I am in a battle where I can't convince myself I "just have anxiety". My symptoms the last few weeks have been:
*Weak, worried when I stand up I will die as I feel funny. Sometime's I feel weak when I am standing but maybe a anxiety related thing as I've been googling all sorts.
*Jittery heartbeat sometimes fast.
*Headache: At one side of my head feels like it's being squeezed or my ear has popped (not sure could be tension or a cold can't decide). I can feel like the vein sometimes at the side and sometimes feel numb ect.. in different parts of my body though. My head is still sore and has been for a about 2 days..
*Quite bad panic attacks, insomniac nights, sometimes struggling to eat.
*Had some of these symptoms weeks on end and not felt better so worried I have some issue with my health got the doctors in a week or so but it's mainly to ask for more therapy.
*Housebound the last few weeks but can manage only work ect..still get anxious at work but kind of battle on. In the house I'm worse..can panic, worry all day long. Since I had a depersonalization feeling weeks ago after a stressful period I've only got worse.
I can't get to the bottom of these symptoms. Certainly I'm quite bad with panic and more physical symptoms. I was stressed and down 8/10 weeks ago. That's when I just could not cope with these sensations trying everything to stop them. Just can't be 100% sure it's anxiety as there's always that niggling voice saying maybe i'm a rare case. I've worried about all different things health wise. I'm hoping it will pass not sure how much of it is maybe a nerve thing triggered, maybe chronic anxiety? Some symptoms cause extreme fear like a headache, depersonalization.
Anybody any advice? :blush: Not sure anybody can convince me it's not anxiety but interesting to hear about anybody's experience with nerves, panic, health anxiety and how bad "phantom symptoms" can be..or if they were not suffering anxiety?
