Hello and welcome to the SANE forums 🙂 We are glad you have decided to join us.
That sounds like a lot for someone to have on their plate - it takes a lot of strength to reach out for support.
Here's a tip for navigating the forums. To 'tag' someone in a post, which means they will get a notification you are writing to them, put an @ sign in front of their name 🙂
The other reason I am messaging is because I am wondering if you have a medical practitioner you see, who might be able to answer your questions, and provide support? I would just like to let you know that SANE Australia is a peer-to-peer space and we are not able to provide professional or medical advice 🙂
I hope you enjoy your time on the forums!

Hi @Holty
Welcome to the forums. It takes a lot of strength to reach out for support.
For me, when my anxiety is bad, yes I get physical pain as well. Pain in my stomach, tingling in my fingers and a few other things. I have terrible health anxiety so it became a cycle of worrying about physical stuff and then the anxiety getting worse. I would get anything physical checked by my gp to be safe.
Keep reaching out
hugs
