What Is The Treatment For Numbness In The Body And Dizziness?

Good afternoon, Im 38 yrs old, 5 feet even & 135 lbs. Ive been experiencing random numbness on my body for the past week. At first I thought it was a tankini cutting off my circulation so I switched to a sports bra the next day then back to my bra the next. The numbness was on my upper body (neck, arms & fingers) Today I stayed home I sat in my diningroom table reading again experiencing numbness but this time throughout my body. This time I was wearing no bra. Along with the numbness my legs get swollen & Ive been experiencing dizziness. I wonder what it could be?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. As you asked this query in "Mental Health" section, I shall answer in that view point.

In psychology, we broadly call it obsession. You had that disturbing sensation once. You expected it to happen again and tried. Then you started experiencing it as you were expecting it. Then your body brought the familiar symptom because you are expecting it. Then you started worrying that the symptom is coming again and again and expect it. Body brings it again as you are expecting it. You become worried and so on. That is obsession in simple terms. Ignore it and the problem vanishes.

But you should consult a physician to rule out any other physical problems.

Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
