I have been posting for several months over on the health anxiety forum where people have been great to me. I am 38 and have been diagnosed with GAD and IBS for many years. Over the last few months I feel like I have controlled my thoughts regarding health anxiety but my physical symptoms have gotten worse. My legs feel weak, my chest is tight and I am having nerve type pains all over. Is it possible that my anxiety has shifted to these more drastic physical symptoms as I have started to overcome the health anxiety? I don't feel that anxious but little things are still making me cry and my body is acting like it is overwhelmed but my mind isn't racing. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Thanks,
