Trying not to freak

Yes, anxiety can do exactly that. If you were upset earlier then it has had a knock on effect stress wise. If you ever saw anyone having a heart attack ( my father had one and a friend, right in front of me ) you'd be aware of the difference between the true thing and anxiety. Calm down. You'll be okay

Yes. Absolutely. And dealing with the schools can be very aggravating and frustrating.

Yes I had the exact same thing came out of the blue

Was like a tightness in my upper left shoulder then a little pain just annoying down the outside of my left arm making my arm feel heavy

Did not last long

But because if that one episode I have horrible anxiety/panic

I'm sure you are having the same

It's horrible just breath thru it

However if it persists just go check with your dr

You could be hyperventilating which can cause the chest pain

Anxiety does cause these symtoms, personally I do not feel it is a problem with your heart, although I would advise you talk to your GP and H will possibly arrange tests.

Talk to your GP if this is happening more than once to put your self at rest

You know where we are

The tingling,and numbness is a prelude to a panic attack. It's when your angst is at it's highest,and then we have an attack. You should call your doc, and see about a antidepressant,so you will feel better

This is a problem I have with phychiatrist. They always go for weird meds,before they try something that we understand. Makes me mad. I have no faith in them. I just like my family doc,unless you have some complicated issues. Now this med is to treat seizures,neuropathic pain,shingles, hot flashes,ressless legs, ect. Aren't we talking about anxiety,and panic with you. Am I missing something. The med he gave you is NOT a antidepressant,which is what you need. Oh my,why are you not being treated by your family doc. I would not take that med,if this is suppose to be for anxiety,cause it won't work.
