This week I am wrapping up
at least for now my posts on borderline personality disorder or BPD, I will end
this by sharing a few other physical symptoms someone with BPD may experience,
may not will or do just may.
Digestive or
stomach issues, this is because stress can affect a body’s digestive
functioning as the gastrointestinal tract is sensitive to emotion. Anger,
anxiety, sadness or elation can all trigger physical symptoms in the gut.
Muscle aches
and pains, this is a common physical symptom of stress and anxiety as many with
BPD experience high emotional stress due to rapid cycling moods.
They can also
experience a psychogenic fever or high temperature due to chronic stress.
Lastly, we
have chest pain and up to 25 percent of BPD sufferers will experience chest
pain often so bad they feel like they are having a heart attack. It is often linked
to panic attacks.
I just stopped by to say Goodbye. I am leaving Blogger and closing down my blog. I will miss you.

DeleteThese are horrific side effects of BPD. Since they mimic other anxiety producers, a diagnosis of the true source could be difficult.

DeleteIt would be hard to diagnose, I am guessing.
ReplyDeleteYes I suspect so
