Lately I’ve been having really bad health anxiety my arm and leg have been numb my head is so tight it feels like it’s burning so I’m having a ct scan next week. I always feel like something is happening to me. I also been experiencing some derealization I️ don’t feel like I’m moving sometimes I’m just hoping there something causing this in my brain so I️ can start treatment. I’ve been praying and trusting in the lord through this hard process

Prayer and positive thinking is all we should do . When I first found out I had anxiety thats how I use to feel . It'll go away . Watch some anxiety coping videos .

I'm atheist so I can't help you in the religious sense, but this may help scientifically:

Pain, sensations and feelings are all perceived. They are all "signals" sent from a place in your body to your brain, via your nervous system. Why is this important? These signals are easily overridden by anxiety. Your anxiety can quite literally make you experience physical pain, as if your leg were getting cut off, without anyone even touching you. It's not likely (thankfully) but a damaged nervous system can definitely cause tons of unexplained problems. I found that I had extreme backaches, kidney pain, stiff neck, numb leg, sore wrists, sore fingers...all these came and went with no explanation, from intensity 1/10 to 9/10. Once I got my anxiety under control and my muscles were not tense all day, that helped. Once my nervous system had a chance to recharge for a couple of weeks after running itself ragged 16 hours a day for a year, that helped a lot more. Best of luck.
