So I have realllly bad health anxiety. Last week, I started having daily panic attacks a few times a day after a few days of headaches because I had convinced myself it was a brain tumor or something. I should mention I was having panic attacks several times over the last month. One week I had to take Ativan sometimes twice a day because of how bad it was. 

Anyway, following last weeks panic attacks that are still occurring, I started getting a sensation in my legs like they were asleep and then feeling would come back. I don’t notice it as much when I’m up walking around and such. They progressed to sometimes my hands, and then these sensations of burning, and then it even has moved to head pressure and face tingling sometimes. These all come and go and I’ve been to my GP twice and the ER once yesterday. They all tell me it’s my anxiety manifesting physically and I need to lower my anxiety levels and it should improve.

I find it so hard to believe that my anxiety has suddenly caused all this but the timeline does add up as this was all following weeks of panic. I’m afraid it’s going to be like this forever. The doctors won’t even run tests aside from a physical neuro exam and say I don’t qualify for imaging. I don’t know how to let this go/get better and truly believe it’s my anxiety. I hardly eat/sleep these days.
