What Are The Symptoms Of Anxiety?
hi I am a 16 year old male and i have been experiencing a feeling in my head which i cannot describe very well. The only way i can describe it is having the feeling of butterflies in your tummy, in my head. It is not painful but can switch from being almost non existent to being intense but at no time painful or unbearable. I have developed a ringing in my right ear which only is noticeable when i think about it. Sometimes i worry i have something serious which causes my symptoms to intensify. I did loose this feeling for a week when i was stubborn and just forgot about it but now its back and it just makes me curious to know what it is. I do have hay fever and i have been to my doctor who says its possibly a tension headache or anxiety please reply.

Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query in detail and understand your concerns.
You have mentioned that you feel butterflies in your stomach and head, ringing sensation ears. Your symptoms increase when you think about them and decrease when you divert your mind.
You have given a nice description of your symptoms. I must tell you that these symptoms are classically due to an anxiety disorder.
Now regarding the treatment of this problem, there are some options.
You can take antianxiety medications like ativan or zapiz.
You can also practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation and yoga.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.

Hello, Welcome to HCM,
The symptoms you have mentioned seems to be of anxiety. There are many others like Dizziness, light-headedness,dry mouth,Difficulty breathing,Hypertension,Palpitations, Restlessness (e.g., pacing here and there),Tachycardia(increase heart rate),Chest pain or discomfort,Muscle tension or aches and pains, Diarrhea,Tingling in extremities,Tremors,Upset stomach (butterflies),Urinary frequency, hesitancy, urgency etc.
However, this kind of anxiety will never be life threatning.You shoudn't worry this much.You should consult a psychiatrist for proper evaluation and better management.
Second, I would suggest you to start relaxtation exercises, yoga and some time of brisk walking in morning.Hope this would help. Best of luck.
