Suggest Treatment For Lightheadednes With Numbness In Limbs

Hi I have been very lightheaded on and off for 6 weeks now this has come with mild headaches, numbness and tingling in all limbs which also comes and goes and shooting pains which are less common. My right arm has been causing me some pain. I have been having panic attacks which i was given beta blockers for but I still have bad anxiety which is made worse by my physical symptoms. The doctor I have seen thinks this is all due to anxiety but I want a second opinion

yes it could be due to anxiety, but you need to rule out other causes before this, and a proper investigation is the way out.
consult a neurologist and he will guide you properly.
