Hi all,
I know I have been posting quite a lot lately about 'heart' symptoms but I am getting quite worried about my symptoms and I dont know what to do anymore. I have spoken to my GP about them and he is putting them down to another anxiety symptom but I am not so sure.... Does anyone else feel like every symptom they get now is said to be 'Anxiety'?
I have always suffered form palpitations, missed heart beats etc since my anxiety began almost 5 yrs ago. I have had about 6 ECG's and a 24 hr test last year... all fine. Anyway, since Decmeber last year my symptoms have changed a little.....
First it was a weird taste in my mouth.... I worried myself sick it was epilepsy or soemthing wrong with my brain (MRI scan of brain last year was normal). I do still have the tastes but they are not as bad as they were.
Secondly, I keep getting funny sensations in my head/neck and these are particularly on the right side of my head, which is the side I have TMJ ( jaw problems). Its kind of like static in my head or I here little crackling noises in my head. I am not sure if these are just muscular problems as I know when I move my neck around I do hear grating noises...
Thirdly, I have been experiencing hot flashes around my body and these can be anywhere.. back, heart region, head, leg.......
Fourthly, I have been getting hot burning sensations from the centre of my chest which seem to rise up to my head and this makes me feel a little sick and hot and I feel I get a funny taste in my mouth when this happens.... I am really worried about this one as its at the heart region adn I am scared there really is somthing wrong with my heart.....
Does anyone else get these symptoms?
I just dont know if they are anxiety related or something else but I am finding it difficult to just ignore them and accept them as anxiety. I am really struggling with the symptoms at the moment.
Thanks
