Hi everyone.

Would like to know if this is common.

My anxiety has no psychological symptoms. I dont think bad thoughts or worry about anything. I dont think im going to die or anything like that i just get all the physical symptoms.

-tight chest
-breathless
-headaches
-dizzyness
-numbness
-racing heart

Is this normal? It all happened after i abused an illegal substance last year on a night out and had a vasospasm ans ended up in hospital. Stupid i know but ive learnt my lesson.

Steven,

Everything you are experiencing is definitely from anxiety. Hopefully your Prozac will help, also if you feel you are still having high anxiety, ask your Dr for a benzo. I take Clonazepam 2x a day and it is a faster acting medicine for anxiety. Your going to be talking to many well informed people on here, and the resources here are great. yeah

Also Steven, my anxiety is only physical also, no worrying thoughts, I just used to have the heart issues, and dizziness and a general feeling of panic. So what you're experiencing is normal.

Welcome to the club...I have the exact same symptoms as does most on here. The only thing I can tell you that might help you is... "stay away from Dr Google" We've all used him and what I've learned is you almost get a different answer to ever question you ask him and some that will make your symptoms even worse. Listen to the people on here, they understand as much as anyone and are good at talking you down.

Hi steven. I have anxiety. I shake and tremble inside my body. My hands tingle and hurt sometimes. My thighs to my feet tingle and burn. I don't have a appetite at all. Where do you get your numbness at? What part of your body? Do you tingle any where in your body? I am all ways tired. Hard to swallow sometimes. I am taking prozac and klonopin for anxiety. Misty

Hi Steven . Do you have tingle in your thighs and legs or just your feet. Are you on any medication at all? I am on prozac and klonopin. Do you shake or tremble inside your body? I am going to see a Psychiatrist today. I had anxiety in 2007. It went away it took about a year in a half. Now it came back worse. I am going to see the same psychiatrist today that help me. Do you get the chills and all ways feel cold? I have no appetite either. Misty
