Hello. Today I am having a couple symptoms. The left side of my face is a little numb feeling, my jaw and teeth hurt, I have pain in my shoulder and down my arm (Not severe, but just annoying) and I feel a bit light headed. I'm 28 years old. I had an ekg done about 3 months ago and everything was fine. I'm just really scared this could be a heart problem. Has anyone else had these symptoms. xoxo!

I have not had these symptoms but a friend of mine did when he was having bad anxiety.
Are you generally a healthy person? I wouldn't think at your age that you'd have a heart problem.

Jenny - Put your relaxation tape and follow Lucinda's voice. You are just tense. That is all, nothing more. I used to know this kind of tension. Use your breath work to help relax and release those facial muscles, etc. You'll be fine. Practice the relaxation tape daily - twice a day for awhile if you can. You are creating a new habit for your body.
Just as an added note: You can be tense like this for the rest of your life and be fine. In other words - IT WILL NOT HURT YOU. It's not much fun but it won't hurt you.

Jenny, I have had ALL of these symptoms!!! I have them often and think exactly the same way you do... Please let me know how you are... I get SO annoyed with the left-sided symptoms that I can't stand being awake... So many days I spend my day looking forward to going back to sleep!! Again, let me know how you are doing... I can feel your pain and fear, hang in there, that's all we can do... OF course, lots of prayer too... Angieh
