Hello

I have had this , anxiety can affect the nerves in the body

If 3 different Doctors have said it is anxiety then I would imagine they are right but if you are not happy then you could ask them to refer you for more tests

Hello. Thanks fir reply🙂. I just find it strange it changes sides. They have put me in to see neurologist and they want to do a mri scan on my brain which make me nervous incase something is wrong.

Hello

There is nothing more strange than the body , I have just learnt that the hard way thinking I was fine then having a heart attack and now my way of thinking is slowly changing , I doubt there is anything wrong however they are just doing their job and making sure , wish someone had made sure with me and I know the fear but just think once they have done this you will no doubt get the all clear and if the worse was they found a little something which I do doubt they could fix it before it became anything major so you win both ways when you look at it like that

Try not to think to much of the whys and so on I know it is not easy but try and say right finally I am getting the right help and will soon have peace of mind

Let us know how you get on x

This is exactly how I am now and it’s so scary. My left arm feels weird and detached and weak. I get muscle twitches in my face and body and over all I also get really bad head stabbing pains. We will be okay!

Hi. My symptoms aint always there just when my subconscious mind will kick in and remind me to check is that the same for you? I do get the odd muscle twitch in my face and arm. Thanks for reply

At times, yes. It’s the worst for me at night cause I can’t sleep and fear that my arm will go numb and I always move it just to make sure. It’s all in our heads whatsoever...I promise you!

I really do hope so. I ended up with these symptoms because I had a cold thinking I had covid-19 cause I lost my sense of smell and taste but test was negative but I ended up having anxiety attack went really hot and heart rate went crazy and I was left with this on right side been on left side and swaps sides. Thanks
