Can anxiety cause symptoms like these? (First post)

Postby khryme1337 » Sat Dec 03, 2016 1:30 am

Hi. My symptoms started in May 2016. I had some weird pressure in my chest,but I thought that eas because I stopped working out from one day to another. Then I had some panic attacks, but I thought I had problems with my heart so I went for an EKG two times, doctor said my heart has no problems. Then in July right after my high school exams, after my birthday I had two attacks, I suddenly lost my power, felt very dizzy and had to sit down. The day after I started being dizzy non-stop. Yes,literally had dizziness for three weeks. Meanwhile those three weeks I have had an analysis at a ENT - nothing found. Full blood analysis - negative. My neurologist told me to go for a brain MRI to search if i have multiple sclerosis. In the results they have found some really tiny damages, but they said that there is nothing sclerosis specific. Then my dizziness just went away. Now I moved to another city because of university, I am having a weekly meeting with my psichologist, I kind of feel better now, but I still have symptoms: fatigue, sudden weak dizziness, and I have a new symptom : headaches in different points in my head and also I feel a pressure in it. And my hands were shaking years before,but now it is intensified. Somewhere deep inside I know that these symptoms are caused by anxiety, but I sinply can not stop thinkig every single day and every single hour that I have some serious organic disorder,and my thought are like: what if meanwhile I try to get over my anxiety I have an organic disorder what I don't know about and I'm gonna die because of it. I would like to know if this is normal for a GAD person. Even though I had the MRI scan, because of my symptoms I am afraid all the time that I have brain tumour or multiple sclerosis. I am truly afraid of it. And one more thing: I can only sleep on my back, if I turn away in any positions, in a few seconds I start feeling weak and dizzy and this is freaking me out aswell.

I've had various odd physical symptoms/sensations over the years, most of which I think are anxiety related. They come, and go.

It seems to me that you might be suffering from some stress due to moving away to university. I am assuming you are in Canada or the UK. Are you male or female? The symptoms you are describing fit in with anxiety, especially since medical tests have ruled out anything really wrong with you. I think you would benefit from an anti-anxiety med and you should ask for one.

I'm actually from Romania. And since I moved I feel better, I started a therapy with a psychologist and those therapies helped a lot, but I haven't seen my psycholog in 2 months and I'm feeling terrible right now. My hands and feet are weak, I always think that I suffer in multiple sclerosis. And in the past days/weeks my mood has changed, I'm always thinking negative and starting to have depressive thoughts. I'm on vaca right now, but as soon as I go back to uni I'll continue the therapy and hopefully I'll feel better again.
