Met someone with the same physical anxiety symptoms as me!
I recently met a friend who has the same physical anxiety symptoms as I do. Throughout our conversation we both cited:
- someone squeezing our head
- one point of pain right in the middle of the left chest
- pins and needles down left arm
- heart beating hard in chest (but no racing pulse)
(Important note: we both have had thorough checks at the doctor for heart issues. I don't recommend ignoring the above symptoms or self-diagnosing as anxiety. This thread is rather for anxiety sufferers who have already been examined by doctors and diagnosed with anxiety.)
It was so just so nice for both of us to talk about it! We felt so much less alone.
What are your physical anxiety symptoms?
@elisbec22
For me, my physical anxiety symptoms usually present as muscle-tightness, a generalized feeling of dread, and an inability to verbally articulate myself as well as I usually do.
I'm so glad you found somebody! it makes you feel normal. cuz doctors probably get annoyed.
For me its bathroom time. id have bowel movements until my entire bowel is empty. its pretty painful. and my fingers swell. it becomes hot, red, itchy, and puffy. i didn't get a definite diagnoses but my docs think its Erythromelalgia. do any of you suffer from this condition?
