FEELS LIKE I WEIGH A TON!

Hi guys I was wondering if anyone else has/had a feeling that you weigh alot. When i get up and walk, i feel like i am crushing the floor as if i was obese, im only 5"10 160 lb. Sometimes it goes away, then all of a sudden when i step i feel like ima fall kinda like i pushed the ground in cause i was so heavy. It's kinda hard to explain but i tried googling it and can't find anything. Any help well be appreciated! Please if anyone knows what im talking about let me know so I won't get scared that it's not a normal naxiety symptom!! I feel like ima faint!!!

There are many medical problems that can cause the heaviness you feel.  Anxiety could also be the culprit.  Without a complete physical and some tests your doctor cannot  rule out anything.  Get right on it and schedule that appt.  Good luck!

yes, i have had this feeling. and anxiety can do a lot.

mine was a mixture of anxiety and an inner ear deal. Labyrinthitis? It went away about a week ago.

I'd feel so off balance, feel like when I was walking I was walking into the floor. lol.

And sometimes yeah, like I weight alot more in my legs or something. Strangest feeling.

Get it check out by your Dr. could be just anxiety, and or could be just an inner ear deal. Allergies have been bad for people all over this year.

Anxiety can cause a lot of strange sensations, however, it is always a good idea to get a thorough medical work up to tule out any kind of medical problem before assuming it is anxiety.
