Despite going to the hospital yesterday and being checked i still think im dying. Infact i know i am. I told the doctor everything and he didnt say much. He said he cannot find any signs of weakness in my muscles. Then i told him the stress i have at home..i have another hospital appointment on friday and im so scared because i know that they will tell me i have an illness and that i am dying.

      But my symptoms are nothing like anxiety ones, they are pointing towards a neurological problem. I do have anxiety, but i believe there is somethig far more serious

    Oh you poor thing. I know how difficult it is but you must remember how powerful anxiety is and how is does indeed produce actual bodily symptoms, just like yours. I have bad anxiety had allsorts of stuff going on and right now have this horrible lump in throat feeling which I've never had before. It's so scary and so real. But you have to try to keep calm and focus on the fact that anxiety can do mad things to you! X

    Te feeling you have is anxiety. Try and and relax and things will subside.I know its hard.

    Try to distract yourself when it comes to mind. Listen to music, eat a sweet 🍬.

    Anxiety wont kill you, its very unpleasant though.

    If you were dying your Dr, Consultant would tell you they have to.

    From the sounds of it you had a DR who listened which is very important. He heard your fears and tried to console you with the truth...you are fine. Xxx

    Stress becomes anxiety and anxiety makes stress even worse, try to calm yourself by slow and deep breaths while walking it out, don't stay still, distract yourself, get busy, do whatever you can think of but just don't ever try to google search your symptoms, never!.

      Not at all. Im convinced there is definitely something as ive not been okay for months. It all started with thinking i had a brain tumour but then i had my eyes tested twice amd they said i was fine, so then i went onto anueysms and neurological diseases. However im now starting think again about brain stem tumours or parkinsons. This is all because my  left arm started to feel off then my left leg, and now the right sode of my fae feels weak and droopy. I also have headaces on the same side. But no matter what doctor i see they keep sending me back home.

      There, you just said it "it all started by thinking" anxiety works that way and in your case it manifested to a higher level of anxiety from prolong worrying, even though your not thinking of it anymore your subconsious do, thats why for some sufferer... anxiety attacks even in their sleep.

      The weak sensation on arms and legs or front tighs I often feel it too, it comes and goes on its own and sometimes stays longer and accompanied with slight sweating, like clammy skin, for me that's one of the signs I'm getting anxious but I don't mind it much not even noticing it going away, ofc at first it freaks me out but later on I keep telling myself "I don't care if it hurts aslong as i can walk, I'm good with it".

      I have headaches of many types, sharp shooting pain like migrain that goes away in a split seconds, random part of my scalp feels something is crawling or hair raising pins and needles, head pressure at the back or forehead that aslo gives me dizzy spells.

      this are just a few of my own symptoms related to yours, if you ask me well I have a lot.

    I feel you.. About a week ago I went to the hospital around 3 AM because of a pounding heart(Which was from me having a panic attack), they took me back instantly because of a pulse rating of 187. They tried everything to lower it and it wasn't working like they expected it too, so they gave me medication by IV to try and relax me and sent me by ambulance to another hospital where I was on a monitor, had 2 ECG'S and blood work. They told my parents that everything was perfect though I had palpitations on the heart monitor which is from my panic attacks so I was sent home after 2 days and I still believe there is something wrong with my heart, I stand up and expect my heart rate to shoot up and it does so that causes more stress and I get so worked up over it, I make myself nauseous and I get really depressed because I fear I'm dieing I wanna believe it's all anxiety but I just can't convince myself..
