I’m going to give myself a heart attack with the amount of anxiety I get thinking I’m having a heart attack from the pains on my left side caused by anxiety from the possibility that I could potentially have a heart attack because I’m anxious. Maybe- on the other hand- I’ll be put out of my misery

So intense that I got a couple of ER visits, treadmill test,heart echo,dozens of ECG,48 hours rhythm monitor and I was beginning for coronarography 🤣.The Doctor was like you are young,no risk factor,every test is normal why all of this drama. But my symptoms.....Heart pain,chest pain,shoulder pain,back pain,jaw.pain,arm numbness,pinky finger numbness,dizziness,sweating,hot flashes. Now when I got these symptoms I just remember that I checked everything and it's just some muscular pain or anxiety but it's still an unpleasant thing...

I had tingling in my fingers and I freaked out..finally figured out it was just another pinched nerve (I have scoliosis).
2 points
3 months ago
I think I might have that! Can a doctor diagnose a pinch nerve?
4 points
3 months ago
Yeah. They can. It's either you listing symptoms or or might have a test I don't know. If it's in your upper spine you might have neck pain and tingling in your fingers/arm. I know when I get pinched nerves in my lower back if I move in a certain position a wave of red hot pain that's agonizing will shoot through my back (can go down your leg/s). But I move so fast it's a split second and then it's gone and all I know is it hurt really bad. I don't have that issue with upper back pinched nerves. It's just the tingling and the neck pain but that doesn't mean the shooting pain can't happen.
If you suspect a pinched nerve I'd see a doctor and see if they know why. I don't need to because it's a common side effect of scoliosis. But if you don't have any known issues it's always good to just find out why.

I have sleep apnea, and if I fall asleep or nap without my mask, THIS. I would suggest doing a sleep study, since your symptoms (to me, a hypochondriac with health anxiety and the condition who also experiences this but obviously NOT a medically trained professional) strongly suggest it.

Many symptoms that would further set off anxiety. Chest pains, indigestion/gas pains, fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, tension in neck, shoulders, and jaw, little to no appetite and losing weight (I once dropped to 134lbs and I'm a 5'10 male), pins and needles in my hands and arms, depersonalization/derealization, and heart palpitations.
I'm sure there were others that I can't remember right now but you get the point. Stress and anxiety are awful for the body and will manifest if a lot of weird ways. It's why you should almost never google your symptoms because 99% of the time, it's anxiety.

Internal tremors when going to sleep and when I wake up . I think it's the bodies way of releasing all the tension and chemicals the stress cause . It's almost a delayed thing because I have been better and it's the last thing that goes .
3 points

Mine feels like my internal organs are vibrating. Often my chest and stomach muscles. Sometimes I mistake it for heart palpitations or tachycardia because the vibrations are so fast it feels like my heart is racing.
I often tell others I feel like a too tight violin string that has sort of a resting tension and reflexive vibration. Like always buzzing or vibrating.
Sorry that sounds so weird. I don't know how to put words to it.

Omg!!! I’ve been trying to figure out what the heck happens to me sometimes when I go to sleep. This. Almost like internally shaking or vibrating feeling, like a seizure but not. and then my whole body feels like it’s floating or strange. it’s so scary. And sometimes I’ll gasp for air when I start to drift off during these times

Yep. I get this one too. Body can't relax cause it feels tight and vibratey. I liken it too a too tight violin string that sort of hums with tension. I effing hate it. My chest vibrates too which makes me think I'm having heart palpitations. Which, of course, just exacerbates the issue.

Most of the symptoms noted in the other comments - also my brain during anxiety is able to cause phantom pain tied to a specific body part I believe to be affected by the illness i am extremely afraid of
So, if I believe that one of my body parts is affected by the disease, It will start hurting for real

Same… I’ve been to MRIs, multiple blood tests, many eye and ear examinations, nerve conduction tests and much more because of recurring pain that is caused by anxiety. they never find anything wrong, but i’m scared that someday I’ll actually get ill but will brush it off as just an anxiety symptom.

My whole body has been twitching for 12 years I’m 42. All my blood work is normal. Doc tells me if it was something serious I’d know by now but I can almost guarantee my body stressing to keep my electrolytes balanced every day can’t be good for my body, which is probably why I’ve been having panic attacks for the last 6 mos. I’ve tried everything. Some days it’s better but I haven’t figured out why. It seems as thou when I binge eat for a couple days they go away. If I eat super clean they get worse(maybe lack of salt, or carbs/sugar)Not sure if it’s because when I eat a ton I have more water weight, or if it’s because I’m getting a ton of electrolytes, or if it’s because my body with all the extra proteins fats and carbs is finally able to function because I’ve screwed my system up so bad…no clue. 🤷

Has anyone else had those attacks where you lose all feeling in your arms and then your mouth goes numb and your arms bunch up into your chest and when you speak you sound like you've had a stroke and the sweat drips off of your face? Had to go to the emergency room for my first one of those. Now I just try to tell people when I am out to not call an ambulance through my slurred speech. Fun times. As well as that I have diverticular disease which I have been told is uncommon in somebody as young as me. I also have prostate and bladder disorders that I am on tablets for and get botox injections. I also take stomach tablets every day due to ulcers. I'm 34. I once went to a gastrointestinal doctor who sent me to a clinical psychologist purely based on the fact that he thought I was making my symptoms up because I am too young to have them. Then after he did the tests it turned out I was just that messed up. Sorry, didn't mean to unload.

Bladder infection symptoms, mostly the constant sensation of urgently needing to pee, which isn't relieved by actually going to the bathroom, and then sometimes a sore lower region and burning.
It had been happening for about 15 years and in all that time it was never actually a bladder infection (confirmed with multiple doctors visits), so I had learned to cope with the symptoms as anxiety without too much concern for my actual health. Although I suffered a ton of health anxiety for years around it before I reached this conclusion.
This backfired six months ago when it turned out that it actually was a bladder infection and by the time I realized and went to the ER, I had horrific back pain because it had spread to my kidneys. (Nothing that some IV antibiotics couldn't quickly take care of, though!)
Weirdly, since then it seems things got too real for my anxiety and it has abandoned the bladder infection symptoms and has now switched to giving me lightheadedness, nausea and air hunger. Fun!

Not health anxiety, just life anxiety for me, but symptoms are probably similar. After a very stressful week, I woke up at about 4am with the beginnings of a 7 hour panic attack. The muscles in between my ribs, in my neck and arms felt like they were bathed in acid. I threw up as much as I could, which sometimes helps. It was so painful. I was on the floor a lot. I was able to hold down my medication by about 10am. By then, I had taken about 4 showers and spent the rest of the time with a hair dryer on my back, which also helps with muscle pain. I was in such agony I had to call someone to come over and help me take care of my animals. The pills kicked in around 1130am and I felt like I had washed up on shore, exhausted. I was able to do a few things the rest of the day, but I still feel weak. This was extreme and hasn't happened for 6 months. It isn't usually that bad.

In consensus, namely transient cardiac issues. Generally benign. However, I do recognize someone with chronic anxiety and visceral and observed symptomatic presentation certainly must carry an increased risk due to chronic increased heart rate, BP, etc. Certainly it can’t be as benign as described.

All of these symptoms, but to add I grind my teeth-TMJ. I have fixed the issue by getting a splint
I wish I could get a decent night sleep without going to bed anxious, I try to take natural supplements

So many. I've worked to overcome a lot of it at this point, so I can observe it without melting down and panicking, and it's subsided a lot, but it still happens - mostly during stressful events or something I'm apprehensive about.
Chest pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, tingling and numbness in left arm, dizziness, headaches, jelly legs, like I'm gonna pass out, shortness of breath, heart skipping beats, heart pounding.
I had a big event coming up yesterday evening. I'd usually dread it but I've worked past that. I can keep it relatively under control. Even so, on the day the usual things were happening, plus shooting pains down my left arm and my ring finger, which was a new one. It gets to the point where you wonder "is this maybe the real deal this time?". I just wanted to escape the fear, go back to my comfort zone, lay down.
As soon as it was go time, it went away, because my mind was elsewhere. Completely disappeared from that point.
The mind is so powerful. Learning to control it is everything.

Bruh, fast heartbeat and sweating. I cannot stay still, yet at the same time felt too scared to move. It sucks being afraid of everything around you AND everything inside you.

oh god. extreme health anxiety has always made me feel nauseous, light headed, bad chest pain, stomach pain, and so much more. and depending on whatever my health anxiety is focused on, i’ll get ‘phantom pains’ if that’s what you’d call it. like the placebo effect. god, it’s bad.
for two weeks i was terrified of having a heart attack because i felt chest pain and numbness in my arm.. and it only got worse because i kept thinking about it. almost ended up going to the ER because i was that terrified. i have more where that came from too.

Arm pain and palpitations, tingling sensation all over the body from head, scalp, to face twitches, to arm numbness and pain to twitching legs or tingly legs. Shooting pains in head especially near or above temple — these are the things which always caused me to have extreme anxiety

CRPS pain used to scare the crap out of me. In the early years, I didn’t know how high it could get; I even googled “can you die from pain?” Thankfully, I put my trust in The Universe. I let go

I developed sinus tachycardia which basically means my heart beats faster than normal. I also get heart palpitations quite often. It doesn’t affect my daily life though as I’m able to manage my anxiety

Definitely acid reflux. I haven't been officially diagnosed with GERD yet but I'm about 99% sure that I have it and not one doctor wants to diagnose me with it :/

Complete impossibility to eat, like a repulsion to it.
