Hi all, My anxiety is calming down and not so constant but am still stuck with other symptoms like tight head, feeling sick,weak,basically feeling generally unwell.
Are these the last to go am fed up of feeling so ill and not being able to do anything.
Does anyone else feel like this or been stuck at this point?
Thanks
Jo.x

They can last a while. Don't expect them to magically disappear. Some of us anxiety sufferers get skipped heart beats and they can last a while after the anxiety goes away. Anxiety takes a lot outta you. Eat well and go get some air. It'll lift you outta the funk.

This happens to me all the time. I feel as though the last 10% of the anxiety and the symptoms it causes can drag on and on. It's funny; they'll go away when you least expect it...it's a double-edged sword of these symptoms often going away only when we stop checking to see if they're there, or worrying about them. Sometimes all it takes is a moment's indiscretion on the mind's part, and things come rushing back. So it can be a long haul, but you'll make it. Just do your best to stay distracted and concentrate on other things, and the symptoms will slowly subside.
