What Causes Numbness In The Body And Breathing Difficulty?
today while working I went numb, whole body but arms stayed numb, my fists clenched up and I couldn t release for a bit, I could barely move my arms. Also I was having a difficult time breathing. At first I thought it was a panic attack until my body went numb

Hi,
Before labeling it as panic attack induced numbness.
I suggest you to rule out any neurological cause if present which I am suspecting. Your detailed neurological evaluation should be done. If needed then nerve conduction velocity testing can be done for further work up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
