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

Doctor explains: Does anxiety cause shortness of breath, dizziness, chest pain and tightness, headaches, stomachaches, diarrhea, and other physical symptoms?
If you struggle with anxiety you know that it is more than just worrying. Anxiety can cause so many physical symptoms too, such as fatigue, headaches, stomachaches, chest tightness, dizziness, blurry vision, sweating, and unfortunately many more.
Many of these symptoms are caused by activation of our flight-or-fight response (mediated by our sympathetic nervous system). In this video, we will go over some of the most common physical symptoms of anxiety and will talk a little about why each symptom occurs.

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.

[@Ethnosis]

Do you know what trigger these symptoms? Do you have cardio phobia? Have you been the the ER or doctors? I’ve had all those symptoms before in panic attacks and some of them before a panic attack. Search up the channel Martin Burridge, his videos have helped me a lot. Best of luck and just know things are temporary and do get better.

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 have all but a couple of these symptoms. I am convinced (and have been for over 10 years) that it has to be something else. The physical symptoms are terrible. I had a couple years break but in the last 8 months it has come on strong! Have trouble even leaving the house. The pandemic hasn't helped but these are new symptoms for me. I am terrified to take antidepressants so feel stuck. Thinking of all those who suffer too :( Great video!!

[@shyaaammeneen63]

Ashley, How are you now? Consulted a physician? In life there are only 2 problems-mind and the body. To feel better reduce negative thoughts [overthinking]. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations when taking a walk, before sleep, in school, at work, when reading, etc. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a better life. Reduce negative social media, take morning sunlight walks and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.

[@ashleymarie8860]

@@shyaaammeneen63 I have consulted with a physician and have been with mine for years now. I have done therapy which helped a bit. In my case I have panic disorder/health anxiety/depression. My doctor and therapist have said that it is not just negative thoughts.somwtimes it happens for no reason. Maybe I was triggered by something and didn't realize. I also have some medical issues that sometimes contributes to physical symptoms that triggers the anxiety. I appreciate your reply. Thank you.

[@shyaaammeneen63]

@@ashleymarie8860 Nothing happens for no reason. Anyway what you can do you must do. With my simple practice you will gain something but lose nothing. Read more about relationship between thoughts and the mind on google. . Since many years I have made it a habit to observe my breath sensations even during my normal activities and I am feeling relaxed and healthy. Anywhere-anytime it can be done. The best part is nobody comes to know that you are doing the breath observing practice as there is no deep breathing or sound. Normal life is not affected. Read my msg and do the practice regularly. Best wishes. Sr. Counsellor.

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.

[@Karim.711]

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!

Yes I also have memory problems when I experience this and it brings on panic attack because I don’t understand what is going on at that time

I've gotten to the point when im sitting straight up my neck and back hurt so bad, then my chest will hurt then my mind races then i start worrying... so i have to get up and go lay down then i slowly start to feel better... but for the past few days sitting at my computer is an absolute no.

[@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!

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.

[@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
