This is a great list of symptoms.....I thought i had a terminal illness and that these symtpms i was having was becasue of that but new i had anxiety but didn't think my symtoms could just be that......thanks for posting and would like to talk to anyone about symptoms if possible..

ryan

wow thats a lot of symptoms there ive had quiet a few! like cold hands and feet tingling in my face crawling sensation on my face shooting pains down my arms and legs and even slight cramps plus sweating needing to get out ov situations quickly etc its a awfull thing i was convinced i had ms for a while as well its crazy caca! the really scarey thing for me is when i dont feel and anxiety some of my symptoms will happen i didnt know this could happen kicking of a panic attack its scarey.

I too have the crawling in the face and tingling in my hands, feet and face. I also have trouble getting a deep breath or feel like i am always trying to take deep breaths during the day or yawning alot to get a good gasp of air. I also can't sleep at night cause when I lay down and close my eyes i get this wierd feeling and jolt up like i was falling. I don't take meds but i should. I need to talk to a therapist also and get some things off my chest which i think might help. I have way more symptoms but those are the ones that bug me the most and scare me. I think drinking alcohol alot might have something to do with it but im not for sure. I don't think im a depressed person but am not where i really want to be in life right now but am getting there. That could also be the reason. This is a crazy disorder and really would like to get it fixed. Especially the head games I play with my self in a sense of always thinking I have a disease. like if i hear a cancer blog on the radio i start to panic and turn the station or if i hear about a death or anything dramatic I start to think i don't want to die, etc and it goes on everyday. thanks for listening to me ramble. I apologize.

yeah im on propanalol 40mg 3 times a day and that gives me bad side effects aswell its got to the point that i dont know whats a side effect of the drugs and whats a anxiety symptom! as some of the symptoms are the same its quiet awful at the min every little tingle or pain and im thinking in a downward spiral about possible serious conditions/diseases etc i also have high blood pressure and my anxiety loves to feed of this aswell i really am sick of the whole thing lately sorry for ranting.

I just have to say that I have every single symptom listed!!! I've had most of these for 10 years. I am fricken sick and tired of this crap!!!!!!!! You know your friends and family don't understand and constantly fluff you off by saying "oh stop, it's all in your head" OMG people, how many times have we heard this??? Then we feel like we are alone in our own little messed up worlds because no one around us can relate. I am so glad there are so many others out there with the same problems I have. I hate feeling so different, I look at others and wish I could be "normal" like them. I take Xanax almost daily, and I guess it helps, but like the rest of you I'm sure, I find myself worried that the side effects of that, and EVERY OTHER FRICKEN DRUG< SPRAY< CREAM< FRICKEN EVEN FOOD AND DRINK, etc etc etc may make me worse off in the long run. I've gotten so bad at times that I'm afraid to eat anything. Always fricken afraid. Gosh this sucks doesn't it? Anyway, I recently started seeing a therapist, and it does seem to be helping a little so I definately reccomend it. I don't have health insurance(because I can't hold down a job, OR DRIVE without panicing dammit) but the therapy is free through the state. anyhoo, I pray alot, sometimes all day, every day, it does help honestly, I found this book one day on the ground, a sign from God I'm sure, it's called The Word for your every need its by harrison house. It quotes scriptural promises from God and it will help you. There is even a section on anxiety, and get this people, THAT WAS THE ONLY PAGE WITH THE CORNER TURNED!!!! I know God wanted me to find help with this book. Um, I'm just telling you guys what helps me in hopes you can get some relief from me, since I've been dealing with this for so many years. Oh, when you start to feel a little wierd, you know what I mean guys, go to the bathroom, get a washcloth and run in under cold water, then keep wiping your face and back of neck with it. It works, something about doing that calms me, not sure why. Also, things as simple as reminding yourself there is nothing seriously wrong with you, and believe me there isn't, actually works. YOu don't know how many damn times I've had that stupid phone in my hand just ready to dial 911, omg you know what I mean don't you, but I never do, and I'm still here guys. You must listen to me about that, it ALWAYS ALWAYS passes. I still have to convince myself of these things, it's not always easy, but, stop concentrating on these "symptoms" okay? Try to find something to do to distract your thinking, call someone and chit chat, writing works great, like journal type stuff, do crossword or wordsearch puzzles, knit, draw, color, go for a walk, clean your room/house, do anything but dwell on your thoughts please. It may take a little bit but before you know it you will forget all about your anxiety and it will pass. Remember, I stuggle with this every day of my life, but I am beating it with the help of all of the above things combined. Our brains need to be filled with other things so we can push our delusional thoughts out. I still have problems driving so if anyone has any input on that let me know please. I hope to God I help some of you, I would love to know if I have. Please post. God bless you and remember, pray pray pray, and if you don't believe, start , because God is the answer to everything, and get that book guys, seriously. K, RELAX, and try to have a sense of humor about things, it seems to help to be able to laugh about it sometimes. Because, guys, it really is ridiculous to know that our habits of thinking is what causes this. Oh, and try to check out Joel Osteen on Sunday mornings, or read his books, or Joyce Meyer. Good luck, practice some of the things I've suggested and CHILL and LAUGH!!!!!

If you would like to reply to anything I wrote in my above post, please send me a private message, thanks!!! God Bless

i have been having trouble lately falling asleep. my eyes want to close but i get that light headed feeling and tingling in my hands and feet and jolt up before falling asleep. that panics me and i constantly think about it now and it keeps happening. i still have not went and got meds or gone to a therapist yet but think that will help.

When i open my eyes back up i get the feeling like the tightning of the throat and blurred vision and lightheaded and always taking deep breaths. Can this happen every time i am going to sleep if I don't get meds or help?

this is a great post!

but i have a silly question...
are these symptoms only when your having a panic attack?

for the past 3 days i've been feeling really nauseous (sp?) even when im not having a full out attack. i dont know if its anxiety or something else?

hey i just wanted to say thanks cause i have panic attacks and freak my self out and have became a hypracondriact since my panic attacks worrying if i was gonna have another one and when i see this it helps me calm down thanks!=]

I also have anxiety GAD (generalized anxiety disorder 24/7). I have never had a panic attack, thank goodness. The trembling inside, uncontrollable crying spells, insomnia, depression, fatigue, sooo weak, feeling of losing my mind, etc. is what I am experiencing. I feel so sorry for my husband. When I do fall asleep, I often wake up sobbing and trembling! He holds me very tight and tells me we will get the help I need. It helps so much to have a supportive husband, but then it also makes me feel guilty, because he has to get up and go to work at 5:30 the next morning. I have always worked, but recently had to quit my job after 14 years of employment there. I have become pretty much home-bound and I do not trust myself to drive. My husband and daughter have to take me to my doctor appointments. I have tried almost every antidepressant/anxiety medication there is and nothing seems to help or will make my symptoms worse. I am now seeing an acupuncture therapist. I have only had one visit - 5 to go. I hope this works - especially for my husband. I too, fear I have some kind of debilitating disease. I have heard of so many misdiagnosed cases!

Hi,

First time post after comming across this website while searching for symtoms that stress can cause.

I went to my doctors a month ago as one night as i went to go asleep i couldnt as my muscels kept jumping and twitching!.

A month on, and no change! Its sometimes worse than others, But always there. I have another appointment at the end of the month But in the mean time can anyone tell me if this is stress?
am so worried as im only 22 and i dont really think iv been that stresed out to cause something like this!

A tingeling feeling in my right leg always, sometimes it keeps me awake.
My left hand is always shakey.
My head and neck feel like they have soo much pressure on them its unreal.. really starting to ache!
And my muscels twitch all the time, You cant notice it.. But i can feel it and it is sometimes stopping me from sleeping...

Can anyone help Please,

THANKYOU !!!

Hi, these symptoms really help me feel better because over the past 2 months I have had constant breathing difficulties, day and night, to the point where i feel like i have to concentrate on my breathing all the time. I always feel shortness of breath and my doctor says there is nothing in my x-rays and my lungs are clear. I went on some other site where people were saying this will never go away, and now i dont sleep at night and just sit there scared thinking this is what i have to go through every single day. I have always had trouble sleeping and i work really hard in school but i was normally a happy person, until this happened.
Can someone plz tell me if they had the same symptoms and that they went away because i really need to hear that. Thanks.

Thanks for posting this. I've had anxiety for awhile now but lately it's been getting really bad. I'm having worse and worse anxiety attacks. I've had so many of the symptoms you posted and no matter how hard I try to tell myself it's "all in my head" it never helps. I haven't seeked treatment because I thought I could handle it and it's not something I'm comfortable discussing, it's like I'm embarassed by it but given the severity of some recent panic attacks I think I'll just have to get over that and finally get some professional help. Your list is helpful though, it is reassuring to know I'm not the only one who feels these things!

what about sweatin from ur hands that are sometimes cold? feet too.

i get this everyday now from having panics.

sometimesi just get it from outta no were.

^ I get that too when I am having a panic attack



That is exactly like me,went to the hospital yesterday and got pills for an infection, saw a leaflet about heart defects in the hospital and started to get the "symptoms", its the same with medical students, they have to read diseases out of books and start feeling "symptoms" of rare diseases.

When I am having a panic attack my right leg starts to shake, I can control the leg shaking and I get tightness in my chest and start to sweat and I have cold palms and tingly face and hands (I don't know why my feet don't go numb as well)
I start also to scratch up my arm, My chest feels really light and my heart feels like its fluttering but its not,its like butterflies in your stomach but I feel it in my chest, it sometimes goes out of beat. I then wory about dying of a heart condition and it goes in a vicious circle and I feel like I can't relax otherwise I will die, I often sit forward instead of back and I feel the need to sit down.
I often feel better when I talk it out to someone

I get a tickling sensation exactly like the ones you get while riding a rollercoaster or go over a sudden hill in a car at odd times. I can be walking, sitting, lying down, working, driving. Anytime, anywhere a tickling sensation in my stomach can come on and stop me in my tracks. It's gotten more frequent over the years to the point that now it's effecting everything I do. The other day it took me forever to get to work because I could not drive over 20mph and kept slamming on the breaks.

Hi iv had gad for about a year now and i get really worried that when my tension in my neck and shoulders gets really bad that I might faint from the pressure. I never have yet but im just looking for reassurance.

Armarny.

Thank you this helped calm my fears!! I have light flashes in my eyes and sensitive to light, trouble sleeping, tingling hands and fingers, and a constant fear of dying. I am getting a MRI next week and think I might have a brain tumor or MS and after reading this I am relieved a little. Thank you for posting this. I have most of the symptoms!!!
Thanks again!!
