is this normal

[gb1984]

I have tingeling and numbness on the left side of my head i'm always freaking out about it and some times i feel like i'm having a heart attack i feel like i'm going crazy everyone keeps telling me it anxiety but how are u suppose to make yourself beleive that? I've been like this for awhile now and seems like now my panicking is getting worse especially since i've stopped smoking!

Have you considered going to your doctor?
This COULD be anxiety related to your recent smoking cessastion.
Are you using an anti-smoking aid? If you're on Chantix, some people get very odd side effects.
You say that people are telling you it's just anxiety and you wonder how you're suppose to make yourself believe that. Well, if you see your doctor and rule out strokes and heart attacks and insanity, if anxiety is the only card left in your hand, then maybe you'll believe it.
Bottom line..............see your doctor.
I'm sure you're fine, but I'M not the one that needs to believe that.
Good luck with your quit! Just keep telling yourself that smoking is NOT an option!
Peace
