    I totally sympathise. I have had a weak left arm for a week now after I discovered a tremor in my hand. The tremor could have been because I was lacking energy at the time but because I've manifested that there has to be something wrong with me, I've had the arm weakness and the tremor hasn't gone away. Deep down I know it's just anxiety, but the battle is to convince our mind and body to relax and not manifest negative thoughts and fear. Best wishes

    I have been dealing with anxiety off and on for years now but the last year or so it has gotten much worse. I can barely drive now because of the dizziness or just the feeling of being off. Just this morning I woke up with leg weakness and slight headache now my body is in fight or flight mode and I don't know if I'm cold or just shaking from the anxiety. How do I work like this? I can't keep calling out, no more sick time or pto.

    Yeah ive been having anxiety for 3-4years now, started off from when i turned over in bed and something twinged in my chest and it was so painful i thought it was a heart attack, thats when i started to notice my body more, that was 2017 i think, i also was very ill with flu over christmas 2017 aswell and thought i was dying, ever since then i was never the same, 2018 and 19 were just panic attacks and breaks inbetween, but 2020 and 2021, i feel even worse, i just wake up nauseous and panicky, my anxiety has taken over my life and i cant tell whats anxiety or whats potentially a threatning illness anymore, but recently ive been waking up nauseous as i said, some days i cant even eat, my legs feel weak when im overly stressed, i too get that weird burning in my arms and chest aswell and sometimes legs but mainly chest and arms although i dont get it often, i feel detatched like asif im in prison and everything outside isnt real or is a different dimension its so hard to explain, my frame of time is skewed, like when i wake up in the morning, last night felt like 1 month ago and the days feel so long yet so short its very strange, the day will drag on but at the end the day feels short then i sleep and last night felt like an eternity ago, things a month ago feel like a different lifetime ago, but yet things before my anxiety like school feel like its a few years ago even though i left school in 2013 i find it hard to believe its been 8 years.. i also get more and more tense throughout the day and usually im struggling to breathe at night with a tight throat and chest. i do get heart palpitations but not all the time which is strange, usually if i have a full blown panic attack or ring for an ambulance its 120-140bpm but most of the time when im not full blown panic its at like 60-80bpm which worries me because im like these symptoms are a heart problem because my heart rate isnt increasing with my anxiety. its awful it really is 😦 if you need to talk feel free to DM me..

    I've been experiencing the same thing in both arms along with numbness and bad chest pains...I've never had anxiety this bad but for the past few weeks it's really getting to me. People are telling me I'm fine and not to worry but I wouldn't be thinking about it if I couldn't feel it and have to keep telling myself I'm being stupid, even my dr doesn't seem to care.... so here I am seeking comfort from others that might have similar symptoms is it common to feel like this most of the day??

    I too am suffering from this. it started a couple weeks ago. I had been sitting and all of sudden my right foot just went cold and then I had a pain in my leg, went to doctors and they ruled out blood clot but didnt know what was causing it. Then the next day it was my hands and arms that were going cold so rang the drs back and they said if your foot or hands arent turning blue then theres probably nothing to worry about. everyday since, my arms feel like they are being squeezed slightly with a slight burning/ tingling/ pulled muscle feeling. I also get the pain back in my leg which feels like a pulled muscle or dead leg. its soo annoying, I just want to get back to normal but I think ive convinced myself its a circulation issue. I believe this all started after I had heard about potential blood clots from the vaccine (ive not had mine yet) Anxiety sucks
