Help!

I have struggled with anxiety for awhile with no medication, and right now I have had post-concussion symptoms for 2 weeks. Something has happened that triggered my anxiety tonight and I haven't been able to sleep, I have a numb sensation through my body, I'm lightheaded, I'm shaking/trembling badly, and I'm sick to my stomach. Is this an anxiety attack or should I see a doctor to check on my post-concussion syndrome? HELP!

Thanks for the feedback... I think it may have been just an anxiety attack because it went away fast but if I feel like that again I will make an appointment with my doctor.

I disagree -- some of these symptoms are those of concussions.  Given you know you have this I would go see my doctor just to make sure things are okey dokey.

I think you are fine. I have had sensations like that before without having a concussion. Just an anxiety attack. Take deep breaths count to 10 and focus on something you enjoy. It will be hard but i do it all the time and if you need to talk to someone you can talk to me. I am going through something right now to and I am scared. Know that you are not alone.
