Describing me, in the hope that somebody can relate.

[MidnightCalm]

In a single day I usually feel pretty bad throughout, I always feel like my breathing isn't right, I think I might have taught myself to breathe wrong or after being anxious for so long learnt to breathe shallow which I presume could be affecting everything else?
I get daily headaches, like a tightening around my head, sometimes it feels like somebody is pressing my temples. I get this same tightness around the top of my belly just below my ribs and that feels like I wwon't be able to breathe.
I always feel like my skin is warm or a bit itchy, my eyes are always dry, sometimes blurry.
I always feel tired, when I'm standing I just want to sit or lay down, I just want to sleep and I DO NOTHING so I don't understand why I'm tired, I literally sit on my bum all day trying to "rest the nervous system", I've been trying to rest to get rid of these symptoms for a good few months now! lol.
My legs are always on the verge of cramping, they feel weak.
i feel dizzy nearly all the time, when I sit I feel like I'm falling forward, I feel like I can never ekeep still, when I'm still I feel like my body just wants to move, I get palpitations alongside my fast heart beat and high blood pressure which I seem to have 24/7 these days.
I get bad muscle pains all the time! So bad that it feels like my shoulder blades are like tied together.
Really I just feel like I'm coming down with the flu and I have REALLY bad moments through the day (about 2) where I have to lie down for 30 mins cos I get really hot and sickly and tired and shaky and weak and stuff :/

Well i can definitely relate... it sounds like you're describing me! I also get a lot of chest pain too though!

Are you on any meds or/and having therapy? x

[iamspartacus]

you have just described how ive felt for a long time. i also get horrible depression, tinnitus, numbness, eyes sensitive to light, hot and cold feelings etc etc. its called clinical anxiety, or chronic anxiety. In the first instance, go your gp to rule out anything else. if you come back clear, you will need to start accepting that this is an overworked stress response and its harmless.

Thank you all for replying! It helps a lot!
I also get bad acid and tingling :/ It's been a horrble life for the past few months.
Lke right now i feel like death and just want to be alone.
My friends want me to go out tomorrow night but i havent been out like that in months! I feel bad enough tjust being in the house! Being out makes me 100x worse I know I'd just die or have to rush home! ;(

[Zee]

I can relate to much of that too.. I have better days but some days I feel jittery, dry, heavy eyes, floaters, lethargic, very tense muscles in neck and shoulders everything seems too much trouble. Dont know if its anxiety or depression or both ?

[Willbrand]

I feel like I'm all writing this conversation:D anxiety is hell

[choccychompa]

I feel like this too :weep: Very breathless (shallow breathing I think because I'm ok when walking.) Also keep getting pressure in my head. I used to only have HA about my heart, but it's moved on to brain tumours, cancer, etc. So sick of this. I've had HA for 6 1/ years now :weep:

[Willbrand]

im also finished with my HA issues now im in the brain tumor stage lol,seriously this is how i feel :)

[rubynoodles]

This is exactly how I feel almost every day, I would just love to have one day clear of any symptoms. If one symptoms isnt there then I will have another, i'm just never free

[Willbrand]

haha.. so true,i had this before for two long years and now it's back,it's easy to say that i can get over it fast but...it's too damn hard,thank god for this site makes it easier to cope sometimes
