Suggest Treatment For Back Pain, Pounding Heart Beats Along With Panic Attacks

I was hit by lightning over this summer.And 2 days later a car accident rear ended air bags deployed. Anyway its felt like panic attacks at first they gave me lorazepam it works great but the pain in my back has gotten worse and now im waking up to my heart beating so loud its even in my mouth and lips and now i wake up to my heart shaking instead of pounding i have hot cold and sweats beyound belief and now to add to my despair i have this new wrestless arm and leg syndrom happening i have no famil doctor and i wont even go there when it comes to hospital emerg wards. So what do i do should i be worried is it just panic attacks or is it my heart I just dont know anymore ive had shingles 4 times this year and other then a brain injury and back and neck issues and balance and seizures for a history thats been easy compared to this please help lead me in the right direction im in great need of some mercy thank you

Hello,
From all what you described, I may think of post herpes (shingles) autonomic dysfunction, where you may have increased heart beats sweating and other features as you describe. Though it's a rarity and maybe more through and chronological history will help me prescribe some investigation s if necessary and some meds apart from lonazepam which may help you.
