when you all have a panic attack does anyone ever get numbness in face and arms and tingling? and you feel a bit restricted like you've got to take a deep breath or catch your breath?

My body goes numb or it tingles and I feel like I am about to faint. I also get a warm sensation that goes through my body. My legs feel like they want to shake uncontrollable.

Anything is possible when having a panic attack. The mind and body are in chaos and theres really no telling what your mind will convince your body to do. Think of a panic attack as a meltdown of your mind, and your mind controls your body. So anything is possible and all bets are off. Many people have panic attacks and no two painic attacks are exactly alike, there are common threads between anxiety sufferers but everybody experiences panic attacks differently. Does your numbness go away once you calm down? My guess is the numbness is psycho sematic . But you could always contact your doctor just to be sure.

yes it does go away but comes back here and there, but I am constantly worried all the time too because of weird pains and sensations, I've spoken to docs and they are saying anxiety, its why they think I keep getting chest pains because I'm constantly worried about my heart despite checks and I'm always worrying about something so I'm tense alot without realizing.

Hi there , you are the person who had posted " Scared About Heart Problems " right?
I don't know from where i do start from ,It started with Gastritis (thats what i was told by the doc , when i started having random chest pains)and it scared the s**t out of me ,( i didn't know what was happening to me)so i took the medicine my doc prescribed me but it started again and it began worse in last 2 months starting with Acid Reflux , Random chest pains , numbness in Hands and feet , pain radiating in different places in my body , Upset stomach (I had done several tests too, Everything came Normal)
SO long story short i am writing to you today is because one , One of the famous GP in our town today assured me that nothing is wrong with me , it is my anxiety which triggers and converts it into physical symptoms (PSYCHOSOMATIC ISSUES) And before this i had started doing Yoga, Meditation , And workout , it will help you trust me , just dont leave it , Continue it for a month and then see the wonders , More we will feed it , worst it will growl back at us.
Still i am having some pain but i am sure it will go away with time , it's not like its going to vanish in a day or we will be normal in a second but eventually we will
You can message if you require any assistance. 😃

thank you so much for that, I do like to read reassuring things like your reply.... I am in a very scared place right now, because I'm petrified of my heart doctors are convinced I've given myself the actual symptoms associated with it. I also read a while ago it can cause teeth pain for a certain heart problem and now I keep getting sore teeth. its crazy! 😦 I've been prescribed sertraline and definitely want to try that but I'm also scared to do that too because in my head I'm convinced it's not anxiety.. I will try yoga I think, my mum suggested that too 😃

Try the Zoloft I was prescribed it 2 years ago I was so scared to take it. I finally did. It takes about 4 weeks to start working. The beginning is hard you will have side effects just keep taking them it will all level out. My side effects was shaking but I wasn't shaking hard to explain. Try yoga and meditation but Zoloft helped me a lot I still take it. Started out at 25mg then 50mg now I am on 100. I wish you the best of luck. Sounds like you have health anxiety. Me to....

I know that scary place ,i use to get tremors even while sitting in a company. I left Being myself . I couldnt remember being normal (Still struggling tbh) But all this time when i was worried and just kept thinking and cursing myself about my health and wondering all the time , what on earth is wrong with me , so i decided cant i try to believe as if there is nothing wrong with me , it is just anxiety which is screwing me over. And as they say, in these Problems only you can help yourself , Only you can be your own LIGHT . Just try to admit (I know it's hard and i am trying to find a way too) And there you shall see that there is light at the end of the darkest tunnel too. 😃
