Legs and Arms feel light and weak ?

Thank God I found this website. Since 4 months I have been feeling down since Doctors say  I have Anxiety issues but I don't believe them.

I am Male 22, had so called panic attack in last November first time. Went to Emergency and though I was dying of heart attack! Doctor said it was Panic Attack!!

Since that day Everyday I wake up with light floating legs and arms. I feel they don't have the energy!! Like I some walk on toes!!!

Have had heart tests/ blood work doctors say its Anxiety.

ANYWAY I have tons of other symptoms!

Last night i came across this neurological autoimmune disease "MS" NOW I am scared to death I might have that!

Seriously what should I do!!! Why do I worry so much !!!

Can we get weak legs and arms feeling from Anxiety!

I do have other Anxiety symptoms like wierd chest tightness/light headedness and others!

I'm a 28 year old male and I have been suffering from a lot of anxiety since October of 2015.  Recently I always feel very week in the legs and its a very weird feeling.  It gets worse if I'm stressing out to the point I begin to worry more.  Does anyone else get this or does anyone have any advice on how I can help to get rid of this weird feeling in my legs?

I am a 16 year old boy (sophomore in high school) and I have been experiencing these weird symptoms. It all started in April of 2015 and now it's March of 2016 but when it first started I was playing baseball and I'm a catcher but then all of a sudden like this warm feeling went through my body and I felt faint . It was humid that day and we didn't have water until later on in the game but ever since then I have experienced a lot of different symptoms such as cold/sweaty hands, people say my face looks flushed. And I LOVE playing baseball and football but ever since that stuff happened in April I've felt weird ever since . I have to pull my self out of games because I feel out of it and things look father them appear and I experience floaters ( they started after the incident in April) I just want to play sports again without no worries

have you been tested for Vitamin D deficiency? it is a cheap test, get your doctor to test you. Vit D deficiency can cause anxiety and muscle weakness.
