Left arm numbness...please help

[Mandah2386]

My anxiety is at an all time high. These fears have taken over me. Started as a lump in throat, got all clear on that. Then shoulder blade pain, rubbed some muscle cream on, it went away. But I went to the dr Monday to get back on meds and my blood pressure was high, it's never high, but I was super stressed, dr didkt even bring it up. And ever since my anxiety has been high worrying that I am having a heart attack. My left arm is numb feeling and tingling. I do know that often happens with my panic attacks but I cant convince myself this time. I feel no other symptoms. I also started a new medicine and I'm torn on calling and just requesting my old medicine. I think I picked a wrong time to try something different with my anxiety being so crazy right now. I have some ativan but I hate to take it because I worry about getting addicted. Please help me

My anxiety often messes with me with left arm pain which freaks me out but shortly goes away. Sometimes my anxiety screws up and gives me the pain down my right arm. I don't fall for that symptom.

Anxiety has the ability to play with your mind and body. It’s pretending to be serious but it isn’t. Don’t forget anxiety also tends to tense up your muscles this can lead to some trapped nerves or inflammation. If the back muscles tense up, this can lead to a lot of uncomfortable symptoms, like chest pain, painful arms and legs and in bad cases simulates the symptoms of a heart attack.
