Hi Kingi
I have been exactly the same for many weeks now but have realised that this is due to health anxiety which im sure is what you are going through at the min
obviously i suggest you speak to your GP to rule out any health issues.
if you have already done that then rest assured that is all due to anxiety, as unfortunate as it is health anxiety cause bring on many unwanted thoughts and feelings.
I have found NMP a great help, speaking to people going through the same thoughts and feelings , im sure that this will help you !!
If you ever want to chat let me know hun xx

I get precisely the same ._.

Random pains and twinges and stuff...

It's anxiety, nearly 100% certain

Stress/tension can make the body feel pretty much anything!

I am actually having a check up of my heart soon and blood test as I was worried about myself, but I'm sure it will come out fine

Try to relax, but don't hesitate to have a chat to your GP even if just to make you feel better - that's what I did

hi kingi, its just the anxiety, i was trawled through the internet finding out all i could about anxiety and found a website based in america, i thought i was going nuts worrying about every twinge etc but seemingly anxiety can cause a whole load of health issues aswell as mental issues, it set my mind at ease knowing what was causing my health issues

go to your doctor anyway to rule out other stuff just in case, but anxiety does cause health problems too

i have the unfortunate situation where my anxiety is a mixture of all the types of anxiety you can get

I am exactly the same, every morning it's like i am waiting for the first pain, twinge etc.. I lost my mum 9 months ago and since then everyday is the same, I am fed up with feeling this way.. I am on sertraline as I was suffering really bad and although my panic attacks have calmed down everyday I think something is going to happen to me! I am trying to stay positive and tell myself I am normal and nothing is going to happen.. ITS STRESS and NOTHING else!
Keep your chin up and think happy thoughts (easier said than done)
