hello, to start things of i am a 19 year old female. anyways, about....5 days ago, i had the first panic attack ive ever had. it was extremely severe. i was watching a movie with my friends, and i noticed my hand felt a little numb. i thought it was weird, but somewhat ignored it. a few minutes later, a huge rush of emotion just exploded over me. i instantly became anxious. so the first thing i did was stand up and walk out into the lobby. i was with my boyfriend at the time so he came out with me.it was the worst feeling ive ever had. i was shaking uncontrolably, my legs felt numb and my heart was going extremely fast. i had the feeling i was going to die, like most people who have panic attacks. it lasted unusually long, about 45 minutes to an hour. during that time i had asked my boyfriend to take me to the grocery store and i got some aspirin in case it was a heart attack or something. the next day i had another one, not as bad, but still pretty serious. and also the day after that i had another one. the past 2 days or so havent been as bad, my anxiety is almost completely gone. but the arm soreness is still there. my right arm has been sore, like i lifted too much. not all the time but occasionaly. also, i noticed that if i dont eat right away when i get hungry, my face goes numbish. i checked my blood sugar and it was 73, and that was about an hour after eating som peanut butter on some whole wheat toast with a banana. lately ive also been very tired, and very weak, and when i stand up and walk around i tend to feel worse. i have never had problems like this before in my life. and im kinda scared because the soreness is always in my left arm. being that im 19 my parents think nothing of it as being the symptom of a heart attack. im not extremely overweight. also, when im hungry and my stomach hurts, i try to eat. but my desire to eat anything is completely gone. as soon as i start chewing the food i get the feeling of nausea. its weird. right now im sitting here and my arm is getting even more numb. i went to the doctor and she set me up to get a blood test in 2 days or so. also, im suppoesd to start my period in a few days and am wondering if this is hormonal because my right breast has some pains in it from time to time, like sharp stabbing pains. ive been crying for no reason too. those are things i usually get a week before my period anyways, but i was wondering if maybe it is hormonal or not, especially since it came on a week before my period is supposed to start, out of no where. but a few weeks ago my shoulders were hurting, like my joint, and i was very tired and my lymph nodes were swollen. i also get hot flashes. what do you think this all might be??? cause im not a depressed person, and ive never had an anxiety attack before. help?
