Can Pain In The Limbs, Severe Anxiety And Stomach Issues Be Managed In A GAD Patient?

Hello Everyone, I hope you people are doing well :) I wanted to share something I am going through right now I used to get chest pain 2 or 3 years ago but my doctor said it was all anxiety and told me that I suffer from Generalized Anxiety Disorder The pain went away and I felt normal and healthy It then started in Ramadan again 2018, I was water fasting only ( Which means I was drinking a lot more water and eating a lot less)I was only eating Bananas and other fruits during the fasting period, I started getting chest pain again went to the doctor did an ECG everything came back normal On around 15-20 day of fasting, I started getting random arm and leg pains, And constant diarrhea. Now its been 20 days and I still have it. I don t know if my diet has something to do with it since I was mostly eating Fruits. But my chest pain almost went away It also triggered Severe health anxiety. My stomach frequently aches (it s a dull ache) and my stools are lose ( Not liquid but Mushy type and sometimes the first layer of stool is solid and then it s mushy ). i have to go the bathroom immediately after a meal. I am having all sort of symptoms i don t know whether it s anxiety or something else. - Pain in both arms which spreads to fingers also - Very occasional JAW pain - leg pain with twitching ( Pain and discomfort in Calf ) - Sometimes i feel like i get symptoms of Restless leg syndrome - Occasional Headaches - Frequent stomach ache ( Very dull ) and my stools have been loose for the last 20 days, it has never happened before. - Pain behind eyes - Confusion and reading the words wrong. ( Reading hampering as harming etc ) - i have anxiety 24/7 now and I don t want to live like this :( i was a very happy and outgoing guy now all i think about is my current condition My pain never gets in the way of doing anything physical i can easily do running, Boxing, Cycling, and other physical activities I feel like the pain is there 24/7. Please tell me what i could be going through it all started 30 or so days ago Extremely thankful for your help

Anxiety can cause variety of symptoms including pain anywhere in the body, restlessness, breathing difficulties, palpitation, headache etc. GAD also can have these complaints. I suggest you to work with your psychiatrist or solution for a solution.
