      Hi Sarah,sorry for the anxiety your suffering from but Xanax will help I promise you that Google it a another medicine Klonopin this has really helped me my anxiety was always present but devastating after a death which caused PTTD good luck hopefully one of the two will get you back on track there both for anxiety

      Bless you I know how hard it is when the symptoms are constant but you are literally in a vicious circle and you need to try and break it! Everything you do contributes to the anxiety and keeps it going there is a really good book that helped me it is called overcoming health anxiety it is worth a read Hun.

      You have basically convinced yourself that there is something seriously wrong with you and you are to aware of your bodily sensations, hope this helps x

      just convinced its ms kerry every minute of every day,my arm and fingers felt rubbery earlier as well as the usual numbness/tingling and for about an hour i convinced myself its a mini stroke!the same thing happened about a week ago,i always have the numbness /tingling feet face and hand and that freaks me out enough without the rubbery feeling,do you know what i mean and hav you felt it?i felt like my arm and hand werent mine if that makes sense x

      I know it's scary and I get it because I'm the older but wiser lol version of you I've managed to dwindle my attacks to twice a day morning is the worst but I tell my self I feel bad but I'm gonna be ok how I can say twice?loads of practice deep breaths even when I'm out of the attack sweetie ask you Dr to give you one of those meds it will drastically change your life from where you are now be safe

      i dont think i have attacks as such just constant panic instead,im on beta blockers and on 7th day of prozac ,the constant numb face scares me enough without a numb tingly hand x

      My face from cheekbone to under my neck was numb and tingly I also has a sensation in my face it was aweful but it was triggered by my bp I still get it but it was everyday from the age of 25-30 not sure how I didn't really freak out but I knew I was the one who had to fix me I took the meds but breathing and focusing helps relieve my anxiety just a bit faster in conjuction of course with meds are you monitoring your bp? I come with a slew of health issues but anxiety is one of the worse
