I am new here, but long time lurker, this forum is such a good resource and I am grateful (FishmanPA you really are amazing, relaxed my mind a couple of times) my anxiety, well hope its anxiety has really started to get to me. I have had a rough time recently, my mum passed away in November last year and I have always had anxiety even as a child, but now the symptoms are too much.

I will list my symptoms, it would just be nice to hear views from people that have the same and how they deal with them/dealt with them:

Dizziness, mostly when I am out and about, but sometimes at home.
lightheaded again outside, but can be at home.

tense muscles in the should and neck on one side, pretty much everyday.

feel like I am in a bubble, or my mind can't process what is going on around me.

Fatigue, I will come home and need sleep, I can only rationalise this as me draining myself due to the above conditions and the concentration it takes from not falling over.

feeling of walking on a bouncy castle.

butterflies.

tension headaches.

Feeling disconnected for my friends, not going out enjoying anything, or enjoying my hobbies.

Brain fog, I can't concentrate on anything.

I do have a lymph node in my neck that is the size of a small pea, I can easily feel it without digging round, it moves when I feel it, this is one the same side as my tense neck. I also have a lump if you call it that, in my nose inside at the top it feels hard, not a polyp, but its been there for a year with no change, but it does worry me.

Its been a very stressful time for me, and I know that could be why, I feel ran down, but I have anxiety going to the doctor, as I don't like medical tests, because the outcome might be sinister and it worries me alot. I do realise, that if it was something sinister, then things would be growing and i would be extremely ill now, and I am making going to the doctors such a huge ordeal.

Sorry for the long post, its just I need to unload, I am fed up of hiding my symptoms. :wall:

In my opinion, all of those symptoms, apart from the neck node and the nose lump can be down to anxiety Tense shoulder and neck muscles can cause dizziness.

In regards to the nose lump, it hasn't grown or changed and I think it could of came about after a really bad cold as I recall that area of my nose being very sore at the time, but this was a year ago. The node, hasn't changed either, but I only noticed it about 10 months ago, its just ashame I am so worried to see the GP, I tried this morning but was told they only had one GP and if my condition was considered an emergency if not then try tomorrow.
