for the past few months i have been getting numbness in my right hand, mainly in the two smallest fingers and the hand directly underneath them. it seems like i have only felt this way since i had a really funny turn a few months ago which my doctor thinks was a panic attack but it was the worst one i've had. i went pale, had cold sweats, my chest was extremely tight and i was lightheaded. my hands were also numb and tingly. i couldn't distract myself by going for a walk (this usually calms me down) and it seemed to come out of nowhere.
i don't know if since then i have noticed the numbness more just because the experience was so scary, but it was my only panic attack which seemed to come completely out of nowhere. does this happen to anyone else?
i guess the fear started because someone i know had a stroke and now she's recovered the only symptoms she has is slight numbness in her hand in the same place.
i have no problem gripping things with my right hand and it's worse when i bend my arm, making me think it's perhaps a trapped nerve or something? neither my doctor or my counsellor seem concerned about it, so i was wondering if anyone else has numbness like this? it seems to be there even when i'm not anxious which worries me so much!
any help would be appreciated.
