Worst Panic Attack Ever!

Posted , 2 users are following.

Im going through a real bad episode of health anxiety and worrying i have MND or MS due to muscle twitching and aching.

I had the worse panic attack ive ever had during the night last night, my whole body was trembling and i just feel totally wiped out today and still feel shakey. Is this normal?

    yes, it’s normal! I’ve been through that many times myself. The muscle twitching is due to the panic, attack and anxiety.

    I know how awful panic attacks are. But remember, they are not going to hurt you. Muscle twitching is extremely common.. My neurologist told me that if it happens in MND it would be in the later stages of it. And you would definitely know that if you had it. So try to relax about this. I know that when I get muscle twitches the more, I think about them the more they would keep going. That’s because anxiety and panic. Get them going.

    Muscle twitching is not an initial symptom of MS.

    You had a panic attack. Find a way to calm down your mind. Could be exercise, meditations for anxiety, long, slow, deep breathing. I hope you feel better today.
