So earlier this year (dec31) my mother passed away. And I've been unable to sleep since then. Things were fine because I was with my whole entire family. I user to feel nauseous and dizzy. And extremely cold. Would shiver very visibally .
Feb my husband and I moved to Egypt . A remote village in egypt . Things began to get difficult for me.
I would be scared to be at home alone by myself . Although I had my little son with me. Everyday I woke up I had fear that I'd die before sunset. I had the same fear the whole month of Jan but it increased in feb. It started affecting my life. I stopped talking. I'm generally a happy and usually smiling person. But I stopped talking or laughing . I hadn't had any physical symptoms yet except extreme fear and what I mentioned earlier
Till one day I had chest pain. At first I thought it was gas and tried to shrug it off my mind but i couldn't keep calm. I was shivering. Crying. I stayed on bed for hours .. thinking I might die.
Checked my symptoms on Google and well Google made it worse.
So we went for ecg and tropomin test and both results were fine.
I started to calm down a bit. But two days later my close friend passed away on march 9. So things have gone back to where were were.
Now I do not have chest pain but pain in my left arm that's on and off. There are no mental health clinics or centres here in this part of egypt.
The hospital is a place I'd not want to visit .
I'm 26 female. Mother. Am I having a panic attack? Is this anxiety ?
My symptoms are:
-I start feeling extremely cold randomly
-fear.
-lump in throat
-left arm aches. (Its like if I've worked out after a long long time)
-begin to feel very sleepy
-nausea
-inability to eat.
-this happened only once. But my left arm turned numb entirely last night. But got back to normal later.
-had spots before my eyes when I woke up this morning .
My ecg is good. My troponin is negative
I can't find a decent hospital here or any mental health anything in this country .. so I hope to find answers from you all.
Thank you.
