Hi :-)

Lately I've been getting really bad panic attaches and general anxiety and I've started to notice that when I get really nervous or scared that my wrists starts to ache and my fingers starts tingling. I've never experienced this before apart from when I have woken up from nightmares and I've been terrified. I would wake up and my wrists would be extremely painful. When I've woken up from the nightmares the pain would only last a minute or so and disappear however with the anxiety it sort of stays longer and is not as painful as when I get the nightmares. I've never experienced anxiety before up until the last 2 months when it's just been getting worse by the week so I'm not sure what is "normal" or not but I would just really like to know if anyone experience the same symptoms at all?

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

Hi!

Definitely normal anxiety symptom that I also experience. Almost every morning it feels as if I slept on my hand its in a lot of pain, one day my hand was tingling for 6 hours on & off and I was extremely worried so I ended up talking to a doctor over the phone and they assured me that my GAD was causing this. Nothing to worry about.
