Do your anxiety symptoms last for days/weeks?

Hey everyone. I have many similar symptoms you guys have.

Basically I've had issues where I panic about stuff for the past few years. Things like death play on my mind a lot.

A few weeks ago I was suffering with a lump sensation feeling in my throat and it got me all worried, after a few days of this I started to feel nauseous and went into a panic attack as I thought I had throat cancer and was going to die. For the next few days I suffered with a bubbly feeling in my stomach, a nervous sensation that felt strange and also had watery stools every morning for a few days. After a few days of this feeling of uncertainty I had a break down and was in tears thinking my time was up. I went to 2 different doctors and they said I was fine. I had a full blood count and it came back all clear. The day after I got the news I felt amazing. All better... I had a great few days of feelIng normal. Last night the nervous feeling came back and my body felt cold and shaky and my stomach started bubbling again followed by water stools. Today I feel the nervous feeling again but my head feels heavy and I feel tired and achy. I've gone from thinking I have throat cancer to stomach cancer to brain cancer in the space of 2 weeks. I'm not sure if I'm suffering with some kind of health anxiety issues and if the nauseous feeling. Nervous stomach sensation and watery stools is because of this.

Thanks

Hiya. Nicola I feel exactly the same as you have said I suffer with pannic attacks chest pain burning sensations headaches shaking everything nd your not mad cz I feel exactly the same you xx

Im so glad Im not alone

My anxiety can lasts from anything to a few minutes right up to months. If it's triggered by something I generally find I have to wait for whatever has triggered it to pass. Of that doesn't happen it can go on indefinitely.

I do find the length of anxiety can not only make me start to feel ill, but probably due to the stress my body is under I then begin to experience further physical symptoms, which can be very distressing and often adds to the anxiety that was already there.

You say you obsess over chest pain - obsessive anxiety is horrid. Do you have OCC? I only ask because I obsess often with my anxiety and I have also been diagnosed with OCD...I've noticed that the thought processes are similar and my obsession begins to rule me.

Don't worry about how long you are worrying. I don't think there is any right or wrong way to experience anxiety.

So idk how long ago this was posted but, my mother passed away in July in the 9th and.. I have had chest pains since i have been to the ER 2 tines over it both times telling me my heart is fine and that it is more than likely due to anxiety... I sometimes cry cause i am dick of feeling this way and with haveing 3 kids under the age of 4 I have not had the time nor do i know how to properly grieve...m i HAVE yet another dr. Appointment about the pains and though im told everything is fine and probably will be told again they continue to stick around. I have been confronted about going to therapy for PPD and anxiety a couple times now. I just want relief of this feeling.... I finally came across this after looking up a bunch of dtuff on the internet and am hoping i can get some relief talking with you all. How you cope and all... Thanks.

Hi my name is Lauren I was reading yourdtory and found it very interesting because I have the same thing going on with me every day and it does get very tiring and no one will do anything about it ,if you have found anybody that has helped you with it please respond back and let me know.

When i was 16 i had an overdose with caffeine and was scared to die which made me end up having anxiety. 2 months later it went away at first i was taking some prescribed pill but stopped after 3 weeks because i wasnt feeling like my self. Now i am 18 and was worrying about death. And i would panic maybe thats what lead me to have anxiety again. Its been a month and i still panic a lot. Idk if anyone has the symptoms that i have. Sometimes i have diarrhea, on the right side of my stomach i feel like a weird movement and i feel dizzy at times. Is that normal?

Hello,

Sorry I'm super late to reply. To be honest I'm not sure where to start.

I'm 23 and about 5 months ago I got engaged. I quickly jumped into

The wedding planning process. Which I thought would be super fun.

It's been so stressful for me, and with my uncle's unexpected death

myself and my family have been dealing with a lot. One day on a

walk to the gas station my fiancé and I were arguing about some

wedding stuff, I noticed a burning sensation in my chest and I

couldn't breathe, also a pain in my left shoulder, the next morning

I woke up and chest hurt super bad. I thought I was going to have

a heart attack at work.... I had pain shooting down my left arm...

Since I'm terrified of the doctors I didn't go to the doctor for about a

week. She told me I had chest wall pain and gave me medicine.

That eased my mind for a while (about a week) after the meds were

gone it started back up. I was sure I was dieing. I didn't go to ER

for about another week or two.... I started googling my symptoms

which is a terrible thing to do because it some how always leads

to cancer... Anyways when I finally went to the ER

they ran a bunch of test on me and everything came back fine. The

doctor said chest wall pain and sent me home with more meds.

Ihad the chest pains for about 3 months off and on, and acid reflux.

Now I've been dealing a horrible head ache for a little over a

Week that no medicine will shake. I keep thinking I have some sort

cancer... I cry some days a lot and other days I can convince myself

Im okay. I keep thinking I couldn't feel this bad for months without

it being serious (( I find myself scared of weirdest things (like

certain numbers and being alone)

Im sure this all over the place and has many grammar errors..

I'm sorry just wanted to vent to some people who might

understand me.

My symptoms are

1)Chest feels tight

2)Migraine

3)Whenever I try to breath it's like am suffocating

4) short of breath

5) slight pain at the left breast

6)
