20PM - Progression of My Physical Symptoms

I know a bunch of you have been asking about this, and I'm more than happy to share!

When I first started having anxiety I would just have an upset stomach every or every other night.  Sometimes I would throw up and sometimes I wouldn't.

After a few months, these sensations of nausea would grow to include shaking / trembling.  I also started having ...well, diarrhea... gross, but it makes sense given that your body is under constant stress. 

A few months after that, I began having trouble breathing when I was anxious - I would have back pain and my chest would feel tight. 

And after about six months of dealing with all these symptoms put together, I began having DP.

My anxiety started about a year and a half ago.  Last summer I also had what I thought at the time was a seizure, but it turned out that when I had a panic attack my blood cells dropped all their calcium and my hands locked up, only for about five minutes with another five minutes of build up prior to the event.  Weird, but the doctor said that when the body goes into extreme panic it can cause blood cells to just drop everything, and when they drop calcium, what I went through can happen.  I could talk and look around, nothing else was affected, just my hands.  The EMT said that his girlfriend goes through the same thing, except hers is more extreme - she can't even move her head.  But luckily this only happened to me once, and that was almost a year ago.

Anxiety can cause almost ANYTHING.

I know many of you who read are like me and keep looking for an alternative reason for these symptoms, but trust me, there's nothing wrong with you!  I've had all the tests done - bloodwork, specialty doctors... you name it, I was there.  It's just anxiety, and you must realize it's all in your head before you can start healing and getting rid of these symptoms.  I had to go through all of this with no one to reassure me.  I'm here for you this time, I'm assuring you it's nothing more than your head trying to mess with you.  You'll just have to trust me on this one.
