Frustration about physical symptoms

Hi

I just wanted to share and hope that you share your physical symptoms that you experience with anxiety.

For me is mostly the chest pain, upper stomach region and between shoulder blades. I do also feel like that my body is going a thousand miles and can't relax. I do have GERD and a hiatal hernia so I guess the anxiety does not help.

I guess I am frustrated because some days are kind of normal and then some with the pain I feel like I am sick and cannot get it out of my head. And so many what if questions go through my head...

I generally feel a hard to describe sense of being 'off' I will be dizzy/floaty/off balance. I get numbness/tingly feeling sometimes. Palpitations, hot and cold flashes...general fearful thoughts of having a health episode/dying.

It is really hard to deal with, and exhausting, so I know your frustration.

Continuing to simultaneously treat the physical issue (GERD) with the anxiety will bring about the results you need.

I have much better management now than I did at the peak of my issues, so know there is hope, and progress will be made.

With encouragement,

S.C.
