Anxiety & Symptoms In the Legs? Posted: 08-17-06 12:47pm
Hey all.
I have been dealing with over-the-top
anxiety for many years now. I was on
zoloft for a little bit and then I got
off, but now I started taking it again
about 3 or 4 weeks ago.
I worry about something happening to
loved-ones and to my health. This summer
has been really hard on the ol'
hypochondria. I have freaked out this
summer thinking I had a brain tumor, lung
cancer, stomach cancer, als and a stroke.
It's been so frustrating.
I do have some physical symptoms that I
wanted to pass by the group to see if this
sounds like some of your experiences.
I have the occational twitches in the
fingers, hands, lefts, and feet.
I get tingly feeling the hands, arms,
shoulders, legs and feet.
Maybe it stems from the fact that I bounce
my legs a lot with nervous energy
throughout the day, but my legs often
times feel heavy, tingly and/or cold.
They don't feel weak; just kinda fatiqued
and heavy.
Is this something that can be linked to
anxiety?
Thanks for the feedback.

I think leg problems can be related to
anxiety and the more you think about it,
the worse it seems to be, at the moment, I
am worrying about my legs aswell, I have
strange feeling in my left leg, its not
numbness, but it feels like the feeling
you get when you have had a sock on and
you take it off (hard to explain), of
course in my mind I am convinced its dvt!
