that your head/brain/ thoughts/anxiety are creating the symptoms. The symptoms are deffo there.

    I would ask for help with the anxiety. Have you had any therapy? medication?
