Weakness In Legs, Fatigue And Nausea. History Of Anxiety. Are These Related?
I have a feeling of weakness in the legs, fatigue and slight nausea (off and on) for the past week. There is mold in a bathroom in my house, but I do not use it often (however I do go in there a few times a day just to go to bathroom quickly). I also have a history of anxiety , but I do not feel anxious. Is it possible that subconscious anxiety manifests in purely physical ways? Any help with be amazing, i am very worried.

Hello.
Anxiety can have a varied presentation, right from mere sleeplessness to making the person unresponsive. In your case as you have stated that you are having anxiety symptoms earlier , hence the current worry that the mold in the bathroom might have caused you weakness in the legs, fatigue and nausea could be more of your anxiety than actually what it is.
May be you can consult a psychiatrist who would like to train you in some cognitive or behavioural therapy.
Hope I am able to solve your concerns. Thanks , and have a nice day!
