I think it's back

[KrisBarbs]

I've suffered from HA for a long time now and for the past few months it has dissappeared but now I can't get the idea of me having a stroke out of my mind. I'm only 18 and it's messing with my life again :weep: . I can't even be myself for a long time as I think I might die alone.

Symptoms I'm feeling:
Light/Numbness feeling through my body
Insomnia and waking suddenly breathless and panicky
Always feeling tired and fatigue

These symptoms are common in anxiety. Anxiety can effect the body in very weird ways. I wake up in panic a lot and feel like something happened to my family. You should see your doctor though and ask for a blood test, maybe your iron levels are a bit low, it's common in females as we lose blood monthly. I'm suffering from severe health anxiety lately and I know exactly how you feel. Hang in there, hope you feel better soon.

Of course saying you are fine may not help since I also convince myself I am going to die of something. The chances of stroke for an 18 year old are extremely low. I would explain your symptoms to a doctor and get their advice. When you feel sure you have something, I swear the symptoms start appearing. I have convinced myself of a brain tumour/anyurism so many times. Out of nowhere (circumstances are always different and I never feel anxious when they strike)my hands shake, limbs go numb, I feel like my sense of smell cuts out, my ears feel like they are full of cotton, I feel nauseous and my head gets very heavy. I know my anxiety amplifies the symptoms but they are real to me, and no doctor has found a certain cause yet.
