Why Do I Feel That in my Body? Explanations of Bodily Symptoms Due to Anxiety, Stress and Panic
www.paigepradko.com/bodyanxiety
Our brain often overreacts and activates fight-or-flight when there is no real emergency and is instead reacting to normal worry and stress. What makes this worse is when we misinterpret the bodily symptoms as dangerous thereby increasing and prolonging out time in fight-or-flight. This can also result in neuro connections associating certain bodily sensations with anxiety, setting us up for panic disorder, a condition where our own internal bodily sensations trigger panic. It is therefore important to understand the actual body mechanics behind each type of bodily sensation during high anxiety and panic episodes. This video and PDF will review different symptoms of high anxiety and panic like heart palpitations, and rapid heart beats along with dizziness, nausea and difficulties breathing and explain the body mechanics of why you feel these symptoms and to help you normalize versus catastrophize these bodily sensations.
By learning your body mechanics during anxiety episodes, you will find that you are able to better cope with the symptoms, knowing that they are not dangerous despite how they may feel.

Why Do I Feel That in my Body? Explanations of Bodily Symptoms Due to Anxiety, Stress and Panic
www.paigepradko.com/bodyanxiety
@paigepradko thanks for your videos. It really helped me. I have pure o ocd from many years and trying to take medicine like paxidep for 3-4 daysbut it always increases my anxiety. Should i take it?
Please reply to my query once you get time
@@edustudy5095 , the medication you mentioned is an SSRI antidepressant and is recommended for OCD. I am not a physician and cannot give medical advice. But, I recently heard a lecture from a psychiatrist that specializes in OCD. She said that having an anxiety reaction is a good sign that the medication will be effective in that person. She also recommended that people begin on smaller doses and increasing the dose every 2-4 weeks as the side effects decrease.
Thank you so much!
Thanks Paige! Your videos on anxiety and approach to treatment are second to none! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you G P. I appreciate it! Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙏😊
Understanding how your body works during panic attacks it the first step to recovery! Really insightful content!
Thank you so much 🙏😊
glad for another video! hope you are well.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for the help
Happy to help 😊
I always get nausea and heart palpitations. I can’t sit still either. I have to keep moving. I’ve been severely agoraphobic for 8 years and OCD for a while too. My bf has OCD too and anxiety as well. This was very informative. Can’t wait to read the download!
Those symptoms are so uncomfortable. I hope this video and download help you to reduce your worry when you experience them. Thank you for your comments.
Thank you for your videos! For me, the anxiety happens during lectures with 150+ other students. I am almost certain it’s because I haven’t been in a physical classroom setting since March 2020, so readjusting has been extremely difficult for me. Seeing people and talking to them makes me anxious. I feel extreme panic even by just sitting in class, I start hyperventilating and sweating. I am trying to expose myself to these situations more and more so I can rewire my brain to not feel anxious, like it did before March 2020. What’s weird is that I never had these feelings of anxiety before, until the pandemic and lockdown/isolation began. Exposing yourself and learning to be comfortable with your anxiety is definitely easier said than done!
Hi Mary. I am so sorry you are experiencing those symptoms. You are not alone. As a therapist that treats people with anxiety disorders including agoraphobia, I have never had so many calls and emails asking for help. We have heard and seen so fear messages about Covid and being close to others the past 2 years. We have also been more secluded and isolated than before the pandemic. Our brain has associated those 2 conditions. Therefore, when we leave our safe place, our home and are in different environments and are surrounded by others, our brain believes we are in danger. It is just a matter of time and exposures until your brain learns once again that you are safe. I have a playlist on how to do exposures on my playlist page if you need any extra help.
@@PaigePradkoTherapy thanks so much for your reply! I will check those videos out, your videos really help me.
Your sessions are always clear and comforting. Thank you
Thank you. Glad you like them!
Very informative, thank you
Very welcome
Hello!
Your video is really really helpful. Thank you so much!
Thank you. Glad it is helpful 🙏❤️
Thank you again Paige for a great video. Sensations such as Missed beats and heart flutters I find discomforting and I totally agree once you understand what they are it makes it a little easier 👍🏻
Yes…we can get even more alarmed if we do not understand that it is anxiety driven. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏❤️
Thank you for another excellent and informative video and the valuable pdf to go along:)
My pleasure, Mamta. Thank you for watching. Love the video you sent me. Thank you 🙏❤️
thank you again!
You’re welcome, Carol 🙏❤️
I loved this video!!! It was extremely helpful for me!! Thank your husband for taking the time out of his busy schedule to help us anxiety suffers!! ❤️🙏
I am so happy to hear that, Mary. I will tell him. 🙏❤️
Thank you so so so much for this video!!!! I’m struggling with severe anxiety depersonalization and derealization disorder and your videos are unbelievably helpful thank you!!!!
Hi Faith. I am sorry that you are suffering from dpdr. That is one area that I continue to research and am dedicated to finding more effective ways to help people. I believe we are still at beginning stages of really understanding how to help the brain heal from dpdr. I have been particularly interested In polyvagal theory and how we can use the nervous system to heal dpdr. I hope to make another video about the latest research to heal dpdr this year. Wishing you the best in your recovery.
Great content Paige.
Thank you, Larry.😊
God bless the both of you! This is the most informative video I’ve ever seen on this subject. Very helpful indeed, I will be contacting Paige soon for treatment.
I am so glad that you found our video informative. Thank you for watching and commenting. 🙏❤️
Thank you so much for this video . You haven't a clue how much it helps me when you make them and for all the people who commented in bout palpitations and heart flutters I feel some sense of relieve knowing I'm not alone . If I never had those horrible symptoms like flutters I'd probably recover from anxiety they set me back every time
Sorry that you experience that, Ian. I’m glad the video and comments help.
Thank you
You're welcome ☺️
It was an excellent, informative video👏🏻Thank you Paige and John 🙏 What a house, science gushing out from😄
Thank you. Glad you liked it 🙏❤️
This episode is so helpful in understanding the physiology of the body’s responses to stress. This information can help me in reducing the frequency and duration of my anxiety.
I am so glad it was helpful 😊
Thankyou so much godbless
You’re welcome 🙏❤️
This is really good. It's eased me because I've had palpitations etc, worries that I might have a heartattack or worse. But it's human nature. The primordial can never disappear, we've named it fear and it's the beast in all of us that needs a leash. It's irrational most of the time, but your body fights potentially threatening situations. It just needs education.
Thanks Andrew. I love your comment…very poetic. ❤️
I like the word, very real but not dangerous... It makes me motivated and relax.. your right doc, if only I can understand the body mechanics it lower the level of anxiety and probably it well disappeared..thanks for your guidance doc, your excellent technique.. give me hope, so I can go on with my life.. and probably 1 day this anxiety & panic disorders well disappeared..
thanks again for the videos awesome,.. 👍🏻
Yes, I liked that phrase too. People feel real symptoms and sensations, but they are not dangerous when they are caused by anxiety. I can sense that you are getting stronger and increasing your ability to accept anxiety sensations in your body. Thank you for watching and commenting, Rommel. 🙏❤️
I always say I wish you were my wife ,I go to my wife for help for my anxiety and she regrettably can’t help me and she feels bad about that but I now know to accept that she’s not a trained professional such as yourself,thanks for the great info
Hi William. I am glad that you find my videos helpful. That is sweet of you to say. 😊
Hi Paige, your videos on anxiety and sleep disturbance helped me a lot recently. I’m a new mother and have been having a hard time dealing with anxiety (particularly around sleep and health) and pregnancy/birth trauma. Are you able to talk more about PPA and how to combat this sudden huge life change? Thank you so much
Hi Anna. First, congratulations on the birth of your child. I also had quite traumatic birth experiences with my sons and understand completely the trauma and anxiety and sleep problems you are dealing with. I will add that topic to my list. I wish you healing and sleep and new found joy as you raise your little one.🙏❤️
I was getting rashes and hives recently because of anxiety then I got panic and health anxiety because of it thanks for these videos Paige gonna watch them helping me alot
Glad they are helping you, Pete.
Hi Paige,
Me again. I was wondering if you are still doing the online agoraphobia programme. PS I watch all your videos they are excellent and guide me as to what I should be expecting from a therapist. Thank you for taking the time to make them, upload them and answer everyone's. I learn alot from your replies to other people's comments.
Hi Charlotte. I am still working on the Agoraphobia course, and a course for OCD and Pure O. The OCD course will come out in March/April. Then, I will be focusing on Agoraphobia and Panic Disorder. An incredible amount of work goes into the development of a course and I want it to be tested before I offer it to the public. But, it is a top priority in my life to offer a guided, evidenced based program that walks people through step-by-step what to do during exposures. I plan on having more personalized treatment with this program as I know that people are often isolated and really need the guidance and support and encouragement.
Love your explanation went to doctors mullion times and said anxiety but dont understand whats happening that's why many patients going to a anxiety loop doctor didnt explain what s going on
I agree. I think it helps to understand what is actually happening in your body to cause the symptom. 😊
Wow New Video Awesome
Its 11 PM in India
Will watch it thoroughly tomorrow & write my comments .. Arjun
Hi Arjun. I always look forward to your comments. I tried to get Ollie to cooperate and make an appearance in the video. I will try again in my next video😊
Bloating happens too. It's a terrible feeling because that can exacerbate the shortness of breath feeling and heart palpitations. Speaking from experience.
Yes, absolutely. That can certainly make the symptoms worse.
Hi Dr. Pradko. I’ve been following your exceptional work and I was wondering if you could do a video about retroactive jealousy OCD. A lot of people including me suffering cause of this monster would really appreciate that. In particular it would be really helpful to understand how to apply ERP to this. Thank you
Thank you for the suggestion. I have had clients with this theme, and want you to know that you are not alone. I think it is much more common than we realize because people are perhaps uncomfortable bringing it up. I will add this to my list. I can give you a few suggestions. Ask yourself what your core fear is underneath the jealousy. Is it that you fear you may lose your partner or that they might not be satisfied with you or that they might not be morally sound or right for you? There are endless fear scenarios and everyone is different. Once you understand your core fear, you can create ways to expose yourself to that core fear. You could do that by writing a script about your worse case scenario possibly happening. Then…the response prevention part of ERP is always the most important. What do you do when your fear is triggered? Do you ruminate? Ask for reassurance? Question your partner? Look at past pictures or texts or social media? You will have to resist all of those urges and compulsions….not just during the exposures…but forever. It is amazing how our brain can rewire when we practice response prevention all of the time. My next suggestion is to add the I. A.M. incidental ERP technique. This will keep you in ERP several times a day…every time the thoughts pop up. Here is a playlist that includes how to use a script and my I. A.M. technique. czcams.com/play/PL1lUhuKpYUYqKvEwlGXoRPDu_8blhbaq-.html
Thanks again for the suggestion and I think it is awesome that you want to actively work on this.
P.s. I have an online course for OCD and Pure O coming out at the end of March if you are interested in more help. Just leave me a message at PaigePradko.com
Here is a link to help you with ERP: www.paigepradko.com/erp
@@PaigePradkoTherapy thank you so much Dr. You are an amazing professionist
Retroactive jealous ocd ..hmm what u mean can u explain to me I think I may be looking for this 🤔
Hi and thank you too you both for a GREAT video. Say you have a panick attack and you feel the symptoms you describe and your sure its your heart. After the all clear from all the test how do lose the fear of your heart after this triggers us. Thanks again.
Hi Rick.
What you are describing is a condition I see often and treat often. It begins with cardiac bodily sensations like chest pressure, palpitations and skipped beats brought on my high anxiety, stress or panic and the cardiac symptoms or discomfort becomes the source of the fear. Then, safety behaviors and avoidance behaviors and worry and reassurance seeking are added to the original fear. This can develop into cardio phobia/health anxiety. This can unfortunately really rob people of their joy in life if it is not treated and it is widely misunderstood in therapy. Talk therapy is not helpful here. What is helpful is fully understanding the reinforcing cycle and using similar methods used to treat OCD with heavy emphasis on response prevention.
I treat people with and without cardiac medical diagnoses and have developed a course where I teach people step by step what to do to recover. The demand for help became so great during the pandemic that I felt the need to create the course to help more people. If you are interested, you can learn more here: www.paigepradko.com/healthanxiety.
@@PaigePradkoTherapy thank you so much I will get this for sure.
Hi Paige,
I had an ECG and a blood test both of which were normal. I asked my GP if my heart would be able to withstand exposure therapy and she said it would even though I am very underweight. I then asked her if I would be alright if my heart rate reached 150 beats per minute and stayed there through the whole exposure. She advised me if this happened to go to accident and emergency (A&E). My understanding of exposure therapy is to show the brain that panic attacks are not dangerous if I go to A& E won't that reinforce the belief that panic attacks are dangerous and further entrench my agoraphobia. Thank you.
Hi Charlotte. Nice to see you again here. I have been wondering how you were. It is common for your heart rate to go up during exposures. However, I am not your physician and do not know the reasons why your physician would be concerned. Perhaps they are concerned about your weight and how that impacts your health. Would your physician also be against you raising your heart rate during exercise? It sounds like your physician has advised you on certain restrictions and this does make it more difficult to do exposures. And yes, if you went to the ER, your brain would not be learning that you are safe.
Recently my latest symptom is feeling feverish and slight headaches. When I relax for about 30 minutes it goes away.
Headaches can be a symptom of anxiety for some, but fever is not a symptom of anxiety. 😢
@@PaigePradkoTherapy I have heard from other people too that they felt slightly feverish during times of anxiety but went away when they relaxed. Could that too be the issue, because it happens sometimes when am very anxious with heart palpitations and I have than 3 full blood works, 2 EKG test, 2 MRI test, 1 d dimmer, 1 head CT and 1 chest x ray and the doctors says am fine which lead to my recent health anxiety and panic disorder diagnosis. They only found out that I am iron deficient which am treating too.
@@sotravelghllc, you can get a hot or cold flush with anxiety. 😊
I love this video !
But Paige I have two questions. The first one it is normal to have sweaty hands when we are anxious ? And the seconde one : does it take time to the symptoms to finally disapear ? Thank you Paige and from France we love you
Hello to you Haroun from France. Yes…we can get sweaty hands …and all over when we are anxious. Try your best to welcome the sweatiness to stay, because this kind of message calms the brain by using the paradoxical approach of welcoming something that we do not want to have. The more we allow these uncomfortable symptoms the faster they will go away.
Thanks Paige! You didn't talk about symptoms like hot temperature and profuse sweating. That irritate me alot.
I am sorry I didn’t mention that symptom. It is very common and happens to me too. In this video I do discuss sweating: czcams.com/video/6I8MXoEZTBE/video.html.
Thankyou for this I’m going through the menopause also agoraphobic trying to get out of the maze so in hell a bit right now xx
I am so sorry, Kerry. I will have more help for you coming out this year. Hang in there…you are not alone. 🙏❤️
Hello dr Paige first of all id like to thankyou so much as all your videos have been extremely helpful and i have a question im currently having ocd and generalized anxiety disorder. i have been following your techniques with the CALM method and also ERP and was wondering if using both methods together would be ok? Because i am afraid that it might cancel out each other primarily on the L (logic) part which isnt used in ERP.
I read one of your replies on a comment on a different video where you said to not use cognitive restructuring before an ERP session since it calms the mind and reduces the effectiveness of ERP since the brain isnt surprised. My question is is it ok to use cognitive restructuring after an ERP session since i have both ocd and generalized anxiety disorder?
Hi. That’s a great question and tells me that someone is actually listening to my videos. Lol. You can use cognitive restructuring for generalized anxiety, but you are correct, it does not have effectiveness for OCD. My advice to you would be to use methods for your anxiety that also help your ocd. What I am referring to would be methods where you fully accept and welcome anxiety. Anxiety is paradoxical. If we try not to have it, we make it worse by activating our fear center. If we welcome it, it calms down. Try your best to say things like, “I am willing whether anxiety shows up or not.” If you really do want to use cognitive restructuring, possibly wait until your ERP is complete. Thanks for the great question. 🙏❤️
@@PaigePradkoTherapy hi paige again thankyou so much for your reply so basically what your saying is that erp works for both ocd and general anxiety ? And that cognitive restructuring is not necessary? Oh and also thankyou for your reply to my other question as well on another of your videos 🙏
If I were treating someone with both OCD and generalized anxiety, I would concentrate on ERP and acceptance based therapies like ACT and mindfulness based therapies. I would not do much cognitive restructuring, although sometimes logic makes its way into conversations. If I were working with a person without OCD that had generalized anxiety, I might use some cognitive restructuring with acceptance techniques as well. I tend to go with what works for that person…but stay away from using it with OCD. Boy…I am long winded tonight. 😂
@@PaigePradkoTherapy hahah sorry for the long questions. Again thanks for the replies now i have a clear understanding of what i need to do 🙏🙏
Thank you for the video! I suffer from OCD, and sometimes I get anxiety for no reason, especially when I'm doing exposures. It feels like something is wrong, but nothing really is, and it takes forever to go away(days, months). Is there anything I can do about this?
Hi Ash. I have a few videos on OCD that I am posting the first week in April. One of them is called, “Do this for Anxiety during ERP & Exposures”. It sounds like you will benefit from that video. The good news is that it sounds like you are doing a good job doing ERP, because if it feels like something is wrong, it is a sign that you are triggering your fears and doing your best to tolerate the discomfort. ERP is a process and takes less time if you are able to stay in continuous response prevention mode. Here is a pdf that may be helpful: www.paigepradko.com/erp.
@@PaigePradkoTherapy Thank you for the reply! I'll make sure to check out the pdf. But does this thought ever go away, for me its been on my mind 24/7 for a few months now, I've tried accepting and carrying on with my day, but it just doesn't seem to work. Its also been interfering with work.
Is it possible that you are engaging with the thought with mental compulsions like checking if it is there, wishing it away, ruminating about it, etc. Those kinds of mental activities can feed the cycle. There are several different ways to practice ERP with a thought. If you need help with this, I cover ERP for intrusive thoughts in a new on demand, online course being offered beginning in April. If you are interested in learning more, send me a message on paigepradko.com and I will make sure to send you more information.
@@PaigePradkoTherapy yes I think I do ruminate about it to a certain extent, and when I don't, the anxiety and thought just doesn't leave, for weeks even.
Hello paige i have another question regarding ocd. Whenever i have a compulsion to check something what i do is i picture a friend of mine who does not have ocd and ask my self what would he do if he was in my position and i would say he would not check and go on continuing his day and i should also follow in his path and by using this i find it easier to resist doing my compulsions so I want to ask if this is a form or reassurance seeking or not?
I like your method. Sometimes it helps us by asking ourselves, “What would someone do in this situation who didn’t have ocd?” The only issue could be if you do that every single time, it could become a ritual or a compulsion itself. If used on a brief occasion, than it would help you to not do the compulsion.
@@PaigePradkoTherapy so basically its fine to do this but just dont do it too much? 😅
Hello Paige, I’m Paul how are you keeping? I was hospitalised for 6 months back in 1992. I had awful thoughts that everything I touched was dirty & I thought I would go blind if I stood beside dogs dirt on the pavement. I also got thoughts I wanted my mother to die & that I wanted horrible things to happen to missing children. Used to pour over all these stories in the papers. It was really terrible. Thought I was never told I had OCD at the time though. Only that I had bad anxiety. Do you think I should go back to the doctors for an up to date diagnosis?? I’m very certain I have OCD. Though I don’t feel as bad now as what I did.
Hi Paul. Yes, it absolutely sounds like you had OCD. If you are not having any flair ups, you are not in need of treatment or a diagnosis. But, if you do need help, you will want to make sure you have the correct diagnosis and treatment. I am so sorry you experienced that and likely did not get effective treatment at the time.
@@PaigePradkoTherapy thanks for replying to me Paige. It’s great to have someone to talk to about this. I felt quite lonely and isolated for many years. Didn’t want to tell my parents the thoughts had flared up again in case they didn’t understand or thought I was crazy.
What about high blood pressure during anxiety period is it dangerous or it will resolve on its own when we get the anxiety under control
That’s a great question and I am sure this depends on the person and if it is solely driven by anxiety. Anxiety symptoms themselves are not harmful or dangerous.
I have gad, but moust symptoms are overlap with depression too. Is that means that may also may have depression? I think it is normal to be depressed when suffering with anxiety. No one can be feel glad or happy for having anxiety.
Our moods vary day by day, and even minute by minute. You are correct in that anxiety can sometimes cause a person to feel depressed.
I definitely have health anxiety, as well as OCD. Where and how can I find a therapist who specializes in this that takes insurance. I had a therapist but she didn't understand OCD so it was very confusing for me so I kind of just stopped going.
Hi Shannon. I do have some treatment options for you if you are interested. You may message me at paigepradko.com
Iam a medical student I had anxiety as early as I remember it got worse during the college days and I began to experience panic attacks.
during my psychiatry round I was told that ocd is incurable horrible disease and after that I began to worry that I might have it... After that it all went bad, I began to experience intrusive thoughts of sexual nature and would panic that this must mean that I actually have ocd l couldn't sleep or eat and became very concerned with my mental health l would watch videos about ocd and how to treat it all days.. Then I would worry about having this particular theme or that and then have it and so on.. So what should I do should I continue to educate myself about ocd and how to overcome it or should I treat it as health anxiety and don't look it up and accept having ocd without doing anything about it.
But when I have intrusive thoughts l feel this urge to search the Internet for way to get over ocd and would search for days and days about it.
So how can I do erp for this type of worry.
I hope you can guide me.
Hi. I apologize as I just came across your comment. Because your intrusive thoughts seem to shift, I recommend educating yourself on a variety of ERP techniques. Should you be interested in learning how to treat OCD and intrusive thoughts, I have a new course where I cover how to do ERP on 18 different subtypes of OCD along with how to sustain recovery. You may find out more here:

Hello Ma’am. I am doing erp for my ocd rumination. I had thoughts like what if I don’t recover, when will this feeling go away. General sadness feeling. I am doing active erp for all the thoughts. I am suffering from male pattern baldness. Which is also a worry for me and even before ocd hit I was thinking of hair transplant in near future. Not very soon though. Through erp I have mostly worked on my major ocd thoughts until 2 days ago my hair loss ocd hit kinda bad. Now I can’t stop looking at each persons hair that I meet or see passing by. Just checking their hair loss or no hair loss. How to do erp for something that I see 1000 times or 1000 people every day. Now I can’t even look at their faces but my eyes straight away go to their hair. Help please. Thank you :)
Hi Aditya. I am so sorry that you are suffering. OCD can really be initiated from any thought or image, literally anything. But, what I want you to think about is what your core fear may be. Are you afraid that no one will be attracted to you and you will be alone? What is the fear and what are you having doubt or uncertainty about? Then, you can do ERP on something that triggers both your obsessions and your core fear. Your compulsions seem to be looking at people’s hairline and rumination. Do your best to stop the compulsions. If you need help with doing ERP, as there are several variations of ERP, I have an online course coming out in March. If you are interested, please contact me at PaigePradko.com. And, this may help as well: www.paigepradko.com/erp
Thanks for sharing this informative video, but feeling bad that why people go through all this because anxiety and depression issues make life difficult and then these kind of feelings and sensations make it more worse
Yes…we are human and at times we struggle and suffer. We need not only self compassion but compassion for each other.🙏❤️
Im sorry about my english ) Hello..I want your help..I suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder in checking for two years..but in the recent period I have been suffering from a lot of pressure, not regarding what raises my suspicions..but from the doubt itself..I was in a situation that forced me to make sure As usual..I suffer from severe pressure and I just want to get rid of it. I don’t care like before if it is right or wrong..If I finish quickly, I feel comfortable, then my conscience builds that I did not resist my doubts, but what really hurts me is that I will do it again, not because I am wrong.. This is an obsession that I must resist or use it to get rid of the first obsession.!!?
Help me please
I am so sorry that you are struggling with this doubt and your compulsions. I have an online course that will be available in a few weeks that will teach you step-by-step what to do to practice ERP and resist those compulsions. I believe that you sent me a message on paigepradko.com and I will let you know when my course becomes available.
I had stomach one years ago for around 2 years seams nine as moved around over the years
Yes…your sensations and symptoms like to jump around. It seems like as soon as your brain accepts that something isn’t dangerous, it jumps to something else to get your attention again. I am sure that is very frustrating.
@@PaigePradkoTherapy is there a reason why my brain is doing this I suppose it's trying to protect me causing the tension
It is likely related to OCD health anxiety. Because you notice the shoulder tension and have some concern about it, the brain believes it must be dangerous. And because of that, your brain keeps reminding you. And this creates a hyper focus on that area of the body.
If You were to focus on the big toe of your left foot, you would begin to feel your toe. Before I said that, you didn’t notice your toe. Now if you noticed your toe had an ache and you began to check on your toe with concern, it would soon become a major focus causing anxiety.
Your shoulders have many muscles and ligaments and facia …there is a lot going on around your shoulders. It is quite normal to feel tension there when stressed. However, most people’s attention does not stay fixated on the shoulder unless there was indeed a real physical problem that would show up on an mri. If there is no real physical problem, then it is likely psychological and caused by obsessively checking and hyper focusing on your shoulder. Treatment for health anxiety is what I would recommend.
@@PaigePradkoTherapy yeah it's the pain the subconscious must be focusing on it.ive had full MRI spinal nothing found exrays on shoulders diagnosed fybro spectrum disorder.and migraine of the body by neurologist.its these unspecific diagnosis what gave me more anxiety.perfectionism and anxiety hi hand in hand.like u said by a TMS doctor agrees with yourself a OCD pain disorder.by the way have people with OCD got very good long term memories because seams to me they have as long as meditation hasn't damaged that.people talk about anxiety muscle tension mine never lets up I had a haitus hernia before muscle skeletal started that was horrendous none stop acid.sure anxiety made that severe to.
I was thinking of many problems about my Mental health in reality i was having no Mental health problems and now I have
Given so much time to it that now iam always thinking about it not even a single
Second of my day, arguing with myself
That iam having this or that and you can say that I have developed rumination on my own please help me getting out of this please iam feeling hopeless!!!!!
Thinking about it all day long
I am sorry that you are struggling with rumination. I am not sure if this will apply or help you, but here is a video for rumination. czcams.com/video/BNK3sthrcyQ/video.html
I had globas for two years then chest 2 years horrendous then now shoulders all mine have been constant though
Yes, the symptoms that bother you and attract your hyper focus seem to shift around your body. Do your best to not respond and shift your focus to what you are doing instead of what you notice in your body.
@@PaigePradkoTherapy it makes cracking popping sounds so it makes some tension in the shoulders.must be the fascia to tightening pain does keep your attention to what is happening though it does move over years as said but not in weeks like alot I read.
A work up my GP didn't no what globus was
Many physicians are not concerned about bodily responses to anxiety because they are not physically dangerous. I do wish physicians were trained in recognizing symptoms of anxiety disorders, panic and health anxiety.
Its 2:55 afternoon in India now , Corona is making a comeback here again slowly.. Day before yesterday & yesterday was lockdown.. Monday to Friday is normal as of now.... People are contracting OMICRON virus here after Corona (despite receiving 2 complete doses of Covishield)
Bye Madam, OLLIE Dear We Miss You (This is a healthcare CZcams Channel and not a Petcare Channel) Ha Ha Ha Ha
Nice to hear in your previous video that you have attended a Indian Hindu Wedding, it must have been a great unique experience to you, very colourful are our weddings.. My cousin staying in Newyork married a Indian origin girl staying in Michigan recently, we had a reception function in India.. It was a simple event here owing to the Corona Virus
I am sorry to hear that India is experiencing a spike in the virus again. We are as well in the US and Michigan, where I live. Hopefully, this is a sign that our immunity is building and that the virus is having to find new variants. Eventually, this will not be as deadly as we keep receiving vaccinations and keep building up our immunity. And, I love that your New York cousin married a woman from Michigan. The world is smaller than we realize. When traveling throughout Europe in the past and would run into people that I knew. I love that we can be connected here with people all over the world as I cherish your friendship. Stay safe my friend 🙏❤️

You really should disclose you're selling a course for $397. Seems like so many CZcams folks are actually selling.
Yes. I like to share mental health information on CZcams. I recently created an online courses to further help people that are unable to get in with a specialized therapist yet need the help. I don’t want to come across as selling, yet I would like people to know there is more help available if needed. 😊
