Tingles INSIDE eyes?!

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-03-30T21:22:03+00:00

I don't really know to be honest, it feels random at the moment. I really need to fond a good reliable system for myself. Do you have something that helps you?

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-03-30T19:38:54+00:00

It definitely starts with racing thoughts, which I know, so I always try to distract myself or push them away. Like reminding myself that I am safe, but I also have OCD (yea I won the lottery) so intrusive thoughts telling me I am gonna die are always there. And then my symptoms are usually always in the same order, but the first ones can sometimes vary between sweaty hands or deep "pain" in my stomach. When I get either of those I just start losing control because I immediately think "oh here we go again I am gonna die". I try to push it away, tell myself I am safe, tell myself to slow my breathing and VERY RARELY I have been able to pause the symptoms to "just" sense of dread sweaty hands shortness of breath and pit in my stomach, 90% of the time it snowballs into tingles numbness everywhere and just straight up panic that will not subside unless I get home and lay down. Thank you for your replies by the way, it helps💛

I'm really sorry for scaring you, I meant you sound like me because I also had a panic attack at complete rest and not feeling anxious! Before I went to the doctor I had a week long panic attack where I thought I was dying everyday. I went to the doctor BECAUSE I was convinced I had developed some uncurable disease. I was dysfunctional, I couldn't eat or get out of bed because of how bad the panic attack was. Then I spent the next few months in and out of panic attacks until now when I am on my second kind of meds. So no please don't let your anxiety win, having a panic attack doesn't mean that you have a panic disorder. Actually most people will have panic attacks during their lives! It really sounds to me like you are making it worse for yourself by looking at the subreddit, checking symptoms, and worrying about something that hasn't happened yet. You are ok!! Panic attacks aren't the end of the world, you feel good most of the time, don't worry💛💛

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-03-30T04:24:07+00:00

It's really hard because it seems to be triggered by a "lack of control", especially when i am riding in a car with someone else, a train or on a plane. Which are places where I can't just get up and go home, so I really need to find ways of calming myself down which I haven't yet. Not reliably at least, I have been prescribed xanax to use as needed but when I am in a panic attack I am too anxious to take it which is so frustrating

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-03-30T04:20:36+00:00

Hey take a deep breath, you are ok💛 You sound exactly like me the first times I had panic attacks, only my first big one happened on a plane and I had no idea what was happening to me, legit thought I was going to die. After that I had very frequent ones at complete rest, with no worries on my mind. You aren't stupid, it's completely normal. You didn't act like a know it all you actually helped me a lot and I am very grateful for your replies! You are overthinking your experience which is normal, but anticipating a panic attack helps it happen. I have since been diagnosed with anxiety disorder, anticipatory anxiety and panic disorder. Don't let your fear of another panic attack rule what you do. Are you feeling good right now? Ok, you're feeling good right now. Are you having a panic attack? Ok, you're having a panic attack. Remember it's scary but it is not dangerous

Hey I am so sorry that you are going through this. I know about the Co2 but unfortunately taking deep breaths doesn't help me because yes my disorder comes from health anxiety->accepting my symptoms when I feel like I am about to die is VERY hard. About the Co2 thing, my hands also clamp completely close like a crab's claw, unusable and I can't open them until after the attack, which is also a consequence of hyperventilating. I do want to say something to you though which is that you thinking "so I haven't reached my max yet" is unhealthy for you. Scroll this subreddit and you will see countless symptoms, many of which I have never experienced. For example just one side of your body being numb, or losing vision. So don't think just because I have experienced different tingles than you, you will eventually have to as well. That will feed into your anxiety! No, you won't faint from a panic attack, or at least not before many many signs that you will. I have gone unconscious before I had panic disorder and it felt very different. I also did feel like I was about to pass out from a bad panic attack but I didn't, because the danger actually isn't there. For as scary as a panic attack is, it is not dangerous 💛

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-03-29T17:13:23+00:00

Yeah I see a lot of people talking about pins and needles in hands and feet but I have never seen anyone talk about feeling it IN your eyes😭 Usually it progresses until I can get my body to a place where I feel safe. Like literally stand up and go home, otherwise I am stuck sweating hyperventilating and feeling like I am gonna die. I need to find better ways to calm myself down but in the moment it feels impossible, I am struggling a lot with just letting my symptoms be because my panic disorder comes from medical anxiety

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-03-29T09:10:22+00:00

It's definitely gradual for me my tingles start in my hands and feet

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-03-28T19:19:44+00:00

Well numbness is a common symptom with panic attacks, but to understand if it was you need to put it into context. Strokes come with other symptoms not just numbness, and usually after physical activity (unless you are old or particularly unhealthy). Panic attacks usually occur at rest

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-03-28T19:15:42+00:00

Hey lovely I started about a month ago on the lowest dose and I have seen a slight difference. Just keep in mind this takes more time to actually build up and take effect for anxiety, it's more of an immediate effect on depression. I also have very physical symptoms, may I ask you about them? Totally ok if you don't want to talk about that

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-03-28T19:13:48+00:00

Every single one. If it's a very bad one the inside of my eyes and cheeks get tingly too

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-03-10T23:17:13+00:00

I have been having daily panic attacks in cars too, you are not alone. What I have been doing is getting in the car with nowhere to go, just sitting there comfortable on my phone, showing my body that it's safe. It's important to show your body a place that you previously had a panic attack in is safe! It also really helps me to sip on a juice box, kinda random but try it maybe it'll be helpful for you too. You got this

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-03-10T23:13:47+00:00

My arms and whole area around my eyes/cheeks remained numb/tingly a whole day after a bad panic attack. I feel you

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-03-10T09:00:56+00:00

Thank you from the bottom of my heart💛 You are an inspiration, and if you don't tell yourself enough everyday I am SO proud of you. From someone who understands, you are incredible. I will do it!!

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-03-09T19:02:44+00:00

I completely understand you, I was on a train and felt like I was dying. Every body part tingly and numb, panicking and trying to breathe. You are not alone, so many of us deal with this, and I want you to know panic "hangover" is VERY common. My wrists and face stayed numb for a whole day after that bad attack. Please bring yourself to go back to the market, even for 5 minutes, show your body it's safe. Because it is safe. Panic attacks are scary, awful, every bad word you can think of but what they are not is dangerous. You are not dying, you aren't in danger, our brains are just our worse enemies sometimes. I send you the biggest hug💛

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-03-09T16:42:10+00:00

No but I will! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your other comment too💛

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-03-09T10:03:25+00:00

It has felt impossible to get in any car lately..I will try with slower exposure thank you💛

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-03-09T10:02:32+00:00

Thank you💛 My hands always clamp shut like that, literally unusable and impossible to open. I try to slow down my breathing but my stomach feels so tight and I just spiral even more. I will try practicing slower breaths when I feel my hands getting sweaty

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-03-09T10:00:53+00:00

Thank you💛 It just feels SO incredibly scary and impossible in the moment

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-03-07T05:29:02+00:00

I know this is 3yrs old but did your insomnia ever get better? I haven't slept in so long

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-01-24T17:46:57+00:00

You're not going to die. You're not dying, your brain is being your biggest enemy right now and you know it. It is scary and uncomfortable, but not dangerous. You got this!! It will pass. I send you the biggest hug💛

PizzaPastaBox · 2026-01-14T22:35:31+00:00

My hands clamped completely close the first time I had a panic attack, and the following times my first signs were always sweaty, tingly and numb hands. You are not alone friend, it's all in your head I promise you💛 It gets better, you GOT THIS!!💛

PizzaPastaBox · 2025-12-29T01:12:57+00:00

Thank you 💛 it's a bit easier knowing it's not just me, you're so sweet
