Does this happen to anyone else?

[watervoilet]

when I get really anxious my teeth start to chatter just as though I am really cold my hands shake a lot If I am in a crowded area with lots of peope the noise seems magnified. I also suffer pains in my neck and shoulders and feeling very low in energy after facing an anxiety arousing situation. does anyone else get these type of symptoms?

Well when i get anxious i feel unbelievably sick and often am sick but i do also get the chattering of teeth and the shaking, i think loads of people do when they're anxious.

I get muscle spasms mainly not a pretty site. Hopefully its just spasms and not parkinson's disease ...shouldnt really be making jokes I guess. I feel happy thats all.

Me too. It's weird but when in big crowds it's like I suddenly become aware of everything that's going on around me (spidey senses... tingling!) and sounds do seem louder.

I can't say I get those symptoms,but when I'm in busy areas my mind races and I become disorientated and detached from people and my surroundings.

I think we all get these kind of symptoms i definately feel sick a lot when i'm anxious. I don't get chattering teeth though but i do get disorientated its like everything seems surreal sometimes. I get very alert aswell like i'm in survival mode.

Yeah I occaisionally get the shakes in my jaw muscles.

last time it happened I was at work so I went into the toilets to look in the mirror. I could see my mouth quivering but it wasn't all that noticable luckily.

Its really annoying though.

u tried beta blockers? Might help...

I wouldn't advise taking beta blockers, can cause depression. SA and depression not a good mix.

Where did u hear that? I thought they only affected the physical symptoms of anxiety(increased heartrate, shaking etc)

I've not heard of them causing depression before.

In a group situation as regular as clockwork I'll get a headache after a couple of hours.

I'll feel tired too

As Bak2Rehab says I also sometimes feel "disorientated and detached from people and my surroundings".

From my psychology teacher, maybe shes wrong or I misheard. I dunno.
