Hi!

I don’t get a pressure in my head but I feel pressure in my chest, and what I assume is my heart. The physical symptoms occur first just as yours do, which then send me into a panic thinking that I’m dying. So I understand the position you’re in. I have not found a way to reduce these physical symptoms but I’ve found that dissociating myself from my symptoms helps. For example, I’ll repeat to myself “these are just feelings of panic due to an imbalance in my body, they are not my true feelings and I am not in any immediate danger right now. I do not need to panic because of these feelings.”
That has helped some but as soon as physical symptoms begin, and we start to believe we are dying, it’s hard to dig ourselves out of that thinking. I’m 100% with you on this and we’re in it together!

I feel the worst tingling sensation in my left arm during an attack even before i get one my left arm would give away first and I’d know it’s about to happen. Even worse my heart races so much that i think I’m gonna pass out I can’t control my thoughts i feel like im losing my mind half the time.

I have been experiencing tingling in my head now for a year. When the tingling first started I begun to have 4-5 panic attacks in the day. I'm still not sure if maybe I have neck injury or if it's due to severe anxiety and panick. I do have PTSD which I felt has been under control but my health anxiety is through the roof. Have you had any neck injury? If not then I'm guessing what I have is panic grrr

I used to get that tingling in the back of the head. It's def from anxiety and panic. I now get chest tightness. It's awful because I feel like my heart will combust

I get tingling in my hands. I have a friend who has the exact same panic trigger. She feels something and immediately thinks shes having a tumor or aneurysm in her brain. Sometimes she would insist her eye was messed up. I can control my lower level panic attacks such as 1-5 but once i am having a 6-10 i have to take something to calm me down. Usually i do the relax techniques. Remind myself I am just having panic. Do something to distract my brain like cleaning. I notice that cleaning will always redirect my mind. Its tough. Panic is a bitch. I hate it.

Sometimes I can talk myself down out of the freak out. I had the worst one I've ever had a couple weeks ago though. Tingling is the start and I feel like I'm not getting enough air, my face, hands, feet and chest go tingly and numb. My hands will curl up on themselves and I have issues walking. It lasted for more than 30min, less than 2hrs. I had to rub my curled up hand against my SO because it helps calm me down. Afterward my hands hurt so bad. Idk why they curl up like that.

I get tingling in my fingers and face. It's weird and scary. Every single time I have an attack, my brain tries to convince me that I'm going to die. Brains are jerks.

I definitely feel tingling and sometimes pressure in my head, chest, and limbs. I was told that this can be a very normal (albeit disturbing) symptom of a panic attack, or one coming. It sucks but it actually gives me comfort knowing that it is a symptom or side effect of the anxiety/panic attack because then I know that I am not going to black out or die. I'm sorry you are going through this.
