Hello. I would like to hear what physical symptoms anyone with anxiety has felt. I have had (self diagnosed) anxiety for a long time, but it was always in my mind. Lately though, I have been feeling tingling in my hands, feel like my heart is racing (although I check my pulse and it's normal) and scariest of all is a feeling like I might pass out - feeling "unreal". I have had a couple of panic attacks in the past. I also have sleepless nights, feelings of dread, etc...

I have researched and it seems like these could be anxiety symptoms. I am a nurse, and aware of other possibilites like low BP or hypoglycemia, and check those occasionally and they are not the cause. Of course I have already concluded I have MS or somethign else eqully devestating. I am going to try and get a doc. appt. today. I do not have a primary care doctor, so it might take a while to get an appt. I think it's time to get some help, as it is having an effect on my life.

Also - from what I read meds. do not cure, but help manage while you work through the cause of anxiety......I really do not want to get on a med. Any thoughts?
