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.

Weird Symptoms..cant anyone relate?

Ok Ive suffered from anxiety and panic for about 8 years now. Im 22. I just had a baby 6 months ago so I know my hormones are crazy. But in the past 5 months ive had a chest xray, EKG, Blood tests, CT scan of lungs, heart ultrasound, 24 hour heart monitor and everything is normal. But these symptoms scare me.

Racing heart
lump in throat
shaking
tingle and twitches in my temples and head
numbness
difficulty breathing
burping when i get really anxious
difficulty sleeping
racing thoughts
feeling as if im in a dream or everything is fake.
tired
shooting pains in head
check my pulse
dizziness
chest pain
stomach pain

There are probably more but that is all I can think of. The two scariest ones for me are the muscle spasms in my temples and head and the feelings of unreality. Do any of u guys have this. I need some comfort and support im so scared. Thank you!

I have most of the symptoms you have. Been checked out thoroughly, nothing physically wrong with me.

Scary lots of times. The worst for me is when I get that impending sense of doom.

You sound like a perfect candidate to hypnotherapy. There's no phyisological reason why you're having your symptoms like an issue with your heart or thyroid or hormone or enzyme overproduction. You would be truly amazed at the permanent results you'll be able to feel from a couple of quality hypnotherapy sessions. Do your homework.

I feel this way everyday. Anxiety is difficult to deal with but take comfort in knowing you are not alone in this.

I've had most of them recently. I thought they were just hormones from having a baby too.

Yeah, sweetie, I'm with you! The feelings of unreality are by far the scariest. Anytime I feel the least bit "off"-tired, or dizzy, or whatever, I get these feelings and it terrifies me. I thought I was losing my mind until I realized it's a symptom of anxiety/panic attacks. It's very common and very "normal" as these things go. I usually have to distract myself or just concentrate on my breathing until it goes away. Anyone else have a better solution? It happens a lot while I'm driving or just riding in a car.

Not wierd: I have all of the following.
Racing heart -every day
difficulty breathing
difficulty sleeping-I have to take medication for this
tired
check my pulse
stomach pain/have to rush to the bathroom
I strongly suggest seeing a doctor for this. The meds do help. Is it possible you have some post-partum depression? My depression and anxiety seem to be related sometimes. I have a lot of worst case scenario thinking.

OMG! Heartache, I check my pulse, too; it's like if I can feel that my heart is still beating then it means I'll be okay. My mind always goes straight to "I'm going to die" rather than "I'm going to get through this".

    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...
