Sensations in my whole body makes me pace all day

I need your help with my current problem. My problem is that I have this awful unbearable feeling in my whole body, pain inside my body and I feel forced to be constantly moving, pacing all day, almost every day. I feel extreme anxiety when it begins, this lasts for several days, then I get a few okay days and then it starts all over again. This is an unbearable painful situation. I need this to stop, I´m in hospital because of this. What could this be? Could it be anxiety? Is it possible to experience extreme anxiety in your whole body which makes it almost impossible to sit or stand still? They think it´s anxiety but I´m not so sure. Also I have a problem when swallowing, get these loud clicks, lots of them, in my gums, mouth and it´s driving me crazy, making me very anxious. If you know what that is please tell me.

addi78, I've not really heard of this stuff before. What are the doctors around you saying? If they aren't telling you much, then by all means ask them what they think is wrong with you. You have a right to know what they're thinking, after all. It could be related to many different things I believe. Anxiety can induce symptoms like the ones you're describing, but then why would you be anxious in the first place? - What have you been getting up to in your life?

They tell me it´s anxiety, the meds or both. They think I can´t tolerate pressure from social situations and worries about my health. I was thinking it might be Akathisia but I was put on Atenolol and it didn´t do much for me. As for the clicks I am told it´s normal but I don´t agree.

Hey again,

Those clicks could just be related to your actual body (specifically your jaw bones), and it might not be related to anxiety. Then again, maybe it is related somehow. Do you really feel as if you could have akathisia? I read that it is generally caused by an adverse reaction to medication. I think I had akathisia previously when I was given sleeping tablets. If that's what you have, then I know how terrible you are feeling right now. You should be more affirmitive with your doctors about getting treated. I doubt you want to continue much longer in the state you're in.
