Hi all,
First time posting on this site. I have been having anxiety/panic attacks now for a couple of months. I decided not to go down the medication route, instead opting for acupuncture, acupressure, massages, yoga, and relaxation visualistations. And it has been working to a degree. I also went to see a hypnotherapist last week, and went back this morning.
Now this is the weird bit that led me to have a mild panic attack this morning. I was lying down on his couch listening away, and I started to have this feeling my tongue was really thick. My limbs started to feel as though they were miles away - I could still feel them, still wiggle them, knew they were there, but my perception was that the distance to them was massive. With my eyes closed, instead of being close and comfortable, it felt as though I was in a massive area and couldn't see the ends.
I have felt this before and its generally late at night when trying to get to sleep. I can't remember my first time but its was a long time ago. But it has never led to a panic attack before.
Has anyone ever had these sensations before?
Thanks
Colin
