Hey Guys,
I am new to this site, i hae read lots of posts onb this site but have never written anything.
So here it goes, i am 24year old, and my symptoms began 4-5months ago out of no where. I was diagnised with GAD 2 months ago and am now taking Cipralex. Which appears to be slowly helping. But the last 5 months have been pretty rough, i would do anything to feel "normal" again.
Symptoms
Spaced out (maybe derealization? but i am not sure)
- pretty much all day, but seems to wax and wain throughout the day. It feel like i am just out of it, or feel off
Headaches
- come and go throughout the day, very mild and seem to be all over my head (can be sharp or dull)
Lightheadiness
- have never passed out but sometimes i feel kinda dizzy
L eyelid twitching
- comes and goes and last <30secs
R sided facial "numbness"
- I dont know if i should call this numbness or not, but once and a while my face will feel very off, i can feel it it just feels slightly numb if that makes sense
Blurred vision
- comes and goes
Extremely tight sore neck and trap muscles
R ear tinnitus
Bounding pulse
Feels "hard to breath sometimes"
I guess what i am looking for is just some confirmation that all of this can be from anxiety, and how do i know if anxiety is causing this or something else.
Has anyone else experienced all of these symptoms?
Cheers
