Does this happen to anybody else I have not had one day without symtoms for as long as I can remember ? Even when my anxiety was not bad and it was cope able I just ignored symtoms then but they was there everyday can be new different or the same ones repeating ?

Main symtoms that have stayed

Breathing problem that cause nausea and feeling as if I'm about to shut down

Dry lips and hands (never had dry lips of hands before )

Random shooting pains in rib/chest area and deep aches in same places and arms

Muscle twitching

Jelly legs

Dizzyness

Random headaches/migrain

Urgent toilet trips

I will have all kind of symtoms ranging in between these but one of them is always there no matter what normal the breathing it's like a 24 hour thing aswell I don't get a brake is this normal for health anxiety I also suffer other anxiety but not as bad as this accept if I have to go out on my own then I suppose it's the same as health anxiety levels ?

      yeh its fine to take them. it good to take a multi vitamin daily anyway. just gives you what you need incase you are low at any point. children take them especially to help as the grow. Also becuase your taking something good it may have a placebo effect on you and may make you feel better smile x
