Hi everyone out there, I am a 26 yr old female, I started with panic a few months ago. My first attack was so bad I actually became temorarliy paralized, lost the ability to move my arms and my hands became frozen. I thought I was having a stroke for sure. Turns out when you hyperventalate really badly you can cut of circulaton and loose sensation in your extremities also had really crazy tingling all over. Anyhow it totally freaked me out.
I actually seemed to recover from that but now I have anxiety and waves of panic once a day.. Most of the time I just analyze the weird sensations in my body, like I'm overly aware of all my physical feelings. Ive heard alot of people say the feel like they are going to fall over, I get that alot, I dont and haven't taken any meds,I actually have a fear of them, I will be starting therapy soon. My problem is that I am so embaressed to tell my doctor about anything, I am currently having sharp, shooting pains in my upper chest, and jaw area (more under the chin) could it be heartburn from anxiety...anyone else had anything like that? some of the pain areas are tender to the touch but the shooting pain is so bad it's like a bolt of lightning going through that lasts only a second or two. Can anyone relate to my Hypochondia! :quest:
