For the last 2 months I have acquired so many symptoms and doctor puts everyone down to anxiety. I try not to worry about them but they keep interfering with my life. Would love to know if anyone gets the same symptoms?

-I keep getting tightening in my throat like strangling and freak out my throat is closing,
-A bitter taste in my mouth,
-Tingling and burning in my mouth and on my tongue
-Feeling of hair stuck in my throat and in my mouth
-Dizziness and blurred vision
-Chest pains
-Squeezing feeling around heart

Anyone experience these?
Thanks

Hi

Yes I have experienced all those symptoms due to anxiety and many more which have caused me to worry greatly.

I would speak to your doctor about getting a referral to do some talking therapy such as CBT as this gets good results in helping you deal with anxiety symptoms so they don't have such an impact on your life.

It looks like your doctor is right, your symptoms most likely are coming from your anxiety. These are common signs of an anxiety disorder but don't be scared, you can overcome them.

Have you ever took a complete medical examination? If you didn't then you should because this way you will eliminate possible health problems that you might have and anxiety will remain the only reason for your symptoms.

Take care!

I have done 2 sessions of CBT but she's so booked up I have to wait a week in between each session which isn't very helpful. The doctor did all my bloods and they're all fine. I geuss with the tingly tongue and tightening throat I just keep thinking I'm having allergic reactions ;(

Hi

Glad to hear you doing some CBT you will find that useful in the long run and good to hear your blood work came back all clear. I get the tightening of the throat a lot and it's usually a sign that my anxiety is bad so I use Mindfulness meditation to help relax me and bring my anxiety back down.

All your symptoms sound like symptoms of anxiety. Also, the more you worry and panic about the symptoms you are feeling the more you will notice these sensations.

Hope you are feeling better soon turn
