Light Sweats, Numb Hands, Depressed Due To Stomach Bug Lasting For Long. Is Anxiety Taking Over?

I came down with what seemed to be a stomach bug a month ago. I had a panic attack (I think) on the second day. The whole illness has been very draining and put me in a bad mood most of the time. It s just wearing off but the whole experience has left me rather down and depressed with anxiety of the bug or another illness returning. I ve had a lot of time on my own which isn t nice when you re ill and down. I ve also woken in light sweats and with completely numb hands. Is anxiety taking over? I ve never had troubles with it before. Many thanks

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
From the description that you have given it appears that you are having an anxiety disorder. You need to consult a psychiatrist who can assess you in detail about various issues. If you are diagnosed with depression or anxiety, I am sure he can use various psychological or pharmacological ways to help you out.
Hope i am able to solve your queries.
Wish you good health.
