I keep having really bad pain all over my body and feeling dizzy. Went to the ER and the doctor said I was just having anxiety. Am I just going crazy or is there something missing?

Could be Fibromyalgia - go see another doctor, who's more open-minded. It could also be anxiety, I suppose, but you'd need to see a good psychiatrist to get a definitive diagnosis.

Continue to go to the doctor. A family member suffers panic attacks and we have been to the Dr. and emergency rooms countless times. You will never know what you have until you answer every question about your physical condition. Only then can you determine if your problem is anxiety.
We were lucky in a way that my family member did not like to take pills. She took some Xanax, but only when she was really bad and then only a small dose. I believe that some medications like Prozac and similar drugs could do more harm in the long run. It is a somewhat complicated problem but the most important step is to GO SEE YOU DOCTOR and don't be afraid to tell him/her everything you have experienced.
I pray you continue to look for answers and don't give up. Also look into any books by Lucinda Bassett. She has a program that is probably expensive but her books are not expensive and helped my loved one more than anything.
Good Luck!

little one how old are u? and what phsycological stress are you under? most folks have no clue about health and diet so i ask u what you have been eating also?. food has a lot to do with how we are feeling . current aches and pains can also be a sign u are missing vitamins or not absorbing them from the food u get .. you stated u went to a dr,. already and they said it was anxiety related?
DEPENDING ON if u have a good insurance plan ask another dr. about this if it continues but at a recomendation of someone you know and trust. why?? many drs have a busy schedule already and are over booked they wont take the time to do a thorough check up/
at the recomendation of someone you know or trust a dr can be a friend that will take a personal interest in your particular problem and u wont be just anonther dollar sign.

What is going on in your life right now? That may have something to do with it. Stress can do a number on someones body. A couple of times I went to the ER because I thought I was haveing a heart attack, and it was anxiety. Sounds like you may be a little depressed. It will be O.K. Everything gets better, eventually. My advice to you would be to talk to someone and maybe take some feedback, and I am sure you will find it easier to move forward!

No, anxiety will manifest as physical symptoms. your not crazy, You have something that is bothering you and you have no way to fix that. You could go to another doctor that may find something more but these days anxiety is a constant ailment. It is now a very common problem. they can give you medication, but in the long run you need to examine what it is that is stressing you so much. Can you point to any particular incident that, in the near past might be a cause? Or is there someone that causes you tio be fearful or anxious? If you like contact me and talk about this problem.

anxiety is a form of thinking that you are crazy, so I would follow the advice of the er doctor or start a journal for a month and document everytime that one of these episodes occur, so that when you go to yur family doctor he will know that this is something for real not just some sort of plea to get meds Hope all works out for you

That is not what anxiety is. Are you having heart palpitations, feeling so dizzy that you have to sit down, trouble breathing, etc that is more like anxiety. BUT the Dr was probably right when he siad it was something mentally instead of physically.
Have you been stressed out lately or something new in your life? It most likely stems from that! I hope you feel better- just relax...

There are several possible answers. Most of them begin with "Go See Another Doctor." You could have some serious medical problems, or even a combination of some minor ones.

You need a hobby something that will keep your mind fresh, you probably sit at home analyzing everything trying to find something wrong with your self, I'm sure if we all did that we'd most likely find something too. So try to find something that will keep you busy and distracted might work better if it is out doors. If that doesn't work then I highly recommend seeing another doctor.

No you are crazy...just kidding.
Stress and Anxiety can cause "phantom" pain everywhere. Take a load off and relax. Also stop trying to find problems that are not their. Be thankful you are not crazy.
