What are your anxiety symptoms?

I just wanna compare notes more than anything else.

For me, the good news is I haven't had a panic attack in nine days now!!!! I've come close but seem to have found a way to avoid them. However, I still have massive anxiety issues. Mostly health issues of course. I get these chest pains and they still make me so nervous. I get headaches....same thing. And other miscellaneous pains in my arms and legs that really bother me. I also get these dizzy spells. Sometimes it feels like vertigo and sometimes it just feels weird. I can't describe them. Almost like I could faint but not quite like that. I think it's the feeling I get prior to a panic attack. And these spells only last a few seconds but it's enough to mess with me for hours. Makes me paranoid.

Just wondering if anyone else experiences these sensations. I know it's probably all anxiety induced but I still have those stupid doubts and I get nervous that it's something more serious. I can't seem to completely let go. I don't trust my body anymore and sometimes it feels like torture being inside this body. Everyday is a challenge. It takes so much mental energy to just try to exist peacefully. It wears me out and I hope I can get back to normal soon.
