What Causes Tremors, Seizures And Numbness In Face And Hands?
Question: I've asked this before but lately I've been paranoid about seizure. I've been really shaky feeling since an auto accident three weeks ago. I'm in great shape and have no family history or personal history of seizure, I also don't think I have any risk factors (ie:healthy weight, no drugs, good blood and good bp. Sometimes I also feel numb in the face and hands. I have a bad case of health anxiety and not sure if this is the culprit. After my accident in the ER 4 CT Scans were performed and all came back great. I never get dizzy or light headed either. Resting HR is 48. Please let me know if these thoughts are just anxiety. Also, my health chart from the ER is attached please review Ct scan results.
Also, my BP was only elevated because I was in the ER.

Its all related to anxiety.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.
I have gone through your health summary and CT scan reports as well.I think you have wrongly mentioned your resting Heart rate as 48/min as your health sheet mentions it as 84/min.Regarding this,your health records cleared my doubt because after reading your query,I was just thinking about-why your HR was low(bradycardia)?But,as I guess,that's a little writing mistake over here.
Variablity of symptoms like shakiness at one point of time and 'numbness in face and hands' at the other-go against an organic cause of symptoms.This is not a typical history of seizure,rather it is a classical history of 'Anxiety' related symptoms.
Please don't worry.Start doing some regular mental relaxation exercises like meditation/yoga and I believe you will be all fine.
How is your neck sprain now?I hope it has improved.
Hope that I have answered your query for now.If you have some follow-up questions,I shall be glad to answer else please close the thread,rate it and write a review as your rating will be of help to me.

Dr. Panwar,
Thank you for your response. This has made me feel much more at ease. I will try to start relaxation exercises and not think so negative about everything.
Also, the neck sprain seems to be getting better, I'm able to play sport without pain the following day.
Just to clarify for the last time, from my history and age im at very low risk for seizure and shouldn't worry about it? It doesn't necessarily seem life threatening anyways so don't know why I'm so concerned. Anxiety is a horrible thing to have and plays so many tricks on the mind.
