Anxiety or something more?

I need to know if this sounds like anxiety or ?
I have off and on (mostly on right now) symptoms.
Dizziness, foggy headed, lightheaded, depersonalization,
upset stomach, (constant) stuffed up nose, sweating hands and feet,
funny pressure in my head, blurred vision, watery eyes,
my hands will go numb sometimes, feeling like I'm losing control,
shortness of breath when I'm doing small activities (out of shape)
(Constant) tinnitus in my left ear (gets worse with some symptoms),
chills, the list goes on. Right now it feels like I have the flu but I don't
think that is what's going on right now. Help?

RubyWitch is right -- however, take comfort in knowing that most everything you've described can be caused by anxiety. It's amazing the physical symptoms that anxiety can cause.Go see your medical doc first to rule out anything physical. You might ask for an Rx for something like Ativan or Xanax to give you immediate relief when you need it. Then go see a therapist to help you get the bottom of what's causing your anxiety.I would do that first before going on an antidepressant. Best to go after the root of the problem rather than just masking the symptoms, IMHO. Best wishes!

Many of your symptoms DO sound like anxiety, but some don't. We are NOT doctors on this forum but there is not a doctor anywhere who would diagnose anyone over the Internet.

I strongly urge you to discuss all these symptoms with your doctor.

I wish you the best
