Anxiety shaking

[Greensheep242]

Is there any help a GP can give with shaking from anxiety. I am going through a stressful time and twice in discussions i have become overwhelmed

This is manifesting as phhsical shaking. My heart rate goes above 100 and I feel hot and cold. I tend to look clammy and pale but sometimes flushed. I can fall asleep and wakeup like this.

Sorry to hear you’re going through a stressful time.

The GP can definitely prescribe something to help with anxiety. You should see your GP anyway just to make sure there’s nothing else going on with you. Make an appointment as soon as you can.

There’s also some things you can try like deep breathing, meditation etc that can help you deal with anxiety. Lots of info online but your GP should be able to help with that too.

I hope you’re feeling better soon. 💐

Thanks. For the most part things seem ok and things like meditation and yoga help. I am finding the more violent shaking problamatic. Randomly also happened on the tube after holding on above my head.

Its the physical symtoms rather than the psychological ones I am finding the hardest.

Is there anything specific I can ask the GP for? I have an appointment on Friday and wanting to be preppared.

The sittuations causing the shaking are generally predictable. I would kind of like an off switch as worry that it won't ever stop

Many people find Propranolol very helpful for the physical symptoms of anxiety. Might be worth a try.

Thanks managing the physical impacts sounds useful. In the middle of one of these episodes I feel like there is something seriously phhsically wrong and I cant do anything to calm myself like pickup water.

With no particular anxiety this happened in the midle of the night. Now scared something else is going on.

Well go to the doctor op. Nobody can tell you on here what's going on

Should have said have booked a GP appointment but 22 April is earliest I can get. Not sure if more urgent than this.

I know this was a while ago but wondering how you got on @Greensheep242 ?
