Hello! I have some questions regarding my health anxiety and if anyone can relate.
Last December of 2016, I got a MASSIVE panic attack in a bus as it arrived to my bus stop. The Ambulance had to come get me because I though I was having a heart attack. At the end, the doctor at hospital said it was a panic attack.
After this event, my left arm often has tingling, muscle weakness, and when i stretch it it feels tight. These symptoms come and go, but have been persistent for 7 months now. I was given some excises to do, and they helped a bit, but the pain is still there.
Recently, my left leg started hurting too. Its going to be a month now. I was diagnosed with sciatica, which I believed, and the pain has gotten better, but again it comes and goes.
Finally, for a week now, I have had a strange - like like pressure-ish - feeling on my left side of my face. Random body small muscle twitches, electrical like feelings in body and mild headaches.
My left arm or left leg usually never hurt at the same time, its usually one or the other. Also, the pain is also usually brought up by doing too much work with my left arm or reclining it and waking too much makes my leg hurt, or other times the pain is for no reason. All this has made me spiral down the through that I might have a brain tumor. It just that all these symptoms being on my left side trip me out so bad! I have a history of anxiety, but I got it treated and under control (panic attack free for 3 years). Of course in that history, I never had the symptoms I have now. I had the regular chest pressure feeling. But then it all came back and I don't know if these symptoms are anxiety of a tumor. I haven't had a panic attack in a few months, mostly just bad anxiety. I have xanax, but rather not take them.
Has anyone had similar symptoms?
