my left side weakness/numbness symptoms story
just my story i wanted to vent and see if anyone was going thru similar - a year ago i had this full left side body weakness and numbness and went to emergency where they did mri and blood tests and everything came back fine.
I even went to a neurologist for a second opinion with the scans and he pointed towards MRI.
Since then everytime i got this left side weakness it was normally went i got anxious like driving etc. Then it would subside after a few seconds-mins. I’ve also been told i get panic attacks
i’ve been trying to manage them but today i lied in bed the whole day as the yesterday I played 3-4 hours of padel and needed a break. All was fine but I suddenly got this feeling evening time where I left my lip felt droopy, arm felt a little numb then while having dinner I got very dizzy and couldn’t swallow. I ate what I could and lying in bed and feel a bit better (although the numbness feeling still exists).
As “S” (i don’t like saying the actual word) they happen immediately to people like the numbness and droopiness don’t linger for long time (neurologist told me) so i don’t need to panic on it as it’s been 30-45mins since i’ve had these symptoms .
It’s just so frustrating esp with health anxiety. How is everyone here coping with this? I feel like I have a timer and at one point everything going to go wrong (touch wood it doesn’t) but i’m so fed with this health anxiety and these symptoms. :(
I’ve heard of things called Ischemic attacks? something like that sorry can’t remember actual name but apparently they are smaller “S” leading to a big one and every day i live in fear that this is what might happen.
I’m only in my early 20s and this is taking over my life :(
