I am with you on this. I also started with this about 2 years ago. Why I am not sure but I think it was a combination of family and work related stress. It first started on night and my heart started palpitating really bad. Then it stopped and then it kept happening permanently in the night . I got up and told my sister who is in the medical field . I felt horrible like I was going to have a heart attack. I felt shortness of breath, numbness in my arms and face. Ofcourse horrible palpitation , temperature shifts and sensory disturbance. Sad to say they continued after that . I went then to the doctor who perscribed my alprazolam which if F$%#ing addictive it work for a couple of weeks and then my body would ask for more and more. Good thing I always had the gutts to spoke myself. Then when stoping this medication the withdrawal symptoms were those that I was being treated for. My symptoms from Anxiety/Panick Attacks were constant motion sickness, this made me miserable, then sensory disturbance (twitching) , pain in my facial muscles, numbness in my arms legs face. Ofcourse my palpitation, nausea etc..... My sister even called me a hypocondriac a some point but no one knows that we feel these symptoms only us whom are going through this. I must say I am much better now but still on medication and on days when i forget to take it I feel really sick. I really hope some day I am able to get off my medication and be my normal self again. Needless to say in the begining when all this started I ended up the ER 7 times in one day because of thse symptoms. If your ever feel you need to talk to someone who will listen don't hesistate to PM me I will support and comfort you when needed.
