Boosting this. I’ve had anxiety problems for years and it’s crazy how it can manifest as real physical symptoms. Every doctor visit always ends up with the same diagnosis: anxiety.
Most recently I was 100% convinced I was having a retina detachment. Noticing a ton of “floaters”, sparkles in my vision, etc. Came back from a comprehensive examination at the eye doctor and the diagnosis was yet again, anxiety. After the clean bill of health, a lot of the symptoms disappeared.

I have been taken to the hospital (with blaring sirens) twice for anxiety mimicking heart attack symptoms. Completely checked out and walked out with a healthy heart and alprazolam. It happens only rarely but I carry a strip everywhere just in case as that is not fun.
