i have had persistent dry cough which has been going on several weeks. My neuro today said that i have carpal tunnel to explain numbness in hands. Took one look at my demeanor and said im a classic heredity Panic attack sndrome. All neuro test came back ok. wants to check for benign tumor like in appendix area (carcinoid) because of the face flushing. the check may have preexisting bronici spasm which in turn cause my panic attacks. Trying xantax full dosage. Results came back from eveything and they said I was normal. I now came back from 10 days of laying out in the sun in mexico and did nothing but try to relax..wasnt thinking about anything and I still have daily bouts of anxiousness. Does anyone have a burning feeling in the neck and left ear, burning like carpal tunel in the wrists, depressed,exhaustion, When i close my eyes to sleep ,when i feeling anxious my eyes it feels like a computer is glitching and my left eye kinda flickers. my eyes some times get blurry not real bad but out of focus. I am taking benicar(bloodpressure) and xantax when needed. I cant work yet.. Whats my next step? In the back of my mind i still feel I have some sort of respiratory disfunction which is puting me in this panic mode... I never had anxiety im scared I need a diagnoses.... what do i do? Who do I see? any advice?
