Every time I get cleared from one thing I get another symptom some where else. It’s crazy. The more I read on different things I get more symptoms it’s crazy.
That’s what im sayinggg 💀
Because u think anything is possible and ur rational brain switches off.. u check that if u have the symptoms u read and then u r afraid if it looks like u have it
Me too, doctors said I got a lipoma, so felt fine after that....
But then my anxiety started making me focus on my throat and jaw.
Yes that’s why I now believe, what you focus, it expands… I have health anxiety since 2021. It all started with feeling of lump in a throat/globus sensation. Now I have frequent urination, pelvic pain, skin rashes, cognitive impairment. All in all, I have 40 physical symptoms of Anxiety. I’ve done multiple tests as well.
@@user-vc5wl7uq2x did u have symptoms with your bones?
i remember seeing videos of people with what - at the time - was called “shell shock” in soldiers from both world wars that we would now call advanced PTSD. they couldn’t sit still, had jerks and ticks galore and some had lost the ability to form sentences and words. those men had been through unimaginable stress and trauma but were otherwise perfectly healthy. never underestimate trauma and anxiety as a real cause for very real physical conditions. and also the flip of that i.e the importance of mental health in recovering from a physical condition. thanks Cherelle.
I agree that anxiety symptoms are fascinating and the best thing you can do is to recognise it as an anxiety symptom and accept it as such. Anxiety feeds on anxiety and becomes the cycle of anxiety. Worry over one anxiety symptom causes another anxiety symptom and so on. When I was young I would have periods of feeling swollen lumps under my jaw,went to hospital to get checked for cancer because I thought I had a lump in my throat (globus sensations). Now,many years later and a lifetime of suffering from anxiety, in the last several years I have had deafness from my ear canals swelling and closing,ear pain, extreme Tinnitus and constant mucas in the throat causing me to clear my throat and make a noise,and many other stress related symptoms. Was put on antidepressants way back in 1991 for anxiety,and they caused a dependency that meant I couldn't stop taking them for over 32 years,that only after quitting my job I was able to manage it. That was a year ago,and so I'm having to deal with the fallout from those drugs rather than dealing with the reasons behind the anxiety.So I don't recommend taking them for anxiety,they only mask the cause. Anxiety is not a chemical imbalance but a faulty thought system and taught bad habits that can be changed altered and stopped if enough effort over a period of time is put in,and knowledge and acceptance is key to that progress. That's why your channel is excellent in highlighting that however severe a symptom is,it is still a symptom of a very stressed mind and temporary and transient.
Those weird head sensations, pressure, feeling from head to throat, tingling, the weirdest things
I get weird head sensations too! Why do yours feel like
@@MindyParker mine are like pressure ontop of my head, like tingling, almost a feeling like I’ve got jelly in my head and if it wobbles too much I might topple over 😭
@@samokeefe2857 that’s exactly how I been feeling! It’s so weird right
@@MindyParker it’s actuslly awful! Sends me right down panic alley!
Yes same here I feel pressure type in my head and in the nose and throat too , it is very hard to explain this weird sensations.
I am so sorry you went through this. I had the body jerks for years and its sooo scary, no one believed me, they thought I was making it up and was seeking attention. Another super weird symptom was the crawling sensation on my skin, feeling water dripping on my head and blurry vision. It was all so crazy, I was tested for MS and Parkinson... Years later I understand what I was going through and got a functional diagnosis. As you said, for someone with health anxiety, the more anxious you get the more symptoms show up and makes things 100% worse. Its a vicious circle...
Cherelle,if I’d known earlier about your chanel and known how all encompassing the symptoms of anxiety can be I probably wouldn’t be in the awful state I’m in now,driving myself mad with worry.Thank you for being so open about your own experiences,you have really helped me.
Same situation
I get really freaked out over cognitive issues. Things like forgetfulness and confusion that seems be excessive.
My scariest one was extreme vertigo lasting hours and hours per day, nonstop. The world looked and felt like I was on a rocking boat.
Omg I'm going through the same thing with the memory and confusion. Ive been trying to force myself to remember things which only seems to make my memory and anxiety worse
Thank you for your videos. I have had health anxiety for years now. A big catalyst for me with health anxiety was I actually did end up having open heart surgery after doctors kept telling me I was fine. So now I struggle for excessive reassurance, but my main symptom now which I hope is anxiety is split second blackouts. They only seem to happen when I'm sitting or driving never when I'm exercising. I have gone to the eye doctor and my family doctor and have been kind of dismissed with the "let's just wait and see" So now I'm convinced it's getting worse and really worried.
Really interesting, thanks. It never fails to amaze me what the mind can do.
You have no idea how many people's lives you save through your work.
My craziest anxiety symptom so far is a swollen lymph node every time I have prolonged periods of anxiety, 🤷♀️
Is that the most worrisome? I've had that and didn't bother me like the body tremors and headaches and dizzyness and vomiting and panic 24/7
did they ever go away? im dealing with a cold that hasn’t gone away but the swollen lymph nodes are making me paranoid even though my doctor says I’m fine. I had one like 1 or 2 months leading up to the cold but I think it was anxiety, lack of sleep & stress. i hate anxiety 😢
You don't realize but your just like a goddess here, helping out ppl with anxiety...
My brother died recently and have gone through a kaleidoscope of anxiety symptoms. One of which, is Olfactory Hallucinations. I was, and still experiencing these hallucinations. I constantly smell smoke. I suck on cough drops, which helps temporarily. My neurologist insisted it was NOT anxiety and said it could be the first sign of a brain tumor, which I've read. After an exhaustive search on Google and other sources, I've come to realize it is either anxiety or can be linked to a sinus issue. The medical profession is clueless to anxiety and its effects on the body. Thanks for sharing!!!!
i get this too. every once in a while i smell some kind of smoke for a split second. sinus issues make up the vast majority of olfactoy hallucinations.
The smoke sence is normal after someone passing us it a essence smell
Can totally relate to this and they drive me crazy
Pulsatile tinnitus 3 years .
Ear pain and Pressure 2 years .
Tmj and facial twitch 3 years .
Still don't have a clue what's going on but the light headedness driving me mad
how are you doing now?
You are amazing. Your honesty is refreshing. I have had multiple symptoms.
Been going through nonstop brain fog and health anxiety for 3 months now, having up and down days. Last week has been rough, thinking I have every possible brain condition there is bc I just can’t seem to shake the DPDR feeling. Went through your videos today and it definitely helps to hear about others experiences, so thank you!
Did you get better bro ?
Yes a lot better thanks for asking man! Took a long time and wasn’t easy but feeling real good.. you dealing with something similar?
@@robborden9687 Im exactly in the your same past situation haha, hopefully ill get better
You definitely will man, it may not seem that way sometimes but you will.. just try to do things you would normally do everyday, don’t let those uncomfortable feelings stop you from living, it took time but sticking to that and getting a good routine in the gym helped me alot.. I still have bad days now and then but it’s alot easier to just let it go now, you got this bro
@@robborden9687 Thanks brother your words brought me a lot of comfort during these tough times, just wanna ask you one more time about the brain fog, did it go randomly one day or gradually disappear ?
I am really thankful to you , i got most of your symptoms and in terrible anxiety ,after i listen to ur channel now i realize and getting very much better now . Thank you dear . God bless you
I am having hyperosmia
Thank you SO much for this video. I've had this first symptom for like a month now and been terrified I had cancer. It always feels like I am warm even though I am not that hot. I thought I had carcinoid syndrome and was so scared and convinced I got the 24 hr urine test and a full blood count which was clear. I think it is just an anxiety thing
I was gonna come here and say like "hey small UA-camr to the next" but it looks like you got this handled unlike my anxiety and I'm happy your open with these thing you got a lot of confidence unlike me
Edit: I'm not expecting you to read this
Not exactly anxiety is kicking my butt atm all my symptoms are on my left side
Omg all my symptoms are on my left side
So are mine
Have you guys had an mri?
@@courtneythorsby1641 I have requested it alot at my health care providers but they all think am pretty young and don't have any family history of anything that will need 1 and I don't have any health factors of any diseases so they keep denying it.
my best one thus far was having severe pancreatic insufficiency, was put on creon and told i'd be on it for life and it doesn't heal, it fully recovered last year so whatever it was or is it wasn't in line with medical convention at all.
Wow, anxiety can do some crazy things to your body!! I too had high androgen levels… my doctor suspected PCOS… but as soon as my stress levels went down my androgen levels went down too… anxiety created a hormonal imbalance for me! I hope you’re feeling better!
I get anxiety so bad I get scary head symptoms and one of them is feeling like I'm being knocked on my head it was so weird
Do you get a weird falling/quick wave of dizziness feeling also? I get head pressure, the falling/dizzy quick feelings, I got that being knocked on my head feeling too the other day! It scared me… I also feel light headed sometimes
I’ve gotten fevers from anxiety as soon as I calmed down it went away
Thanks Cherelle. I've been worrying about all these symptoms for far too long. Putting this out there has relieved a lot of my stresses. I seriously appreciate your bravery. Stay strong, persevere 💪
L-theanine 200mg or 100mg, Apigenin from Camomile, Lemon Balm, passion flower, tart cherry has melatonin and stuff that helps with muscle strains from being anxious, Magnisium Theorate.
Absolutely yes to the low grade fever. Constantly 37.8-37.9!
I also smell burning! I googled this thinking I was having a brain tumour!
Omg same here I have only had it twice in 6 months but mine was burnt toast
Happy that you got with a great neurologist!
The fever thing.. I had fever for 14 days(100-101C)after my grandpa passed away.. That was a terrible thing.. Doctors couldn't find out the reason.. It went away after i stopped worrying about it..
My health anxiety becoming worse day by day last night i have pain in roof mouth 😭😭😭 i google it then it become more worse i not handle any more now i think i have hole in roof mouth 😭😭😭
I’ve had a lot of weird anxiety symptoms, the one that stands out the most to me though is reactive hypoglycemia. Food triggers my blood sugars to drop to dangerous levels and so does exercise. The lowest I’ve been so far is 2.2 mmol. Doctors can’t find a reason as to why this is happening, they think it’s from my anxiety.
Some others are full body pins and needles, burning sensations all over my body to the point where I feel like I’ve actually been burnt. Even the feeling of my soft bed sheets hurt my skin, I couldn’t stand it.
I had this weird ‘head pressure’ feeling before that lasted 8 months, I spent most of that time in bed because I felt like my head was too heavy to hold up. One side of my face felt HUGE too. I had severe vertigo with this as well. I was really convinced that I had a brain tumor but my MRI was normal.
Anxiety can be brutal, the symptoms you see online when you google it do not do it justice at all. Thank you so much for speaking out about this, it’s super helpful and makes me feel less alone ❤️
Same here!! Had reactive hypoglycemia happen to me twice. Weirdest feeling in the world when your blood sugar begins tanking after eating food. It hasn’t happened since i got my anxiety and stress in check. The human body is very weird
Search Medium Medium Anthony Williams tips for reason behind all these issues that can come from Virus, toxins and pathogens. I wish I had learned his stuff before but I now I believe in Spirit of Compassion after being reluctant.
How long did the full body pins and needles last?
@@dermlover1 Sometimes they'd last a few weeks to a few months, it varied. There were times I thought they were gone completely only for it to come back again. 😔
Hi mocha I had the head pressure too! That’s crazy that someone else can relate hope you are feeling better!
Great video as always
I m facing whole body twitching than comes and goes only for second at one spot...
Good morning from Kentucky, USA!
KFC...😂😂😂🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗
Just got diagnosed with functional neurology disorder myself at Walton hospital in Liverpool yesterday. I'm only 30 years old. Absolutely sucks x
Me to but least we no we can help it
What symptoms?
@@dermlover1 random jerks, headaches and internal tremors
@@rebeccalindsay8377how are you now
Muscle twitching was weird..for the longest time i refused to believe that anxiety could cause muscles tp twitch so much.
So did I.
If I were in the UK I would do a Linden Method retreat. Look into it!
Anyone get just intense dizziness and head pressure? I have other symptoms but those are the ones that just bug me non stop. For a couple of years now.
Yeah, 3 weeks and it was a stress induced migraine convinced I had a brain tumour and went to hospital x
How are you now
@@lauren4710how are you now
Yes bruhhh😭
yes literallu suffering from it now....its so annoying i hope it goes away..i feel like i have brain tumor or sumn I HOPE ITS NOT TRUE I AM SCARED AF
Hearing voice in my head specially before sleep
My craziest symptoms have been 24/7 dizziness, constant nausea, blurry vision and eye floaters. I also once had a random low grade fever with extreme nausea, but no vomiting. I also had body aches with it and all of the symptoms only lasted for a single day. I chalked it up to maybe a weird 24 hour bug, but I've always wondered if it were due to anxiety.
Another time, I woke up and it felt like I was over heated. I was extremely nauseous, because of feeling so hot, so i walked outside in the middle of winter and sat in the snow to cool down and then I got really shaky, threw up and had diarrhea. I believe this was also an anxiety symptom. It felt like food poisoning, but 3 other people ate exactly what I ate that day and were fine.
Funny a lot has popped up after co vid!
Hello and thank you so much for your videos. I've been suffering from myoclonic and hypnic jerks for about a year now and have seen many doctors and specialists. At this point, I don't know if anxiety is the sole culprit or just a trigger. May I ask what seizure medication you took in addition to the valium? Benzos do help my ordeal as well but I take them sparingly to avoid dependence
Joseph, yes, i too have been suffering this Hell for over a month now & am caught it it's anxiety/fear cycle. Lost.
I'm currently experiencing the same jerks and also have a feeling of buzzing/shakiness in my body when I'm at rest. Having an MRI on Friday and on the waiting list for neurologist at Walton in Liverpool. Have got a 9 year old and a 5 month old to look after. Absolutely petrified. I had a lumbar puncture done a few weeks ago due to an ongoing headache so don't know whether it's side effects of the procedure, something else neurological or severe anxiety x
@rebecca did you find your answer?
@@catherinebailey940 Got diagnosed with FND
I have this after having covid, my mri was normal
@@michaeldent1684 Sorry to hear that, Covid can cause all sorts of issues afterwards
I definitely suffered from the smell symptoms i keep smelling burning grass that was not there
So my latest anxiety symptoms is hot forearms and the habit of checking under my chin for lumps! I've had terrible acid reflux which has burned my throat and caused swelling of the tonsils. Now I keep feeling for lumps under my chin thinking it's cancer :( I've caused my lymph nodes to swell I think from constantly pushing under my chin/jaw
It happened due to reflux just take ginger tea 🍵 and don't panic and don't overuse ppi just take if necessary and take sma meals that's it
did everything turn out ok?
I have swelling in my left side under my breast I am worried about my spleen.
The smell one is me , like burning and stuff.
I have the smell thing!!
It’s sad but the medical community - especially GPs in UK are pretty much clueless about anxiety and the huge range of symptoms that can present, plus nocebo side effects of medications. When drs outright deny that this could be a possibility it makes things worse for an anxious patient. I agree they need to rule out other serious causes, but they need to gen up on anxiety (also serious!) and not write its potential physical symptoms off!
I experienced Myoclonus as well, along with back pain, leg pain, fibro pain, my middle ear Myoclonus might also be related 🤷♀️
does anyone have symptoms with their bones?
cherelle did you ever experience high blood pressure caused by anxiety-related disorders?
Its only happened a couple of times but i smelt burning on occasions that was terrifying as well as the hypnic jerks mime were awful i felt like i was having a seizure
my anxiety over my health getting worst
I get this thing where my right leg feels like it gets stuck if that makes sense. Like it doesn't want to go. Then my stomach sinks as it feels like I'm going to trip or fall down. So strange. I also get about 40 other symptoms including myoclonus, twitching, etc. Oh another one is - I'm always stuff up - especially my ears. Like there's fluid in there. When I'm on a plane it feels like my eardrums might burst. Been checked out by scores of doctors with no real confirmed answers. Sound like anxiety? I hope so.
I have had all of these as well
Hot flashes and low grade fever are real signs of anxiety. I thought I was having Lymphoma or even Premature Ovarian Failure.
ever heard of uncontrolled vocalisations with myoclonus
Hi cherelle..really admire your videos!! And useful advices.. I got COVID last year in dec.. since then got fear and anxiety.. though my kids and husband got no symptoms thankfully.. I have 3 kids age 11(almost 12 in April), 7 and 4 1/2. I’m reluctant to get my kids vaccinated, due to any now or long term side effects.. but bit worried and confuse that should I get them vaccinate or not, did you vaccinate your little ones..can you suggest please!! I’ll really appreciate. God bless you!
Hi Alena! My kids definitely will not be getting the vaccine but I’d recommend doing your own research and also going with your gut instinct. For me, right now, my gut instinct is telling me no and I want to honour that when it comes to my children. Hope this helps. ❤️
I would never vaccinate children with this experimental vaccine. I actually got the first series of two. And ended up with neurological issues for over a year. Please don’t! God Bless 🙏🏼💕
Anyone’s legs and arms hurt like feels like the circulation is weak tingling in arm and hand it’s horrible
I m dealing Now with low grade fever and heat body temperature and itchy skin burning sensation
Is your itching just normal itching or Is it like crawling sensation
I've watched every one of this ladies videos and I swear she makes it up
Then why watch
@@lxb88b don't worry, I no longer do
After every single function I have to go to I get a low grade fever😳😫
I get this too! I especially get one before medical appointments. I haven’t been allowed into some of them when they check your temp before coming in, they’re concerned I might have covid 😅
Anxiety can cause low Temps too
I get really bad sparkling in my vision, like the blue entopic phenomenon but even when looking around a light room, not just at the sky. Had my eyes tested twice and my optic nerve checked etc, no issues there at all. It is pretty much constant:( anyone else?
I see a blue dot or speckle sometimes. I had my eyes checked too and everything is fine.
Perhaps ocular migraine? Stress induced and scary.
I have hypnic jerks as we speak it’s so hard to go anywhere any suggestions what could help
Cherelle, i havent talked to you for a while but i did now and i see you are wearing a ring. Are you engaged? If you are congratulations and every blessing.
Hi Anne! Yes my partner proposed on Christmas Day which was lovely! We are getting married July 23rd. ❤️
Do you think you may have got these symptoms from a virus like similar to having long covid
No, it was anxiety 100%
Iv had all sorts of anxiety issues after having covid, but i have had anxiety issues in the past. I think it gets at your weaknesses, with me its probably over stimulated my nervous system
Is there anyone here that literally thinks they’re gonna have a heart attack all the time? Like constantly thinking about it?
Yes same
Have u checked ur thyroid??
🙏🏾💙
Anyone experience random muscleaches?
Bestie are you mixed with black? We look kind of similar so just asking lol.
Has anyone ever had an abnormal ekg due to anxiety?
Me!
@@cherellethinks how does that happen?
According to the emergency department no I haven't.
didn't you think to do a daily vlog? :)
Burning feet and finger tips
This is not anxiety. It is an acute stress response. You were having olfactory hallucinations. Your sympathetic system must have been off the scale.
Rule no 1 never get braces with health anxiety 😑😑
