There's a lot and that's why seeing a doctor is so very important. I am actually having an anxiety attack right now after reading your post. You didn't cause it :) but it certainly did stir up some stuff with my anxiety.

For an anxiety sufferer like ourselves. It can be very hard. I have numbness in my left hand, an odd pain in my back and shortness of breadth. This could be a lot of things. Things I'd rather everybody not mention because I know them well. But if I went to the ER every time these things popped up well at one time in my life I'd live there. The probability suggests that I am fine. The probability suggests that after thousands of trials similar to this of which I ended up fine, I will likely be fine here. There's a chance I will not be but it's a chance I need to take.

Wish you the best :)

I get so many symptoms on and off (which include numbness, aches, shortness of breath, chest pain). The way I bring myself to relax about these things is that I don't worry about them unless they persist for a particularly long time without any breaks in their occurrence. I actually expressed similar sentiments just now in another comment about the pitfalls of worrying too much.
