Anxiety can cause CRAZY symptoms. Body ache is a big one. A lot of people mention that around here. You weren't infected with anything donating blood. You just went to the doctor and you are healthy. Working out actually helps with anxiety too. Going on walks, jogging, riding a bike etc. your jaw could be TMJ. Some people with anxiety clinch their mouth hard without noticing it. People without anxiety also do this. A lot do it while they're sleeping. My anxiety causes me to clinch my jaw and I have TMJ. Makes my jaw hurt head hurt. Sometimes my ear. I have been convinced so many times I was dying when really it was just anxiety. It is that powerful over us. Medication. Religion. And strong thought have helped me a lot. Maybe talk to your doctor about switching medication. Or possibly therapy?? You have to think strong. I honestly believe mind power is a big role in beating anxiety.
Ohh and my doctor prescribed me paroxetine 10mg
Doesn't work for crap just gets me sleepy
I'm a 21 year old girl that has been suffering from anxiety for almost 3 months now. I started having panic attacks back in May or April and it was a constant thing. It all started when I went to this clinic to give blood and they told me I might be diabetic because my sugar was low. It freaked me out I passed out while they were trying to take out blood. Idk why I went I feel like they infected me with something ever since I have not been the same and plus that I've had unprotected sex as well. I just got a std test done and I came out negative on everything. But my anxiety has led me to have every symtom and sometimes I don't think it's anxiety I just feel I'm in the beginning stages so it's not popping up. Idk why my anxiety started and has led me to have constant pain in my body. I got a like a cold, my head hurts, my chest hurts, my joints and muscles hurt the most there hurting right now as we speak especially on my hands, back and neck ache, my vision has been going blurry, my jaw hurts, plus it feels like I have a tooth ache, my skin was itchy but not soo much, I get tingly feels, I feel like something pulling my tongue down my throat, I get dizzy after eating and sometimes just randomly during the day, I have a yeast infection that won't go away, I haven't been able to wear anything tight cause my body starts aching, I feel like my blood circulation isn't flowing right on my legs, I've lost a little bit of weight because I haven't been eating the same everything gets me lightheaded. And I also get this rubber band feeling around my wrist and ankles and fingers and sometimes toes. My ribs have hurt and feel bruised. And did I forget to mention these symtoms are on a daily basis. I got a physical and I don't have high blood pressure, my liver is in good health, I'm not diabetic, and my cholesterol is fine. And I came out negative on stds. The only things the doctor told me is that I'm low on vitamin d . And I need to exercise more because I'm over weight :/ I'm 5'4 and I weigh 203. But idk like I want to believe it's anxiety but it all feels way to real and sometimes I see my hands changing colors. Like sometimes they get really red. And I feel like cracking my bones all the time or stretching I feel soo tense. Soo I understand everything ur going through. I've been into the ER 3 times already and they took exrays of my heart and I'm fine I guess :/ my blood pressure started going up and down when I was stressing but the last time I went they said it was back to normal but I don't feel like my anxiety is here anymore. I just have the daily pains they cause my anxiety to act up:/ hope my story helped u. Keep in touch
First off. Great going go to the doctors. You know you are physically healthy. Always remember that when anxiety strikes. Second. Congrats on being sober!! Anyways. Do you have or feel anxiety when you feel your chest pop or have a hard time breathing?? Feeling a shortness of breath is common in anxiety. Also. Do you have a primary care doctor? Who you talk to about your anxiety? I do and that's how I get my Prozac and klonopin. If you're worried about running out of a benzo find a PCP who truly knows your anxiety. They should prescribe a safe benzo to you if you have a history with anxiety. How long that prescription will last depends. Having a hard time breathing is common I get that often. Try deep breathing. Working out. Yoga. Prayer. It takes time and commitment to beat anxiety. Good luck
