Headaches

Claminess

Sweats

Pale skin

Trembling

Disoriented

Dazed

Lights in my eyes

Ears ringing

Ear fullness

Being scared all day

Nightmares

Mind you I'm only 26 and have been checked from head to toe and told this is all anxiety

      I also get the spaced out feeling can't focus or concentrate. Very withdrawn.

      Shortness of breath like I have to keep taking deeps breaths

      Feeling like something wet is on a part of body but when you touch it it's not or like a spot is numb but when you touch it's not.

      Very aware of every sensation

      try not to hyperventilate cause it will cause lightheadedness and chest pain..whenever you feel the need to breathe in hard tell yourself you dont need to as your normal breathing is good enough..dont try the fake yawn thing too..

    My symptoms have been: heart papultations, blurred vision, ear aches, head aches, fatigue, weight loss ( I was 8 and a half stone now I am 7, lost a stone and a half in 2 months) empty minded, strange dreams, aches in my legs and arms. Nice to know I'm not alone! I'm only 18 and don't have anyone to talk to about it really as no one really understands, I've had his since I was 13 it went away and came back about 4-5 months ago. Doctor told me I have social anxiety x

      I was also 8 and a half stone, i dont have scales but i recon im down to around 7.5 now!  Are you taking any meds? I have severe anxiety & depression - also think i have social anxiety too but that I can deal with - or just very very low confidence x

      I was on sertraline for a month took myself off it doctors said it wasn't good I was loosing so much weight. He said if I loose anymore I could end up very poorly in hospital so I need to be careful. My anxiety used to be general but it's a lot more sociable now. I'll be starting therapy in a few weeks xx

      Oh god! Did you find your appetite returned after stopping the meds? I don't know if my loss of appetite is to do with my meds or if its the anxiety. Were you not eating at all? I am having two protein shakes a day - around 1000 calories, i just hope i don't lose anymore! xx
