    Hello worrywuss

    I know what you mean, I get that same feeling. Usually it's when I am having a PA my arms go numb and cold. I think that is one of the signs of anxiety. The way I control it is but trying to talk to someone close to you and by breathing slowly but not to deeply... then my panic passes.

    Hi there

    Numbness is a very common symptom of anxiety , I used to get a numb left leg all the time, now it seems to be my fingers and toes. Try not to worry too much about it and gradually it should disappear.

    Take care
