Does anyone else have physical anxiety symptoms 24/7

Hi lisa

all I can say is you will get better and you have to believe what the doctors say to you. I was convinced I had a serious illness  after numerous tests I got the all clear . I couldn't believe anxiety could do this to a person, but it does. I had to go on citalopram for six months to get better. You will get there and it will pass your brain is just missing serotonin..x

Yes yes and yes. It's so scary. I always have some physical symptom, none are painful just annoying and scary. I don't get how anxiety can cause it, but it can. Even when I don't have anxious thoughts, I have the pysical symptoms. In my opinion it is the worst part of anxiety 

Wow I just saw that you posted this over a year ago. I had no clue. I hope you've got much better since then. Sorry for the super late reply I thought this was a recent post

Meteor i just made a post about this - ive had my symptoms 2 years now. Really gets me down and does my head in. 24/7 i have chest pain on the left side of my body, i also get random pains over my legs, arms , shakey feeling all the time and anything new that continues to "hurt" i think is a new issue and i'm going to die.

Ive had loads of heart tests and blood tests all negative.

I also have a dull pain in my chest area which i think is acid from the anexity feeling so its a circle that just goes around and around for me.

Are you sure it's just physical anciety? I have all the symptoms you have plus some. It has taken a very long time to get anwsers in my case. In fact I won't have a difinitive anwser until April 17th after yet another set of tests (MRI & EEG) The "Internal shaking" you describe sound like tremors. I have had them for almost 8 years now am on my 3rd neurologist. We are lookining into Parkinson's as the problem. I don't know your age but mine started at about age 45. The problem I have found with getting a diagnosis on this is health care professionals always want to treat symptoms seperately (At least here in the US) My first neurologist tried to say seizures, My second, Migraines. Both came to this conclusion by just talking to me for an hour. To believe you can do that is just sheer arrogance on their parts. If you are getting no satisfaction from your physisian don't be afrais to disagree. If I haden't I would still be getting prescriptions (of which I have had over 50 that did nothing to help my condition).

 Anyway don't just sit back and let the health care professionals and write scripts all day disagree if you think they are wrong. You won't make friends but you might get a better diagnosis.

Hi there ive suffered anxiety since december when my dad died suddenly out of the blue. I have physical symptoms everyday all day long, mine are dizzyness, racing heartbeat to so slow i think its going to stop, tension headaches , butterflys in tummy ,tight neck , tight shoulders , blurry vision , cant relax , trembling , muscle spasms all over my body u name a symptom ive got it. I was taking mirtazapine but then got put on venaflaxine which sent me into a manic episode which then had me calling 111 who then sent an ambulance to me , then social services got involved! Im no better than i was and am being weaned off diazepam , the diazepam helps for a while . I really want to start taking mirtazapine again as i was actually getting better on them but ive now developed a fear of side effects so am to scared to take anything!! Its a vicious circle and i dont help myself as im a big googler so i convince my self i have every terrible illness going!!! Its a long and hard road but hopefully we will all get to the end of it soon :-) . I have 4 children and i need to sort myself out asap as sooner or later it will start effecting them and i dont want that x

Hi All,

I feel your pain I've struggled with mild anxiety for years and could control it somewhat but over the last year it is uncontrolled and getting worse. Actually i started having erectile dysfunction on and off recently so that is a little frustrating.

For me allot of my symptoms are

Heart racing

Lump in throat

pulsating ear

trouble relaxing

very emotional/sensitive

jumpy or easily scared

panicky

lack of sexual drive or libido

difficulty focusing

social anxiety

reduced strength physical activity

head aches

I'm not going to see a doctor to get some help. I know... I know ... I should have went a long time ago but it can be difficult to admit your weaknesses sometimes.

I just wanted to share my experience and wish everyone a healthier life. I'll post further with how things go so maybe it can help someone else m.

Cortisol levels from constant attacks are very draining. Ubiqinol co enyme q10. Follow the bottle start at the lowest level 50mg i think. Your body makes it butt it gets depleted with meds and stress and is extremly helpful for the body to stabilize. A protein bar dueing the day around three is massively useful as well. It amazing how a little vitamin oill is so useful but it is.

Hi, I've been experiencing what my doctors describe as anxiety for four months now. It all started after a massive attack in the cinema which was completely out of the blue. It's the physical symptoms that are getting to me- headaches, chest pain, weakness in hands, eye floaters, second guessing my vision, funny taste in my mouth from time to time, palpitations and a recurring feeling of dizziness and just feeling not really present. It got better after 3 months but never really left and now it's back. I have a lot going on in my life- clise family illness, separating from my wife and moving apart, meaning I don't see my son more than twice a week and I have come through two years of an awful lot of sustained stress and worry to do with money and property as well as a disintegrating relationship. I just can't help thinking that despite all the things I've read and my context that it is anxiety BUT any instance of the symptoms just makes me think I have something life threatening or degenerative. Life is hell. I just can't seem to get on top of it. I've tried mindfulness, cbt and am having weekly psychotherapy and taking propanol but nothing seems to get on top of it. I'm wary of the side effects associated with citalopram. Reading this thread has helped me feel better today, seeing the similarities. Is there anything else anyone can recommend, too many time I feel like my life is falling apart?

Hi meteor63,

I know it has been awhile since you posted but I was just wondering how have you been doing?hope you'remember doing better..I'm just wondering cause I'm having some of the symptoms you're having now so I'm just thinkingoing if you could share your experience. .thanks

Hello, i have been having symptoms 24/7 since November. But now my legs are getting swollen and my arms feel stiff, can this happen? I've gone to the cardiologist they say my heart is fine. This is terrible!

i feel like that almost all the time. it s been 6 years since my last crisis. i am currently on my fisrt week on medication and i have seen some progress but usually weekends are hard cuz im home all the time i barely get out of the house. i work during weekdays and even though its difficult to concentrate at least it keeps me less anxious after i get home i just take a bath and go to sleep.
