I have suffered from health anxiety for several years and really feel that I am now over it. I have been on the whole anxiety and panic free for over a year. But there is one thing that I am still plagued with.
At night about once a week I get restless toss and turn, for a few hours then I start getting strange physical symptoms.
Numbness down my left hand side, sometimes pain from my face to my foot. Feeling uneasy, disorientated and anxious. It seems to happen if I lie on my side and goes away if I stand up.
My health anxiety kinda worries about my heart, but I work out regularly in the gym with no problem, I've had ecg's and the like. So it can't be.
I think it is a trapped nerve in my back / neck and my anxiety kicks in and exaggerates it.
