What freaks me out, is that lots of my symptoms also seem to happen when im "relaxed" or when I think I'm not anxious, which then makes me think its not just anxiety, and then I get anxious again
have been going through this recently, since coming back from europe i’ve had some stress looking for another job and obviously been put under financial stress, it’s all been fine and manageable but the last few days I’ve started getting these random aches and pains all over my body, hand tingles, forearm pain, neck and back aches, wrist pain, leg pain, pain on the sides and top of my head, everywhere, and when everyone around me says it’s just because i’m anxious and stressed it is reassuring because I know it is probably true and i’ve been in a similar situation before and that was the outcome, however like yourself what plays on my mind is that i cannot comprehend how these physical symptoms are caused by stress and anxiety, like finger tingles and radiating pain in my forearms and under my jaw because of stress? it’s scary, but i’m going to the doctor next week for a check up basically for my peace of mind that it isn’t anything more serious, i keep telling myself it’s just stress, it’s ultimately about keeping my mind busy, exercise, trying meditation as silly as it may sound, and comfort things like movies or tv shows that distract me, i know it’s easier said than done but give these things a go or try to realise what distracts you! i’ve also been having these ashwagandha tablets twice a day and they have helped me calm down a bit as well! overall don’t feel like you’re alone in this because you’re definitely not!
Anxiety creates its own symptoms because we are used to it so it doesn't matter you feel relaxed or anxious .Anxiety will create symptoms unless you don't have chronic anxiety...

Brilliant explanation of the effects of stress manifesting itself in the body,and with all the comments of shared experience is of great comfort. I've managed to stay off antidepressants for 10 months now for the first time in 32 years. Every time I attempted to come off in the past,I couldn't make it past 6 months off due to protracted withdrawal. This time around 5 months mark,my body went into a complete chronic muscle tension phase. I too have thought I've had fybromyalgia in the past,and this time thought I must have stiff person syndrome. I literally could not move like a rusted up tin man,was in pain, couldn't get out of bed,rise from the sofa,bend over with so much back pain from a previous injury after a fall, exacerbated by the muscle tension.Thankfully after the 6 month mark it inproved greatly,but I still suffer with it all over my body from head to toe. Every muscle and every joint. It's going to take a long time using every anxiety/stress busting technique I now use to recover,while my brain readjusts to life without chemical intervention,and this video gives me the support to cope with it and carry on with recovery.

Omg yes! Anxiety does cause cause pain. I’ve had exacerbated sciatica pain, lower back pain, sharp shooting pain (I think it’s never pain) all over my body even behind my eyes and head😢ive also had episodes of horrible back muscle weakness/and aches it’s gotten so bad that it feels so heavy to carry my my body around.

Hi Liz I've a similar experience to you mainly in my lower back and weakness in legs. have been checked out loads but no real answers. I read Sarnos book a year ago and have improved hugely.

Muscles facia pain in shoulders armpits saw I'd throbbing everyday heal pain when get up some tingling but shoulders armpits all the time may move a bit but akqays there's was in my chest before this before that globus going in 6 years muscle pain
@@Truerealism747 I got rid of mine, had joint pain in all joints so bad I had difficulty walking. I had muscle relaxers prescribed by the psychiatry and took two, then they released and knowing I have pills to take should they come again, I feel better and they went but I had them for 7,5 months. I think this is from severe stress, deep repeated traumas and feeling as unsafe as one can. Are you alone in this aswell? I have noone. No fam, no relatives that care, no partner, no friends and just left an abusive contact three weeks ago. Have a counselor that thinks three weks out I should be sunshine and smiles. ..Right. I feel as depressed as I wanna leave this earth. Are you depressed or anxious? Did you read John E. Sarnos book "Healing back pain"?
I wish doctors were more open about this. I've been to the doctor and have explained this various times. Each time they say "oh its nothing, you're fine." Just be honest and say it's your anxiety! It took me a lot of trian and error to figure this out on my own.
Thank you so much! I love your video. I can relate to so many things you said, I used to think I was the only one who would get scared of showering due to my health anxiety. Wish you all the best. And hope everyone here recovers from health anxiety!❤
I have recently started thinking I have a blockage in my heart. Then it escalated to thinking I was going to have a pulmonary embolism. I googled and the more I googled, the more afraid I became. So now I’m having aches and pains. Especially in my rib cage. It almost feels like I can’t breathe at times at times there is so much tension there. But now I’m aching all over. I’ve just discovered these videos and they are helping calm me.
I have this r8ght now, I've just list my brother, I have had this pain start when we found out he had pancrius cancer, couple days later I had the pain thinking I've got the same , he passed within 5 weeks abd I'm still in pain I haven't grieved him properly because I'm full of nerves with this pain I can't breathe without it hurting 💔
I really needed to hear this right now. A year ago, I developed these mysterious aches in my hands and feet, which soon became full body pain and tenderness, jittery muscles, an elevated heart rate, and all sorts of nasty symptoms. In my frenzy to get an answer to what was wrong, I was misdiagnosed twice - once with pinched nerves, sending me to a baffled physical therapist who said that didn't make sense, and then with small fiber neuropathy by a "specialist" who said they didn't even need to test me, they just knew. I now have three scars on my legs from getting the skin biopsy with a neuromuscular specialist who did want to test me for it, and everything came back normal. For a few months now, I've been working on trying to relax and do the mental work to recover from anxiety but man, it's hard. There's that nagging voice in my head that always makes me wonder if it's actually fibromyalgia, even though none of the (many many) doctors I've seen over this past year have suggested it, and several of which whom had experience working with fibro patients and said they didn't think it was what I was going through. So long story short, hearing you say that you felt the same things and had the same worries was really comforting. Thank you.
Anyone have deep muscle pain especially in upper and lower thigh. It’s extremely sensitive to push on it. Both thighs in same place otherwise I’d think I had blood clot. Been going on a month.
I lost my husband recently and I feel like my grief has manifested in physical pain and anxiety. Aside from when it just happened and the funeral, most of the time when I cry is when I'm so anxious and panicked the only way to relieve myself is to cry. But I have all kinds of physical pains, my area is the neck and chest, so much so I am convinced I have some sort of respiratory issue and sometimes I get chest pain. But that how my husband died chest pain and heart palpitations were some of his symptoms. Sometimes I wish I would just stay in bed and just cry instead of this crippling anxiety that I get. But this video is super helpful, it's good to know I'm not alone.
I would also recommend getting your vitamin levels checked, and your electrolyte levels because a lot of them when they are in deficit will cause symptoms that mimic illnesses that aren’t even there
Thank you so much! I really needed this video today. I’ve been following breast cancer journeys on TikTok as one of my main health anxieties is breast cancer, and ever since I’ve been having constant aching pains in my boobs and armpit and I’m convinced it’s cancer. So strange how health anxiety can cause such real symptoms x
Been feeling joint pain in my body lately too. For a bit I thought that my life was over because I thought it was arthritis. But then I read on reddit that joint pain is one of the symptoms and I read some tips that if you focus on doing something else, the symptoms get reduced or disappear. So I tested that and the pain does get reduced or it disappears. If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take for the joint pain to go away for good?
@@arumugam-ok2lb I do! All of a sudden too! Like everywhere over the last month. It doesn’t hurt however and I think it’s just because I noticed it one day when in an anxious state then hyper focused on it. Had a whole autoimmune screen done including rheumatoid arthritis - all clear. I noticed it in my partner too. He clicks and pops a lot. I have started to heal from childhood trauma though in a somatic way. So focusing on the body to release the trauma as that’s where it gets trapped if not dealt with at the time. And I think that’s playing a part too. Running, stretching and doing yoga etc. But in general (I’m a nurse - the worst profession to be in with health anxiety 😆). If the crepitus isn’t causing pain, the area isn’t red or inflamed I wouldn’t worry. Anxiety can 100% cause it too with high adrenaline and cortisol and your nervous system being out of whack xx
@@beckiagnes2136Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the late because I haven't received any notification. Happy for you. I have multiple joint pain with cracking sound and my fingers stiff if I lift heavy weight. My crp and rf came back positive but they haven't measured the mm. Only result positive thatsall no exact measurement. My orthopedic said don't listen to this result and listen to me only and he provided me anxiety meds.
I’ve been suffering from joint pain for the past 2 weeks. I’ve had chronic anxiety for 6 years now and I’ve had soo many different symptoms. Just when I think I am getting better from one symptom a new one hits me and this joint pain is no joke, my back feels so tense and my arms and knees ache all day. I know it’s anxiety bc when I don’t have time to think about my aches and pains I feel perfectly normal and then I’m alone or relaxing and boom I’m in so much pain.
it's always a new one. Its crazy...I have ad the tingles, heartrate, back pain, now twitches again and leg muscle sore....this one is new. I keep telling myself I need to go to therapy....i cant keep repeating this cycle of feeling sick, then well, then sick again. Best.
This is how I feel right now and for the past 2-3 weeks. It takes such and affect on your body! I’m always thinking the worst thoughts bc of how I feel and it makes it worse
I'm just back in the door from the mental health team.they wanted to see me this morning. and I've had tinnitus and earworm since last June..they really have no answer for why I'm having musical hallucinations and ocd traits eg germs, religion ,anxiety concerns ..been following you for 4 months now and your videos help me alot ..thank you ..
@@cherellethinks yes it was youre video I found about the issue and it helped me so much knowing I wasn't alone ..but doctors are clueless about it .I sort of feel sorry for them as they are trying to understand but I can see they don't have a clue as what to say to me to help me cherelle..I just manage as best I can and hope it fizzles out one day 🙏
@@Rorymay22 hello mate. As a long time sufferer of tinnitus I can fully sympathy with you.. look up a guy called Julian Cowan hill on RUclips. Many would say he’s the leading man when it comes to this. He’s got 100’s of videos that helped me massively. Good luck
Ive been having the WORST neck issues and pains and weird sensations. MRI on friday but im 99.99% sure its all health anxiety related but it does not feel good.
hey I was watching your videos today because I’ve been having really weird muscle twitches and tingles, I’ve been to 2 doctors and done a mri test in just my legs the doctor say I have nothing but idk what I might have I also been having a bit of a weird feeling in throat and my speaking been a bit of Can all this be anxiety? and can the speaking part also be anxiety?
My pains are down the left hand side of my body. They are not localised and change throughout the day. Left chest, calf, thigh, arm, hand and back sometimes. They went away for a week and have returned again causing me to be worried and think I have to get to the dr. How can I book a session with you? It’s been a year now and I just want to heal I am done with it all x
Hi i been getting chonic pain all over my back this chrushing dull chonic pain sometimes i think i have cancer or really something bad w. Me. I get more on upper shoulder blade & sidd of my upper rib the most pain & moves all the time lower back anybody has those symp also please anybody help me
the worst anxiety is health anxiety because it keeps me thinking about if this pain is just anxiety or cancer.. there is no way to know for sure so it keeps my anxiety going. I have been worrying about several different kinds of cancers this year because of some symptoms. I noticed that the more anxious I am, more new symptoms I get. Googling symptoms has become my full time job.....anxiety probably kills me before cancer. Christ have mercy on us.
Keep strong my friend 💪 i've had anxiety for months now, with pain and twitches that doctors cant explain. But i felt in peace when giving all my worry to God, trying not to control everything and Googling everything. I told myself that whatever may happen it is in God's good plan
I'm always so darn stiff. Horrible pain in my legs. Twitching body wide. Just a deep deep deep tension throughout my body. Body cracking everywhere. Don't even feel like I'm anxious. Dr's can't figure it out. Lyme maybe. Maybe just awful anxiety I'm unware of. If I go for a run, I get pre-cramps all the time. Really sucks the fun out of life. 6 years and counting.
Oh man..I suspected rheumatoid arthritis aswell and it let up every time I took muscle relaxants, my doctor gave me a shot and it let up completely but I was still worried and am not convinced yet since I have symptoms that cant be explained by tensions like my one eye pussing and the other being runny outside. But I seriously hope its just tensions after 6 months it hurts so bad one cannot function. Like every joint is BURNING and being stung by needles along with someone occasionally banging them with a hammer. I also creak all over and 100 other things..
I am going through the same. I’ve been having joint pain for 2 weeks and out of no where all my bones started to creak, so weird I wonder why this happens
I stopped SSRI 5 months ago abruptly which caused my body to go into stress. And since then I got joint,. Nerve pain and now inflammation. Because bad things keep happening in my life and my body won't stop hurting. So I stress over that and it's just an evil cycle. I think I had all illnesses known to man by now,. In my mind....
Same Goes with me, I've been so anxious and depressed that if I visit any doc with any forms of pain they prescribed me SSRI I unknowingly took them for 3 months and stopped, I'm having constant chest pains, Nerve pains,muscle twitching and Muscle pains and weakness thereafter. 🥺
Can it cause breasts pain? I have been having it for weeks. I noticed that the pain normally strike when I am at work and when I think of my workload. I always imagine the worst scenario about this pain😢.
Was feeling that too for the past few days. Like one little worrisome thought and I would feel chest pain. It was new to me. I thought my symptoms had escalated. Went to the hospital to make sure it wasn't heart related and was told it was anxiety.
I've just had this, full body aches and pains in my joints and muscles for a week, I could only get down the stairs one step at a time, sideways. I got a cold straight after and waiting for that to go now.
Thank you im currently going through this right now I lost my mom to stage 4 breast cancer two days after my 33 birthday and for the first year I was in shock and was just numb but now I’m anxious more than I’m not so the stress is just building and building and I just hurt muscle twitching and spasms are probably my worst symptom which in turn is cause body aches in my literally all over my body and I feel like I’m going to loss it like you have said I have know pain when im anxious as soon as I’m anxiety stop all the symptoms slowly start going away and I feel like a 100% but I just don’t know how or what to do I know I definitely have to stop googling symptoms because that just makes it so much worse unfortunately at this point life just sucks but I know that my mom would not only want me to but would be disappointed if I even though about giving up and I know that suicide is never the option and isn’t even on the table plus I have Thanatophobia plus knowing that other people are having the same symptoms I’m having in some f’ed up way helps #NeverGiveUp
Hi Enjoyed your video. I’ve been in chronic all over body pain it’s hell especially in my face head all day everyday I’ve tried lots of medications but unfortunately they haven’t helped. I had a heart attack in April this year so had triple bypass pass. I lost my only daughter in May 22 it’s been difficult. My pain just won’t go away. I’ve even thought about suicide because living with pain everyday has changed me I’m so depressed don’t go out just focus on my pain. I can describe it in three words . Torture, Hell Suicide. I’ll not do any like that but it seems it’s me only way out. I just need some help to try and understand why all this pain it hell on earth. Thanks for reading
I do not know who needs to hear this but I’ve suffered from permanent bellyaches for a year and I was convinced it’s something crazy wrong with me turns out it was health anxiety
What pain do you havw ans whats opposite to asperger's i diemr no until 43 ime hypermobile to are you hypermobile? Minee constant muscle pain years.now
I can get achey normally anyway as im quite a big girl but since my health anxiety kicked in due to my mum being diagnosed with cancer its been horrendous, The months before my anxiety started i went to rome and was walking around all day with no pain but since my anxiety started i cant even go up the stairs without my knees hurting or getting out of bed without my back or hips hurting, Even my skin is hurting thats how bad it is, I have had a blood test for autoimmune diseases as I'm convinced i have lupus or fibromyalgia or ss just waiting for the results
How are you now?? I m also suffering and google is saying that i have polymyositis.. I m just dying.. visited alot of psychiatrists..neurologists.. but no one is understanding my symptoms.. all said that i have somatoform disorder..dont know what to do 😢😢
I know I'm alittle stressed at work considering I'm a tire technician so alot of bending lifting I've had health anxiety in the past 4 years from having panic attacks my ck test feom doctors said was elevated I was a bit dehydrated been having muscles pains for alittle while so I think it's a combination of things of course you ask Google it gives you the worst information but the pains are literally traveling from place to place with pain n spasms anyone ever get this or have this I'm guessing by this video alot of us do
@@stormyXwrld i was soo soo stressed that i was stuck to the sofa…entire body was aching even my teeth, i just couldn’t stand on ground….felt like crying out loud and helpless, my husband came home talked a little and slowely after hours i felt better😔
I have read extremely similar symptoms. Kind of actually connected. Even something called myofacial pain syndrome is like the same as the two mentioned.
This video really describes my situation very well right know. Being like this for many months now, start from last years go to clinic everything was normal. Many blood test, ecg, nothing it just normal. Until my dr refer me to psychiatrist. But i am not get any call since my phone no was wrong lol. They call many times but no answers. But finally i go back to clinic and they set me up for appointment next week. Hopefully i gonna recover from this i am tired already, everyday when i woke up i have to handle with body pain urghhh. I am sick of this overthinking that make me think i may got serious illness like my mom she have arthritis ramotoid my simptom also like her and crying until my chest in pain because i think that my life just gonna end up like this? I gonna die like that even i am not doing anything yet emm
Are you serious? Wow. I was watching your twitching videos and now I'm watching your pain videos bc I have been having Calves muscles, joints, and knee pains. Wow. Now, I do have a slight history of it bc of my footwork and me constantly being on my feet walking but still, this plus the twitches is sending me in an uproar. Like Wow.
I just want to thank you for existing. You have really truly gotten me through this whole day today… had an ultrasound and just keep remembering all you say. Lots of upper back pain the last week leading up to my appointment. Chest pain, dizziness, dissocation-y feelings and such. I have TMJ which is stress induced. Nothing serious. (In reality) Causes headaches and tension in my jaw also. I found your videos yesterday and I’m grateful. 🥲
hey, I have also have that, causing me tension headaches. be sure to put a mouth guard while sleeping ,and work on relaxing your mind during the day. Right now i m having some sore muscles in my legs and twitches, the twitches are not smth new but the sore muscles are...leatning to accept them :)
What freaks me out, is that lots of my symptoms also seem to happen when im "relaxed" or when I think I'm not anxious, which then makes me think its not just anxiety, and then I get anxious again
Sameee as soon as I’m relaxed they start to creep up and then I worry and it only makes it worse. But lowkey that kinda shows that it’s anxiety

@@Truerealism747 I got rid of mine, had joint pain in all joints so bad I had difficulty walking. I had muscle relaxers prescribed by the psychiatry and took two, then they released and knowing I have pills to take should they come again, I feel better and they went but I had them for 7,5 months.
I think this is from severe stress, deep repeated traumas and feeling as unsafe as one can. Are you alone in this aswell? I have noone. No fam, no relatives that care, no partner, no friends and just left an abusive contact three weeks ago. Have a counselor that thinks three weks out I should be sunshine and smiles. ..Right. I feel as depressed as I wanna leave this earth. Are you depressed or anxious?
Did you read John E. Sarnos book "Healing back pain"?
I wish doctors were more open about this. I've been to the doctor and have explained this various times. Each time they say "oh its nothing, you're fine." Just be honest and say it's your anxiety! It took me a lot of trian and error to figure this out on my own.
Thank you so much! I love your video. I can relate to so many things you said, I used to think I was the only one who would get scared of showering due to my health anxiety.
Wish you all the best. And hope everyone here recovers from health anxiety!❤
I have recently started thinking I have a blockage in my heart. Then it escalated to thinking I was going to have a pulmonary embolism. I googled and the more I googled, the more afraid I became. So now I’m having aches and pains. Especially in my rib cage. It almost feels like I can’t breathe at times at times there is so much tension there. But now I’m aching all over. I’ve just discovered these videos and they are helping calm me.
I have this r8ght now, I've just list my brother, I have had this pain start when we found out he had pancrius cancer, couple days later I had the pain thinking I've got the same , he passed within 5 weeks abd I'm still in pain I haven't grieved him properly because I'm full of nerves with this pain I can't breathe without it hurting 💔
So much pain all over for months and no relief... :( I hope it can end one day. I'm praying.
I really needed to hear this right now. A year ago, I developed these mysterious aches in my hands and feet, which soon became full body pain and tenderness, jittery muscles, an elevated heart rate, and all sorts of nasty symptoms. In my frenzy to get an answer to what was wrong, I was misdiagnosed twice - once with pinched nerves, sending me to a baffled physical therapist who said that didn't make sense, and then with small fiber neuropathy by a "specialist" who said they didn't even need to test me, they just knew. I now have three scars on my legs from getting the skin biopsy with a neuromuscular specialist who did want to test me for it, and everything came back normal. For a few months now, I've been working on trying to relax and do the mental work to recover from anxiety but man, it's hard. There's that nagging voice in my head that always makes me wonder if it's actually fibromyalgia, even though none of the (many many) doctors I've seen over this past year have suggested it, and several of which whom had experience working with fibro patients and said they didn't think it was what I was going through.
So long story short, hearing you say that you felt the same things and had the same worries was really comforting. Thank you.
Anyone have deep muscle pain especially in upper and lower thigh. It’s extremely sensitive to push on it. Both thighs in same place otherwise I’d think I had blood clot. Been going on a month.
Cherelle just wanted to let you know your channel has been somewhat of a godsend. I have no diagnosis yet but I am hoping it is anxiety. Thank you,.
I lost my husband recently and I feel like my grief has manifested in physical pain and anxiety. Aside from when it just happened and the funeral, most of the time when I cry is when I'm so anxious and panicked the only way to relieve myself is to cry. But I have all kinds of physical pains, my area is the neck and chest, so much so I am convinced I have some sort of respiratory issue and sometimes I get chest pain. But that how my husband died chest pain and heart palpitations were some of his symptoms. Sometimes I wish I would just stay in bed and just cry instead of this crippling anxiety that I get. But this video is super helpful, it's good to know I'm not alone.
Do you have this everyday
@@Truerealism747 I don't. And I'm not really exhibiting much of these symptoms so often now
@@yasib6721 that's great for you
I would also recommend getting your vitamin levels checked, and your electrolyte levels because a lot of them when they are in deficit will cause symptoms that mimic illnesses that aren’t even there
All my muscles are on fire from a recent stressful event that went on for a couple weeks. 😢
Thank you so much! I really needed this video today. I’ve been following breast cancer journeys on TikTok as one of my main health anxieties is breast cancer, and ever since I’ve been having constant aching pains in my boobs and armpit and I’m convinced it’s cancer. So strange how health anxiety can cause such real symptoms x

I was so glad to find this video!! Definitely in the category of feeling like a mac truck hit me when I wake up in the morning and most of the day.
Headaches
Eye pressure
Stomach bloating pain
Muscle pain and twitching
Numbness and tingling in arms hands and legs and feet
I’ve been dealing with the same symptoms. It’s overwhelming 😢 I hope we both find relief ❤
Same!!!
Same but my pain in the right side of my body 😢
Been feeling joint pain in my body lately too. For a bit I thought that my life was over because I thought it was arthritis. But then I read on reddit that joint pain is one of the symptoms and I read some tips that if you focus on doing something else, the symptoms get reduced or disappear. So I tested that and the pain does get reduced or it disappears. If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take for the joint pain to go away for good?
Mines in muscles facia ever in shoulders armpits
Do you have crepitus in joints too??
@@arumugam-ok2lb I do! All of a sudden too! Like everywhere over the last month. It doesn’t hurt however and I think it’s just because I noticed it one day when in an anxious state then hyper focused on it. Had a whole autoimmune screen done including rheumatoid arthritis - all clear. I noticed it in my partner too. He clicks and pops a lot.
I have started to heal from childhood trauma though in a somatic way. So focusing on the body to release the trauma as that’s where it gets trapped if not dealt with at the time. And I think that’s playing a part too. Running, stretching and doing yoga etc.
But in general (I’m a nurse - the worst profession to be in with health anxiety 😆). If the crepitus isn’t causing pain, the area isn’t red or inflamed I wouldn’t worry. Anxiety can 100% cause it too with high adrenaline and cortisol and your nervous system being out of whack xx
@@beckiagnes2136Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the late because I haven't received any notification. Happy for you. I have multiple joint pain with cracking sound and my fingers stiff if I lift heavy weight. My crp and rf came back positive but they haven't measured the mm. Only result positive thatsall no exact measurement. My orthopedic said don't listen to this result and listen to me only and he provided me anxiety meds.
How are you now
I’ve been suffering from joint pain for the past 2 weeks. I’ve had chronic anxiety for 6 years now and I’ve had soo many different symptoms. Just when I think I am getting better from one symptom a new one hits me and this joint pain is no joke, my back feels so tense and my arms and knees ache all day. I know it’s anxiety bc when I don’t have time to think about my aches and pains I feel perfectly normal and then I’m alone or relaxing and boom I’m in so much pain.
it's always a new one. Its crazy...I have ad the tingles, heartrate, back pain, now twitches again and leg muscle sore....this one is new. I keep telling myself I need to go to therapy....i cant keep repeating this cycle of feeling sick, then well, then sick again. Best.
This is how I feel right now and for the past 2-3 weeks. It takes such and affect on your body! I’m always thinking the worst thoughts bc of how I feel and it makes it worse
I'm just back in the door from the mental health team.they wanted to see me this morning. and I've had tinnitus and earworm since last June..they really have no answer for why I'm having musical hallucinations and ocd traits eg germs, religion ,anxiety concerns ..been following you for 4 months now and your videos help me alot ..thank you ..
I’m so sorry. I had a musical ear worm for 4 months in 2019. I can fully empathise with you because it was so awful. ♥️
@@cherellethinks yes it was youre video I found about the issue and it helped me so much knowing I wasn't alone ..but doctors are clueless about it .I sort of feel sorry for them as they are trying to understand but I can see they don't have a clue as what to say to me to help me cherelle..I just manage as best I can and hope it fizzles out one day 🙏
@@Rorymay22 hello mate. As a long time sufferer of tinnitus I can fully sympathy with you.. look up a guy called Julian Cowan hill on RUclips. Many would say he’s the leading man when it comes to this. He’s got 100’s of videos that helped me massively. Good luck

My pains are down the left hand side of my body. They are not localised and change throughout the day. Left chest, calf, thigh, arm, hand and back sometimes. They went away for a week and have returned again causing me to be worried and think I have to get to the dr.
How can I book a session with you? It’s been a year now and I just want to heal I am done with it all x
Hi! How are you doing? I think im going through something similar and it's a scaring me
Hi i been getting chonic pain all over my back this chrushing dull chonic pain sometimes i think i have cancer or really something bad w. Me. I get more on upper shoulder blade & sidd of my upper rib the most pain & moves all the time lower back anybody has those symp also please anybody help me
Anyone get pain in there jaws and teeth when really stressed and panicking
Yes this is my main anxiety physical symptom
the worst anxiety is health anxiety because it keeps me thinking about if this pain is just anxiety or cancer.. there is no way to know for sure so it keeps my anxiety going. I have been worrying about several different kinds of cancers this year because of some symptoms. I noticed that the more anxious I am, more new symptoms I get. Googling symptoms has become my full time job.....anxiety probably kills me before cancer. Christ have mercy on us.
Keep strong my friend 💪 i've had anxiety for months now, with pain and twitches that doctors cant explain. But i felt in peace when giving all my worry to God, trying not to control everything and Googling everything. I told myself that whatever may happen it is in God's good plan

Hey bro how are you doing? Do you still experience those sympthons? I am experiencing the same and have serious health anxiety 😢
@@JDeanBeats-nr3bs I am doing the same sadly.
Oh man..I suspected rheumatoid arthritis aswell and it let up every time I took muscle relaxants, my doctor gave me a shot and it let up completely but I was still worried and am not convinced yet since I have symptoms that cant be explained by tensions like my one eye pussing and the other being runny outside. But I seriously hope its just tensions after 6 months it hurts so bad one cannot function. Like every joint is BURNING and being stung by needles along with someone occasionally banging them with a hammer. I also creak all over and 100 other things..
I am going through the same. I’ve been having joint pain for 2 weeks and out of no where all my bones started to creak, so weird I wonder why this happens
Anxiety causes no sleep. So no relaxation. We keep entire body stiff always so it causes tiredness fatigue head ache body pain dizziness etc etc
I have this really badly, daily dizziness especially
I stopped SSRI 5 months ago abruptly which caused my body to go into stress. And since then I got joint,. Nerve pain and now inflammation. Because bad things keep happening in my life and my body won't stop hurting. So I stress over that and it's just an evil cycle. I think I had all illnesses known to man by now,. In my mind....
Same Goes with me, I've been so anxious and depressed that if I visit any doc with any forms of pain they prescribed me SSRI I unknowingly took them for 3 months and stopped, I'm having constant chest pains, Nerve pains,muscle twitching and Muscle pains and weakness thereafter. 🥺

How do you stop anxiety? How do you not think about that poking feeling maybe on head or chest?
Can it cause breasts pain? I have been having it for weeks. I noticed that the pain normally strike when I am at work and when I think of my workload. I always imagine the worst scenario about this pain😢.
Hey m going through this .. breast pain is horrible
Same! I have this pain in my right for a month now
I had sharp pains in my chest when I was worrying and having anxiety.
Was feeling that too for the past few days. Like one little worrisome thought and I would feel chest pain. It was new to me. I thought my symptoms had escalated. Went to the hospital to make sure it wasn't heart related and was told it was anxiety.
I've just had this, full body aches and pains in my joints and muscles for a week, I could only get down the stairs one step at a time, sideways. I got a cold straight after and waiting for that to go now.
I am having pains all over my body today. It is not fun. I wonder how long it will go on. I have been checked by doctors. They think I am fine.
Can anxiety cause muscle twitches?
Yes

Hello. Love your videos. Did you ever have rib cage pain?
Thank you im currently going through this right now I lost my mom to stage 4 breast cancer two days after my 33 birthday and for the first year I was in shock and was just numb but now I’m anxious more than I’m not so the stress is just building and building and I just hurt muscle twitching and spasms are probably my worst symptom which in turn is cause body aches in my literally all over my body and I feel like I’m going to loss it like you have said I have know pain when im anxious as soon as I’m anxiety stop all the symptoms slowly start going away and I feel like a 100% but I just don’t know how or what to do I know I definitely have to stop googling symptoms because that just makes it so much worse unfortunately at this point life just sucks but I know that my mom would not only want me to but would be disappointed if I even though about giving up and I know that suicide is never the option and isn’t even on the table plus I have Thanatophobia plus knowing that other people are having the same symptoms I’m having in some f’ed up way helps #NeverGiveUp

(In reality) Causes headaches and tension in my jaw also. I found your videos yesterday and I’m grateful. 🥲
hey, I have also have that, causing me tension headaches. be sure to put a mouth guard while sleeping ,and work on relaxing your mind during the day. Right now i m having some sore muscles in my legs and twitches, the twitches are not smth new but the sore muscles are...leatning to accept them :)
