Hey. So I have suffered anxiety my whole life - sometimes it's worse than other times. I have been through really bad patches, particularly focused on health anxiety. I usually manage it by exercising and trying my best to live in the present moment. So far, I haven't needed medication. My son was born a year ago and I managed pregnancy quite well, not too many anxious episodes. The birth, however, was really traumatic and kicked my health anxiety off big style - I had to speak to a crisis team afterwards as I was convinced I was going to die. My body felt broken and I started getting panic attacks at night. Fast forward a year abs I've pretty much been anxious the whole time - scared I'm going to get poorly and leave my son, terrified he's going to get poorly - not to mention covid 🙄. I managed to get covid a month ago and my anxiety spiralled - it was like I was just sitting waiting to get so sick I had to go to hospital. Thankfully, it was quite mild but I have started to get some very worrying symptoms afterwards. I can't really tell if they're due to severe anxiety or post covid 🤷🏼♀️. I am so dizzy, headaches, heart palpitations, tight chest, weak and wobbly, fatigued, off balance etc. can severe anxiety make you feel so physically poorly? I am, obviously, convincing myself I have some sort of heart/lung/brain problem due to long covid. I attempted to go to the shop before and I was just so out of breath and the place was spinning - yet when I'm in my home environment and doing relaxation apps etc everything seems to get better. Then I start to do housework etc and I'm worse again 🤷🏼♀️ I just don't know what to do x
