Do your anxiety symptoms change from time to time?

Hi all

I just wondered if your symptoms change, like you get all the same but sometimes it's this.........and sometimes it that.....

I have breathing difficulties sometimes, sometimes it's my heart racing, sometimes both sometimes pains in chest, sometimes tight feeling right across the chest underneath me bust! Like if it ain't one thing it's another?

So exhausted

Yes, I've had so many different anxiety symptoms. Each new one caused panic as I imagined what could be wrong with me now......
There was a time when I seemed to have something wrong with me every day but as I've learned more about this condition I've been able to gain some control and alot of the symptoms have disappeared.

Once you have identified and adapted to a certain symptom of anxiety, it is possible that the anxiety can disguise itself and attack from another angle.

If a symptom can best be described as "weird" it is almost certainly anxiety -- bear this in mind at all times. That is the one trait common to nearly every symptom caused by anxiety, and it is the chink in anxiety's armour.

I get pretty much the same symptoms all the time to do with anxiety. Its the physical symptoms that change, which then causes the anxiety.

Hope that makes sense LOL

sometimes they change but they are mainly the same thing!

Over the past few months my symptoms have gone from palpitations, to dizziness/lightheadedness and now it's breathlessness!!!! Not good! I agree with PsychoPoet about your body adapting to the symptom and so it comes at you with a whole new one! I suppose it makes sense really, you get used to a symptom and almost ignore it but the anxiety is still there so has to find a new avenue to show itself! The joys of anxiety...not :-(

Hi Ev1

Thanks for replies.

I seem to swing from one symptom to another even in one day! Like today I've had the breathlessness, now I'm sitting here watching a video on youtube & BHAM I'm now having palpitations!!

What do you do when there doesn't seem to be much of the waking day when you're not feeling anxious? It's really taking it's toll on me

my symptoms change and change about - just as i think i have got rid of one symptom another will arrive eg.
My vision is blurred or tummy churns or it is hard to breathe or I feel so scared (of what???) or feel very giddy or nausious.
I get so tired of worrying that i get more anxious - sometimes I knit and if i can get engrossed in the pattern - i can be OK for a while.
BUT watching films - the music, the speed of the picture the loudness the tension - thats it turn it off
