[Chey3]

Hello...I'm just wondering whether someone can help me.  I suffer from anxiety and stress and deal with many symptoms as a result, however of late I have been feeling this extreme heaviness throughout my body..shoulders, chest, sides...it feels scarey, I feel like it effects my breathing...does anyonw experience this?  Is this part of anxiety.

Hi Chey,

Welcome to the forum!

There are other threads on this forum that discuss physical symptoms of anxiety, which you can take a look at. About three quarters the way down page 1 on the thread below are some videos endorsed by beyond blue, posted by Chris (the Community Manager). You can take a look at them and read about the experience of others.

Best wishes,

Hi Chey3,

Anxiety can cause a lot of scary physical symptoms. things can happen to your body when its stressed that you sometimes find hard to believe could be caused by anxiety!

Have a read through the threads that SM posted, there is lots of information and advice on there.
