Do you think?  I don't know what I'm going to find out from the doctor.  I think they channel that out as the last resort because they don't  know what you have.  I was his and abused, I do believe my spinal cord felt some of the abuse.  I am sure that has something to do with it.
Thanks for listening!
I'll let you know how my doctor visit went.
See ya!

This discussion is related to tingling and numbness in face.

[Dr. A. Srivastava]

Thank you for your question. There can be several reasons of such symptoms although without being able to examine you I can not offer you the specific advice on diagnosis and treatment that you need, but I would try to provide you some relevant information about your health concern.

Most likely possibility in your case could be a panic or anxiety disorder that you have faced during last event and currently experiencing. Cause of such panic disorder mostly remain unknown but in this disorder you may feel symptoms like shortness of breath, feeling of choking, pain in the chest, nausea, stomach ache, feeling dizzy, tingling or numbness, chills /hot flashes, bounding heartbeat or fast heart rate, sweating, shaking etc. even without any underlying disorder. This disorder needs to be thoroughly assessed by a psychiatrist first since this can occur repeatedly and without warning.  Treatments may include psychological and drug treatments, and depend upon extent of severity of symptoms. Most commonly psychological treatment tried is counseling, relaxation techniques and sometimes cognitive behavior therapy. ************** depends upon treating the underlying depressive illness through anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medicines.  In addition, try to rest in a dark & quiet room, meditate, have a balanced diet, regularly exercise and avoid taking unnecessary non prescription drugs to avoid recurrence of symptoms.

Hope this helps!!

Years ago, a good friend of mine would get hives whenever she had an attack of anxiety.  She took medicine to stay calm.  I also know that when you go thru menopause, women will usually kind of freak out with their nerves, but it goes away after you get thru it.  The numbness I don't know too much about, so it's good you are going to visit a doc.  In the meantime, when you feel like your heart is going to give out, take some real deep breaths, slows the heart and reduces anxiety.
