Thanks to everyone for responding to my post, 'AM anxiety?'

Another question, does anyone experience these symptoms? Numbness through entire body; pins and needles in bottom of feet; tight uncomfortable feeling in stomach, like a steel band is wrapped around the torso; tightness in the bottom of the foot, like there is a ball or tight muscle there. The 'steel band in the stomach/tightness in the foot' bother me the most.

I'm just looking for some relief from these symptoms, it'll be a week tomorrow since I 1st felt this, I just want it to stop! I'm taking St John's Wort, passionflower, trying to relax (ha) and starting to do yoga in the pm.

Maybe I should just call the doc and ask for a prescription for something? I normally don't like taking drugs, but I will if it would help!

Thanks, A.

I can't say that I have encountered the same symptoms as you have, A. I can say that with my anxiety/panic, I have any number of odd sensations & they scare the crap out of me. They can actually throw me into a panic because I get so scared. Anytime I worry to excess or feel new symptoms, my dr. is understanding about checking me out & giving me reassurance. I hope you have a dr. like that.


Maybe the dr. could prescribe something else for you. I know that antidepressants have helped me to *feel* more like myself & reduce the anxiety. Good luck & GBU! (((hugs))) jan

I haven't experienced those same symptoms either, but anxiety can manifest itself in so many different ways.
