Reassurance needed please:
About month ago I started experiencing pins needles tingling mild pain in left side of body that I probably have had before but never dwelled on. I have always had an obsession with symptoms but have pretty much kept in check for best part of 13 years.
I went major googling for symptoms as I had already began to fixate on MS and as the days weeks went on I alighted on brain tumor or more specifically partial seizures (parietal sensory). I'm terrified I have them.
I spoke to occ health doc and GP and they said they think its anxiety and I have been on 20mg Cit and propanolol. I went through major panic and actually had hot flushes which I'd never had!
The "seizure" episodes go like this:
First thing is nausea or a stomach uppers abdomen twitch
Pins needles arm leg and sometimes left face head
Need to get up and walk away
Fuzzy feeling and panic
No tight chest or breathing issues
Can anxiety be doing this???
It's taking over my life and I know it's too early for Cit to kick in but I'm really really scared.
Ps all bloods were fine - FBC ESR CRP Kidneys LFT etc
