Hi, I would really appreciate it if someone could read my post, I am very scared, I am a 26-year-old male, needing advice, any help is very much appreciated. I am very concerned about these symptoms.
On October 27th I woke up feeling extremely tired (super tired) had a black coffee espresso one night before, October 29th I went to six flags, first time experience, I felt like I made a lot of pressure with my head (I had an intense fear for roller coasters), November the 2nd I had my first panic attack on the freeway, I felt I couldn't think straight, tingling in my extremities, closing hands, I felt like I was going to die, I associate this with the experience I had in six flags as well had 2.5 or 3 lts of coffee that same day, ended up on the ER. Dr. performed an electrocardiogram, and a chest x-ray, and all came good, his diagnostic: palpitations due to anxiety/panic attack.
One week after my panic or anxiety attack (according to the doctor) I remember feeling super tired, the same tiredness from October 27th (tiredness went away), this tiredness lasted 3 days, as well as night sweats, brain fog, fear, dissociation, depersonalization (those night sweats went away as well as the dissociation and depersonalization ) lots of crying for the minimum emotion (crying doesn’t happen anymore). I performed a cranial CT scan one week after, came clear, urine and blood tests as well. Since then, I have been having muscle twitches all over my body almost all day sporadically, legs, near my knees, arms, hips, belly, eye twitch when I close them hard. sometimes tingling in my extremities, fear of having another panic attack, constant anxiety, bad memory, 1 eye floater in one of my eyes (eye floater usually goes away) left index finger itchy always on the same spot, UTI or what I thought it was an UTI, shortness of breath.
4 weeks ago, I started to have what I believe is perceived weakness in my hands, especially the left hand (non-dominant hand), it is a weird feeling like I could not move a pen, I think this mostly happens when I am sitting when I distract myself it goes away and I can perfectly grab the pen with that weird feeling, again, this usually happens when I am not thinking about it or sitting on my computer, this could go all day if I think or concentrate on that (I also remember having this weird hand feeling a few years back when trying to write while sitting) what scares me is that today I started to have a burning sensation on my hands and arm.
Note: I have had back pain and neck pain for a few years now it has improved with physiotherapy. I am a very nervous person and stress out pretty quickly; I associate this with 5 years of sleeping on a couch as well 8 years of working on a chair. I also have had OCD since I was a teenager.
God bless and have a nice day.
