Hi there, I would if you could all list your physical symptoms

[Natural Mystic]

I know that most are probably listing there's in differing threads but I'd find it very helpful if folk could list their own symptoms.

Many thanks

[Malton Seadog]

Fast heartbeat.
Nausea (never actually being sick though).
Hot flushes.

That's about the only physical symptoms I suffer with. I sometimes shake when the anxiety is over, which is the adrenaline levels returning to normal I believe.

feel like a wave is coming over me
shaky
feel sick
find it harder to swallow

That sounds like me, I could have written this post myself.

What do you mean by ectopics though

[Cathy V]

Hi there, ectopics are skipped/missed heartbeats...a pause between beats, and sometimes a fluttery feeling in the heart. It all comes under the umbrella of palitations really. Alot of people think palps are just regular fast heartbeats, but the trerm also includes these missed beats etc.

They are also my main anx symptom, that and the feeling i can tbreath too well (but that could be down to the meds!

[bluewoman]

hi just wanted to let you know there is a good thread on this under the symptoms category. it always helps me too to see that other people are going through the same thing. dizziness and lightheaded are my worst and the ones that i for some reason cannot accept as anxiety!!
