Over 100 Symptoms of Anxiety

Lanchparty7 · May 11, 2021

I reference this list probably more often than I should as I have had (or thought I have had) a number of these symptoms.

bin_tenn · May 11, 2021

Proof that anxiety really is a body-wide response and is definitely not just mental or otherwise "in your head". I know it's difficult to understand this, or at least accept it, when we're deep in a state of anxiety, but it's legit!

pretty amazing with a list as large as this one that it would all boil down to one word - anxiety...
And the Dr.'s all tell you there is nothing wrong with you at the same time! hahaha

Haha, no kidding!

One more to add. I know I’ve read it on an anxiety list, and just now confirmed it on a reputable web site:

Yellow stool, or yellowish when you wipe. Actually, stress causes the stool to pass through your system quicker than normal, which leads to the yellow color.

It bothers me when I see lists like this because they are way to general to mean anything. Basically just about every symptom one can have is listed here so virtually everyone will have a good number of these at one time or another. Except for some of the emotional/mind symptoms (such as everything is scary) they are not at all specific to anxiety. They might be from anxiety or they might not be. Those with anxiety are more attuned to what is going on with their body so will be more aware of any symptom than someone who doesn't think about every little discomfort. The symptoms listed here are very similar to other lists of "Over 100 symptoms of . . . . . " You can fill in the blank, be it perimenopause, PMS, magnesium deficiency, TMJ, adrenal fatigue, migraine, IBS, mercury poisoning, chronic lyme, fibromyalgia, bfs, indigestion, allergies, depression, candida, chemical sensitivity, gluten intolerance, vitamin D deficiency, low B12, etc.

When someone goes to the doctor with a problem, if the cause isn't easily found it is written off to "anxiety." Anxiety may or may not be the problem but there is no quantitative test for it so it's impossible to say for sure. Unfortunately doctors usually stop looking any further after the blood tests and imaging come out normal. The problem is still there so anxiety is given as the cause. It's not fair to the patient but that's how most doctors operate in this day and age. They don't have the time to delve into each and every symptom, most of which are completely harmless, but it does leave the patient wondering and often with more anxiety.

I more or less agree with all of that, the list should always come with the caveat that whatever the symptoms are, they should be fully investigated first to rule out disease, before attributing them to anxiety.

Having a bad week and referencing this list yet again. Found another site as well with a long list of symptoms and that site has tests to take also. Probably not a good idea to be doing that right now as the one test I took had my anxiety level as very high.

I could add anther 100 to that list. In my experience anxiety can mimic or cause far more than 100 symptoms. But when it comes down to it it is anxiety. All of it is, so that has to be tackled at it's root. The cause! There is always a cause. The laws of physics dictates that and it applies just as much to anxiety as to physical things. None of this would be happening to any of us without a cause. Cause and effect. And we have to be careful reading about symptoms. In health anxiety we are so vulnerable, and suggestions can stick in the mind. Best leave it all alone and realise that everyone is unique.

I call anxiety "The Great Mockingbird." It can pretty much take any form at all.

I thought I'd share all this with you. Found it on another anxiety board and found it to be helpful. Sometimes just knowing this is your symptom of anxiety can help with your management of it... I know it helped me knowing a lot of these symptoms are mine and that it's all it is... anxiety..
