Are These Symptoms of Anxiety? Posted: 01-24-06 19:13pm
Hi, i'm new here. Can anyone tell me if
they have experienced the following
symptoms due to aniexty?
Recurring non itchy raised spots on chest
that come and go within hours.
Neck pain.
Aches and pains in forearms and chest.
I am a worrier. I have been stressing
for the past 2 months about my health. I
have been to the doctor every week and
nothing seems to be wrong. When I leave
to office, I am happy and reassurred and
then a couple of days later, I am worried
again. I can't help thinking that "maybe
they don't know what they are talking
about"
i hate this. It is ruining my life.
Am I alone?

You're not alone on that. I will be okay
for a few days and then my symptoms will
come back. I used to get arm and chest
pain a lot, and I know a lot of other
people get the neck pain too. I'm not
sure about the spots though, I haven't had
those.

Hi
you are not alone with how you feel - none
of us are.
I too have symptoms like you, the
aches/pains in the forearms and chest and
have had one big panic attack and a few
minor ones in the past few weeks. Like
you i'm stressing over how I constantly
feel just not so good and I guess that
probably doesnt help.
As for your 'non-itchy raised spots' that
sounds like something called urticaria
(sp), my mum suffers from that and usually
when she's stressed and her dr told her to
take antihistamine to relieve it and clear
it, it may not be that but it sounds very
similar.

My Experience Posted: 01-28-06 14:07pm
Hi
in my experience, just learning that the
symptoms I was having
(including frequent nervousness , racing
heartbeat, a sense of dread and social
disconnect, thinking I was losing my mind)
were actually a result of anxiety was an
important part of my recovery.
I was then able to begin reducing the
severity of my anxiety by exercising
vigorously and regularly, and cutting out
caffeine.
I've also done a couple anxiety programs,
most notably www.Selftherapy.Org -
which was extremely effective. But given
that this is such a common problem, there
are also many other options for
dealing with anxiety.

Arm Pain & Everything Else Posted: 08-03-06 11:50am
I get left arm pain it worry's me alot. I
have had all my up to date doctors
appointment everything fine. Except I was
diagnosed with gad. I was fine too after
each doctor appointment but cannot seem to
get away from thinking that all the aches
and pains are related to some other
problem.
My husband doesn't know what to think. I
want my life back.
