To me it sounds a lot like an anxiety disorder as many ppl with this do tend to become overly sensitive to how there bodies are acting, like every time your heart start beating faster you tend to stop everything and the muscles in your body tend to tences up and causes the pain,numbness and heeavy feelings that you are going though but I'm no doctor just someone that has gone though what I would call an anixety disorder

I'm not a doctor but your symptoms seem more like panic attacks rather than MS.  I would start documenting exactly what you were doing when symptoms present themselves.  I would also look at what you ate, your overall health, and what the weather was like.  This will help you to find patterns that trigger your symptoms as well as give your doctor more information inorder to better diagnose you.  Good luck.

It could be a variety of disorders.

What type of Drs. are you seeing and what test if any have they done?
