Working through it...

[DisneyMom3]

For the past hour I’ve been afraid that I’m having a stroke. I had numbness of the left side of my head to my ear.. freaked out.. got home, took my BP and it was fine.. tried to calm down and I’m still scared. Everything is tingling. Just took 2mg of valium.. praying it helps soon to avoid an ER visit.

Hang in there, Disney mom! These panic attacks are scary but not life threatening. Symptoms are real and sometimes unbearable. Months ago I started an anxiety recovery journal. Each time I had an attack at home I would document every sensation I felt in my body. It was nice to look back and reflect on something I'd been through before when having an attack. Keep in mind this is after many doctor visits and getting proof I was fine.

Ever think of using natural supplements? I'm a near expert with them and can probably help you if you would like me too. Let me know....

I had mine last night. I was sure at any moment I would pass out and my husband would have to take me to the ER. Our bodies are amazing. You tell me a few symptoms and give me some time and I'll have them and then some. I went to bed and woke up feeling fine. I have had these anxiety attacks many times over the years. I hardly ever do any more, but every once in awhile on pops up. You have to ignore it or it will get ahold of you, sink it's teeth in, and they you have to fight it off all over again.. To reassure you, I can tell you I have never been harmed by anxiety, the things I worry about do not happen. If you stop living your life though you give your power away. pam

That sounds like me... if I hear about symptoms or read something, within the next day I have the same symptoms! Our mind can do some crazy things.

Sounds like a panic attack to me. I've had some numbness around head too. It can be very frightening. A stroke comes with other symptoms that's why I knew it wasn't that.

Some time I woke up with head one side head numbness. 10 days before I woke up with left side head numbness and feel full head numb during working hours.

Now I feel only on my back left and slightly on right also.

Could someone help me...pls
