DOES ANYONE GET SYMPTOMS EVERYDAY?

[naynay363]

Like the physical symptoms of anxiety/hypochondria/panic? im pregnant so i know my horomones and things are all out of control. plus ive had anxiety/panic for over 10 years
im 29 years old and almost 33 weeks prego.

but over the last two months here are my newer and more annoying symptoms----

--twitching (all over my body everyday, constantly)
--tingling (feet, hands, and other random spots on my legs, back, etc)..i only get that a couple times a day
--achey bones/body--- especially my neck,  shins, calfs and arms/wrists ((could also be carpl tunnel in my wrists)
--feelings of pressure in my face, eyes, feeling my rapid heartbeat in my ears/head

ive been to my neuro twice in the last month because of these symptoms and i  think i have some horrible disease like als or ms or something,,, she says its anxiety/stress/pregnancy and my adrenilane (sp?) is in overdrive

im on zoloft 100 mg and ativan 1 mg when needed.

i used to be on paxil which i believe worked much better, but i cant' take it while prego.
anyone relating?? im scared and stressed out constantly

believe me your thoughts are very normal i was exactly the same,but after every test and ct scan i did eventually believe that what i had was a nerve problem ask your doctor to check the position of the baby again and about some ways of easing your discomfort ,please try and relax a bit more as the tension will make your muscles tense even more,not long now and baby will be born and hopefully your aches and pains will ease.

Stress/anieties can cause all sorts of symptoms and sometimes intensify them. While pregnant, throw some hormones in the mix and a baby laying all on your nerves, muscles and whateverelse in there. Your sure to have some pains and aches. When I was pregnant, I had some of the same issues and they told me it was due to anxieties/depression and just pregnancy related. I didnt buy that. But you know what. After my second baby I did some research. During pregnancy, and all the changes with hormones and such can actually indeed bring on and intensify these pains and symptoms. I didnt believe it but there is actual research and documentation online. (I found alot in relation to carpal tunnel and pregnancy.) If neuro doc says not to worry, thats a good sign. What does your pregnancy doc say? Your almost thru your pregnancy. If you were to find out it was something more, could they even start treatments or meds while pregnant. If neuro and ob doc are not worried. Thats a very good sign. I wish you the best and hope your able to enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.

ya, i figured that too, but im afraid of neuro muscular/nerve disorders that are seroius like ms or als.....and the aches and pains often bring me to bone cancer and stuff like that...my hypochondria is OUT OF CONTROL with my anxiety

yes all these syptoms are related to anxiety,but they are very common with nerve problems,such as a trapped nerve,how is the baby laying it could be that the baby is putting pressure on your nerves which is causing all these symptoms
