I have been dealing with anxiety attacks/ panic attacks since the birth of my daughter 1.5 years ago. I was on Xanax to help deal with it. 25mg, 3x daily. Now I have weaned myself off of them and only take 1 25mg pill at night. For the last 3 months off and on I have experienced numbness and weakness in my left arm followed by slight chest pains on the left side. It seems to happen when I eat (during or after) It feels as though my heart is about to stop. Occasionally I will wake up with both arms being very weak. Also can happen randomly during the day too. What could this be? I am afraid to go back to the ER as they have labelled me as anxiety patient (meaning any pain I come in with they automatically turn me away saying its just anxiety) I'm not happy with the hospital here.
