Symptoms in a nutshell.

[hannah84]

Hello I have come on this fabulous website so many times over the last four months when ever I feel anxious about my aches and pains and weird feelings and I always come across lots of posts about the feeling i am having at that time, but then i go on to google and when they list the panic and anxiety symtoms they are all the same pounding heart, shaking, hyperventilating, nausea, hot and cold feelings, etc but i know that i have so many more symptoms that they never really list so i thought i would make a list of all the symptoms that i have and you can add your and then if someone wants some reassurance then they can look to.
So my symptoms are:
sweating
Shaking/trembling
Nausea
beating heart
Feeling like i am in a bubble
Angry
sad
feeling like i need to run away or escape
thoughts of dying and being scared to die
Sharp pains in my head and neck
tingling all over my body
feeling like i am going mad
scared of the outside world and the sky
feeling like my sight is blurry
numb fingers, hands and arms and face
fidgety and just a sense of unease
feeling like i cant take a deep breath and that i cant breathe

so these are my symptoms if i think of anymore then i will add them and please feel free to add your own.
Im sorry if i have put this in the wrong place.

I sometimes find it so difficult knowing what is due to anxiety and what is just a symptom of say something physical. I get allergies so sometimes my shallow breathing is due to that.

My main symptoms with anxiety are:

Heart Palpitations and racing (feels like it can beat right out my chest and I can hear it pumping in my ears!)
Nausea and no appitite - I really hate this one
Shaking and agitation - I sometimes just pace around and cant sit still
Smoking increases - I know the nicotine does me no good!
inability to concentrate
irritability with others
obessive thoughts
cant sleep
teeth grinding

Im even finding it hard to concentrate on this post!

I have had so many checks from so many doctors and many out of hours doctors, and cardiologist... they all say I am fine and no abnormalities... So they cant all be wrong can they? Route cause must be anxiety.

My suggestion is to go to A & E - say to them you are expieriencing chest pain and they will see you straight away... the resident doctor will check nearly everything to make sure your okay... With that reassurance you could be certain that it would be down to anxiety.

Next time it happens you could start to control your breathing...

- Feel the need to use the toilet
- Dry mouth/throat
- Clicking noise in the back of my throat
- Pins and needles/Tingling in face/ears/back of neck
- Stiff neck
- Aggressive behaviour for no reason
- Feeling that your trapped when out and about. I.e. if your sitting on a train by the window and someone sits next to you, you feel like they're suffocating, and need to break away and go home.
- Very tight knot in your stomach, or muscles contracted tightly in your chest
- Vivid eyesight
- Muscle aches and pains
- Difficulty concentrating
- Itchy eyes
- Sensitivity to light

All these symptoms and more are definitely down to anxiety.

Another new one i seem to get is thinking that people don't like me and have a problem with me, for no reason!

Hi,


I have many of the above symptoms, including:


racing heart,
palpitations,
knot in stomach,
feeling like I am short of breath,
some aches and pains,
feeling something bad is going to happen.


and sometimes, but not often ….
Really bad feeling like I am being enveloped in darkness.
A feeling that people are looking at me strangely.
A problem with crowded places.
A feeling of loneliness and detachment, also in crowded places.


The severity varies, and luckily I do have periods free from them: sometimes many months..
