Heavy body feeling

These are very, very common symptoms of anxiety and will cause you no harm. It is just the result of excess adrenaline in your bloodstream. What you are feeling is the adrenaline causing palpitations. Pain around the heart is caused by contracted muscles around the heart (caused by adrenaline). The pain of a heart attack is rarely felt in the heart. If you have been checked out (which you have) and found to be ok, believe it. You are experiencing the symptoms of anxiety, that's all. It can do you no harm at all, apart from feeling uncomfortable. Your mind, however, is also in an anxiety state. It will therefore be thinking 'catastrophically'. Everything becomes an emergency (in your mind) when in this state. Do not believe it. You are ok and will be ok. Try to ignore it. I have thought I was dying many thousands of times but I'm still here and there is nothing wrong with me. This is a very common experience for people in an anxiety state. Go and see you doctor for reassurance. They may offer you some temporary medication to help with the symptoms. Propranalol can be useful as it slows your heart rate down and sometimes this is all that you need to 'step out' of the anxiety state. Good luck and don't worry. This is a very common experience affecting thousands of people every day. It is distressing and disturbing but can do you no harm. Your heart is a very strong muscle and can easily withstand very high heart rates. Be kind to yourself as you are going through this experience. Look after yourself, get some exercise if you can, distract yourself if possible. This is not a mental illness it is a temporary overactive adrenal gland. That's all.

I have not read everyone's comments on here so forgive me if it is a repeat. I just want to say that I have had the exact same problems for 8 years. It started shortly after the birth of my daughter. Years I was told it was anxiety, depression, or all in my head. I am a Registered Nurse so I believed everything the Drs and specialists were saying, but nothing they threw at it made any improvement. I was 34 with a baby and I felt in order for me to get up I had to drag a 300lb weight around my neck ,pulling me down and back. I remember saying I'm not crazy, I know what I feel, I'm not depressed, I have the drive and desire to climb mountains but my body won't let me. I researched and studied, desperate to find answers. My blood work always within normal, I had every test under the sun, nothing....In my research I kept coming back to my thyroid.I felt it couldn't be I was tested, scanned u name it over and over. Then while at the grocery store, I felt that numbing, dizzy heavy feeling hit like a truck and I felt like I was going to hit the floor. I left and barged into my Dr begging for them to draw my blood right then as I was feeling this way. My Dr drew my blood and a few days later my results were crazy, my thyroid levels were all out of wack, off the charts out of wack. My Dr again drew my lab's and now they were perfect. My Endocrineologists were at a loss for words but didn't want to take any chances, I had radiation to kill my thyroid immediately and was started on synthroid. After reaching a therapeutic range I felt like me again. Through the years I have become so in tune to these symptoms that I know the minute they return I need my dose adjusted. The thyroid is put in our Body by God so in my opinion no medication can ever make it function all the time as God intended, I feel like it's very fickle thing and everything you eat, drink, take or do can change your bodies requirements, it's very hard to feel good all the time, my Dr trusts my ability to feel need to increase or decrease my dose as needed. I still have bad days, I just rest those days and do the best I can, although I'm not 100 percent it is very tolerable now. I'm sharing this because I felt it might be doing to others as it did to me. Please do not consider this a diagnosis for your symptoms. My goal here was to tell u to keep listening to your body, believe yourself when u feel something is wrong. Never let anyone make u feel crazy, keep screaming out something is wrong until u find a Dr willing to listen. Remember that when you don't feel like u should, wether it be pain, or numbness, dizziness, weakness, these are warning signs your body is sending u to change something or get something fixed. Listen to it !!!!! Best of Luck and understanding....

I am so sorry to hear that period I also have a heavy feeling all over my body.. the doctor says it's stress I have three teenage girls and a two-year-old grandbaby living with me period I've been feeling like this for 3 months and I absolutely hate it.

I google this because i have the same issue. Im 32 male i use to be full of energy . i mean sometimes i still work hard but most times i feel scared to be alone cause i feel ill fall over .this heavy feeling is anxiety/panicing. Doctors check me and keep saying im good. Eventually i stop going because they started asking me if im crazy . basically. Asking me if i need special mental help because i would go thw hospital alot when ever this feeling happen.. Now i try to lay down till it goes away.. Sucks to suffer from something no one can fix.. Std's and viruses can be cured but not this. I was told take vitamin B and iron pills. But its got to be something that can be done this is dangerous. One time i lost weight so fast and this went away. Im back at my size and it start back so maybe thats one part of solving it.. But walking around feeling like youre going to fall over is scary..  ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** private e-mails not allowed*** Please read our Terms of Use

We just have to keep praying And forget about our problem Give it to Jesus and leave it there Amen God is the answer to all our sickness and diseases

I just started having this symtom 2 months ago. Start with light head, buzzing and numbness on my whole body. Did so many blood test at primary doctor's office and hospital. But they said everything's fine . I did so many research and learn about of medical condition. I have a feeling that it could be either MS, peripheral nueophathy , brain tumor or nervous anxiety. The only way to diagnose this is getting an MRI. I'm waiting for my result to comeout on my MRI.

What was the result

Well, I was on the same boat for 2 years. I went to the (GP, Psychiatrist, Neurologist and Cardiologist). I had my echo heart scan, Brain MRI, EEG, ECGs several times and CBC whereas everything seems perfect but still I had sever anxiety and panic attacks which causes abnormal Heart beat (Feeling of a heart attack), Numbness in many parts of the body, Chaos state on mind. Sometimes i use to run here and there due to chaos state when it was not diagnosed earlier. The better doctor who helped me survive was the Neurologist comparatively. Earlier I was on cipralex and Lexotanil by the neuro but Later on my doses increased I was having problem in waking up which effected my work life badly whereas my weight increased like hell. The medicines just helped me to stop the panic but it didn't cure me forever. I was dis hearted as I am very young (Age: 24). Now the miracle that helped in my case, (One day one of my friend offered me a Lyrica 150 Mg, As he said it will relax you and you will feel happy). I took the capsule of Lyrica 150 mg without any doctors prescription. I was amused that I was literally feeling happy and over energetic. Day by day I increased my doses to get the joy and started taking 4 to 5 capsule of 150 mg in a day. It increased my weight too but it really decreased my panics to almost 95%. I continued it until my stock lasts (Approx 20 days of Lyrica) and then I quite it by decreasing the capsules as quiting immediate is also harmful. Now its been a year and I rarely get a panic attack (ones in two or three months). Sometimes I still take it but not for panic but for releasing tensions, As it is highly addictive too. I just shared my story with you peoples but I would never recommend this method to you peoples as for me i took the risk on my behalf but please do consult your doctors upon this and then only try anything new, As i believe things might not be the same for everyones body. I pray may you all get rid of this terrifying illness as I know the pain you people are going through.
