General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Tell me this is just anxiety please...
All the doctors tell me that but it is hard to hear. I have been thinking I am dying of some heart problem now for months. And the last few days I am walking around dizzy and confused and all shaken up. I have had all tests known to man like an echo, several ekgs and heart monitor. I just had a chest cat scan and xray the other night and all are normal. Why do I feel like this. Why am I dizzy and off balance and all disoriented today? Could this be something they have missed. Can anxiety really make you feel so physically horrible? Please help!!!
I am at my wits end, I can't even cook thanksgiving dinner right now and I have people to feed in 3 hours. HELP!!!!!!!

Oh it sure can! Our bodies can play the meanest tricks on us when we're panic/anxiety sufferers. There was a recent post that listed all of the symptoms that anxiety sufferers have experienced. Knowing that you're not alone, knowing that your body is in an anxious state and prone to strange feelings/sensations can be a big help in itself. We're here for you!

Yes! I had all the physical symptoms when my anxiety first started and it was horrible.....for two or three years I thought I must be dying.....I had all the tests, etc. and of course nothing showed up because it was my anxiety.....but I try to remember now that it's not me going "crazy"...your body does react for a reason....it is trying to tell you something.....sit with yourself in silence and listen......:)

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
