hi, i am fairly new to anxiety/panic attacks. i had my first panic attack about 4 months ago and from there it wasnt too bad, barley had any after my first but now its gotten worse. i cant sleep without waking up heat racing and finding it hard to breathe, now ive been getting more physical Symptoms and ive convinced myself something is wrong with my head, my head has been foggy and sometimes feels tight with sharp pains that dont last long. my right hand sometimes cramps and my right arm can sometimes feel numb, the more i stress myself about it the worse the symptoms get. i have also had blurred vision and struggle to focus, ive been told this is just anxiety?
It very well could be just anxiety. It does a lot of weird stuff! Always get checked to be sure but I’ve had a lot of the symptoms you describe. I’ve had anxiety since age 13 I’m 26 now
same with me. I get the racing heart with palpitations alot. the more we focus on it, the more we feel. Definitely like Chelsea suggested, its always good to get checked unless you already have. Anxiety can cause hundreds of symptoms!! hope you feel better soon!
hi,
thankyou for your reply! ive already been to he doctors a month or so after my first attack, i explained my foggy head and panic attacks and he said it was anxiety, its only recently i have had hand cramps and numbness in my right arm and eye strain, i have an eye test soon hopefully glasses will help with the eye strain? ive been scaring myself by telling myself i could have a tumor or something wrong with my head!?
Don’t stress over things like tumor. There are so many other causes for that stuff anxiety being one of them! Brain tumors usually get way worse and give really bad symptoms.. the anxiety will make you think you have really bad symptoms. Ive thought I had a brain tumor for the last 4 years but got a clear scan. Anxiety sucks but you can beat it
