the other day I got a symptom that i've never ever had before.  I can barely explain it really... I was driving, and its like...my throat and neck felt weak sorta, i dont know.  My muscles in my neck and jaw were wanting to like...twitch..but it wasn't like a muscle spasm. I dont know how to describe it even...it was the weirdest feeling ever. and then today, i was feeling anxious, and like my neck jaw and throat got a sudden feeling of weakness, its really scary, i dont know if it could be anything neurological, or a sign for something serious, but its very scary and its causing me to flip out. i'm so scared. my jaw muscles and throat muscles have never felt like this, my jaw IS usually tense though, like TMJ maybe? i dont know, I constantly bite my finger nails

one thing to note is that when you read your post...all your obvious symptoms of anxiety are much greater than the actual physical symptom. the best idea is to reread what you wrote and point out all the symptoms you're experiencing and try to relax and look at it from a logical point of view. it all seems to just point to anxiety.

don't you ever clinch your jaw when you're nervous or anxious? most people do it quite often and don't even realize it...which shows you how connected the muscles that operate your jaw are connected to anxiety, etc. i would guess that it's something you've become hyperaware of and that's making the syptoms worse than what they are. thats just a guess though...and that guess is simply based on the fact that i've felt that way also. only i was affraid i was getting lock jaw.

well, just what I described, along with your average anxiety attack symptoms,   this time there wasn't much..  no itchiness, i'm sure my heart rate was elevated from the anxiety, and no fever that i'm aware of.

any other feelings?  such as shortness of breath?  itchiness?  racing heart? fever?

also, sometimes i'll get like...a trembling feeling in my neck / throat / jaw when all this is happening... :(
