Do your anxiety symptoms last for days/weeks?
Posted , 224 users are following.
My physical symptoms of anxiety seem to never go away 😟 does anyone else have the same thing and is this normal? I'm sick of it and because it's always here I think there definately is something wrong with me! It's horrible living like this.
Also, when you start to obsess with one symptom (me chest pain mainly breast) I feel like it's actually something serious and its like I'm seeing more symptoms of it being serious. It's hard to describe but if you obsess that much always lookin etc if it possibly for you to make up new physical symptoms in your head?? I'm making myself go mad. Want my pain to
Go away and it won't which makes me more anxious.
Thanks for reading, Nicola xx

I'm 16 and have been feeling this way for a few days now. I've had the same symptoms a while back, but back then they were much worse. I had pain in my chest and back. It felt like my bones were breaking. I ended up going to the ER and they just told me it was Anxiety and Depression. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Here I am a few months later and it's happening again, except the pain. My heart keeps racing and I don't know why. I haven't slept well in a few days, I haven't slept at all last night. It's weird because I have been drinking a lot of water lately.

Hi I am new to this all too .I get the same pain in my chest in my right breast and my head tells me there is something really bad wrong I is hard to stop thinking about it as you just battle with your head I sometimes end up at the doctors twice a week and I have had every test under the sun I think the doctor thinks I am nuts they put me on Prozac which I am day 32 I have felt alot better and am also on Clonazepam which is a very low dose if I a really bad I take one but sometimes it doesn't work my life has turned upside down because of this anxiety I find sometimes I can't drive as I get very shaky and scared I have had this for two years now and the only reason I believe I got anxiety is because I became very unwell and doctors didn't know what was wrong until they did a pregnancy test and found out i was pregnant went for a scan and they told me my baby had died at the age of ten weeks so they were unsure how long the baby was died inside of me I went through hell and back didn't get treated at the hospital very well I found out in October and they didn't remove the baby until December and I got very sick which now I suffer from anxiety real bad some days I have had a racing heart for 4 days now I find for me as a female my anxiety gets worse after my period for some reason but doctors don't understand it does any other female out there find this too or is it just all in my Head

Hi how are you feeling. My panic attacks just started a few months ago. I'm going thru menopause too and can't take anything for it my body kicks it out. I'm taking xanax and it seems to help. Have been in hospital because of the first one I thought I was having a heart attack. Been to 5 docs and all they want to do is put me on more pills. I want my life back too. I have drove about 8 tim3a in a year. This menopause thing has been going on for years. So ready for this All to be over. Trusti,g God for answers. Cause docs just look at you like a nut. Hugs

I have anxiety from time to time from this damn menopause. Right now it seems like more depression than anxiety. One day crying like a baby and the next happy???? I went back to work after 4 months of not being able to leave my house and had to have someone home with me at all times. I see two psychotherapists and they've helped me a lot. I think it' s just going to have to take it's course and god knows how long that will take Lol.I'm so over it!! Antidepressants did not help they made me more anxious. My tummy was very nervous from the anxiety so I take Librax for that and it helps with tummy and anxiety. It takes the edge off, although somedays i feel very aggitated and impatienat.

My started about 2 months ago. I smoked some weed and i started feeling real bad. I thought i was having a heart attack. My left hand was cold, my left foot was cold, i was lightheaded/felt like i was gonna pass out. I couldn't get warm for nothing. I went to the hospital and when i felt better i went home i wasn't actually seen by the doctor. They put an ekg on me and said it was fine while i was waiting in the waiting room. So like i said, when i felt better i left. 3 days later it hit me again. I went to the er 6 or 7 times because i felt like i was dying. I was having electric shock when i woyld try to go to sleep. I lost my appetite, i was scared to be alone. I told the doctors it happened when i smoked some weed. They ran blood test xray and a brain scan and said nothing seriously was wrong with me. I work and it's days that i have to force myself to get up for work. My dr have me taking paxil and xanax and I'm suppose to start seeing a therapist. I haven't felt my normal self for to months. I like to go out and haven't been able to. I just wanna run away.

The first time I ever had a panic attack was after I smoked as well, and I was a religous weed smoker. Like, 4 to 5 times a day for about 15 years before I ever had a problem. Now I can't touch it and I haven't for almost 2 years. It's crapplebees I know, therapy and meds will help you tremendously

My symptoms are the same way. I feel like it's hard to swallow and it feels like a lump. I have had a lot of test done. I hate living like this.

Dear friends
I see this discussion was started 3 years ago.
I just now read the posts and i would like to share my suffer .my story started maybe 4-5 years ago with strang feeling in my budy. Muscle pain all over . Dizzines. Feel cant control my feet while walking. Fog brain. I had all those symptoms for more then a month and throw that time i visited many doctors and done all teats specially brain and spine mri and all gave normal. And since then till now i suffer from that once and twice a year and symptoms last for atleast month.now till now i dont know if its anxiety or something else. No doctor till now could conferm anything. Now for last 2 month iam suffering from similar symptoms of before but plus nausea most of the time. Sever fatigue. Pains in head that come in diffrent places for seconds and disapear. Dizzines mostly when walking i start to have pressure in my back head and sometimes front and i cant walk alot. Sometimes i feel i cant think or concentrate. Many different symptoms . Bit some days passed I didn't feel nothing or less symptoms. For me i read that anxiety is due to something specific. But for me i cant put my hand on what it would be thats if this is anxiety. I must admit since my father passed away in 2010 from cancer since then i feel any pain that its cancer or it will kill me till i test it and then jump to another like a loop that never ends. Second i work shifts so i never sleep at night cz my sleeping became upside down and life style is bad. I worry alot . Now pls tell me can all this be anxiety. Iam 40 now and i feel iam 80 of pain i have..iam suffering so bad these day i need someone to tell me what is this
