Waking from sleep gasping for air

Grateful for any support/advice

Thank you both! I have been visiting my GP for some years. I had an MRI scan earlier this year but it was inconclusive. My GP feels that it's anxiety but it seems odd and strange that all of these physical symptoms are generated by the mind rather than actual. I feel very much at a loss, and can't get any further with my GP. Are all of the listed symptoms attributed to anxiety?

You need to see your doctor for a thorough physical to rule out other causes for your symptoms.  While anxiety sufferers do have a lot of these same symptoms, you always want to rule out all other causes first.  If it turns out to be anxiety, find yourself a good psychiatrist so the two of you can determine the best course of treatment for you.  Good luck and take care!

Could very well be. I believe on a website about anxiety, over 100 symptoms were stated. A while ago I had the head pressure and dizziness. That subsided and I had random neck and back pains as well as leg pains. Now that's stopped and my stomachs messed up lately and I'm urinating alot it seems. I'm still in the process of fixing this. What YOU need to do is not focus on resolving the symptoms but rather find the problem causing the anxiety. Good luck :)
