Hi,
I started raw 1 week ago. Last night I noticed I had some numbness in my left foot and left arm. It is reminiscent of what happened to me a few years ago. I had this numbness in my left arm and it escalated into me thinking I was dying. My heart was going crazy and I was dazed.I ended up in the hospital. I think I must have given myself a panic attack about the numbness. Overnight people kept coming in and waking me because my heartrate was dropping below 30. I had a series of tests in the hospital and my heart checked out ok. They tested for MS and TSI and I didn't have any of those things. Later they did more followup tests and they did find some nerve damage in my left arm but they couldn't figure out why. I have had permanent weakness in that arm but I haven't really noticed it much in a while and I have been feeling really good and pretty much forgotten about the whole things. Then last night it started really strong again. I got my period yesterday which also happened last time I was in the hospital so I don't know. I just watched my breathing so I wouldn't progress into a panic attack and decided to go for a walk at 12:30pm. I went to sleep fine but awoke feeling funny today, a little queasy and my arm is weak and tingly. I am just wondering if anyone has any ideas that might help me get through it because I hesitate to go to a traditional doctor because it didn't do me any good the last time.
