    I get all these symptoms too. Anxiety is not fun at all.. I've had test after test.. I know I'm sick of it.. Nothing showed but IBS and acid reflux..

      I have severe neck and back pain everyday and was told is from tensing up my muscle from anxiety. But I wonder the same thing. Maybe there's something wrong with my spin.. I suffer from health anxiety and the more I let it get to me the more new symptoms appear.. Its a vicious cycle sad

      I went to see my gp two days ago and he gave me exercises to do for my muscle to help tension but I can't see it helping they don't seem to take it seriously in my eyes my symptoms have really taken over my life for sure

      That's what I've been told. Do you take meds? I take lexapro 10 mg and ativan as needed which helps a lot. I start therapy for my neck and back this week hoping for relief..

      I didn't get relief from them either. I use salon pas gel and heating pad everyday. So I'm hoping and praying the massage therapy helps or I'm gonna explode on my gp..

      I take 20 mg of propanolol twice a day was on 20 but it didn't help. I also take chlorthalidone 25mg once daily and have no racing heart. I deal with neck pain and headaches everyday but was told I have tmj so its causing my neck to tense. Ugh I just wanna be normal again...

      Yes pain can still be there even if you don't feel anxious could be something little your worried at the back of your mind which you are worried about. Iv had constant pain due to anexity the past 4 months one goes and a new one comes along and everytime I get a new one I go docs and get a full on check and everything is fine so it's anexity.

      Hun that's what causes my anxiety is not believing that's its anxiety. Its started 3 yrs ago but with medication it has calmed down though in saying that the past 5vweeks its been there worse than ever. I can't sleep cause when i lay down my heart beats so fast and I feel like i am Goin down a roller coaster. During the day i feel dizzy and light headed and my eyes feel very fuzzy. My back is sore my stomach gets these weird pains. My doctor swear on his career that its health anxiety but with all the test i still dnt believe it. So yes it feels like u wake and and go to sleep with these symptoms. Are u on any medication

      Muscle exercises have not helped me at all. I am taking ativan. That calms me down a bit

      I've never been offered Ativan does that help the pain

      Ativan helps relax you so the pain is less noticeable.. And takes the anxiety away as well.
