Hi, if the doctors cannot find anything physically wrong, it is possible that you may be suffering from extreme anxiety - all the symptoms you describe can result from high anxiety - but of course you would need to exclude all medical conditions.
It may be useful to notice, does anything makes it better or worse? Are there any situations, places or times where the symptoms increase or lessen? If the symptoms worsen in stressful or difficult situations, it may be an indication that the problem is connected to anxiety.

Hi Carol, sorry to hear you have been feeling so terrible for such a long time, unfortunately I don't have any experience with the symptoms you describe.:( You don't mention if you have tried any other routes such as massage, acupuncture, EFT etc. Masha makes some great points about when the symptoms are worse and if they are stress related. Also pins and needles and tingles can often be caused by trigger points in the muscles - search for any sore or tender points that may need releasing.
As a minimum it sounds like you need to find some coping tactics to help you through this difficult time. I can recommend the free 10 minute meditations at
Good luck and I hope you get lots of helpful suggestions on HP! 🙂
hi carol, i had some of your symptoms last summer time. whole left side went numb trembling unable to breath and sweating whilst driving to work. i turned around and went to a+e were i got an ecg and everything was normal but my heart was still racing a little when i got to hospital. the doctors told me it was an anxiety/panic attack due to the fact that i was due to fly in a week or to of this episode and im terrified of flying, and it just so happened that on my way to work i drove by an airport which they said triggerd it. they didn't give me anything for it, but i read some self help books on coping with anxiety and panic and it seemed to help me.
hope you feel well soon.
