Change in anxiety symptoms

Posted by lma84 @lma84, Jan 12 5:21am

I suffer from anxiety, mainly around my own health. Curious to know if others notice a change in the physical symptoms that anxiety produces, over time? Current flare up seems to have produced different symptoms again.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Depression & Anxiety Support Group.

I'm sorry you are going through all that. It is awful. I have GAD and the symptom I have a hard time with is the brain fog feeling that I get. It's terribly annoying. On no meds at this time. Been there, done that. Cardiologist has me on Propranolol for palpitations that I had and anxiety. The medicine works for the physical symptoms but not the mind thoughts that you have with anxiety. 🙁

I am currently seeing a therapist for mental areas, anxiety , depression. Mostly anxiety. Meditative breathing helps. Calm app helps. Cognitive Behavior thinking for me does not help with the 5 stages. But it does help others. your right it’s all temporary. Changing our perceptions to healthy thinking. Positive thoughts. Ending doubt and obstacles that cloud the mind is a switch. Focusing on here and now and not what ifs and maybes. I have Smoldering multiple myeloma. I live with the fact that this will be with me till the end of my days. Thou it is stable for now I and my anxiety live with uncertainty as to what the future holds.

I wish I was like my husband was, always positive. Even through his cancer he was always positive. The first year no one even knew he had cancer. I think this all set me up for the anxiety and little depression I am feeling now. Going to a therapist and she helps. Today the brain fog feeling is there and tingling which I know can be a symptom of anxiety as well. Trying real hard to keep moving and trying to stay busy even when I don't feel like it. Try to stay focused on the here and now and the moment. Try not to worry about the future. We all don't know what the future holds for us.

@lma84 What particular symptoms are you seeing that are changing? I think for me, anxiety over different things happening seem to promote different reactions. Sometimes that's good, when I am able to pinpoint the reason for a symptom.

The symptoms that are changing for me is today brain fog and tingling. I have GAD and a little depression. This all started after I lost my husband in 2022 in December. On no meds at this time only Propanolol the cardiologist recommended (no issues with heart) just this awful morning anxiety and being down in the dumps so to speak. I would like to feel like myself again but only I can do that.
