What Causes Panic Attacks Along With Numbness In Feet And Hands?
Hi. I ve been experiencing some strange symptoms. It started with a panic attack. This was on January 2. Since then I ve had a few panics less severe but still have not felt myself since then.And it s at it s worst when I m driving I suppose because I ve had multiple panics in the car. I ve also experienced numbness in my foot and hand (right side only) and have developed ringing in the ears which has not stopped for nearly a week. I also have constantly passing gas and belching. I ve also had a strange head pressure for 2 days that went away. It seems to come and go and is relieved by belching or passing gas.I don t have any headaches or blurred vision or confusion. It s also hard to fall asleep. I ve had a endoscopy and everything checked out.I ve seen a neurologist who suggested putting me on anti-depressants. I ve also had a carotid artery test which I ve yet to get the results for. The next thing I have scheduled is an MRI of my brain. I m very nervous about what s going on and just want to get back to normal. Can someone give me some insight on this please.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have panic attacks along with numbness in feet and hands . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like panic attack , vitamin and mineral deficiency like B12 , muscle spasm and viral pharyngitis . Because of ear infection which sometimes remain persistent and leads to recurrent otitis media and ear pain. It also seems to me that you have eustachian tube dysfunction as per your symptoms .You should go for combination of drugs, yoga, psychotherapy and meditation. You need expert intervention. Such a combination treatment is very much effective. I would suggest you to consult psychologist . Apply warm dry compresses to external ear . Keep your ear dry .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
