Could it be Anxiety Symptomps ?
Hi All,
im new here, I wanted to share all symptoms I’m having and wanted to know if anyone else was feeling the same.
- palpitations out of nowhere
- cold hand and the other warm
- shaky hands and feet
- right arm numbness
- chest tightens or pressure
- pressure breathing
- Feeling fear when the symptoms start
- been rushed to ER with palpitations and high blood pressure
- - dizziness
- most important a constant need to crack my chest bone
- palpitations worsen when standing up (when in crisis)
went to cardio consults, with holter, echocardiogram, stress tests,
neuro consult, mri on chest and neck spine,
gastro consult with endoscopy and other tests
all coming negative
does anyone here has experienced any of the above .?

HI there. Welcome to 7 cups.
It's a long time since I studied biology, and it's always best to get a doctor to check out physical symptoms, so it's good to hear that you have been going down that route. They are by far the best placed to figure out what is going on.
But in my view, physical and mental systems do inter-relate, so this might be an avenue to explore. From what I remember, anxiety and fear release hormones like adrenaline and cortisol and these can affect things like heart rate, breathing rate and blood supply to extremities, so it's possible anxiety could be related to the things you are experiencing. Definitely a good question to ask your doctor.
The cool thing is that many of the techniques for anxiety, such as mindfulness, are very unlikely to have adverse side effects. So maybe you and your doctors could investigate trying some of those and see if they help at all and that might enable you to figure out if anxiety is having any role in this.
Best wishes in getting to the bottom of it. These things can be very frustrating to figure out, with lots of dead ends to rule out. Bit totally worth the time to get it right.
