hi can anyone relate.
i woke last night in a panic attack.

but my left arm was completjw numb like i had laid on it. then i ran to get my keys to get help cos i was alone with my two childspdm and my right arm went. both arms were completely numb i couldn't do anything i managed to get the keys in and door to locked after screaming and banging my chest. as soon as i got out side it stopped and they were fine. i came back to bed and managed km get some sleep. however i have woke this mornijg feel tired and anxious my arms are still tingling and I'm test scared.

i have not for the first time been able to get my son to school.
I'm so freaked out and after yesterday going to the doctors is mob solution x

I get this every night and it is my back doing it.

I had to have physio but it has stopped working now.

My posture is bad apparently so I get this all the time in bed.

I too get this occasionally or at least something similar. Basically like really bad pins and needles to the point that I have no feeling at all in my arm (s), this can lead to me waking in a panic attack (the night ones have always been the worst for me due to the disorientation involved). I honestly think mine is 100% pins & needles though as I often sleep on my arm, but as to why it induces a full blown PA who knows! Hope your feeling a bit better now.

I get numb hands and sometimes in my arms upto my elbo. The neurologist said it was due to a worn disc at the top of my spine and there was nothing to worry about. My face also goes numb and he said that was due to stress and anxiety.

I get this a lot too, the feel somewhat disconnected and hard to control.
