Neurological anxiety symptoms

Posted , 12 users are following.

I have severe health anxiety and I'm going through a bad time right now! My question is does anybody get tremors? Numbness? Tingling, pins and needles, sore muscles, spasms? Hot sensations? Electric shock? My health anxiety has me thinking it's something serious and I have a mental breakdown just about everyday over it! Please tell me I'm not alone! I notice the tremors when I'm trying to sleep and when I first wake up! It feels like my body is vibrating!

      I was in the ER two days ago because I felt awful, muscle aches, no appetite, upset stomach! They did blood work everything clear! Yes I get lightheaded kinda like the room is spinning or I'm moving even when I'm not! I notice my symptoms the most when I'm being very still which drives me crazy because I'm so tired but I can't sleep! I just started celexa 3 day so ago! I get some weird/scary neurological symptoms and mixing that with a hypochondriac is a disaster! IM glad I'm not alone!

      Mine used to be all the time for awhile!! Or if I get up to quickly! Try to ignore it because if you don't it will be worse and don't google your symptoms it's my worst enemy

      Can my symptoms be anxiety? I have a hard time believing it can be, but I see a lot of people struggle with it!

      I feel the same I went through the brain aneurysm thing a couple weeks ago and I went to the eye doctor because I got so frazzled by it! Now it's like neurological symptoms that make me think I have ms or Parkinson's disease or something! I was almost asleep earlier and something jerked me awake and it scared me to death! Your exactly the same as me! Just know we're not alone!

      Tension is the biggest reason I'm sure! I'm so uptight I will be sitting and I'll finally relax and then wonder how long I had been tensed up like that! I used to get tension headaches all the time! I know dizziness is one of the scariest anxiety symptoms but it's so common

      Yes mine has been like that lately and I think I've come down with some type of virus and that always exasberates anxiety! Calm down and stop thinking about it for a minute! Do you live with anyone? Call a friend!

The just tell me they are tired of listening to me complain all the time bc they have no idea what its like to feel or go through what we do😢😢 im sure everyone of us would choose to feel normal and not have to live like this its debilitating

      I feelike i have a virus bit im not sure. My period is also really bad and its just starting and i do have alot of tension in my neck which is causing alot of pain so im not sure if that causes dizziness

      Totally, I also live with my husband and he doesn't understand and neither does my mom! I am a daddy's girl so my dad is a little more patient with me! Most people don't understand unless they have been there! I had a nice long talk with a cousin of mine who has hypochondria as well and it really helped me! I wish we could talk somehow a little easier than getting on this forum!

      Everything you say feels like it's coming out of my mouth. I get it all totally.glad there's others like me so I don't think I'm med but so sad u all have to feel this hell. I have every symptom but also agree dizziness isn't my main only if I don't eat or sleep enough. Are you on meds for depression believe this can cause dizziness.doc would know better but please keep talking to people who relate to how ur feeling??
