Hi. scooby07. Yes, this is an anxiety panic attack. Now do not get alarmed. This has happened to many on this site and that is why we are able to help. Are you at home?

Now listen. Go and sit in a chair and let your body slump. Go all loose. Take a deep breath and let it our slowly. Now (do not be alarmed by this) see if you can make your symptoms worse. You will find you are unable to because you have experienced all that this bout of Adrenaline/ anxiety can throw at you. By running away in fear you create more adrenaline and so more symptoms. These are not symptoms of a stroke. If they were it would not go and come back again. The way you feel is so common in an anxiety state. These are classic symptoms. We have all been there so do not allow it too much attention. More advice will follow from others. Come back if you want to. We are here to help. Regards. jonathan.

had the same thing on Friday with numbness on my left arm and leg, luckily i finished work and i just sat down on my sofa and tried to relax, of course i couldn't help overthinking it but that will make it worst, just don't panic. i get the swollen lips all the time, i always think that i might have eaten something wrong and caused myself allergy not the case, just my mind playing teicks on me my mind should find another mate to play tricks on

don't worry dear everythign will be fine
