      It happens pretty constant. Like in few while i feel fine, then all of a sudden, it started feeling numb or heavy or pins and needles. It doesnt matter if i lie down or seating or standing. Whenever it wants to appear or come up, it does. sad And sometimes i feel numb amd tingling all over my body. Plus sometimes my hands amd feet are cold too. I feel frustrated and no matter how much i try to ignore or divert my mind and think that these are nothing, i find it really hard. sad I did some nerve and muscle test with my neuro but everything went back NORMAL aside from a small radiculopathy in my neck and hips. But not a big deal as per my neurologist said. Still im wonderimg why im feeling this way. Can i ask what are your other symptoms related to anxiety??

      Are those meds for anxiety?? Sadly, i havent checked and see any psychiatrist yet after all this time because im thinking like im really sick and this is not just in my mind. sad But yeah, i decided to see one on January with a friend. Hopefully it will help me seeing a psychia. Ive been struggling for years now and went to alot of specialits amd doctors, did lots of blood tests amd imaging and most of them came back normal. Though i was diagnosed with PACS and PVC of cardio and put me in Ivabradine 5mg and i have GERD and IBS too. sad

      Yeah it’s not nice at all I’ve struggled for years also and these last 3 months been really bad 😥 I’m hoping the venlafaxine kicks in soon I’ve been on it nearly 2 weeks on 75mg so trying to stay sane is the hardest thing I lie around in bed and get all agitated I take lorazepam for bad spells and quatiapine at night for sleep.

      I used to normally just have the occasional bad day but have been stressed and really anxious lately it’s not nice when you can’t see the end of the tunnel especially feeling like this

      Do you get upset stomach too and high heart rate?? Sometimes i can feel my heart beating at my back even at rest or im lying down. sad And feel really dizzy and weak. I cant even eat properly unlike before because i feel dizzy whem im eating. I dont know if this is still anxiety related or what. sad But im not losing hope that things will get better. If this is really in our minds, then someday somehow these stuffs will completely go. Im staying positive somehow though its hard. And i know u can too.. *hugs*

      Yeah I feel my heart beating through everything I think everyone with anxiety does it’s horrible I always think I’m dieing and that something is wrong with me I think it’s called health anxiety if I’m correct . Feel free to personal message me if you want to chat 😊
