Hi I'm an anxious 20 year old

[Anxious lu]

Hey,

I'm 20 years old and completely new to the who anxiety thing so was glad to come across this site where we can all put each other at ease.

My first attack was Just over a month ago, I ended up talking to three different doctors and going to A&E before accepting I wasn't having a stroke and anxiety had caused my sudden rush an slurred speach.

I am able to manage the attacks quite well but have now got awful thoughts that something life threatening is wrong with me.

Does anybody else suffer back, shoulder and arm ache through to the hand because of anxious habits which for that last few days has been almost constant?
