Topic: what physical feelings of anxiety do you get?

Ive had 2 really good days and now out of the blue it’s back. Went out to shops and was fine before I left and then on the way home headache kicks in , pain around chest area , nausea and lump in throat. Now got to stop my mind from looping all over the place . I have terrible O.C.D

Hey Lacie

yes I can relate to what you are saying as I to do not really understand where all my anxiety is coming from at this time in my life. I did have anxiety in my younger years but at 56 I feel like I’m at a good place in life so not sure where this is all coming from. I have had mri and heart checks and all is fine but I still get these awful fluttering feelings in heart , nauseous, headaches. Of course this sends my mind into a loop and I start thinking the worst. It’s awful when it comes on because it just seems to come from nowhere. Sending you hugs.

Horrible stomach like cramps that makes me feel bloated and nauseating chest pains.

once i start experiencing these it gets to my head then the full blown irritated mood breaks out. something i really want to control and stop from happening cause i end up taking it out on those around. then my mind starts to really wonder out and overthinks everything. questioning everything and asking myself what if .......

Hi Markev,

I often wake up during the night with a rapid heart rate. Usually around 2am.
I usually get up, feeling very shaky, to go get a drink of water before trying to go back to sleep.

For me, it’s been nausea, dry gagging and not getting much sleep, roughly 4-5hrs only, 6 if I’m lucky

Very reassuring to read that I’m not the only one out there going through the same thing, and I can only hope I can be as strong as some of the fellow forum posters here

Yep, sharp stabbing pains in the stomach is exactly what I experience!

It's funny you mentioned your swimming carnival as the first time I really experienced this feeling was when I was way younger at my school sports carnival.

Legit the weeks leading up I would have these sharp stabbing pains in my stomach.

Curious to hear if you overcome this in any way?

Hi Gracie63 and all the members above that have posted here on Annabays thread topic too!

I also felt the same after experiencing chronic anxiety in the early 1980's. The meds also provided me with a solid foundation on which I could heal combined with regular visits to my doc

Thankyou Gracie63 and everyone for being a part of the discussion

my kind thoughts....Paul

Hello all.

recently I have been pretty good and if any symptoms were coming up they were small and I just did my best to ignore them. But in the past few days I’ve had some flare ups but worse than before. Last night I felt tired out of nowhere and and got a bit lightheaded and then of course assumed I was going into cardiac arrest or something silly then in the past half an hour I was watching a show and started breathing shallow and my chest got very tight out of nowhere and I got dizzy. I’m super on edge now since I thought I was getting better since I’ve been making good life choices.

I’ve also been getting this occasional feeling of something rushing through my body like I feel super shaky but I’m not. It’s like I can feel my blood flowing all over my body. A lot of the time I also feel like I can feel my pulse all over my body like if I ball my fist I can feel it in my palm or put my fingers together I can feel it which I’ve never felt before an I quite frankly don’t like it. Has anyone else experienced these things? Other than this I have been pretty fantastic and even managed to get on a roller coaster the other day without having an attack. I get some chest discomfort like almost a spasm feeling after exercise it not too worrying.

Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

So many symptoms.....globus sensation, sore jaw, sore ear, sore throat, sore neck, sore shoulders, nausea, reflux, headaches....the list goes on and on. As I suffer severe health anxiety it is a nighmare. As per my last post surely if something sinister was happening the bloods, scans, xrays etc would show something??? :(

Vallie Sorry for your loss your husband must have been nice if you are missing him so. I hope you find some comfort here on the forums. I wish you well as you progress without him.

The Horrible Anxiety Symptom I Get Is The False Sensation Of Having To Pee it is infuriating Like I can visit the Loo and immediately experience the sensation again. Then I get dizzy I go pale and still I think I need the loo. Doctor has helped me heaps now I preload and I am getting better at handling the false sensations.
