What are your physical symptoms of HA

[Izthewiz]

Hello friends.
I'm asking what physical symptoms you have had with Health anxiety?
Do they come and go?

Me I'll go first.
I have real back pain from a l4-l5 bulging disc so that's real.
But something that I've had come on with Health anxiety is the urge to urinate or feeling I can't empty my bladder all the way.
Even the thought of have to go pee brings me to a down mind set of maybe my issue is back?
This whole thing has made me start doing odd things like
I measure how much I pee each time usually 4-8 oz per time and how often 4-8 times a day.
Ideally id like to get past this mind set of thinking something is wrong with me.
I don't have the strong urge to urinate like in the past but I feel it can strike anytime.

My physical symptoms:

-an elevated heart rate (normally 60-100bpm now 100-140bpm)
-severe neck pain and migraines
-chest pain/burning
-brain “burning”
-severe muscle aches throughout my body
-constant bowel issues
-severe dizziness

I think that covers them all? At least the worst of them.

Do you suffer from urge to urinate also?

Do you suffer from urge to urinate also?

All the time. I convince myself every night that I have to pre before bed until I actually feel the urge and then it’s never really that much.

This is something new to me.
Urge to urinate after peeing and last for a week or so.
Anxiety is a mother!

It is really a tough life. I experience everything everyone has listed and more. I guess with me being diagnosed with POTS, it makes it worse. The part I hate the most is the sudden surge of one symptom(s) or the other just out of the blue. About 45 mins ago, I was just taking a rest from work thinking maybe I can get back to it later and suddenly, Shortness of breath, intestinal spasms, headaches, pain in me left arm, weakness from head to my toes and that just basically shut me down. Scared to get off the bed. Frightened I might not make it if I stand up. And in 45 mins, I have been to the bathroom three times. Go figure. What a nightmare but we will keep living as long as God wills.

How long have you have the burning skin? Years for me. What does your doctor say.

How long have you have the burning skin? Years for me. What does your doctor say.

On and off for about 10 years. My dr isn't concerned. I recently had it very bad on my arm, every day for weeks, and went to a chiropractor who said I had a pinched nerve- he adjusted it, and the burning went away. But i have it in other random places all the time- My foot, my thigh, my back, etc.
