shoulder and chest pain from extreme anxiety,stress,depression,and pain?
Posted by: | CommentsHas anyone else experienced this?
How’d you handle it?
Yeah, I have a lot of tension pains in my shoulders and chest. You have to learn to relax those muscles when you feel them getting tight. Listen to some calming music and meditate in the morning before you do anything else, and at night before you go to bed. This will help with anxiety and stress, but also relax the muscles in general.
Tremors, insomnia, depression, anxiety - menopause?
Posted by: | CommentsI am 51 years old and have been trying to "get my life back" for three years now. I have tried many medications that either make me too fat or too drowsy. I am currently trying Zoloft again, going into my third week at 100 mg. I’m totally frustrated. I shake like crazy, have horrible anxiety, wake up at least three times every night. Either Zoloft isn’t working for me or I haven’t given it enough time. But, I would love to have my life back. And, of course, because I feel so horrible, the depression kicks in. I have done some of my own research and found lots of women get this from menopause, but my OB/GYN says no way. I have been to a neurologist, had a CT scan,MRI, blood work, everything is normal. Any advice from anyone?
Menopause comes in stages. Perimenopause is a transition into meno-pause (pause of menstruation for at leat one year). There can be many, many signs and symptoms, they are not the same for everyone.
Some women experience mood swings, irritability or increased depression during perimenopause, but the cause of these symptoms may be sleep disruption, often caused by hot flashes. Mood changes may also be caused by factors not related to the hormonal changes or perimenopause.
Fluctuating levels of estrogen and progesterone can cause a whole host of symptoms, but tremors and anxiety are not usually listed.
You could be experiencing symptoms of withdrawal (discontinuation syndrome) from other medications. Withdrawal from antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and other psych meds can cause tremors and anxiety, rebound anxiety and depression, and many other uncomfortable symptoms. Some symptoms can last up to a year, or more, but prozac should end those symptoms.
Prozac (fluoxetine) takes 4 weeks to get to a therapeutic level. You won’t feel the full benefits until then.
Perimenopause and menopause (no period for at least 12 months) can be difficult and the signs and symptoms last years. Some women require treatment and some don’t. Hormone therapy can help but it increases the risk of cancer.
Anti-anxiety for stress, depression, and red face/flushing?
Posted by: | CommentsHello everyone!
Thanks for your interest and time in reading my question.
I have a very bad blushing/flushing problem. Every time I get called on in class or I get a lot of unexpected attention, I get really nervous and go red in the face and studder. While I’m naturally an energetic happy person who loves to have fun and be out there, this has been causing me to become quiet and shy and anti-social. I get nervous and stressed about small situations, such as presentations because I’m afraid of doing something wrong or going red. I have a big-time anxiety problem and it’s making me very depressed and I’m starting to gain weight. So my bottom-line question is, should I ask my doctor for anti-anxiety medication? I’m kind of embarrassed too, because I’m only 15 and I don’t know what my parents will think. Would that help with my problems? What does it do, and if anything, what should I ask for?
I’m tired of living with this extreme anxiety and stress.
Thank you!
Yes, Jake, you need to see your doctor.
Your face flushing, getting hot and weight gain could be caused by a thyroid condition and this can be checked by a simple blood test. Your symptoms are classic so you need to get to your doctor.
I wish you all the best.
Is this soreness normal with stress anxiety ?
Posted by: | CommentsMy chest and upper sides have been aching and sore for a couple days now. Sometimes it feels like its my heart that’s aching but it aches all over my chest. It’s always sore. I haven’t had anxiety in 2 days( good job for me!) but my chest is still aching and sore. When and how will it go away. And should I worry about this soreness? Is it from stress and anxiety?
It is hard to say the cause. I know trouble breathing can cause anxiety. Usually the heart is more lower center chest. I once was severely repeatedly poisoned from a bucket car I had bought that was leaking carbon monoxide in the cab. Long story short I took this green detox powder full strength and woke up that night chest all hurting. It hurt to breathe even the next day around noon. I thought for sure it was my heart and I should see a doctor. It ended up being the green powder dumped all my toxins built up in my liver and it was just a gassy painful experience. Maybe you detoxed or had some type of milk product that had a strong lactose effect on you. I would increase water intake even resort to gatorade so your body absorbs it. Sometimes stress can make you creak up and you need to hydrate the tension away. I would recollect if you’ve eaten anything out of the ordinary too and water will help this expel from your system.
Can sitting around all day, watching tv, make stress & anxiety worse?
Posted by: | CommentsIf you have no job and do not exercise, does living as a couch potato turn stressful?
Well, the more time there is to think the more time you’re giving yourself to allow yourself to think about stuff…

Anxiety- Practice relaxation techniques. When practiced regularly, relaxation techniques such as mindfulness meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, and deep breathing can reduce anxiety symptoms and increase feelings of relaxation and emotional well-being.
Adopt healthy eating habits. Start the day right with breakfast, and continue with frequent small meals throughout the day. Going too long without eating leads to low blood sugar, which can make you feel more anxious.
Reduce alcohol and nicotine. They lead to more anxiety, not less.
Exercise regularly. Exercise is a natural stress buster and anxiety reliever. To achieve the maximum benefit, aim for at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on most days.
Get enough sleep. A lack of sleep can exacerbate anxious thoughts and feelings, so try to get 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep a night.
Google anxiety symptoms and treatment.
Take care
