Does anyone else feel like they have a hard time physically moving from their anxiety?
My body feels so heavy and i feel like im having a difficult time moving and this scares me. I have been under a lot of stress lately, and i wanted to see if anyone else experiences this feeling of not being able to physically move. I can move, but not as good as i used to it and its been going on sense the other day. I hope im not dying or something.

Yeah I know what you mean...ur muscles and such get tight with all the anxiety...so movement can feel a little more uncomfortable than usual. Usually what gets me physically, when I'm in the throws of anxiety, is feeling like I can't walk 10 steps without feeling I need to sit down because my breathing feels off. One time, my anxiety was so bad and making my breathing hard and a bad dizzy head, that I crawled around my house to do my chores....I laugh looking back..but at the time it wasn't a bit funny.

I hope you're alright this morning...I have issues with getting myself to move...it's not really a tense thing, it's more a mental thing. but a lot of the time lately it's hard to even get off the couch. I also get out of breath at times just from the anxiety/panic when i'm trying to walk somewhere or something along those lines. I really hope that you are doing better with this today! :)

Morning, i know what you mean, sometimes i do not want to leave the house! Please if you can, try to see your doctor about your fears of stroke and death, they will be able to help you become aware of your health issues and maybe put your mind at ease, i have severe migraines, and the most recent, i thought was a stroke and so did the ER because they did a spinal tap and CT.

So please if you can, go to your doctor and get a referal for a neurologist, or therapist or both, they can help you! and we are always here to listen!

I hope you will be ok today, sending good thoughts your way

Anxiety can cause a whole host of issues. It is really amazing the power of our mind. Almost certain what you experienced was an anxiety symptom as there are many symptoms.
