20 most common physical symptoms of anxiety- what they are and why they happen.

[@leah5094]

I’ve dealt with a lot of symptoms. Headaches, body aches, dizziness, dysphasia, derealisation/depersonalisation, fatigue, insomnia, heart palpitations, racing heartbeat, chest tightness/crushing, chest pains, stomach pains, bloating, acid reflux, severe shaking and twitching, rls, digestive issues, stuffy nose, brain fog, weakness, dry mouth, globus sensation/feeling like I’m choking, extreme yawning, random tingling/numb/burning/shooting sensations, facial flushing, cold hands and feet, confusion, impending feelings of doom, hypochondria, tinnitus, urges to pee, blurry vision, clenching teeth and persistent low moods and low self esteem. It’s a fucking nightmare.

I just woke up from a deep sleep and I was so nauseous and felt numbness and hot all over…The nausea was overwhelming and I went to the bathroom, then I started the routine of cleaning myself and brushing my teeth in case I call 911 and have to go to the hospital . I got dressed and gradually the nausea subsided but this was the first time it was so intense. This horrible feeling lasted over 20 minutes and I still have some residual chest discomfort that comes and goes, maybe from gas and burping??? Again wondering if I should call 911… I had numerous heart tests done and my cardiologist said I’m ok , but still that fear creeps in…. I am widowed and live alone so it’s terrifying … I just keep praying

Lots of complex changes in 50 year olds. Losing parents, menopause in women, “Manapause” in men supposedly is a thing as well, huge hormone fluctuations, kids leaving (or staying) empty nest syndrome which cause change in marital patterns and we won’t mention health challenges. You are not alone. We are tired!! Through all of that, you are here typing. You are doing it none the less. You are amazing and will figure it out to feel better soon. I started walking in the woods and making sure I got my hydration. Things started to improve and I folded in more helpful easy things. Low hanging fruit as they say. Then start chipping away at the other things. Just not too much at once. You will get through this. Hang in there.

Hello Melissa, I just watched this video and I am truly grateful for the information you provided. I must have watched over 20 other videos on this subject today and yours was the only one that really explained the "whys" of the symptoms. I am a 55 year old male and haven't had a full blown anxiety attack since my mid twenties ... which lasted for several months. Unfortunately, my financial responsibilities and my responsibilities as my elderly mother's caregiver have been mounting things came to a head this past Thursday and I am now once again experiencing a full blown attack after all these years. This attack is much, much stronger and debilitating than when I was younger. I'm feeling almost every single symptom you've described in this video and have been bed bound for 2 days now because of extreme fatigue, lack of balance and dizziness. I have a Telemedicine appointment with my General Provider tomorrow in hopes that he prescribe something to allow me to function so that I won't lose my full time job or neglect my caregiver duties while this passes. Anyway, I sincerely thank you for helping me understand what is happening to me. May God bless you.

How are you doing? Did you get through this episode? I felt for you reading what you were going through. I hope you’re ok

[@user-ov5rj6vl1m]

Hello Karim, thank you for asking. Yes, I am much better now. I was able to muster up enough energy to go back to work after taking a week and a half off. My doctor said it wasn't exactly an "anxiety attack " because those only last for a matter of minutes. She said it was more of a stress overload episode which carries much of the same symptoms but could last anywhere from days to months if not managed. Simply put, I just have too much on my plate. Unfortunately, all of my problems and responsibilities aren't just going to disappear so I have to be careful to not dwell on them too much ... easier said than done. But like I said, I am much better and I owe it all to my faith in Jesus. Again, I want to thank you for reaching out to a total stranger and asking about my well being. May God bless you and yours!

Had chest tightness, went to the ER and they said I have no signs of heart attacks. I believe it’s anxiety. Just randomly kicked in while driving casually

[@ezza1236]

The chest tightness with short breath is the worst one, specially with all this bullshit about the Covid

Anyone deal with pressure beneath their ears right sort of right at the top of their jaw? It moves into my neck, head and face. It is so weird. Usually doesn’t happen very much when I don’t think about it though.

[@legacytrainer4242]

Great video and needed topic. How about brain fatigue and brain fog, or lack of brain endurance?

[@fines_artchive]

I experienced most of these except diarrhea since I am always constipated. I remember I experienced stomach pain for a YEAR. Like my lower right side of my abdomen hurts EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR A YEAR. And sometimes it's so severe that I can't sit up straight and all I want is to stand up or lay on my bed. I even went to a lot of doctors for checkup and lab test, I was even asked for whole abdomen ultrasound, kidney ultrasound, CT Scan and luckily my test results were normal. I didn't even know that it was due to anxiety coz all of the doctors I went to didn't asked me to go seek for a therapist that's why I was clueless in my suffering. What I did in order to conquer this dilemma was I resigned from my job and went abroad and VIOLAAAAAA it was gone in just a nick of time 😭❤ I'm happy that I did what my heart feels right. After a year (it was 2020) I decided to go back home because of pandemic. I experienced some symptoms of anxiety again like chest pain, throat tightness, palpitations, nightmares, feeling at edge etc. because of COVID 19. It got worst around 2022 when I experienced dizziness for more than a month. I thought it was related with my blood, but when they took my blood test it was normal. Everything was normal, then I searched the internet and discovered that it was ANXIETY once again 😭 it's so severe that sometimes my head feels heavy that I couldn't lift it up. I can't eat well because of dizziness. Sometimes when I stand up I black out for a second. I couldn't walk properly coz I feel I might fall. I felt so hopeless at that time since it's been forever. But fortunately I regain myself back when I started socializing more. I went outside more often with my friends and did fun things together and talked about our lives. Now, my anxiety is still here but I'm grateful it's not that severe like before, but I'm hoping that it won't comeback coz I am sooo effin DONE being in that state. Edit: I am watching this video right now coz I am experiencing some chest pain, throat tightness, shortness of breath and nausea just because of DUST 😭 I cleaned my room just a while ago and my head is filled with thought of "does these dusts will cause me dust allergies?" but in reality it caused me an ANXIETY ATTACK 😭 In order to stay sane I checked yt to confirm my hunch. After watching this I am gaining myself back. ANXIETY SUCKS!

[@MichaelArdieta]

This is the best explanation I have watched so far. Kudos👍👍

[@crappiesniper]

This video is curing within itself 😳... Your ability to break this down I believe is healing people as they are listening!!! It's helping me a lot! I have a question... what is causing anxiety and What is the difference in anxiety and depression?

[@enmanueldipuglia9082]

After 2+ years dealings though every of this symptoms, please listen to this advices. 1 - after your first medical check up, please do not go to the dr again for this symptoms. I developed hypocondria cause i was going weekly to cardiologist and neumologist. 2 - PLEASE FOR GOD, quit every drug. Alcohol, weed, nicotine, caffeine, stimulants in general, depressents. I used to drink a lot to cope, but i would feel way worse the days after a drinking binge. Weed made me feel derealized asf. Nicotine would give me har pounding feelings almost heart attack also caffeine. 3 - try to do some sports and workout, this helps a lot and can bring back some of your self steam

[@ryanyork837]

Adrenal weakness can cause anxiety or panic. Typically brought on by low blood sugar sometimes which goes hand-in-hand with That scenario it's not low enough adrenaline response to be addresses disease but it's still weak enough that causes lots of unbearable symptoms. In the early stages of my encounter I would drink every single night to cope with it. Until my liver started getting weak and then the symptoms manifested worse than I realized I just need to do eliminate things in my life that caused unnecessary stress including toxic people toxic diet. You gotta look out for number one when you get to that level your body is weak and it's trying to tell you to slow down.

[@TY09NS26]

Thanks for the explanation…so true. Had it all

[@Sam-x5c5u]

O wow I have so many of these physical symptoms. I get migraines regularly, awful headaches from idiopathic intracranial hypertension (idiopathic meaning they don’t know why it happens). I have been getting hot flushes and honestly thought I was going through early menopause at 34. I have had severe chest pains and ended up in A&E. I have been forgetting so such my husband always says to me that I have Alzheimers. I have been having issues with my bladder and just started medication for an overactive bladder. I really struggle with sleep, getting to sleep and staying asleep. I am so tiered and fatigued all the time. I feel like I function really well. I don’t miss a day of work, I keep on top of my home, I’m a great mother and wife and I experience joy and not low in mood but can be quick to cry. on the outside people wouldn’t know that I’m struggling with any of the above. Could I have anxiety? Now I’m not too sure

My vision went nuts after extreme anxiety 3 and 1/2 years ago exactly now.. and it continued on as well I got some better initially, and I did get put on meds over a year later.. I was too afraid to go to dr.. but I had health anxiety and ocd like symptoms as a child and my moms side of family.. all were chronic worriers and I hate the floaters and vision symptoms.

[@thejanglezclan]

In regards to the chest pains, I've always wondered that even if they're due to anxiety, WHY are they still located more so to the left side of the chest? Perhaps it's the pain manifesting itself to the side that you associate with heart-related issues?

[@jasonharris4880]

You are correct, I have this same problem as you, I always thought I was having some sort of heart issues because when anxiety hit my chest tightness or heaviness is usually more to the left side of the chest, try and splash cold water on your face when you start to feel these symptoms comming on this might help to reduce these symptoms

I feel hot, in my chest and face, numb or tingly in my arm face throat. It's scary. I feel little pains in my chest or arm and I always think it's a heart attack. It scares me so bad. My husband helps so much but I can't always have him around when panic comes just out of no where and suddenly sometimes.

[@jasonharris4880]

I have the same problem as you, no one around to ask for help when anxiety hits, it's so horrible and scary, the feeling of pain is when the body muscle start to tension and the tingling sensation though out the body is adrenaline 😢

Does anyone feel like intense workouts make the anxiety worse? I've been on a reduced calorie diet and working out at the gym 3 times a week lately, and the adrenaline feeling and many of these symptoms got worse 😢 I want to lose a few pounds but it's making me scared to work out 😢

[@jasonharris4880]

I was in the middle writing my post and it has disappeared, I get the same symptoms as you when I try to work out, it's scary and horrible. When this starts to happen you need to splash cold water onto your face, this will help to reduce the symptoms you are experiencing

[@ken-camo]

this is absolutely crazy because i have super bad insomnia, that i felt was causing me to be super tired. i also had really bad nausea and those heart pounding and the fish in my heart which is my most concerning symptom. i lost 70 lb in 2 monsts because i had gastritis. then a year later i started getting the heart symptoms. so i go to GI dr and does tests and says its anxiety related. then i go to cardio dr and had all tests done and guess what? they said anxiety. i couldnt accept this i went to 3 other cardio doctors and nobody can help me. so i finally went to the psych doctor and they gave me meds but im too afraid to take them because of my heart symptoms. i mean i cant even drink coffee because of my heart. but now hearing this video its like omfg it describes me so much. the extreme fatigue, the heart and GI symptoms. even the memory issues. the sweating problems. omg literally almost EVERYTHING. except no diarhea i actually have opposite problem in that area. but jeez so now a youtube doctor winds up breaking this all down for me and makes me take the psych doctor the more important doctor to work with now. i have been to the ER dozens of times years ago because of chest pains and not being able totake a full breathe and lead me to full blown panic attacks. plus i suffered so much with anxiety as a teenager and been thru so much bs with medications that didnt work and wound up hurting me. so yea this is def my problem. omfg dizzyness too jeez. i have almost all of these issues.

[@ken-camo]

the problem is my psych doctor prescribed welbutrin and xanax. so i know the xanax will help the anxiety, but it doesnt help all the way but i try to take the smallest amount as possible. i think i need to start meditation and doing things like this. but im afraid to take the wellbutrin because my heart symptoms is so scary and i read welbutrin can cause anxiety to get worse for the activation period.

[@ken-camo]

im gonna call my doctor tomorrow and tell her my concerns because i really want to start feeling better but im so scared to take the medicine.

[@ken-camo]

you are absolutely right about the generalized anxiety disorder. i was able to cope with the anxiousness throughout my 20s but then in my early 30s the insomnia hit so hard so bad. and then it went severely downhill from there.
