head tingling

Hi All,
Experienced something really freaky last night. I was sleeping on my back and I woke up to my head feeling numb - my scalp really. I've had this happen before to my hand or arm - like it falls asleep. But this time it was my head. Of course that brought on an anxiety attack - which are never that far away these days. Got the feeling back and seemed normal. But then I started thinking about it later in the day - that it had to be something deathly - as everything is these days. And my head feels weird but I'm not sure if I am just imaging it because I am freaking out or what. And then I start pacing and my legs start to feel weak and such a strange sensation comes over me - another anxiety attack. Then I just start to cry to my husband who has been wonderful but can really never truly understand whats happening to me. I called the neurologist on call and he seemed to think it was a pinched nerve in my neck that I was sleeping on it - given that an MRI I had earlier in the year came back normal. I don't know ladies - you feel good for some time and then BAM!!!! - you are right back to where you were. I just hate this - its all consuming at times.

marie I understand what you are going through. I had this on and off over 6 months, could be arm, hand, head, weak feeling and then all-out anxiety attacks. As you said, it's all consuming at times, what a great description. I used to have an anxiety attack each evening thinking about going into my bedroom as the thought of it was so bad. I began to hate my room. But it gets better, this is gone now for me and I have no anxiety at night now, I drink camomile tea before I go to bed and it has worked wonders. Its your hormones going crazy and then the weaknesses you start to feel everywhere is the anxiety that follows. talk yourself out of it and it will get better for you until it no longer bothers you and the attacks of this are easier to control. best wishes.

You seem to get used to one thing Marie then like you have said another thing hits you. Im not only suffering from anxiety but the menopause too so Im getting every thing two-fold. I am better now as in the height of my anxiety and at the time I didn't realise I was going through the menopause I was really freaked out with all these different things happening to me. apart from my anxiety and depression I have always been physically fit very rarely getting colds ect, now I have palps aches sensations even leg jerking where my one leg just jerks but I have looked into the symptons (and not with the famous google) and because I understand how the anxiety and menopause affects my body I accept it. if you had asked me about these symptoms ie palps chest pains/aches a couple of months ago I was convinced something was seriously wrong. now when I get the palps I juust tell myself its the menopause. its so down right exhausting at times but I believe if we can understand what this "illness" does to our body we can cope with it better. hope this settles you a bit more
