Suggest Treatment For Anxiety And Numbness In Hands

I don’t know what condition I have. Over the past 2 years I have been having “anxiety” episodes, I don’t even know if it’s anxiety, but it’s the way i feel when I get these episodes. It was usually during the night, I would not sleep at all because I would feel very anxious but the problem with me is not mentally (I think) but physically; my hands/arms. When I have these episodes my arms feel funny, like numb, I feel so frustrated and start punching things and often I open and close my fists really hard. I don’t have shaky hands because my hands don’t shake, I am the one forcing my hands to shake violently because of this weird feeling in my arms that makes me so frustrated and desperate whenever I have these episodes.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your history and description, the possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms are more likely. So, it is better to consult a psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions.

Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic drugs (Propranolol and Flunarizine combination). Avoid stress, tension, and be calm.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar
