I have read a lot of your symptoms and it gives me a relief that im not alone in this but I am all saddened that you guys have to go through what I go through as well. I have been dealing with anxiety since 2014 and boy has it been a battle. Tbh I was doing much better between 2015 and early 2021 but since ive been on my weight loss journey everything just went down hill. I have to call the ambulance sometimes when I am not feeling okay to just get a ecg hooked up to me.. smh ive been to different doctors including the emergency room all for them to tell me im okay and it is just anxiety. I feel chest pains, extreme acid reflux smh I cant sleep at night I dont remember the last time I had a goodnights rest, I get cold hands and feet, my head feels fuzzy... sometimes im hot as hell and sometimes in really cold. the good news is I went from 420 to 348 in a couples months and I think my body is trying to adjust drastically I may not be eating correctly but im definitely eating less and trying to exercise. I recently went to a chiropractor because of what I heard and it said it can somewhat release stress it worked for like a day and then I was one of those people 15-20% of people that got a toxic release I was sick for days and tbh I havent felt the same since then... my acid reflux affects me anytime especially at night where I cant sleep. it affects my relationship with my family and including my girlfriend I need help and I dont know where else to turn smh I have to wait a long time to get a counselor and it is really messing with me so please I cant keep living like this anyone can help me in anyway?

    Hi there, Ive felt the same for 3 months now and my doctor says im okay apart from my arthritis. Its good to start therapy i also had to wait a while to get a specialist to speak too. Just thought id let you know i feel the same and everyday is hard 😦 I would suggest therapy, meditation and breathing exercising, medication if this isn't working for you. I know the symptoms are so physical which is awful because im constantly thinking something is seriously wrong. Things also take time which i cant wrap my head around i want to feel okay straight away but saddly that is not the case. Take each day at a time. If you are in the UK i would suggest Vitaminds you can refer yourself on the website. This is what im currently doing. Take care

    I sympathize with you. This anxiety-hypochondria stuff I deal with, is literally destroying who i want and who I used to be. I've suffered with this since I was a teen, I'm in my late 20's now with little to no improvement.

    I have had 4 ekgs in this year so far. I can get acid reflux and my first go-to thought is a heart attack. It isn't ruining my relationship but it is difficult for me because he does not understand what its like for me, so he reassures me that im okay and tells me i'm paranoid. Of course i know i'm paranoid, I'm not stupid to think that I'm not. It doesn't matter because at certain times I think and worry that something is wrong. It is destroying my life and happiness. I just want to be normal and feel normal. I have no real remedies to help you, considering I cant help myself but at this point i'm just trying to not care. And that's impossible.I wonder, why do you think you have these problems? I wonder if there's any relatable reason. I have my theories where this anxiety stems from me.
