Thread: Panic update

The x-ray turned up fine, and the mri was fine, they did not have to do contrast. I had the EMG yesterday, and it was way worse than I remembered it, last time about 4 yrs. ago they did my right hand, and it came up clean. This time he sent me to the hospital to have it done, it was the left hand/arm, she stuck me with those probe/needle things three times in my neck, and she took pitty on me and only stuck me on the pad of my right hand right under my thumb. The woman was nice but efficent (sp) I can handle the shocks, but being stuck and jabbed with those things hurts bad and she was not gentle with them. And then having to push against them. She told me I did have CT in both wrists, not to bad in the left, worse in the right. I thought I was going to have to pull over twice yesterday coming home, my face got the tingles again and I got light headed, so I'm wondering if Panic attacks are causing this.


Doc. put me on Simcor (2) 1,000-20 mg caps at bedtime and i have to take an asprin before I take them or else I have flushing......and OMG yesterday I started itching right under my arms and on my legs.

Panic attacks just suck, I have them.
I take Xanax up to 4 times a day.
They really are not funny at all and hard to describe.
I am happy your test results are OK.
Take care, now!

a friend of ours her face would get all tingly and numb and they found out she had bells palsy. now I have whats called mitral valve prolapse its a heart valve defect and my dr said panic and anxiety attacks go along with that which so far I havent noticed any. I found out I had this through a heart ultrasound. I thought it was my asthma but it wasnt. I was getting pain under my left arm real bad and my hand and arm would tingle like it was asleep and Id have chest pains. they finally put me on verelan pm to help my circulation and that has gotten rid of the pain,tingles,etc. so maybe you have poor circulation? or something else maybe? and they gave you simcor? do you have high cholesterol?

I have MVP too and was diagnosed at the tender age of 15...I had to take Inderol back then and then was weaned off it. Now at 37 the anxiety attacks are coming back (Xanax is really helping) so I'll probably need to get the MVP checked out again.

tracey yeah they have me on the simcor because of high cholesterol, but I don't think that I can take it. I didn't take my Friday night dose because of horrible itching, I have a good case of hives right now, the back of my legs swelled up and really hurt.
I've deceided that I'm not going to worry about the tingles unless they get worse or unless the doc wants to keep looking for the cause.
