Hello! I used to be on the boarRAB all time but but took a long break...now I'm back with a new symptom! I tend to focus on my physical symptoms of anxiety... it used to be breathing problems, focus on my heart, fast heartbeat, etc. None of these things are bothering me now...imagine that...
Anyway, about 6 months ago I was really, really anxious as a side effect to a medication I was put on for migraines. I had started feeling weak in my arms and legs when doing normal everyday stuff around the house. My muscles felt like jello and they felt shaky. I felt like I had worked out when I didn't. I felt clumsy and off balance, too. I stayed on that medicine for over 2 months and decided to stop it to see if the weakness went away. It didn't...I still have all the symptoms I did before and the anxiety is pretty much the same, too. So, of course due to my stupid health anxiety, I am just sure I've got something horrible. But then again, I do tend to focus on stuff and when I do that it makes it 100 times worse. So I'm not sure if this is an anxiety symptom or if the muscle weakness is causing my anxiety. Has anyone else experienced muscle weakness due to anxiety?
Thanks in advance!
