It has been several weeks since I had a panic attack, now I have a pain in my foot on the outside edge toward my heel and I am feeling very anxious about it, like there is something really wrong and I have a blood clot or something and it is going to shoot up my leg to my brain and I am going to have a stroke or something. My foot feels cold to touch and to me it looks different than normal.... I can't get my head around this thought, and I can't see where this started to happen, it started last night and has been with me all day, I thought there was something in my shoe poking me, but no...... Any advice?

Hi there! Pls don't panic it's just your negative thoughts that's bothering you. Practice the breathing exercises as specified on our program. Believe me I experienced this kind of awful situation several times before. It's purely that negative thoughts and the effects of obsessive trait and analytical thinker. Avoid thinking of having clots. . .etc.esp if you are healthy and having no cardiovascular problems. No discoloration nor calf pain. Just observe for 2 or 3 days, it might be due to overstretching or tension on the muscles or ligaments on that part. You are just fine. It's just the negative thoughts that's playing with our own minds. However, if it's getting severe don't hesitate to consult your MD for assessment.

I had the same experience except I had spasms running from my arch to my big toe and it's neighbor. I catastrophized and obsessed and lost sleep. Yesterday I went to the podiatrist and she said I have deep peroneal nerve irritation caused by walking on the treadmill too much. Big deal! Not worth losing sleep over. It's hypochondria and we do it to keep our minds off our real problems. If you're concerned, go to the doctor. In the meantime, I think we both need to revisit session 3 and practice our positive thought replacement.
