Not sure what is going on...

Hello all, I'm a newbie here and I'm not really sure if this is the right forum, but maybe someone will know something.

I have been undergoing some pretty bad stress since January. I had a panic attack and all of a sudden I notice that the bottom of my foot is sort of vibrating. Then I notice that my arm feels weird. The next day, I have a pain in the palmar side of the pit of my elbow, feels like a bruise. It gets worse if I extend my arm to its full length. I have tingling, and pins and needle feeling in my fingers and they are sluggish now. As well as numbess and dull pain in my whole arm.

I spoke to a psychiatrist who says it's very unlikey it was any kind of stroke (I'm still young at 27). He then thought it unlikey it's Neuropathy, but more psychosomatic...

What is going on? Has anyone else experienced this, and is it permanent? I'm going to go see an Neurologist as soon as I can.

Not doing very well at the moment. :(

I would agree with Vickie. Get the cardiac workup if you can, not saying that's what it is, but it will put your mind at ease on that part if it shows everything OK. One less thing to worry about, right?

There are types of seizures that can mimic stroke type symptoms. When I was working, I did phone tech support, and was very calmly talking out of my head. When I realized I couldn't remember the previous 5 minutes, or what I was trying to do, I called for a supervisor who took care of the rest of the call, called 911, but all my readings were normal by that time. It can also be called a TIA or Transient Ischemic Attack.

When I listened to the call later with my boss, we were both able to tell the moment the wheels fell of the wagon.

I'd pop over to the panic attack board and introduce myself there as well. Lots of different coping strategies there.

Hope this helps, and welcome!
