    my list of symptoms

    hi everyone i am new to this forum but have suffered with anxiety for years. i have constant thoughts i am really ill - heart,brain.lungs etc i have been to the doctors had an ecg which was fine. i was ok for a while and then three weeks ago i woke up with shoulder pain which has now manifested into the following

    chest pain and aches.
    back ache (worse when bending over)
    lightheadedness (on one side) wierd feeling like im going to pass out or something,
    neck ache - seem to be on the bone at the bottom of the neck
    pains in my arm
    fatigue
    jolting awake - just as i am about to doze off i jolt awake and it scares me this could happen between 1 to 10 times (not every night)
    hardly sleeping - lucky if i get 3 hours
    irritable- i feel myself gettin more and more irriatable and short tempered with my wife (i just snap at her and i dont mean too i apologise a few seconds later
    easily started - (even someone kicking a can outside makes me jump)
    constant worrying - my dad had a heart attack at 29 - i dont smoke,drink or do drugs. i am trying to eat a bit more healthily now

    jaw ache - i have jaw awake worse when i wake up when i yawn its a really loud clicking sound

    ache in back when i wake up


    please if anyone has any advise or has been through this . i would be most grateful for your help -i am quite stressed out


    thanks

    Re: my list of symptoms

    Hey there, sorry to hear you haven't been feeling great. Anxiety can manifest itself in all kinds of bodily symptoms, which make you believe you have something wrong with you. I too can write a list like this on all the things that are going on with me right now. It is horrible and scary, and I know how hard it is to believe that its just anxiety doing this.

    Have you spoken to your doctor about your concern's, they might be able to help reassure you.

    Hope you feel better soon

    Re: my list of symptoms

    hey,

    After years of anxiety with no sleeping problems I have started to develop sleep issues over the past 3 months. When I am really anxious I will have major problems getting to sleep and experience jolting awake as you described many times. I often find that when I wake with a jolt my heart is racing. The aching is probably due to your sleeping tensed up.
