I have been told by a lot of my friends and loved ones that I seem to be suffering from anxiety. On a day to day basis my symptoms can change. One day I can have bad stomach spasms and very hot flashes with accompanying bad hot taste in mouth. Another day I can feel like there is a mucus type movement all around my body. It is beginning to really take control of my life (for the last 10 months or so) and I am at my wits end trying to figure out if it is anxiety or if there is something wrong with me. I also had a spell of burning sensation while going to the bathroom and random pains in penis and anus. I believe this may have been a urinary tract infection but not sure. Because I wasn't sure I did not see a GP and tried to ride it out. Has anybody else on this forum experienced these symptoms?

Thanks a million in advance for your reply :)

Hi deco and welcome.

I am sorry that you have not been feeling well. I know how frustrating and confusing it can be!

First step is to make a doctor's appointment and get a thorough health screening to rule out anything physical. If you have not done this within the last year, then make a call and get it set up.

If you have been given a physical recently, then you can probably assume that you are dealin with anxiety and its effects.


You can get started with some self help coping skills to get relief and lower your stress levels. Here are a few to get you started.

If you find that you need more help, talking with your doctor about treament options such as medication and therapy is a good move.

Keep talking with us as well. We understand and are here to listen anytime.

Hey there SC.

Thank you so much for your reply it is very much appreciated. I have had a few tests done but a full health screening seems like a great idea to rule out anything too serious, not that anxiety is not serious but anything physical I mean. Thanks so much for the links to the advice and will get working on them straight away. I will book a doctor's appointment and let you know how it goes...

Thanks again,

Deco

Apologies for the delay in writing back. I have been to the doctor and am awaiting full bloods and urine lab results. Blood sugar normal. It will be about 2 weeks so I will reply when I have been back to talk with the doctor. Thank you for your support.

Hi guys,

Sorry for late replies. I got results back and the doctor informed me that I had high cholesterol and calcium. I am on stomach acid tablets and imflammatory/painkiller tablets for my stomach also. They have not been a massive help but will be returning to the doctor tomorrow.

My main reason for posting today is to ask if anyone has ever had hot flushes all over their head that reach the brain? It is a very uncomfortable feeling and I am incredibly dizzy and light headed. It seems that there are a lot of issues I still must address with my GP but was just wondering if this has ever been an issue for anyone? I feel like I may drop at any minute.

Yes, I get that feeling and I hate it. How is your blood pressure?

It is very uncomfortable. Sorry you feel it too :/ any diagnosis for you on it or is it anxiety?
Blood pressure is normal as is blood sugar levels which I thought may have been low cos of feeling dizzy and faint but was fine

I have normal BP levels also, but I think mine is from anxiety cause I get it worse when under stress.
Posted 7/29/2014 6:14 PM (GMT 0)
I hear ya. I will be seeing the doc tomorrow again anyways so will mention to him. I have had a CT Brain scan and all that came back normal so I know there is nothing wrong in my head but thought other issues may be causing the feeling.
