Hey guys. I experience this from time to time and wanted to know if anyone relates so I can decide whether or not it’s linked to my anxiety…. I have an appointment with my doctor but it’s in a week and it’s keeping me from sleeping. 

I often feel a wave of extreme heat and my legs will just go numb. My heart beats super fast but I can’t react to it and I just sit frozen. It’s kind of like when you are alone hear a sound late at night and freeze in place. I literally can’t move, despite my brain screaming at me to move. I know that I could and that I’m not “frozen” but my body just won’t do it. Then I start thinking I’m stuck and I get light headed and dizzy and then I just snap out of it. 

After this happens, I usually feel really exhausted and nauseous. I’m worried maybe I have a brain tumor or something 😭 someone please tell me that this is a panic attack or something
