View Full Version : Can you still have physical symptoms of Anxiety even if you dont feel anxious?
Hi all
Just wondering if anyone suffers with their physical symptoms of anxiety even when you dont feel anxious or feel ok? Just interested :)
Hiya
Yes i have had symptoms with out really feeling very anxious. But alot of it can be down to your subconsciousness. Its a very strange illness with alot of ups and downs. The main one i had was chest palps and a strange rash on my neck and chest.
All the best

Yes u can...i get symptoms alot and there are always different which then makes my anxiety worse..vicous circle!! xx
Hi
I sometimes get symptoms yet don't feel anxious. This happened to me only yesterday at work, it was weird. But then I had been eating sweets and wondered if it might be too much sugar as I have read that is bad for people with panic attacks. Then I decided I was over analysing things and just tried to forget it. Just another weird phenomenon in my anxious life lol.
Ken - I too get a weird rash on my neck and chest when I'm anxious - it gets worse the more I focus on it......like the rest of the symptoms!!!! Makes me wish my head had an on/off button.
:D

I had something like this when I started my meds, it was like my body was having a panic attack but my mind wasnt freaked out. very weird indeed.
Hi annie - I was getting anxiety related symtoms for almost a year before I actually ended up with feeling anxious also.
If I'd have known then what I do now, then I would have realised that these were early warning signs (for me at least). I could have acted sooner then and possibly not ended up as bad as I did. Heindsight is a wonderful thing though, so I don't dwell on the what ifs.
Krakers.
hi - i agree with quakers. i have not been on this site for nearly a year - am still on citalopram but in remission re anxiety. i have had a lot of stress in my life recently and started a few weeks ago with tight chest and stomach pains - the physical symptoms are obviously early warning for me too because last few days i have been feeling constantly panicked too but just trying to ride it out!
Thanks annie. I have always wondered this too. I have m.e so have symptoms most days anyway, but am wondering how much of it is anxiety. And as i dont always feel anxious are they symptoms m.e or anxiety!
