The one I have to add to this is one that is most bothersome for me, obcessive thoughts about my breathing and a smothering feeling at times .... other than that, I can honestly say I suffer from several: 1,2,4,9,10,11,12,13,16,20,21,23,26,27,29 ,30,31
I had blood work, lung xrays, EKG etc, which all, thankfully came back negative for any lung or cardia disease. But still I am suffering to the point that I have been home bound for over 3 months now.
There has to be an answer ... I am blessed that I have a wonderful husband who, although may not understand completely, does try.

im dealing with the same thing it was so bad i had too take a leave from work the anxiety was horrible along with the night sweats im always on edge and my mind is always racing .i was fine untill june when my periods started changing and so did my moods i was told that i am in perimenopause i just turned 46 in june . im on meds for anti anxiety blood pressure and anti depressants so its hard too tell if the anxiety is from the meds or the peri i read the side effects and it causes dizziness and anxiety i was like are u kidding me ? im trying too get rid of that.. but sounds like peri too me good luck im fighting a tough battle
I have mild night sweats, palpitations, anxiety, sudden tears, mild blues, (I hope they stay mild), I can't remember the last time I slept through the night. Generally this doesn't bother me too much because I can nearly always get back to sleep quickly, and it's usually deep enough sleep. I hope it doesn't get worse but of course it may. I pee a bit when I laugh or cough sometimes so that is probably incontinence. I have gastrointestinal problems, acid reflux plus general intestinal gassiness. I get a lot more headaches than I'm used to.
Does anyone have weird pains coming out of nowhere? I woke up this morning and got a sudden sharp pain in the middle of my back, also had one left side of my chest this morning. I suppose it could be related to acid reflux, but it didn't feel like it. They freak me out more than anything else because they don't fit the symptom list, I know joint pains are to be expected but these are more like sudden jabs of pain from out of the blue.
I have bad posture (head forward), so it's occurred to me this may have something to do with it. But it's hard to tell.
I too have "unexplained" symptoms ... weird pains, tightness, sometimes on one side, sometimes all the way around chest, sides and back ... I know its prolly part of all this, but dang ... cant we get a break!!!
