Burning sensation in legs/body.. Anxiety?

[hockeycrazy3033]

This past summer I went to the ER twice in a matter of days as I had a fast heart rate, numbness, dizzyness, etc.. They ran a bunch of tests on me and found everything to be normal. I've been to the doctors since then and they've taken tubes of blood and tests came back normal as well. I've also been to a cardiologist twice in the last month because I constantly worried about my heart thinking it was WAY too fast at 100-120 beats per minute. That's when at rest to! They did an ultra sound, ekg, holter monitor..etc and found everything was normal. My doctor then told me he thinks it's my nervous personality/anxiety that is getting my heart rate up and keeping me paranoid..etc. I mean it seriously is the most uncomforable feeling in the world. I'm ALWAYS paranoid that I've got some illness. I'm constantly looking up symptoms online and when I find one I automatically think I have a problem..then I get scared and my heart starts to race..etc.
Lately I've had this fear of diabetes! First I had the fear of cancer, but now it's diabetes. im  always so paranoid and just because I have frequent urination Im all worried thinking I have it. And to top it off I've had burning sensations in my legs today for no apparent reason. It just feels like sunburn and I look at it and it's not scratcher or anything! Then I go back and think OMG this could be a sign of diabetes..so of course I get freaked out all over again.

The past few days my legs have been burning. I woke up about 3 this morning and came down to check the internet to see what could cause this. LOL I, too, tend to be hypochondriac and am afraid (sure) I am diabetic.  I, too, think I might have a brain tumor or am developing Altzheimer's. I have a "buzzy" feeling in my head, am "losing" words, thought, memory. I, too, am stressed beyond belief. I woke up fearful but am laughing at the symptoms now: shortness of breath, extreme dizziness, headaches, itching. I am comforted by your posts. I am most probably okay, just anxious about many things. Please know you will all be in my prayers. Your posts have been a great comfort to me to know I am not alone.

Hello.I have anxiety attacks for 6 years.Just find some game or hobby to concentrate yourself when the attack begin. Don`t worry, the symptoms will be different every year:) just DO NOT PANIC! I have been to ER 1000 times, and there is nothing that they can do. my advice is exercise, good food and more socialization even if you do not want.Just push your self as much as you can.And cry when you have need to cry.It will relax u.Trust me:) hope you feel beter.SEE ya.

finally, i have found a group of others with same symptoms!! Im 22 and have been experiencing anxiety on and off for 3 years now. lately it has been extreme from face burning, legs and head tingling/ numbness, heart racing, jaw locking and headaches. I've been to the Dr and Er a total of 11 times the past two weeks! All I've gotten is everything is fine with you and its just another symptom of anxiety. :( i just want it to go away!

I also get heart racing, been 150 beats a minute in the ER...I had to get a shot of ativan. I also get heart palpuations bad sometimes..However, if any of you drink enoough beer, consider also drinking water, as dehydration can cause a lot of dizzy light headedness. Also try cupping both hand around your nose and breath slowly for awhile..a nurse told me that and it helps me some.
