Haha not wrong at all! I pretty much posted all the things I'm worried about on the poll, I'm hoping to see they're common symptoms to ease ALL our mindsThanks for voting!

My anxiety has been so bad for the past 6 weeks, I saw my therapist for the first time yesterday and broke down when he said I'd lost so much weight, I was so sad, I can't believe this anxiety is destroying my body :'(

I had a bit of difficulty swallowing last week because I thought I had throat cancer, so everytime I went to swallow I was scared it would get stuck, to my surprise, it did!
It's fine now

As much as I appreciate the thinking behind this poll it is quite misleading as all of the symptoms you have listed can also be due to 'real' illnesses.
I know you are trying to put peoples minds at rest and yes probably 99% of the time the symptoms are down to anxiety on NMP BUT there is that 1% that may have lots of the symptoms you have listed but actually be really ill and the anxiety may not be causing the symptoms but something that needs medical attention.

If you're feeling fine one day, with no anxiety and all of a sudden you start getting chest pain, then you would know this has nothing to do with your anxiety.
I see what you're saying, but this poll is asking what symptoms to people have with their anxiety, not without it :P
