Anxiety symptoms so physical?

[Simplemind]

I have a history of health anxiety and general stress. Since last week I have been have some bad episodes of palpitations and now seem to have this weird feeling of shaking inside pretty constantly. Also my body seems to keep twitching. Anyone else have similar symptoms. I know I'm going to have to go to the GP if it continues but now convinced its a brain tumour or some other neurological problem. I know I am hyperventilating alot. I just spoke to my mum on the phone and she said i sounded breathless. What are your physical symptoms?

The same. I only get the physical symptoms as you describe. Most irritating when you're in the middle of something.

It's just adrenalin not knowing what to do with itself, I take a beta blocker and it goes away.

Mine are exactly the same. Breathless, palpitations.
I have a heart murmur and 'mildly leaky' valve, and although I've been told it's nothing to worry about, I convince myself it's my heart, which then also makes my chest hurt, and I start sweating ( a lot!)
Shaking clumsy hands too.

Sorry you're feeling so bad.

Yes to palpitations and shaking. I also sweat and have racing thoughts. I have done cbt for anxiety and it was so helpful. Go to the doctor as they can refer you for cbt. Also any medication that can help you. You don't have to live like this.
