befor or after

[jodie]

dose your anxiety come befor your symptoms.

or dose your symtoms come befor your anxiety

well i suffer health anx.......my symptoms come first .....cant take deep breaths ...chest pains......feelin of somethin in throat...then that leads to the anxiety

Cam.......

I think the answer for me is that both come first under different circumstances:

For example: I can get genuine symptoms like a bad cough or cold/flu (or any genuine medical symptom that I cant explain) that lead me to feel anxious or I can get anxious thoughts that lead to symptoms of anxiety.
The whole symptoms/anxiety thing can eventually just become a vicious circle.

with me the anxiety and the symptoms basically feed off each other so they happen at the same time.

[kittykat]

the symptoms come first with me, then the anxiety which blows every thing way up out of proportion xx

[missy_swallows]

mine came with feeling dizzy and then the panic attacks!

[HeatherMc]

Agree with Missy, feel a bit dizzy, lightheaded etc and then the anx kicks in and the symptoms become worse before you know it Mrs Anxiety has you hook line and bloomin sinker

My symptoms come first and then the anxiety which in turn makes the symptoms much worse. So what starts of as a palpitation or a pain rapidly becomes a heart attack or something x

[Cathy V]

Yep im the same as jodie...the ectopics do it for me every time!
