so here is my story in a nutshell:
i'm a 30 year old white male and was normal for a while. At 17 i all of a sudden was hit hard with ticks and tourette syndrome out of no where. at 24 I went through a rough break up and my very very minor OCD turned into my life and took control of everything. I cant take 2 steps without doing something OCD. at 28 I had a sinus infection and dropped to the floor thinking i was having an anuerism in my head. All the blood would rush to my head, i thought something was going to pop, then i would hear a click noise and I would feel all the blood rush back down my body. i would be okay for a couple minutes and then it would repeat. This lasted a couple hours and my pupil in one eye grew HUGE. They have never been different sizes before. I got a cat scan and an MRI and 2 EKGs which all just said i had a sinus infection. For the next month i would freak out and run around my room with this weird pressure in my head i couldnt explain, it felt almost like i was getting a cramp in my brain. I saw 3 regular doctors, a tourette/ocd specialist, went to a chiropractor, did acupunture, saw a neurologist and a holistic doctor. None did anything or gave me answers or even theories. I always said i assume its panic attacks or maybe i had a TMI? (the pre stroke symptom?). Every doctor said, hmm maybe. then nothing. For the past 3 years i have been on clonazepam and when i go 2 days without it i have bad freakouts. I still have minor panic attacks every single day and very high anxiety always. The panic attacks were all related to head pressure that made me think i was going to have some type of aneurism or something and over the past year the feeling has moved to my heart and my stomach, so now it can be any of those three. It has been very annoying but i have gotten by.
Today i'm posting because ive been having a panic attack for the last couple hours and have lost feeling in my left hand which has made it worse. I dont know why this is happening but i can control my hand about 80% of normal but feels like its going numb.
Tired of doctor bills since obamacare started less than 2 years ago i pay an extra couple thousand dollars a year for me already so i'm hoping someone can give me assurance this all sounds like anxiety/panic attacks or if something could trigger the head pressure and numbness in my left hand.
I am also wondering what other holistic alternatives I could try. I talked to one acupuncture lady who said it sounds like I have light blood or something that doesn't weigh me down. I dont know exactly what she was talking about but for some reason it almost felt like she was describing what could cause my symptoms. Anyone know about this or if there is something to do about it? I have always had bad allergies and also wonder if that could be related, should i see a ENT doctor? Its basically the only thing i haven't tried that i can think of.
thanks for your help. And on a side note, nobody in my family has any of the same things. No tourrettes, no ocd, no panic attacks.

Is it anxiety?
