Think of this as a challenge if you wish (although it's not).
I have lived with anxiety and panic for many years and at times worse than others...for the past year it had been really bad but I'm working on it.
I've had recent egg and bloods which were fine.
As hard as it is to convince myself that everyday the symptoms are just pent up anxiety....here they are.
Dizziness.
Jaw pain
Stabbing pain in the nostrils and face.
Headache
Lower back pain.
Arm pain mostly left arm.
Chest pains
Stiff neck and neck pain
Shooting and dull muscle pains at different times.
Calf and knee pain.
Tingling fingers, hands, feet.
Palpitations, fluttering heart beats, several or more skipped beats, single heavy missed beats, strong and prolonged beats.
Stomach cramps.
Frequent urination, especially when under immediate stress.
Tiredness and weakness.
Unable to sleep for more than a few hours at once.
Difficulty getting to sleep.
Then there's the silly things that I notice like pale finger nails, pale skin during panic, marbled skin with red lines, inability to concentrate, restlessness etc
I'm sure here are others to add which I can't think of immediately but I'm pretty sure on a regular basis that I'm pretty much ready to drop dead any second....it seems to be taking a long time.
In spite of all such bull**it issues that anxiety gives me I do still manage to hold down a decent job and get things done..not as much as I'd like but I will not let it paralyse me.
I hope this list helps some people and please feel free to compare and add to it.
Best wishes to everyone who is fighting anxiety, depression and panic or any combination of such struggles.
