Does Lightheadedness With Weakness In Arms And Legs Need Medical Attention?

I am experiencing a mild arm and leg weakness and a mild state of confusion and light-headedness... Eating makes it better, but I tend to have difficulty swallowing. In the past I have suffered of severe anxiety and panic, and I had an episode of moderate hypoerventilation 2 days ago.
I can deal with my anxiety, but I am worried about this light-headedness and weakness. I find myself abroad and I want to know if I have to go to the emergency doctor.
