Anxiety Attacks From Crossing Feet
Why do I have high anxiety when I cross my feet?
Anxiety Question:
Why do I have high anxiety when I cross my feet?
It is very comfortable for me to cross my feet. It is almost natural; however, I almost get an anxiety attack when I do it and must immediately uncross my feet.
Am I crazy or is this a known condition?
Anxiety Answer:
There is a series of veins and nerves which run down your leg and spread out over the top of your foot. You may be putting pressure on those veins and nerves, and this could be impeding your circulation which can lead to other more uncomfortable feelings.
I have heard of people having a similar reaction and feeling uncomfortable or lightheaded.
Are you apt to get anxiety attacks frequently, or is this the only time?
You may want to discuss this with your doctor in case you have a pinched nerve or a damaged nerve and the crossing of your feet is just emphasizing the problem.
