[29F] Experiencing pronounced tremors, dizziness, and paresthesia

What might be happening

Based on the information you've provided, here are some possible explanations for your symptoms:

• Panic Attack: This is a sudden episode of intense fear that triggers severe physical reactions when there is no real danger or apparent cause. Symptoms can include rapid heart rate, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, and feelings of impending doom. The pins and needles sensation could be due to hyperventilation associated with the panic attack.

  • Treatment typically involves cognitive behavioral therapy and sometimes medication.

• Hyperventilation Syndrome: This occurs when you start to breathe very quickly. Exhaling more than you inhale causes a rapid reduction in carbon dioxide in the body which can lead to dizziness, light-headedness, weakness, shortness of breath, a rapid heartbeat, chest pain and pins and needles.

  • Treatment involves techniques to help you relax and breathe normally.

• Hypoglycemia: Low blood sugar can cause symptoms like dizziness, shaking, sweating, and rapid heartbeat. It can occur in people with diabetes who take medication to increase insulin levels in the body.

  • Treatment involves consuming a quick source of sugar such as fruit juice, candy, or another high sugar snack.

Please note that these are just possibilities and not a definitive diagnosis.

What you can do

Given the severity and sudden onset of your symptoms, it's important to seek immediate medical attention. While waiting for help:

1. Try to stay calm. Deep, slow breaths can help reduce symptoms of panic and hyperventilation.
2. If you have a history of diabetes, check your blood sugar levels if possible and treat accordingly.
3. If you're alone, let someone know what's happening or call a local emergency number.

What you should look out for

Seek immediate medical help if:

• Your symptoms get worse or do not improve.
• You experience chest pain, shortness of breath, or difficulty speaking.
• You have a history of heart disease and these symptoms are new.
