Complicated case- symptoms neuro
In april 2024 I started having weakness n numbness n pain in right side of my body- head, neck, arm, leg... it continued for 4-5 days. I visisted a doctor who said it can be nerve related n cervical since my neck was too tight n stiff.. But i was worried its serious- tumour, stroke, aneurysm etc.. so i got ct head done on my own- report came out completely normal and the same day my symptoms reduced by 50%.. the severe numbness now became minor tinlging
Cut to 2 months later- am having same symptoms n thinking what to do? The symptoms disappearing after normal report suggest hypersensitive anxiety.. what is ur opinion on my case?

It seems to be IAD...it's one of the types of anxiety disorder.
It needs to be addressed in a holistic approach for complete recovery.
It can be treated well with counseling sessions and homeopathic medicine effectively.

Hi,
It is possible that your symptoms could be related to anxiety, especially if they seem to improve after receiving reassurance from a normal CT scan. Anxiety can manifest in physical symptoms such as numbness, weakness, and pain, particularly if you are already predisposed to stress or worry. It is important to continue working with your doctor to rule out any other potential causes, but considering the pattern of your symptoms and their response to reassurance, it may be worthwhile to explore how anxiety could be contributing to your symptoms. Therapy or other interventions for anxiety could be helpful in managing your symptoms moving forward.

Hello!
From what you've described, it sounds like you have experienced some significant physical symptoms that have understandably caused you a lot of worry. Given the symptoms have reoccured, it might be helpful to visit a general physician to get current evaluation done. It might be of help to keep track of your symptoms including frequency, duration and any potential triggers.
You may consult a psychologist once the doctor has ruled out a physical basis for your symptoms .

Hello !.
So glad you ruled out any organic cause by doing the test.
If there is no organic or biological cause and if the symptoms right after the reports too , you can screen out if it's psychological too.
You can think on lines of what's happen's right before or on the days when you get these numbness in your body. Is there any other symptoms that you are experiencing. Usually in cases of anxiety you won't just feel numbness or tingling , but you will have other symptoms too.
Talking to a neurologist will also help, since they would be able to understand your numbness and tingling especially it's happening in one side of body.
Next Steps
consult neurologist and rule out
