Re: Carotid IMT ultrasound test
Indeed, your symptoms can be the consequence of anxiety, particularly in the presence of tests that have ruled out cardiopathology. As I've stated on the Heart Palpitations Forum, people are trained from a very early age to equate physical symptoms with physical disease. This is not actually the case and yet the influence can be overwhelming to the extent that many persons defy all evidence to the contrary, regardless of its accuracy and source. Somatic features of anxiety disorder can be variable, sometimes elevated enough to cause certain types of paralysis or other transient conditions. Anxiety can impose very extensive stress upon the body and its senses and is the consequence of repeated or chronic exposure to stressors that perpetuate stress.
You're going to be fine.
