How Long?

[DylanR]

Hello
I have recently recovered from a bad spell of health anxiety, im not worrying anymore but i am still feeling some of the symptoms that sparked up when i got anxiety. I have pins and needles in my foot and hand a lot and im slowly recovering from IBS. How long can anxiety symptoms stay after recovering from the actual anxiety itself?

Thanks - Dylan

Hi Dylan,

I can only speak from my own personal experience, but for me symptoms tend to tail off after a few weeks to months. I check less and less frequently and so feel better and better. Exercise and a healthy lifestyle speeds it up. I sometimes have a bit of a relapse for a few days but it does it get better.

you know you're over it when you stop scanning your body and checking for your symptom.
