Aww hun,

it is amazing how anx can cause so many things to our body and our minds, they do all sound anxiety related,

I developed bms..........burning mouth syndrome through my anxiety, it felt like i had scalded my tongue, i had it for months, now i just have the tingling sensation, i like you worried that it was something more serious, when i stopped worrying about it and being so anx, it calmed down.

The other thing that anx causes is probs with your stomach, again this is normal, if you think about it when you're about to do something like a driving test or something similar, its the first place we get the sensations from, fluttering stomach, cramps etc

anxiety causes symptoms that we just wouldn't believe.

If you still worry, i'd go and get a second opinion just to put your mind at rest.

Thanx for that ive seen two or three docs but they were all from the same clinic and two of them were married to each other , i then start to think that they r just siding with each other also they are hoping to move to bigger premises so im now thinking they are trying to save money by not getting any tests done steph xx

my tongue hurts too. it feels like a weird burning or tingling ..

[anxiouselephant]

Can i ask how long have you had this feeling in your tongue for ?

[justbananas]

hmm a few weeks that i've noticed

[anxiouselephant]

Have you any other symptons and do you think yours is anxiety

[justbananas]

yes i've also been extremely dizzy and nauseaus the past few months as well. it got to the point where it was affecting my work and i was staying in a lot as well. i made a deal with myself to try a gym regimen, and to absolutely force myself to ignore the symptoms (even though they've been debilatating) and try to work out and get exercise every day. in doing this, and in accepting that it's anxiety, the dizziness and nausea have been slowly lifting. but they lasted for MONTHS. the tongue thing is relatively new but when these new symptoms come up, i just ignore them now and it takes a long time but the eventually go away. hth. and yes, i know it's anxiety.

when i'm working out, consistently, and very intensely - it eases the symptoms. when i stop and let myself get lazy, they flare up again.

I darnt go out the house in case i get these feelings but the orrible thing is i dont feel safe at home either and i cant be left alone as i freak out coz i think im going to die alone ,im not an exerciser and have lost interest in everything and if i do get absorbed in something and i get one of my feelings then i have to stop wot im doing , and when i try to have relaxing moments and forget the feelings i get them all the more

[justbananas]

try to schedule a walking plan with music, just around your street. can you get xanax or something to keep in your pocket just in case of a panic attack? ask the doc. just having it on me usually prevents panic and anx when being outside. im not an exerciser either, but when i found it was the only way to control these feelings, i learned!
