Hi TylishaC,
Thank you so much for reaching out, it's very brave of you 🙂
First of all, it's BRILLIANT you're seeing your doctor tomorrow. GP's are always the front line defenders for all of us and I encourage you to stick with this course of action. If things get worse, most certainly think about presenting at your local hospital emergency department.
I'm no doctor and can only tell you what I believe you're experiencing. A friend of mind who's suffered anxiety all her life recently started displaying similar symptoms except hers extended to her face. First her hands then arms would become weak and one side of her face would go numb and she thought she was experiencing a stroke. She even went as far as calling 000 as it scared her so much. It turned out that she was experiencing "panic attacks" brought on by her constant anxiety. Once the Dr's diagnosed her correctly, they prescribed a course of action which has since relieved all the episodes and she's much better now.
Here's some questions that'll help us help you..
Do you have people around you that you can talk to?
Do you have a support network you can turn to?
Have you found anything that you can do that elevates your symptoms?
Looking forward to hearing back from you
