I'm sure this is a very scary experience for you!

I'm not a doctor, but in my years, I've seen stress produce many of the symptoms you describe, in me and in others. Are you under extreme stress for any reason, or putting yourself under major pressure?

Have you tried some relaxation techniques, including breathing exercises? The terror I experienced after having a stroke has given me many anxious days. Here's one technique I use.
Try repeating to yourself:
I am safe.
I am at peace.
I am healthy.
I am calm.

Give it some time. See if it helps. If not, better see a doctor.

It might be helpful to watch some of my YouTube episodes (about 5 minutes each):

@scottrl -

Only person I’ve seen on this site direct someone in the correct direction rather than causing a viscous cycle by throwing random diagnoses at someone under stress who is worried about stress related symptoms being something “worse”, which keeps person in a cycle.

Kudos to you for not causing this person more anxiety, which unfortunately is what many of the replies here do to people.
