I was feeling pretty anxious and got the sudden feeling like little parts of my face were going numb. Kind of above and below my eyes, by my cheekbones, and other parts like my chin, nose, ears, etc. It’s like, I could kind of feel them, but they felt half-numbed out. It also felt at one point like my eyelids were gonna be paralyzed if that makes sense. 

When I began getting that feeling, it triggered a full blown panic attack. I thought for a minute I was dying. My arms also felt that weird half numb feeling. 

It worried me a lot because my face started feeling a little numb even before the panic began. I was under the impression that numbness happened after the adrenaline dump of a full blown attack. So I thought I was having a stroke. 

Anyway, has anyone else ever experienced these numb feelings in their face? My brain is trying to convince me that it wasn’t because of anxiety, and that I have some crazy underlying disease that’s going to make me drop dead at any second. 😵‍💫 Its been an hour since the attack and I feel heavy and shaky. My chest is still kind of tight too. Is that normal? 

Would appreciate any reassuring words or similar experiences, thanks y’all  🙏🏻
