Anxiety physical symptoms

Deleted User

I've suffered from anxiety all my life but recently the physical symptoms are becoming difficult to live with.

I get lightheaded and walking becomes hard, every step feels heavy but unbalanced at the same time and I have to move slowly or I feel like I'm going to fall.

Pressure in my head as well, partly the anxiety but also sinus issues too because of pollen.

And I'm exhausted, literally drained of energy and just want to sleep. Result of the anxiety. Also result from trauma from a few years ago when I went through a mental breakdown after losing my mum.

And all of this has triggered my health anxiety.

Please give me a break!!!!!

Why can't anxiety just leave me alone?

  • Hi,

    Anxiety can definitely cause symptoms like the ones you've described, but so can a bunch of other things, such as anemia and hyper or hypothyroidism. And if it's affecting your daily life this much then if you haven't already, I strongly recommend talking to your GP and maybe see if they will offer you a blood test to check that physiologically everything is okay, which might ease your health anxiety too. and because it sounds like it got worse recently they may offer some new help to deal with the worsened symptoms you're dealing with.
