Would anyone be able to share their anxiety symptoms please?
I definitely have health anxiety. There hasn't been a day since my second child was born 3 years ago I haven't thought something was wrong with me because I have physical symptoms of things ALL the time. During that time, been diagnosed with a cervical ectropion, overactive bladder, IBS (short lived), untreated sinusitis (literally thought I had a brain tumor), iron deficiency, folate deficiency and I now have several symptoms of autonomic dysfunction - so I do think the health anxiety is somewhere justified. Never had anything wrong at all until these last 3 years.
I've had periods of low blood pressure and feeling faint, a feeling of not being able to get my words out as if I'm momentairly paralysed, pins and needs in arms, legs, feet and hands, limb weakness, palpitations, tachycardia, ectopic beats, nausea, fatigue, temperature regulation issues, either freezing or sweating, muscle aches, brain fog, derealization, breathlessness, light/noise sensitivity, burning feet, one panic attack that I'm aware of, internal vibrations, tremors etc.
I now worry so much about going out for playdates etc as I always fear the worst will happen. I think my health anxiety has transfered to social anxiety as well as having all these symptoms that I think have a cause with no diagnosis.
The only thing that constantly comes back from blood tests is that I am iron deficienct if that's relevant but I feel like I'm dying of something almost every day. Can anyone relate?
