I am just checking if these symptoms are a common feature for us. I am currently undergoing checks with doctor what wonder if this is all in my head.

I do have a lump in my groin (Lymph area)

Aching legs - feels like cramp all over and worse at night but slightly better in the morning. Can can get bad and I limp.

Headaches and pain around back of shoulders and neck which comes and goes

blood blisters in my mouth (not ulcers)

Pins and needles and itchy fingers and toes

Burning patches on skin mainly legs and arms

blurred eyes and loss of thought patterns (forgotfulness)

Extreme tiredness - wake up tired and need to sleep by midday (but not possible with a young child lol)

Feel slightly shakey and faint at times especially if I get on the floor and get up again.

I get mild panic attacks but work through them and so far I am doing so well with PA and my agoraphobia has not returned - if it does then I will deal with it!

Thank you - just wondering if these phyiscal things could be down to my mental state rather than an underying health problem.

Aching legs - feels like cramp all over and worse at night but slightly better in the morning. Can can get bad and I limp. (I have this and twitching, my legs always feel tired and heavy and like they might give way).

Headaches and pain around back of shoulders and neck which comes and goes ( I have constant headaches, from waking up to sleep, like a tense pain over my head, down my neck muscles and into my shoulders.)

blood blisters in my mouth (not ulcers) (I can get 3 of these at a time).

Pins and needles and itchy fingers and toes (I get pins (tingling) and needles in mmy hands, in my feet, in my legs, in my back, on my face :( )

Burning patches on skin mainly legs and arms (sometimes my whole body can burn).

blurred eyes and loss of thought patterns (forgotfulness)
(My eyes are always blurred and dry).
Extreme tiredness - wake up tired and need to sleep by midday (but not possible with a young child lol)(I have been up 30 mins and already feel ready to hit the sack).

Feel slightly shakey and faint at times especially if I get on the floor and get up again. (I feel like I might faint almost all day :/ )

How long have you had your lump?

I have a lumps behind my right ear for almost 6 years now and is currently my obsession :(

Anyway, to answer your question, I feel itchy and sometimes my stomach isn't "in the right place". Red/hot ears at times and random shooting pains at random parts of the body :(

Hi guys this is my first post I've looked at a lot of the articles on here but found the courage to join and post. My anxiety first started 3 years ago when my 7 week old baby was admitted to hospital at this time I also found a lump on my breast and my husband had 2 planned non serious operations - I found 2 lumps in the space of six months and this kicked off the need to constantly check myself sometimes up to 10 times a day leaving myself sore and bruised under the skin, numerous visits to the Dr and she picked up something wasn't quite right and asked me what I'm afraid of and the answers simple my mom died suddenly at 50 ny fear is I will die young and my 3 children will be left without a mom - my current anxiety attack started in October no real reason I just felt myself feeling a bit edgy and it spiraled was sick every morning churning upset tummy felt shaking and on edge stomach pains all over all id had previous was a cold which had caused some breast pain - anyway Dr was pretty sure it was all anxiety related but reffered me for bloods and an ultra sound - panic ensured as I was convinced something was wrong scan day came and I was told everything was fine althou I have polysystic overies (I new this thou) however my bloods came back with stars against them my liver function was raised and was my sedimentaion rate so repeat bloods were necessary - also a stool sample too - all this is happening at beginibg of December my fear I wud get bad news at Xmas as that wen we always have a tough time, my stool sample came back positive for blood so had to repeat it and of course google just tells u its one cancer or another anyway second sample cane back fine and so did bloods however I'm still getting pressure headache initally they were at the back of my head base of neck and felt like someone was pushing my head down had them most days but didn take any medication, the pain would move around my head be at the top or on the one side, a good friend of mine said she experienced the same when her anxiety flaires up, I'm still having these pressure pains now on top of head maybe only 3 finger tips in size but occasional shooting pains and pain over one eye I've now convinced myself I mist have a brain tumor my hands feel wobbly at tomes althou if u hold my hands out they don't move I feel shakey light headed some times too - I have a busy life work part time and have three children aged 9 7 3 the older 2 argue constantly and spend my life playing referee so stress is present in my life, I've just started seeing a counsiller who has asked me to keep a diary but its these pressure headache that are concerning me is it just anxiety? Any comments welcome xx

Hi ambers
Yes, I've just posted something similar regarding the fatigue/ tiredness. This bothers me the most.
I get lots of tension in neck and shoulders- sometimes my hands feel tired and tense too. Legs feel tense, ache and heavy a lot but I notice I sometimes tap my feet etc if I'm feeling really panicky. Like one of the others said, sometimes they feel like they could give way they're so bloody tense and tired.
I've had dizzy spells, but thankfully they seem to be subsiding.
Burning all over at times, I think it's due to a lactic acid build up in muscles or something but I can only describe as feeling similar to when you have a cold/ flu but no temperature etc?
You're certainly not alone xxx
