I'm freaking out.
I'm terrified i am having a stroke. I am only 22 years old. The reasons why i am terrified of having is a stroke is because, I have numbness on the left side of my face, my tongue feels numb, my jaw feels numb on both sides, and it hurts, and both of my hands feel numb and my fingers on both hands.. and im freaking out about this.
It's been going on for a little over 3 days.
My bottom jaw feels really weak, i feel like when i talk i am not talking right and when i sing or anything like that i can really feel the weakness in my jaw. I am also getting random twitches and numbness everywhere that are freaking me out.
My therapist told me that if i can put my arms up in the air with no problems, if i can smile, and if i can stick out my tongue i am not having a stroke, and i can do all those things perfectly fine. But i am still terrified i am having a stroke. I keep doing those things to test myself to just to make sure i can do them, and its driving me nuts.
I went to the ER a few weeks ago because i was afraid of having a stroke, I was seeing flashing lights and couldn't form words rights, and they wouldn't do a CT scan on me because i had one done in May of this year for the same thing and nothing was wrong with my brain.
I'm loosing my mind. Am i going to have a stroke and die? I am so terrified. I can not sleep because i am so scared..I really hope i am not having a stroke. I hope there is nothing wrong with me. I am so scared right now.
All i want to do is sleep. But i cant because my mind is going crazy on me about having a stroke.. I'm scared to sleep.

But yes I woke up with my tongue numb..lips tingling, within 2 days I had a full blow out of bells palsy..My face totally drooping on one side, my eye wide open couldnt even move it to shut it..I was so tired from all the stress I could barely move..
They say it happens to about 50,000 people in the us alone every year..It could be as slight with only showing a few symptoms or could be full blown.. recovery depends on you, destressing. Mine has 90 percent resolved after a year but I am older..Majority of people are not effected long term from it..
