The strangest feeling on Earth

Okay, so panic attacks? Not fun. At all. I am a major sufferer from them, sometimes having 5-7 very small ones a night.

But, last night, was different. I went to the bathroom at around 1:00. After 30 seconds of sitting down, I noticed my foot becoming numb. No big deal. That always happens. The seat's too darn high! So, I went to bed, still with the numbness in my foot. After about 5 minutes, I noticed something odd: my left leg, let arm, and left side of my face felt deadened. Not by much, but it was noticeable.

So, I went to my grandma in the next room, who also suffers from panic attacks. She said that it was just a panic attack, so just let it pass. I was scared, as I've never felt like that before.

But, I took her advice, and tried to go to sleep. It did not pass. I fell asleep at around 6:30. When I awoke an hour later, the deadening was gone. So, I went to brush my teeth. Something was wrong. I can't explain how it feels, but I knew how to describe it in medical terms: impairment of proprioception.

It is the weirdest feeling ever. I still have it, and that was 6 hours ago. My grandma said that it was very bad panic attack, as she's experienced the same thing.

It doesn't hurt, I can move (though, slightly sloppier, as I can't tell the movements of my hands without seeing them), and I can walk perfectly. It shouldn't impair anything, it's just... weird...

Yeah, anyone got any suggestions for this?

 

hmmm...I think I have the same thing...maybe not though. and when you say your arm and stuff felt deadened..could you still move your arm around. And if you could did it feel kinda weird to do that...?

 

I could still move fine. I don't think it felt weird. Right now, my entire body feels weird.

 

Can you define weird and how long has this feeling been going on today?

 

Since I woke up. About 6 hours.

I can't really explain it. Lift up your arm and close your eyes. You can still subconsciously know where it is no matter where you put it. Well, I can't do that. Well, I can because I can feel the skin itch on my hand, therefore telling me where it is, but I can't do it subconsciously.

That's probably the best I can describe it.

 

Hmm. Try banging your head into a fully heated stove.

 

If it's been happenening for six hours then I would start to consider maybe going to the hospital. I mean I doubt it's anything serious, but just in case. And also your parents are aware of this, right?

 

*goes to try*

OW! You killed me!

EDIT: ^ My grandma insists that it's nothing to be worried about. If there was something wrong with my brain, I would be hurting or something.

Yes, they know.

 

xD Sorry .

 

I get those too...It usually goes away. Try drinking A LOT of water and shaking the numbness out >>;​

 

Well again your grandma is probably right. I used to get panic attacks so I kinda understand what you mean. This sounds like a phycological problem though. Maybe see a psychiatrist? It seems like a phobia since they happen a lot at night.

I don't know.

 

It's not really numbness... it's just... it's difficult to explain. I've had it for quite a long time.

Maybe. I'll try to get my pops to get me a checkup. I think I'm due anyway.
