Head pressure is the worst! Some days it feels like someone poured cement in my head and it dried up
Absolutely 100% relate with the dizziness and losing focus in eyesight. Feels like walking on a ship. Ground never feels solid, like you gonna topple over....Intense discomfort and feeling of energy drain and emptiness in stomach area, specifically the Colon area...Absolutely hate it...🤕😵💫🤢😖 My chronic fatigue feels like Lyme disease levels... 🤒🤢😰
This is me right now!
@@lozb1631 🤦🏼♂️🤝🏻🙏🏻😑
This seems to be the main symptom and chronic fatigue. Trying to work on this so I start going places and doing things again
I feel this sympthoms right now
Does your dizziness ever feel like it affects your neck?
Muscle twitching was the worst symptom that caused me to worry. And also body jolts as I’d try to fall asleep
I feel like when people are talking to me it’s like I’m somewhere else I can’t really explain it but it totally freaks me out.
Holy crap I thought I was having actual health problems but no it all is coming from anxiety
As someone with hypertension, the head pressure is the scariest for me because I always think it is my blood pressure being too high. I should mention that I struggle with medical anxiety, and the number one concern is always my BP.
Many of us will be able to relate I'm sure.
You are not alone. I am right there with you. 😊
I have a pressure in my head and neck (plus some heaviness in chests) when my BP is high
I feel the same way
@@TheAnxietyGuy1I have internal buzzing body 24/7, body zaps body jerks for 3yrs...
My stomach lets me know all sorts. Its constant panic in my stomach

You are explaining me in an unbelievably accurate text.😮
Absolutely can relate to all the symptoms. The very first thing is getting dizzy and lightheaded. Everything feels surreal. Then almost immediately my heart stops pounding and at the same time my head and body feels hot. Absolutely the most frightening feeling ever. And after 12-14 yrs im finally learning to accept my anxiety and learning to go with the flow. It’s the way my body is trying to keep me safe I guess. And I talk to my anxiety. I tell it thank you for warning me but im okay. And to leave as soon as possible.. it’s helped me so much.
Mine:
1- existential dread & feeling creeped out about everything to the degree I was afraid to be alone (monophobia) and I couldn’t make sense of what it meant to “live a day”.
2- IBS:D symptoms. Frequently visits to bathroom with little movements, churning guts, sweats
3- acid veins or aka ice in the veins often associated with panic attacks from the adrenaline and cortisol release. Feeling it burning my scalp and arms
4- fatigue without the ability to rest without panic attacks or intense jolts & rushes
5- dissociation so bad I had vertigo and couldn’t drive
6- sweaty feet 24/7 my feet felt like they were swimming constantly
Did you ever see static? That visual snow stuff? Or any other visual symptoms?
Breathing issues for me 100%, makes me feel vulnerable as. - and dry heaving during panic episodes
Ay ive done the dry heaving and its not fun. Pure panic mode . Mine comes with sweaty palms n feet as yr body is in shock
I would say my worst of which there are many are dizziness, chest pressure like it is going to burst, a resting pulse of 120 some days, dry gagging is bad, disassociation unable to communicate, crying for no reason, leg weakness like i will collapse, spasm in the throat and blurry vision. The issue is the symptoms are so scarry that they in themselves trigger a panic response and your now in the never-ending loop. How do you train your brain that dizziness, blurred vision, weak legs and vomiting is something to not be concerned about when everything we ever learn teaches us those symptoms are a stroke/heart attack. That is what holds me back from recovery
"We don't want to bully our symptoms into healing."
WOW. I really needed to hear that today! ❤
Thank you so much for continuing to share your wisdom with us 🙏💫✨
Very welcome and thank you for connecting.
I can absolutely relate but the chronic fatigue is the worst for me. Today has been tough!
Sorry to hear, let this channel guide.
Since 2020 I have been suffering from health anxiety with symptoms - breathing discomfort, constant discomfort in my throat, gastric, indigestion, dizziness, fear of death... I have visited doctors several times.. all reports are Normal, my heart beat is normal. I'm trying my best to get rid of these terrible symptoms. Watching from India. 😢 Please upload guidance videos regularly Sir
I'm from banglore india
I'm facing this from
1year and 3 months
I have muscle weakness , fatigue, chest tightness almost all the time, severe Ibs symptoms, dizziness, off balance, chest pain and palpitations, hyperventilating restless leg syndrome muscle tension
It is hard to believe that it's just anxiety
I'm not even able to fix my lifestyle
I'm a Pharm D ( doctor of Pharmacy) intern, while I have so much to do in internship my anxiety is affecting it
Hope I will heal soon
Relate to depersonalisation, terrifying mixed with health anxiety…brain fog, forgetfulness, feeling intense waves of faintness, some muscle twitching, cognitive function poor - generally feeling like someone has turned my brain off…the pressure…this is just a tiny part of the journey but also such a huge huge part and so debilitating. Sending so much compassion to those on this healing journey, it is so courageous to embark on it but we are doing it. Patience truly is an art. Thank you so much Dennis, always🙏✨💗
My brain fog has an added dreamlike state with ringing in the ears along with a few other symptoms. It's been 24/7 months of this.
The depersonalisation and dizziness can last for days, it's terrible when I'm out I public or at work, it leads onto panic attacks
Years even..
I have stiffness in jaw stomach and fast palpitations and sudden fear I wanted to thank you for helping people it’s very beautiful
Our pleasure!
I have had dizziness and depersonalization and during panic attacks I would get numb on half of body. That caused me to have echocardiogram and treadmill stress test which were normal as well as CT scan and MRI that were normal. Also had muscle twitching, which I had for years before the other symptoms came. My hands and feet would tingle and BURN all the time. went to see a neurologist and they found a little neuropathy and possibly peripheral vascular disease but nothing too alarming. I had head pressure like you that I thought sinus meds or migraine meds would help, but they didn't. Also had chronic fatigue. Definitely had muscle stiffness and blurry vision. Blurry vision was worse any time I left my house. I was sensitive to light and sound. Stomach sensations as well as sensations in my private area. Like butterflies there and in my limbs as well. Another symptom was random racing heart beat and elevated blood pressure. Which would cause me to panic and just become worse. Went to the emergency room TWICE over this. Also, I've noticed that when I practice mindfulness or meditation with my eyes closed, I have snow, spots and visual disturbances in my vision when I open my eyes. This may be related to something else. Ultimately I'm getting better little by little and day by day. I've had untreated anxiety all my life but just started having panic attacks and constant physical symptoms this past May. Many things are helping. Counseling, your advice, and treatment for several conditions. For anxiety, I'm on Lexapro. I used to have to take a clonazapam every day but it's been weeks at this point. I take gabapentin for some neurological symptoms. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea which causes similar symptoms so I'm on cpap for that. I was discovered to have low vitamin d, so I'm taking that as well as some b complex and magnesium. It's a journey, but I will get there.
I've also experienced everything you said, and for me, I feel so weird with the head pressure, and I think that it's a brain aneurysm or tumor. I'm so stressed about my health
Hi how are you feeling now? I have all the symptoms and especially dpdr and The ttingling sensation on the body make my anxiety worse thinking i am having some kind of seizures any tips how to overcome thing?
The dizziness and lump in the throat was there for years. It all went away when I started on my recovery road (it did take a while). Thanks for all you do, Dennis.
Glad to hear the progress.
How your dizziness recovery plz hlp am very tension past 2 years 24 /7 hour dizziness vertigo plzz hlp
Did you ever see static? That visual snow stuff?
My main symptoms are very tight chest/throat muscles which makes me feel short of breath and dizzy. I can consciously relax them but then they tighten right back up. Just started listening to your videos and they're so helpful!
Dizziness by a mile was the worst feeling it's driving me insane 😢
Yes I get the trembling it's really bad
I relate to the shaking, trembling and stiffness. I have stiffness on my ears mouth jaw. It's horrible
Were you able to control your shaking? I am terribly shaking rn and my left hand is so numb, it is weak. Is there any cure for this other than relaxing cuz I can't seem to calm down much at times.
Get medicated
Get a quality pillow
Pretty much all of them except the dizziness.
So glad it's been gone for a while now❤
Anyone get internal tremors?
All the time
YES CHRONIC FATIGUE WAS SO STRONG!!! I feared even more of waking up in fatigue. because i felt I would be stuck in fear of the fatigue.
Dizziness is what started it all for me 9 years ago. It’s 24/7. Some days are worse than others. It just won’t go away
I so relate to dizziness which is creating a vicious cycle of anxiety and dizziness
My primary symptom is the anticipatory stomach pain and queasiness. I began to numb it with alcohol. Very bad idea because it led to IBS and real digestive issue which brought the anxiety to a head. Your reframing of what anxiety is and the surrender sessions is helping immensely. Now I’m working on quitting the drinking. Oh yeah and I’m moving for a big opportunity. Thank you so much Dennis. All the love and prosperity to you.
Dizziness which is always followed by an anxiety attack. It’s happened randomly over the last 3 years & absolutely freaks me out. Also, nervous stomach, chronic fatigue, heart palpitations, trembling. Sometimes I can’t believe this is my life now. I want my old life back. Ive always been such a laid back person. I never would have dreamed this to be my reality. I’ve done so many things to try to get better. Therapy, meds, no caffeine for 2 years, healthy eating, weight loss, etc. I’m so tired.😢
I think your problem is that you are doing things rather than not doing. In my 4 years of depersonalization I realized that acceptance/surrender is the best approach to anxiety symptoms. If you actually want to drink a coffee and you consciously know that you will enjoy it, don't let your fear of anxiety symptoms hold you back.
I've tried & done well for a few months at a time & then a symptom will come out of nowhere & starts the cycle over again.
@leighannp7593 Same things happening with me, but hey it will happen again and again, trust me just accept the symptoms, think it as milestones, the more you reach more you trust your body, my symptoms dissapeared for almost one year and then boom they showed in last month and continues till now, I am also afraid of these things but for sure they will disppear shortly. My reports are normal so its my mind that is playing.
One key thing that I find helps reduce anxiety in regular life is to remember that inaction is the soil in which fear grows. So very often, people are coming up into a moment when they need to make a decision. And then the delusion that we slip into is we tell ourselves, "I think I need to think through this more."
So we avoid the decision. We put that burden on our future selves. We create a situation where we're taking up more ram in our mind, like having more browser windows open in our mind, and then more fear and anxiety and stress occurs as a result.Once you just say, "Okay, you know what? I'm just going to decide. I'm just going to do this. Even though I feel uncertain, even though I'm unsure, I'm just going to go for it and do it and see what happens."
Once you're in the state of taking action, you'll be amazed at how much fear reduces. So you want to build the muscle of taking action even though you feel fearful anyway, and then fear will dissipate.
Along with Dennis’ videos and programs I highly recommend Dr.Sarno and TMS. It explains that pretty much everything has mind body connection!
Thanks for sharing this Patty.
Amazing and all of the above!
I suffer all of them! It’s amazing for me that so many people are going through this. I’ve had this all of my life but few months ago I lost total and complete control. I was hospitalized and then I found this channel and has helped so much! I’m 56 and happy! Thank you and blessings
Yes you are far from alone, much love.
I got so hill from the panic attacks I was put in hospital I was fine in hospital because I knew if eny think happen to me I was in the best place but has soon has I came home came home from hospital it started the next day and I'm still feeling like it today. Now dr is doing blood tests and hart trace on me I've told dr that it just came on one day. But I don't think they believe me 😢😢😢😢
I’ve been dealing with anxiety since 2011. I actually had about 4 years without it and when COVID came , my anxiety came back. Recently my doctor told me my vitamin d level is low, and anxiety and some of these symptoms can be because of low vitamin d. My worst symptoms right now is muscle twitching especially in my leg and foot , it’s driving me crazy and makes anxiety worse.
Had the worst depersonalisation last week, could not think any thoughts at all , very scary.
Denis I don’t know why you don’t have a million followers. You should! This info is gold. This makes so much sense from what I went through. I had all of these symptoms. My adrenals got so bad it affected my thyroid for a while. I still have some of these symptoms as I’m working through my chronic stress. And yes…Google is not your friend when you have health anxiety. I spent hours a day googling symptoms, and supplements to take.
Blessings my friend.
You are an amazing man. so humble and not too proud to tell the world of your struggle with anxiety. how you have managed to overcome these horrible symtoms is an inspiration to all of us who suffer anxiety and stress. you have reassured me so much as your comments on how to deal with the symptoms are invaluable. Thank you so much.
The stomach feelings are my biggest anxiety symptom. Especially since I am working to recover from emetophobia, it seems to drive the cycle of anxiety/fear that something is wrong
The head pressure is so true! That makes so much sense as I get really bad head pressure and I am constantly overthinking and worrying. Thank you!
Dennis you are truly amazing. I'm feeling so anxious about my symptoms right now. Thank you so so so much for being here. Xx
I love that you’re sharing this Dennis. It’s so relatable and helpful. ❤
Glad it spoke to you Patty.
I’m having the blurriness now and really dizzy spells. I just thought my eyes were gettin bad but only had an eye test last year
Did you ever see static? That visual snow stuff?
Sadly I can relate to all of them😢 Thank you for sharing. No one is ever alone in thisq
Thank you 🙏
Hi, yes I've got all the symptoms you mention plus more. Going through fatigue right now, cannot function. Great video, thanks.
This video is absolutely everything. Thankyou did what you do and share with us! 🙏
You are so welcome!
Dennis here from America thank you so much for all your explanation you are the best god blessed you
Kind words, very welcome.
I can relate to the constant nervous stomach, makes me feel like I need to use the restroom constantly but I really don’t. That nervousness/uneasiness radiates from my stomach down to my legs which hold tension as well. Then head pressure/chronic fatigue/throat lump all seem to happen at the same time, almost like I’m just exhausted from battling the constant nervousness. Great video.
All the symptoms you mentioned I had them. It's been four years for me now and and most of the symptoms are gone except this stupid Dizziness. The Dizziness came in the middle of my anxiety and it is the last that I have and hopefully it will soon go for me. God bless all of you who is in this let's all hope we will all come through it all..
Really agree with all of these. The throat one resonates deeply!
The tight lump throat is a biggie for me. I have learned to be grateful for the tight throat. It lets me know the anxiety is coming and I need to slow down
Many of these! Thank you so much I will watch this again....really very helpful to stop the mind spiralling and think the very worst! I had not heard of muscle stiffness and that and the dizziness are the worst symptoms for me as I love walking and at the moment feel like I am not touching the ground! Will keep staying safe!
You are very welcome.
Wow...this is so real - i have been in my anxiety recovery for the last 4 years. It is amazing to remember all of the symptoms that we had/have to go through in order to remember and be humble to ourselfs when we fail. Thnak you so much for being here and talking about it.
Very welcome glad it spoke to you.
For me the depersonalization, fatigue and just not feeling pleasure was the worst . Or that feeling of being plugged into a socket . I can still experience those if I am extremely stressed out then I know it’s time to slow down
The mere thought of having an attack, during the late morning hours (9:00-11:30) causes an attack. During this time I eventually believe I am dying, hyperventilating, chills, perspiring, pacing, walking outside and trying the 5 senses reset. All to no avail. I always survive the overwhelming ordeal to only repeat it the next day. I do have a non cancerous tumor, the size of a large pecan. I was assured it played no role. You touched on recall. I can't string 6 words together when addressing someone. Simply adding 2 digit numbers leaves me blank. Thank you to each reader that took the time to read and I hope you understand.
Most of these spoke to me Dennis and i can feel that i am on the right path now by interacting with those specific body parts
This is wonderful to hear.
I recently found your channel and am glad I did. I have experienced every symptom you mentioned. I have been through several very traumatic events. As a result. I've been suffering from anxiety and PTSD for the past 12-13 years. Part of my recovery was to change my diet and take some supplements. I am thinking more clearly and am beginning to think rationally. I am hopeful that I will continue to heal and my anxiety will become a distant memory. Your videos are very reassuring!! Thanks! - Rick
I’ve had or have 8 of those symptoms. Chronic fatigue, brain fog and shaking after minor exertions are the ones still lingering after a 6 year journey. Fatigue and brain fog are really annoying.
The very first one is the one that dominate me!! Wow!! The depersonalization and brain fog and dizziness with awful fatigue. Nothing was clear and couldn’t enjoy or focus on anything. Every tiny decision became torture ! Thanks Dennis for the knowledge and wisdom
I can relate to some, thank god not to all. For me it’s mostly that fight/flight system that is on. And yes, the over analyzing and thinking. But there are more and more moments that i feel more centered. In my healing journey now i still work on trust. Trusting in my own body and not believing in the stories i have been telling myself over and over again. Could you make a episode about the stories you tell yourself and how you learn to trust in your own recovery?
I learn something new every time I listen to the same video that you make. I love that. Things just suddenly click and there's a light at the end of the tunnel....... Your videos are lifesaving.
This fills me with joy, enjoy.
Awesome video Dennis ! There was a time where I wouldn't even watch this because I would manifest every one of these symptoms just hearing about them. Fast forward to today and now being free from the decades of health anxiety - this video was literally fun. I'm thinking - hey, I can beat these 10 - here's 10 doozies I used to struggle with. Having gone through sooo many years worrying about my health - only to come out the other side knowing I was perfectly healthy the ENTIRE time - man o man - what a waste of energy it was. But hey - life is great - hope you all find your way through ! Peace
So great to hear that you’re in this stage, what we’re the main reasons for such progress?
Another great video Dennis 👏👏....the lump in the throat is dreadful and I've suffered from that on and off...unfortunately I tend to overthink a lot which then exacerbates symptoms...heart palpitations, the globus feeling in the throat, feeling shaky etc etc...but listening to many of your helpful videos, I feel I am starting to cope better..its definitely not easy but am getting there slowly so thank you ❤...hugsss from downunder x
Hey Denis, thank you so much your videos are so inspiring, believe me the heart palpitation was and has been the worst 😢 for me. Am recovering.
You got this!
You have perfectly described what I'm living through right now....
You good right now ?
I struggle with the head pressure..thank you Dennis❤️
Do you find yr neck/jaw and or shoulders tensing up just before the head pressure starts? I get infact i have right now head pressure.and feels like my sinuses are blocking up..sometimes get a low buzz in one ear.. anyway, two things cause my head pressure and the first one is feeling tense/on edge and it causes me to unknowingly tense up my jaw n neck and in turn it effects yr ears n thats whats making my head feel pressure.
The 2nd one is just having constant rushing bad thoughts which makes yr head feel pressured when infact it isn't. Its hard to describe. Usually I get a mild ache around my head that feels like a tight band around it .thats a tension headache. Hope you can relate.
@@davvo1234 yeah i go through the same exact thing. Sometimes i got panic and then i remind myself that it is just anxiety then after a while the tense goes aways.
@@railalamatawalu2888 its awful feeling.yeah the best way is to accept it and it will ease.thing is it always comes bk
Pretty much all of these symtoms at one time or another, but particularly dizziness and feeling like I would fall over. Hence I walked a lot less. Since watching your videos Denis these symptoms are improving. Thank you!
Very welcome.
I was at a large dept store and my vision was so blurry and I felt dizzy. This happens quite often and it hits me out of the blue. I was driving home and thought I haven watched a Dennis video in way too long. This is the first video I watched today and the first thing you start talking about.
I have a huge fear of rejection too and a need for everyone to like me. But I have no problem talking to people.
I have a lot of these symptoms, but I also experience muscle swelling. Especially in my back, side and adominal areas. This is also where most of the tension in my body is held.
My anxiety journey has reached a point of me being able to accept it for what it is and living life instead if fearing my days.... however my set backs are because i tend to personalize others real life health situations. Example: when panic set in 3 years ago it was heart health.. and now when i hear stories i internalize it and my brain goes to "but what if?" And it takes me a few days to get back on track... more often during the times when my hormones are naturally fluctuating.. id love to figure out how to better maintain during certain times of the month
I can relate to the heart health anxiety. I can’t even say the thoughts I have had about my heart, it’s embarrassing. It stems from the initial PA that I didn’t even know had a name. Hope you are doing well.
The dizziness and brain fog and not being able to think clearly are my worst and have been going on a long time now. Very hard to accept and push through. Really bothers me not having I clear mind. It interferes with so much I want to do. Burn out video helps. I understand it bit can't get it to lessen.
What message is the dizziness and brain fog trying to tell me? How do I talk to it?
I would best describe what I’ve experienced is as if you were in an airplane that was spiraling out of control. A constant feeling as though I was falling out of the sky- all the feelings/ adrenaline that would accompany that would flow through my body for hours upon goes a day.
I feel it most when I’m in open spaces or up high in anyway. I feel as though I lose all sense of up/down and can not feel that I’m even on the ground.
I'd get panic attacks everyday,all day everyday, dizziness everyday, full body shakiness ,heart beating super fast everyday, overwhelming fear.. many more symptoms I just can't think of them at the moment..
Wow 100% depersonalization and dizziness is very real.
Thank you Dennis I’ve been like this for so long.. everything you say is exactly how I am and I’ve been worrying so much for so long (always googling) I also have really tight shoulders which is affecting my neck. I do lots of exercise and still do even when I don’t always feel like it.. i worry about injuries (I’ve had a few ) so although i want to run I worry ‘should I be doing this’ ‘what if I’m ill and I’m going to drop down’ daft as it sounds it’s how i feel and just can’t help it! I’m going to watch some of your other videos and hopefully overcome this!! Thank you ☺️
8:40 “D-Love” - I experienced the body Zap on my thigh. First time experiencing that one for sure. Continue to heal - one day at a time my friend. I’ve been really sitting with my alarm ⏰ and doing my best to not add thoughts to it…patience and practice is key 🔑 - ROGER
Hi Dennis mouth pain ribcage pain neck and head pain it started with mouth pain. I am loosing fear for it it is very uncomfortable but not harmful. I do everything in life and take the symptoms with me. Symptoms are increasing at the moment but I believe that my inner child is not happy yet with me changing. I say to my inner child hey sweetie we are no longer stuck in the past that is wonderful news isn't it. Thank you so much for speaking about yours much appreciated love you ❤️😁😘🇳🇱❤
Wow… I can believe you described most of my symptoms. The first one is the one that gets me all day. 😢
I’m glad you could relate.
in the begining all my anxiety was phsycological meaning i was just afraid of something happening or that i will get some kind of sick, it was like that for 2 years and i tried to CBT that untill i felt more safe that no im not getting schitzophrenia right now. but after those 2 years i started to get physical symptoms just like you discribed it, stiff leg muscles so bad i hardly walk and my mom has MS so i shit my pants, pinch and needles in my feet, trembeling, muscle twitches all over the body, upset stomach i legit thaught i have some kind of ulcer going on for 3 months i went to the doctor for it, dizziness, higher bloodpressure than i normaly have, cortisol level double the normal range all the time... shortness of breath all the time, racing mind, feeling stressed out, my mind locks up some days so i can even talk or do anything i just breath (happens at work). so yeah i absolutely feel everything u talk about, thank god i have a super good parents taking care of me, my dad is my biggest comfort and he has spent so much time and effort around me for so long its crazy, and he has had this GAD and panic thing himself in my age so he really knows what he talks about...
YES googling makes it worse. I stopped googling.
Well done :)
Hello Dennis, I can relate to many of these symtpoms, especially to dizziness, muscle twitching, mental fog and chronic fatigue. There' s one more symptom I unfortunately developed and that is breathing issue. Since May I' ve had shortness of breath, yawning etc.etc. Last week I visited a pneumophthisiologist and he told me that he is 99% sure that my breathing issue comes from my psyche but since I failed one test, he gave me asthma pump just in case. Today I' ve had a nice and productive day at work, but later on when I lied down I felt enormous muscle twitching which freaked me out and I couldn' t understand where it came from when I had a nice time. Somehow, your experience where you said that twitches got worse when you rested consoled me. Dennis, a lot of things are settling down in my life both at work and in my private life. I don' t want my past traumas and symtpoms that I have to deter me from this wonderful opportunities. I always keep in my mind your sentences that we have " a life to live" and that we are" more than anxiety". Thank you for your support and everything you have given to us. I believe in my complete healing and I started fantasizing about living normal life and getting what I deserve in my life- love, peace, healthy relationship. I am more than anxiety, I am a limitless human being who has so many things to offer to this world. Keep making videos that are so useful to us. I am sending you love and gratitude from Serbia
Thank you for sharing, much love back to you.
The trembling/vibration in my entire body for minutes at a time, muscle twitching in legs, jelly left leg can come and go. Cant do deep breaths unless Im relaxing! and the lump in my throat I totally forgot. Had that when I was getting divorced!
Had the “Zaps” as a kid when trying to sleep! Like 200 Volts for a splitsecond.
I am already healed, i was already healed but once i let 1 fearful thought lingern for a few minutes and anxiety took over 😐. Or i wasn't really healed and i was running away from those irrational thoughts. Well no more running. I don't want to run away i want to heal 🙂
Thank you, Dennis, for all you do. I’ve never felt understood by anyone - spouse, doctors, etc. - about my health anxiety, but hearing you talk about the very symptoms I’ve had makes me feel not alone and like I’m not crazy. I just completed week 2 of your program. Little by little I’m healing. All of my symptoms are still there, but I’m working on it daily.
One question I have is that I often get a symptom when not in a conscious time of worry. It might even be in a happy or relaxing time. Maybe just finished dinner with my family, or sitting down in the evening to watch tv with my wife. I’ll start getting the head pressure/buzzing or hard heartbeat. Do you have any insight about the timing of symptoms? I’m also trying to wrap my head around the past trauma. I don’t have any to speak of. I didn’t have a great childhood; non-emotional parents. I don’t know if there’s trauma that I’ve maybe blocked out, but that’s another area where when you mention past trauma or pain, I try to see if I can attribute it to myself or not. Again, thank you for helping me on my road to recovery!
Very welcome, I’m glad I can help in some way.
Dennis thank you for this video. Have you ever experienced the sudden flush or rush / whooosh feeling of adrenaline in your body ? It like tenses up my whole body and it’s really scary
Yes certainly have on many occasions during my anxiety disorder.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 thank you you’re my lifesaver thank you for all you do 🙏
Can relate to all of this apart from the zaps instead I got different aches and pains everyday with my anxiety x
Hoping this channel can guide you towards better days.
Hi, thanks Dennis for all your insight..I had all of these symptoms & because I tried so hard to ignore them all i numbed myself to life. I now find myself walking around like a zombie, I don’t wanna talk to people & I feel worn out all day long, my body stiff and achey, like I’m just thoroughly depressed🫤
Allow this channel to gently guide you then, you can get there.
Constant head pressure also another one i suffer with as well as palpitations
Guilt & blame. HUGE components for me, at the core of this. It's a narrative loop that replays through my mind. Any issue in my family: "I DID this TO them, during my military career, because of how non-present and self absorded I was," etc. The one thing in my life which I should be most proud of became something I've grown to hate due to the guilt I now associate with it. Bummer too, because in the recent past when I had made great progress on my healing journey, I thought I had attained self forgiveness, but apparently that was temporary.
Dizzy, lightheaded, weakness in my legs- symptoms I hate the most. Insomnia- for me that's like some next level in anxiety. I have panic attacks and anxiety since I was 10 (now Im 50) and my biggest fear was fainting. Ironically, I've fainted few times year ago but because of pain, not because of fear. So, if anyone is afraid of fainting please trust me- it won't happened because you're anxious or panicking
Take care and be kind to yourself, it is possible to live and feel good even with anxiety ✨️ ❤
I get skipped heart beats that send a shock across my chest. Is that what anyone here has? Very scary!
Thank you! My symptoms are feeling the static vibrations in my body when I’m resting. It’s mostly around my chest area which makes me become concerned for my heart. I worry that it’s working too hard for me. I then acknowledge that my heart is doing what it needs to do for my benefit and the best I can do is remain calm and let it. Usually if I can relax enough and tell my body I’m not in danger, the vibrations will slow or almost even stop, and that’s when I feel the heart palpitations, or skipped beats. Also a scary feeling but again I try to recognize that my heart is trying to get into a balanced rhythm and knows best what to do. I think the scariest part is waking up in this vibration. I don’t know what causes that. If I was dreaming and anxious or if my body is trying to release something? I feel pretty good through out the day. Living a pretty relaxing life now. When I recognize muscle stiffness it’s usually if I’m stressed so I will notice it and tell my body to relax and release. I’ve had a few more of the other symptoms like the dizziness, unable to see clearly. (Sensitivity to loud sounds and noises m, especially trying to rest, wasn’t mentioned here but I’ve heard you mention it before. Definitely had been an issue for me but has gotten better.)
Thank you for openly sharing in relation to anxiety elements.
Ohh I've had the distorted vision with brain fog and de personalisation..it made me feel like I was dreaming/drunk/odd .. scared the life out of me..heart palps.yeah had them..but the fatigue wow..I woke up at 6am.by 8am my eyes just kept wanting to close..sometimes its the opposite.i can't sleep lol.. my main symptoms now are head fullness like its full of air build up/pressure no headaches though..and butterflies in my chest, like flutters adrenaline kind of feeling.and even sometimes I have to yawn to get a full deep breath as I feel like im holding my breath alot.but my vision is 20/20 but I know when my anxiety is coming bk as my vision starts going funny/blurry/ wavey.. thanks for the vid..I found you by pure luck and im subbed.. oh and one more thing that really gets on my nerves is the sweats when im just walking around in the house.. I constantly feel hot and need aircon in every room.. 😅😅
Did you ever see static? That visual snow stuff?
I have a weird constant sick brain feeling that won’t go away it’s been there for years. It’s really bad when I wake up almost like my brain was squeezing itself all night while I was asleep and I have it all day everyday for so long now. It’s almost like I’m poisoned or dealing with some kind of exposure to something. Has anyone felt this before?? It’s very consuming and feels so hard to get past
I used to have that symptom when I was taking duloxetine...
Definitely relate to the dizziness and fog/haziness. I wake up trembling and shaky and when I have to be in public. I have muscle tension/stiffness all over but not as much muscle twitching. Definitely have a nervous and knot in my stomach. Definitely have had brain zaps. They are horrid. Head pressure feels like I need to pop my ears. The heart beating hard is definitely a tough one for me too. I definitely have the chronic fatigue that needs to go. It’s exhausting to deal with all of this!
Did you heal with awareness or did you need medicine?
Hey how are u feeling now and any tips to overcome physical symptoms ?
