Hi all, I’ve been a lifelong anxiety, OCD and depression sufferer (well… since childhood at least and I’m in my 30s now so I’ve been suffering for 25 years) 

For the past 3 years I’ve been hit with intermittent symptoms that make no sense - horrible aches and pains in my joints, heart palpitations and flutters, jaw pain, bone pain, headaches, temperature fluctuations, dizziness, Eustachian tube dysfunction, blurry vision, muscle twitches, constant clicking in my neck, bad acid reflux and water brash and many other random weird symptoms. I had blood tests and an ECG when my symptoms first appeared and the only thing that showed up was that I had a vitamin D and folate deficiency so my doctor thought that could be causing lots of my issues and the rest could be explained away by anxiety, I took supplements but still felt quick icky. Then covid hit and the doctors here didn’t see anyone for ages so I haven’t been back to follow up. 

I just want to know does anyone else frequently feel as ill as I do because of anxiety? I genuinely worry I’m dying of some terrible illness because of how ill and in pain I feel, it’s horrible :( I’m used to anxiety but all throughout my life it only ever used to manifest as stomach problems or heart palpitations, I didn’t think anxiety could cause this many physical issues?
