I recently had a first panic attack and saw my GP. I am not on any medication and have learnt to recongnise its onset and to deal with it.
In the last few days I have had new symptoms which are giving me concern. It is a numb/tingling sensation inside my head. It's not on the outside of my face and it is not painful. It is as if my brain is full of something, creating a shaking sensation or a throbbing sensation or a floating sensation. It is very difficult to describe. Sometimes it's at the front causing me to blink incessantly sometimes it's above both my ears. It is accomapnied by slight feeling of sickness. Sometimes it comes with sweating and sometimes I get cold feet.
I find it disturbing as I don't feel anxious and yet it is there. I have been having a hard time lately which is what triggered the panic attack. Yet while the panic attack is somewhat controllable this seems beyond my control and so is very distressing.
It goes into the background very quickly if I'm doing something but quickly reappears. It is a sensation that I can almost will to be more intense by concentrating on it or be less intense by distracting myself. It has been with me almost non-stop for the last 4-5 days.
Can you help?
Many thanks!
