Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

So recently I've been getting like this pressure on my left arm. Sometimes it feels like I have to keep it at a certain position and feels weird if I move it a lot. I also freak out cause I've been getting this weird sensations like around my heart or boob. But my doctor said my heart is fine. So I know my heart is good. I just don't know about this pressure. Is that a symptom?

Yes. Anxiety can show up as all kinds of physical symptoms. If your doctor said your heart is fine, then your heart is fine.

Do you have things you like to do that help you relax? Fun things to do, things that make you happy, meditation, working out, hobbies?

I know you said this all started 3 weeks ago. Could it be because of the holidays maybe. If the anxiety is something new for you, I would encourage you to stay busy, distract yourself, and continue to live your daily life as normal. The more we sit and wonder about this symptom or that symptom, it can make us more and more anxious.

If this continues, you might have to think about talking to a therapist and possibly getting on anti-anxiety medication.

But for now, stay busy with other things, do something physical like working out, going for a walk, clean up the house.... something that releases physical energy.... will help the anxiety to calm down.

I've lived with anxiety for over 25 years now. I think it's important to get control of it early on. You can do this! You're not alone.

yes, it yet another symptom, but. . . one of the er doctors who believed common anxiety could lead to permanent heart damage theorized that the pains in my left arm were a sign that the permanent damage was on its way to scientifically detectable levels on the basis that it is the second symptom of a heart attack. still no physical evidence of the damage, but. . .

i stepped up my psychotherapy treatment after that particular er visit.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
