Hi,
So i've recently been told that I probably have Health Anxiety by my GP, but, i'm still waiting to see a mental health specialist for a full assessment. However, a few weeks ago I experienced numbness around my body which eventually went way, so I accepted it was probably due to anxiety and a physical symptom of the massive panic attack I had a few weeks ago. But, over the last 2 or 3 days I've had a headache that keeps coming and going and numbness in my face and seem to be seeing more floaters in my eyes. I'm terrified this means i'm having an aneurysm or that I have a brain tumour. I keep telling myself it's probably due to my anxiety/panic and if I calm down it'll probably go away, but, I just can't seem to shake the fear something is seriously wrong and it's making me lose sleep. Has anyone else experienced symptoms like this? I am in a total panic right now.
