Hello
"Hi everyone. Since last June, I’ve been dealing with somatic anxiety. I’ve done 3 heart ultrasounds, a stress test, and 4 EEGs—all came back completely normal.
My main issue now is a strange sensation that my legs are going to give out or fail to support me, but this happens ONLY when I am standing completely still, like waiting in lines at the supermarket or when I am in the shower. The moment I start walking, the feeling completely disappears. I also used to feel a rocking/swaying sensation when lying down, but that has improved.
My neurologist told me it's somatic anxiety. Has anyone else experienced this specific feeling of leg weakness only when static? How do you cope with it?"
