I have researched and found that there are conflicting reports. I read that half the sources say High levels of cortisol are to blame for anxiety, insomnia , panic and stress and the other half say low cortisol levels are to blame. So which one is it ? Low or High?
The answer is not that simple. I have lived and live both. I had Cushing’s disease which is too much cortisol and when pituitary surgery failed, I ended up having to have my adrenals removed. So now I have too little cortisol.
When I had too much, and I can say this was true for many of those I speak to - to give an example, when I was in a car, it felt like all the cars were coming at me. I had terrible insomnia because my cortisol was raised at night.
Having too little, I am not able to react well to stress and get more emotional and stressed out in different ways. I also get insomnia. I have found that the symptoms of being low are pretty similar to being high except for the tossing of cookies.
If I had to pick one, panic, anxiety, insomnia, and stress are more often associated with higher levels.

I have been having numbness all over my body along with aches and pains(including my sides and chest). I get shakey at times and constant headaches. I get muscle spasms and get dizziness, sometimes following nausea and abdominal pain. Could all this be te cause of anxiety? I went to the hospita lfor it already, they said its probably just anxiety. The hospital near me isnt really a hospital who knows what theyre doing. But all my symptoms, could that just be anxiety too?
It sounds to me like a panic attact. My best friend has them from time to time. They can be pretty scary, causing all the symptoms you mentioned. I would be a doctor to get some medication for anxiety. It can reduce the symptoms. Also, keep a journal of when these things happen. You may be able to see a pa

Sightread of Panic Attack by Dream Theater in Rock Band 2. This was in a challenge, so that explains the extra stuff, and why there was no overdrive.

I’m 18 years of age and i’m almost 6feet in height, and 108 pounds. I’ve been to the doctor my entire life doing tests and things but no solid results. Could this be a mental thing? Could I be stressed and it’s causing me to eat a lot less than others? I also get severe stomach aches frequently.
Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.
Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.
But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There’s this strange herb called “St John’s Wort” - it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John’s Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced… you have that “learned behavior” in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior - Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction… There are several other techniques to help cope them!
Ok, to use Distraction: Firstly, try to….
