hey i’m right there with u
my plan is tomorrow try to get outside somewhere alone during daylight away from people like in nature and try to breathe a bit
Havent read through all the thread...but you people with anxiety issues...do you also get physical manifestations?
I feel so odd because besides some of the common symptoms (racing heart, shakes, racing mind and worry, feeling of unsettledness or doom, whatever) I get weakness in my arms and hands, like they are weighed down by lead weights, I cant swallow and choke when trying to drink, I feel like I maybe should call an ambulance b/c there is something very wrong with me. Its mostly when there are other people around, like claustrophobia and anxiety or something. It eases off when I can be alone, to some extent. Caffeine seems to exasperate it.
Anyone else get physical manifestations of anxiety? Not just mental? The weighted down arms and weak grip, and choking when I try to take a sip of water are really disturbing for me right now.
i got weird anxiety bc i get heart issues and that sets off panic/anxiety. not like i’m thinking about it and worried, but i guess there’s this weird thing where if your heart starts to race or can’t beat right or skips a beat so your brain lets loose some chemicals that induce panic/anxiety. it sucks because my heart does that when i exercise hard or get super hot or whatever and then out of nowhere i got adrenaline and cortisol and glucose and feel this crazy fear, with no reason to it. outside of that, i dont have too much anxiety.
have u had bp checked? if u get higher bp when u get scared that might make arms/legs feel numb or heavy maybe
The heart thing—I get something similar. Apparently everyone in my family on my moms side does because I told her about how my heart would kinda skip around when I exercised hard and she’s like “have you tried giving up caffeine? It helped the rest of us” so I did and it did, it happens way less frequently now.
i got a sinus node issue and my heart beats super slow most of the time bc it got damaged from this medication i was once on. but u right bc a ton of coffee is no help either
Bodies are weird1 -

I get hallucinations sometimes but it happens with or without anxiety really
I have auditory hallucinations sometimes. They are so "real" to me...having visual hallucinations must be very disturbing too.3 -

I used to get this. Don’t know why or how it stopped. Now I just hear music when the fan is on but that’s tinnitus
ETA: & when I say used to, i mean it happened 3 times in a short period of time a little more than 20 years ago.1 -

I did go to the doctor, it was a weird appointment. She had these mental health check lists, it was awkward and I was super anxious.
I havent followed up with the bloodwork and heart checkup, I'm afraid of what may turn up. Do have heart problems in my family, so get it worked up annually. Have high blood pressure at doctors office and when I'm stressed, but not at home.
I left the appointment with a weird feeling, I felt like she thought I was fishing for drugs, which 100% I wasn't, just was having really hard time dealing with my symptoms at work. Not sure if the symptoms are lessened or I'm just dealing with it better now.1 -
Once when I was young a Yellow Jacket flew into my mouth but I spit it out before it stung the inside of my mouth. Then I went and played on an old Fire Truck. I don't know why that is on my mind now.0

I get hot, sweaty, dry mouth, heart palpitations, chest pain, headaches, shortness of breath etc... Not fun. Sorry to hear about your symptoms, they do sound unsettling.
Thank you, and I'm sorry for you too, not fun at all, and hard to know what may trigger it.2 -

It is weird. It doesn't happen often to me, and most often it's someone calling my name. Most recently it was a doorbell, and someone chanting in the other room.
The best one was years ago, some man singing Italian opera.2 -

You're lucky. I didn't spit out the one that flew in my mouth. I didn't notice it until it stung my lip. My lip swelled up really fast. I looked like a freak and if I recall correctly it was also itchy and painful.1 -

You're the 2nd person I know that got stung inside their mouth.0 -
I've been having a rough week waiting for hospital test results again and my kids dropped me off these flowers at work, they made me cry but they also lifted me up when I really needed it the most. I'm so lucky to have them ❤

I have auditory hallucinations too. The most disturbing one is when I hear music in the middle of the night that really isn't there.

Generally when its off the charts for me, my main symptoms are utter mental paralysis. Can’t make myself do a thing, and the longer that goes on, the harder it is to break it. Those times are the unexplained anxiety, where I don’t know what’s causing it.
However, there have been times where I’ve had anxiety with known causes and those cases tend to be much worse. My throat closes up, can’t swallow at all, tough to breathe. Chest pounds and heart beats erratically, missing beats. My arms and legs feel like lead and kinda buzz/tingle. I have always had an explanation when those things happen so I’ve never felt scared enough to call for help but it’s definitely a terrible feeling.2
