3 Anxiety Symptoms That Baffled My Doctors 

Every time I get cleared from one thing I get another symptom some where else. It’s crazy. The more I read on different things I get more symptoms it’s crazy.

Muscle twitching was weird..for the longest time i refused to believe that anxiety could cause muscles tp twitch so much.

Hi cherelle..really admire your videos!! And useful advices.. I got COVID last year in dec.. since then got fear and anxiety.. though my kids and husband got no symptoms thankfully.. I have 3 kids age 11(almost 12 in April), 7 and 4 1/2. I’m reluctant to get my kids vaccinated, due to any now or long term side effects.. but bit worried and confuse that should I get them vaccinate or not, did you vaccinate your little ones..can you suggest please!! I’ll really appreciate. God bless you!

Rule no 1 never get braces with health anxiety 😑😑

i remember seeing videos of people with what - at the time - was called “shell shock” in soldiers from both world wars that we would now call advanced PTSD. they couldn’t sit still, had jerks and ticks galore and some had lost the ability to form sentences and words. those men had been through unimaginable stress and trauma but were otherwise perfectly healthy. never underestimate trauma and anxiety as a real cause for very real physical conditions. and also the flip of that i.e the importance of mental health in recovering from a physical condition. thanks Cherelle.

Cherelle,if I’d known earlier about your chanel and known how all encompassing the symptoms of anxiety can be I probably wouldn’t be in the awful state I’m in now,driving myself mad with worry.Thank you for being so open about your own experiences,you have really helped me.

Those weird head sensations, pressure, feeling from head to throat, tingling, the weirdest things

I agree that anxiety symptoms are fascinating and the best thing you can do is to recognise it as an anxiety symptom and accept it as such. Anxiety feeds on anxiety and becomes the cycle of anxiety. Worry over one anxiety symptom causes another anxiety symptom and so on. When I was young I would have periods of feeling swollen lumps under my jaw,went to hospital to get checked for cancer because I thought I had a lump in my throat (globus sensations). Now,many years later and a lifetime of suffering from anxiety, in the last several years I have had deafness from my ear canals swelling and closing,ear pain, extreme Tinnitus and constant mucas in the throat causing me to clear my throat and make a noise,and many other stress related symptoms. Was put on antidepressants way back in 1991 for anxiety,and they caused a dependency that meant I couldn't stop taking them for over 32 years,that only after quitting my job I was able to manage it. That was a year ago,and so I'm having to deal with the fallout from those drugs rather than dealing with the reasons behind the anxiety.So I don't recommend taking them for anxiety,they only mask the cause. Anxiety is not a chemical imbalance but a faulty thought system and taught bad habits that can be changed altered and stopped if enough effort over a period of time is put in,and knowledge and acceptance is key to that progress. That's why your channel is excellent in highlighting that however severe a symptom is,it is still a symptom of a very stressed mind and temporary and transient.

Really interesting, thanks. It never fails to amaze me what the mind can do.

You have no idea how many people's lives you save through your work.

My craziest anxiety symptom so far is a swollen lymph node every time I have prolonged periods of anxiety, 🤷‍♀️

Can totally relate to this and they drive me crazy Pulsatile tinnitus 3 years . Ear pain and Pressure 2 years . Tmj and facial twitch 3 years . Still don't have a clue what's going on but the light headedness driving me mad

Not exactly anxiety is kicking my butt atm all my symptoms are on my left side

Thank you for your videos. I have had health anxiety for years now. A big catalyst for me with health anxiety was I actually did end up having open heart surgery after doctors kept telling me I was fine. So now I struggle for excessive reassurance, but my main symptom now which I hope is anxiety is split second blackouts. They only seem to happen when I'm sitting or driving never when I'm exercising. I have gone to the eye doctor and my family doctor and have been kind of dismissed with the "let's just wait and see" So now I'm convinced it's getting worse and really worried.

I am so sorry you went through this. I had the body jerks for years and its sooo scary, no one believed me, they thought I was making it up and was seeking attention. Another super weird symptom was the crawling sensation on my skin, feeling water dripping on my head and blurry vision. It was all so crazy, I was tested for MS and Parkinson... Years later I understand what I was going through and got a functional diagnosis. As you said, for someone with health anxiety, the more anxious you get the more symptoms show up and makes things 100% worse. Its a vicious circle...

My brother died recently and have gone through a kaleidoscope of anxiety symptoms. One of which, is Olfactory Hallucinations. I was, and still experiencing these hallucinations. I constantly smell smoke. I suck on cough drops, which helps temporarily. My neurologist insisted it was NOT anxiety and said it could be the first sign of a brain tumor, which I've read. After an exhaustive search on Google and other sources, I've come to realize it is either anxiety or can be linked to a sinus issue. The medical profession is clueless to anxiety and its effects on the body. Thanks for sharing!!!!

I get anxiety so bad I get scary head symptoms and one of them is feeling like I'm being knocked on my head it was so weird

my best one thus far was having severe pancreatic insufficiency, was put on creon and told i'd be on it for life and it doesn't heal, it fully recovered last year so whatever it was or is it wasn't in line with medical convention at all.

I am really thankful to you , i got most of your symptoms and in terrible anxiety ,after i listen to ur channel now i realize and getting very much better now . Thank you dear . God bless you

You don't realize but your just like a goddess here, helping out ppl with anxiety...

The fever thing.. I had fever for 14 days(100-101C)after my grandpa passed away.. That was a terrible thing.. Doctors couldn't find out the reason.. It went away after i stopped worrying about it..

Thank you SO much for this video. I've had this first symptom for like a month now and been terrified I had cancer. It always feels like I am warm even though I am not that hot. I thought I had carcinoid syndrome and was so scared and convinced I got the 24 hr urine test and a full blood count which was clear. I think it is just an anxiety thing

My health anxiety becoming worse day by day last night i have pain in roof mouth 😭😭😭 i google it then it become more worse i not handle any more now i think i have hole in roof mouth 😭😭😭

I was gonna come here and say like "hey small RU-vidr to the next" but it looks like you got this handled unlike my anxiety and I'm happy your open with these thing you got a lot of confidence unlike me Edit: I'm not expecting you to read this

Been going through nonstop brain fog and health anxiety for 3 months now, having up and down days. Last week has been rough, thinking I have every possible brain condition there is bc I just can’t seem to shake the DPDR feeling. Went through your videos today and it definitely helps to hear about others experiences, so thank you!

L-theanine 200mg or 100mg, Apigenin from Camomile, Lemon Balm, passion flower, tart cherry has melatonin and stuff that helps with muscle strains from being anxious, Magnisium Theorate.

Thanks Cherelle. I've been worrying about all these symptoms for far too long. Putting this out there has relieved a lot of my stresses. I seriously appreciate your bravery. Stay strong, persevere 💪

does anyone have symptoms with their bones?

Absolutely yes to the low grade fever. Constantly 37.8-37.9! I also smell burning! I googled this thinking I was having a brain tumour!

I'm currently experiencing the same jerks and also have a feeling of buzzing/shakiness in my body when I'm at rest. Having an MRI on Friday and on the waiting list for neurologist at Walton in Liverpool. Have got a 9 year old and a 5 month old to look after. Absolutely petrified. I had a lumbar puncture done a few weeks ago due to an ongoing headache so don't know whether it's side effects of the procedure, something else neurological or severe anxiety x

I’ve gotten fevers from anxiety as soon as I calmed down it went away

Hello and thank you so much for your videos. I've been suffering from myoclonic and hypnic jerks for about a year now and have seen many doctors and specialists. At this point, I don't know if anxiety is the sole culprit or just a trigger. May I ask what seizure medication you took in addition to the valium? Benzos do help my ordeal as well but I take them sparingly to avoid dependence

I m facing whole body twitching than comes and goes only for second at one spot...

The smell one is me , like burning and stuff.

I have the smell thing!!

I have swelling in my left side under my breast I am worried about my spleen.

Happy that you got with a great neurologist!

Great video as always

After every single function I have to go to I get a low grade fever😳😫

My craziest symptoms have been 24/7 dizziness, constant nausea, blurry vision and eye floaters. I also once had a random low grade fever with extreme nausea, but no vomiting. I also had body aches with it and all of the symptoms only lasted for a single day. I chalked it up to maybe a weird 24 hour bug, but I've always wondered if it were due to anxiety. Another time, I woke up and it felt like I was over heated. I was extremely nauseous, because of feeling so hot, so i walked outside in the middle of winter and sat in the snow to cool down and then I got really shaky, threw up and had diarrhea. I believe this was also an anxiety symptom. It felt like food poisoning, but 3 other people ate exactly what I ate that day and were fine.

Is there anyone here that literally thinks they’re gonna have a heart attack all the time? Like constantly thinking about it?

Anyone get just intense dizziness and head pressure? I have other symptoms but those are the ones that just bug me non stop. For a couple of years now.

This is not anxiety. It is an acute stress response. You were having olfactory hallucinations. Your sympathetic system must have been off the scale.

Anyone’s legs and arms hurt like feels like the circulation is weak tingling in arm and hand it’s horrible

Hot flashes and low grade fever are real signs of anxiety. I thought I was having Lymphoma or even Premature Ovarian Failure.

You are amazing. Your honesty is refreshing. I have had multiple symptoms.

Good morning from Kentucky, USA!

Hearing voice in my head specially before sleep

It’s sad but the medical community - especially GPs in UK are pretty much clueless about anxiety and the huge range of symptoms that can present, plus nocebo side effects of medications. When drs outright deny that this could be a possibility it makes things worse for an anxious patient. I agree they need to rule out other serious causes, but they need to gen up on anxiety (also serious!) and not write its potential physical symptoms off!

If I were in the UK I would do a Linden Method retreat. Look into it!

my anxiety over my health getting worst

So my latest anxiety symptoms is hot forearms and the habit of checking under my chin for lumps! I've had terrible acid reflux which has burned my throat and caused swelling of the tonsils. Now I keep feeling for lumps under my chin thinking it's cancer :( I've caused my lymph nodes to swell I think from constantly pushing under my chin/jaw

cherelle did you ever experience high blood pressure caused by anxiety-related disorders?

I definitely suffered from the smell symptoms i keep smelling burning grass that was not there

Its only happened a couple of times but i smelt burning on occasions that was terrifying as well as the hypnic jerks mime were awful i felt like i was having a seizure

I experienced Myoclonus as well, along with back pain, leg pain, fibro pain, my middle ear Myoclonus might also be related 🤷‍♀️

Funny a lot has popped up after co vid!

Bestie are you mixed with black? We look kind of similar so just asking lol.

Just got diagnosed with functional neurology disorder myself at Walton hospital in Liverpool yesterday. I'm only 30 years old. Absolutely sucks x

ever heard of uncontrolled vocalisations with myoclonus

I get this thing where my right leg feels like it gets stuck if that makes sense. Like it doesn't want to go. Then my stomach sinks as it feels like I'm going to trip or fall down. So strange. I also get about 40 other symptoms including myoclonus, twitching, etc. Oh another one is - I'm always stuff up - especially my ears. Like there's fluid in there. When I'm on a plane it feels like my eardrums might burst. Been checked out by scores of doctors with no real confirmed answers. Sound like anxiety? I hope so.

I have hypnic jerks as we speak it’s so hard to go anywhere any suggestions what could help

🙏🏾💙

I m dealing Now with low grade fever and heat body temperature and itchy skin burning sensation

Anyone experience random muscleaches?

I’ve had a lot of weird anxiety symptoms, the one that stands out the most to me though is reactive hypoglycemia. Food triggers my blood sugars to drop to dangerous levels and so does exercise. The lowest I’ve been so far is 2.2 mmol. Doctors can’t find a reason as to why this is happening, they think it’s from my anxiety. Some others are full body pins and needles, burning sensations all over my body to the point where I feel like I’ve actually been burnt. Even the feeling of my soft bed sheets hurt my skin, I couldn’t stand it. I had this weird ‘head pressure’ feeling before that lasted 8 months, I spent most of that time in bed because I felt like my head was too heavy to hold up. One side of my face felt HUGE too. I had severe vertigo with this as well. I was really convinced that I had a brain tumor but my MRI was normal. Anxiety can be brutal, the symptoms you see online when you google it do not do it justice at all. Thank you so much for speaking out about this, it’s super helpful and makes me feel less alone ❤️

Have u checked ur thyroid??

Burning feet and finger tips

didn't you think to do a daily vlog? :)

Anxiety can cause low Temps too

I get really bad sparkling in my vision, like the blue entopic phenomenon but even when looking around a light room, not just at the sky. Had my eyes tested twice and my optic nerve checked etc, no issues there at all. It is pretty much constant:( anyone else?

Do you think you may have got these symptoms from a virus like similar to having long covid

I have had all of these as well

Has anyone ever had an abnormal ekg due to anxiety?

Cherelle, i havent talked to you for a while but i did now and i see you are wearing a ring. Are you engaged? If you are congratulations and every blessing.

I get really freaked out over cognitive issues. Things like forgetfulness and confusion that seems be excessive. My scariest one was extreme vertigo lasting hours and hours per day, nonstop. The world looked and felt like I was on a rocking boat.

I've watched every one of this ladies videos and I swear she makes it up
