Cant sleep

[Kari7495]

I was woken up by a shooting pain in my knee. I'm assuming i got bit by something but now I've derailed. There was a popped blood vessel when I looked. I cant sleep. I have shooting pains all over my body and numbness and tingling. I feel totally off . My body is si heavy and actually in pain. I'm super scared again my head hurts and I just want to sleep.

I was having head zaps too and the muscle tension pain is the worst. Why does this keep happening.

I'm now scared of what could have bitten me. If it was poisonous and if that's why I dont feel good now. I just want to sleep

Can anxiety make my whole body numb and tingling. Heavy? And those shooting pains? I keep seeing flashes of light in my vision too.

I feel as if it's completely possible for anxiety to be causing your symptoms. I would see a doctor if it goes on for multiple days but this sounds like a panic attack to me. I hope that you're able to find sleep and feel better soon.

absolutely. when i get REALLY anxious, i literally feel like i've been drugged and just moving around is like wading through syrup.

tingling, flashes of light... both likely anxiety-related. as for your shooting pains, sometimes that stuff happens. muscle spasm, random nerve misfire, injury or inflammation, dehydration... the list goes on and on. i know these aren't answers people like us want to hear (no definitive explanation) all totally normal and all totally harmless and absolutely part of being human.
