Hi all, I came across this website tonight, after googling some strange symptoms I have been having. I know its not good to self diagnose but would really appreciate it anyone could maybe help as Its been making me feel so anxious and no GP till Monday.
I recently had a really bad panic attack after doing a 8 mile walk.. I had been very stressed and running around like a headless chicken, I have always suffered from anxiety and panic attacks but this felt different and it was quiet frightening. I felt unwell afterworlds but just put it down to not taking care of myself. Then a week or so ago, in the middle of the night I woke up/jolted up which every once in a while I do but this time my throat felt, heavy and abit tight and my hands were tingling, vibrating slightly, I was half asleep and went into a full blown ''I think im having heart attack moment" embarrassing I know but for someone who is an experienced anxiety person I just didnt feel right. in the end my partner called an ambulance, my face, chin area and lower cheeks were tingling, hands and lower arms really tingling. Which when the ambulance came he said yes thats a symptom of to much oxygen from panicking, So I popped to the hospital just to be certain and all was ok, they said you must have anxiety etc etc.... came home feeling a twit.
now a week later I had a few vertigo moments which have been plaguing me the last few months... but last night I was fast asleep, not necessarily stressed. But I woke up, either my vertigo or just randomly sat up and same thing again, tingling in arms slight vibration of my own heartbeat but it felt like a vibration. So I calmed myself down, made sure I wasn't about to go into hyperventling mode. (was home alone) . I took my vertigo tablet and stayed awake as long as I could. Ive felt abit off all day but its now 11pm and im sat here doing my own thing, not stressing and I can feel the same tingling around mouth chin area, hands feel a bit tinglingly. im not panicking and breathing fine. But I can feel it in my hands too... so I thought id google as the nurse said the tingling was from the anxiety...... also since January ive had vertigo here and there especially at night, sometimes jolt up feeling heavy around my neck at night, my memory seems to have completely disappeared. Normally im rational with my anxiety and can quickly connect the dots over what is happening and having anxiety since I was 9, I pretty much no whats happening but my rational thought, memory has been clouded, foggy headed, dizzy, vibrating feeling, also rapid heartbeat at the moment. Period time is the worst. Im not sure if this last note is worth anything but during my pregnancy I had an iron infusion back in to 2015 as my iron was so low... and then weirdly enough the 1st 2 times I had a panic attack id taken a multivitamin high in strength for hair, nails and skin.... that could be a coincidence but I only took them 4 times twice each panic attack day and day prior. I know that the panic comes thinking the tingling or vertigo or tight chest is something more serious..... So after that ramble has anyone had these exact symptoms, does it sound like a thyroid problem.??? I will be seeing my GP on Monday but it would put my mind at ease abit for tonight,
