Q: Anxiety & Symptoms In the Legs?

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!
