Other symptoms of anxiety?

[Shookjohansen]

I have battled with anxiety for over 13 years now but I am curious to know how many people suffer with the other symptoms of anxiety besides a panic attack.  My most common symptoms (at least I think the are anxiety related) are headache, nausea and upset stomach.  What are your most common anxiety related symptoms?

Luckily I dont' suffer like I used too. I'm basically 2+ years anxiety free and medication free. However I can have an occasional anxiety spell from time to time. Therapy can be VERY helpful for me, without medication!

Since I do not have very many symptoms anymore, I will share with you symptoms I have HAD in the past. Even a TON of them ALL AT ONCE for weeks at a time.

Anxious Thoughts
Obsessive thoughts about anxiety/symptoms
Racing heart - up to 120 beats per minute
Nervous stomach
Digestive issues
Shaking/Tremors - trembling body
Leg shakes
Light headed
Crying spells
tingling sensations - fingers, wrist, ear, lips
Sensitive gag reflex
gagging
impending doom feeling
Thoughts that "i'll never get over this, what if I feel like this forever?" (this is NEVER TRUE. It ALWAYS passes eventually.)
Back aches
Canker sore out breaks
Nausea
Gas
Pacing - can't sit still at all
panic attacks (don't usually have them, but have gotten them)
Muscle twitching - all over body, even tongue.

I'm sure there is more.... you get the point though. Anxiety can royally stink! Hang in there. Are you seeking therapy or help for your anxiety? Get well. :)
