Hey everyone, I've been struggling with health anxiety for several months. I'm sure some of y'all have read some of my other posts and what-not.

I've been having some troubling synptoms that just increase my anxiety levels to the max. For some reason, my arms, specifically my forearms, feel very tight and fatigued. I had other people feel my arms and they do notice how tight they arel. My hands, for some reason, are also shaking and trembling for some reason. The best way I can describe it is that it's like shivering but nowhere near as intense. Focusing on it seems to make it worse. You can really notice it when holding a cup or fork. They've been doing this for five days.

Has anybody else experienced this? I talked to a doctor about it yesterday and he said that elevated stress levels and anxiety can cause it. That made me feel better for a day but the trembling and shaking hasn't stopped.

I agree with doctor and have experienced the shakes myself due to stress and anxiety.

How long do the shakes last for you? I'm glad that this is only an anxiety issue... Bleh it makes me so nervous and upset.

Serenity, how did you manage the shakes and how long would they last for you?
