Are numbness in arms and panic attacks related?
human
I have been having panic attacks lately and they have been steadily getting worse. Usually when I have one now my left arm goes numb. I went to see a doctor but he told me my panic attacks most likely didn't have anything to do with my numb arm. He told me either blood clot or nerve damage, and last night my arm randomly bruised up and my elbow was swollen.

HiI had gone through your query.Numbness can be a part of anxiety or panic attack.But it is not localized to only arms. It is generalized in whole body.Vitamin deficiency like B12 is common cause of numbness. Go for testing and take treatment accordingly.Nerve conduction study will give idea about any nerve block.Treatment of anxiety or panic attack will improve numbness.Anxiolytic medicines with vitamin supplements will help.Consult physician and psychiatrist for further assistance.I hope i have answered your query.Still if you have query then feel free to ask or directly ask me on  you.
