A few hours ago I was at work doing an intake on a patient when I began getting very sharp pains in my chest. This lasted for a couple of minutes and then my left arm went completely numb. I had my mother in law pick me up and I did not go to the ER. I still have this numbness in my arm and it feels almost like dead weight when I move it. I still have some chest pain on and off but not as bad as earlier. I feel extremely tired and have had some bad digestion problems for about a week and a half. I do have anxiety and panic disorder but this felt very different. I can tell when my anxiety is bothering me or if I am having a sudden panic attack. I ve had them for years and do take medication for it. I am 36 and female. I have been very stressed out...working massive overtime, my mother is not doing well at all and may not make it to the end of the year, I lost my father two years ago, and I am the only one working at my home. Could this just be stress related and anxiety acting up or possibly a heart attack? I am worried about going to the ER as I have no insurance....
