Weird Anxiety Symptoms: Jolting Limbs

For me I have TS so I get the feeling of it being annoying and inconvenient. But it does tend to get worse with anxiety. When I'm in a depressive episode I usually feel heavy/groggy and sore

I get really bad tremors sometimes (and small tremors almost all the time) and have jolted as you explained before... hasn't happened much, but it's definitely a weird feeling and seemed to be an anxiety response.

It can be a anxiety thing often when we get small stressskrs our muscles store that energy and it builds up until the muscle suddenly reales it and that can causes the sudden jolt at random times

Yes!! This happens to me and my mother both. We agree that it's tension from anger and anxiety just built up and saved in our muscles and you're not always mentally aware of it. Like when you don't feel super anxious but your body does. I get heavy, numb or achy limbs a lot. Sometimes I get this while I KNOW I'm anxious, too, but not always. I get twitchy and can't make it stop.

Yeah I get random aches and pains and I shake really bad when I'm anxious

The heavy limbs thing happens to me too! It always make me want to panic but I block it out. I get hypnic jerks as I’m falling asleep and that has launched many a nocturnal panic attacks. I would suggest getting a physical done with your PCP just to rule anything out and to know that you’re healthy. Then if it continues to happen you can reassure yourself that you’re healthy and it’s anxiety. Or if it’s a condition, you could get treatment or maybe physical therapy for it. It’s just always good to look into something to put your mind at ease. All the best 💛
