Hello, ok so a little about me. I'm 27 and have had anxiety and panic attacks for 11 years. I have been on and off tablets for a long time.
My anxiety seems to be getting worse now, I feel ill all the time, I can't stop worrying about my arms and legs, they feel heavy and weak and I keep thinking they are going to stop working. Like one day if I stay still for too long the will seize up and paralyse. My face is numb, I'm tingly all the time and often feel like I'm going to have a stroke. So my dr put me on propranolol and assured me that in a few days I would feel better and 90% normal. Well that was 6 days ago and I feel worse if anything. I can't take my mind off my body and what is going wrong with it even though I know I'm fine.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I've had the arm and leg feeling for about a month now and I just can't seem to get over it. I'm frustrated and very down, I just don't know what else to do. Should I go back to the Dr's for a check up in case there iis something wrong with my arms or brain?
Any advice would be very helpful right now.
Thank you
