does anyone get pins and needles feelings in their left arm? I will get very hot and throw myself into a panic when this happens, then I also end up with chest pain. I also have been getting a stabbing pain on top of my head. I hate anxiety. I especially hate health anxiety. I'm on no meds and dont have insurance, so I cant run to the doctor everytime it gets bad
pins and needles are very common. Maybe you were laying on that arm or compressing it in someway. I can get that even when it’s not compressed. You have to try not to freak out because that will increase your anxiety.
getting very hot, chest pain and head pain can be due to your anxiety..
You’ve got to learn how to calm down. when you feel panicky, so search on YouTube for something called stop panic attacks now. Then scroll down to one called don’t panic in black letters. She guides you through it and it really works!
I do this anytime I start getting really anxious and panicky. Once you learn it you can do it anywhere without anybody knowing. There’s also some great meditations for anxiety .
thanks!
Try deep breathing count 6 in through nose and hold for 2 then exhale for 8 through mouth
Practice this on a regular basis at home in a nice quiet place it has really helped me.
All the best.
Sorry forgot to say do this exercise at home for a min of 5 minutes. But you can do it when you are out and about a couple or three times to calm you down
sounds exactly like me!, I have left arm pain and automatically assume it’s my heart even though I have been tested and had my blood done twice lol, also have a stabbing pain in the back of my head along with dizziness on a daily basis, I’ve realised the more I think of it the worst it gets a try to distract my mind by doing something active but on a night when am in bed is when I can not get rid of the thoughts sometimes I just go with the symptoms and accept them sometimes it goes sometimes it dosent I need to retrain my brain to accept that It is aniexty but easier said than done
