How long do your anxiety symptoms last?

[Dakota_C]

Hi,

I've been struggling with some of the physical symptoms I get from Anxiety for the past two weeks

Started off as chest / feeling like heart pain, been to Hospital twice and each time ecg and bloods were okay, even had a chest xray and appeared fine, getting a holter monitor soon as well just to be double safe

Now mostly the pains in my chest have gone besides one random shooting one now and then, but for the last 3-4 days Ive been getting random bouts of lightheadedness, headaches, and really strained eyes / pressure behind my eyes, almost as soon as I wakeup, been trying to convince myself its not something else

How long do your physical symptoms of anxiety last, and do they change a little bit over time to other areas?

hi Dakota

In my experience and talking to others anxiety can cause physical symptoms just like yours and numerous other symptoms. You have done the right thing getting checked out by medical professionals and I would certainly mention any new symptoms you have in future. The duration of symptoms varies from person to person. They can certainly change a bit over time to other areas.

I hope you feel better very soon. I went to my GP every couple of years because of fatigue. Blood tests and scans were clear. GP concluded fatigue is due to my mental health. I've gotten used to it and enjoy an afternoon nap most days, but if I feel more tired than usual for a month or more in future I will go back to my GP to rule out other issues.

Hi Dakota,

Thank you for being open here. I can see that you are struggling with your anxiety. It's great that you have been seeking help from medical professionals.

For me personally, my symptoms last until the event is over. Everyone is different. Maybe logging down whenever you feel the symptoms and how you cope with them is a good idea. It can help you find what helps ease it down.

Stay safe and i am always here to chat.
