So last night i woke up with a numb arm, and then i got really hot my chest hurt i couldn't breathe properly and was extremely dizzy due to the numb arm i thought it was a stroke! So i rang the ambulance, when they came i wasn't as bad and they told me i was having a panic attack. Is waking up with numbness a sign of anxiety? Its a tough one because that a major symptom of a stoke right?
I have suffered from stress and anxiety for a while now, i am only 20 i am mainly stressed due to eating disorders i went from being 90lb at 5"6 to nearly 200lb in recovery i have lost some of that now so i am worried that if i go on anti-depressants that it will make me gain weight, as this is the main cause of my anxiety i don't think this is a good idea.
The paramedics left without really giving me any advice on coping with this... so does anyone have any tips of calming myself down? And activities that may help? Or foods etc..just any advice would be great :)
