My dd (18) experienced terrible anxiety during her IB exams. However, this stopped after she finished them and subsequently found out she met her offer for Cambridge. Since then she experienced no symptoms.
However, the last two weeks she’s been getting similar symptoms almost every night. These include: numb face, wind, headaches (occasionally), and pain on the left hand side which occasionally goes into her arm. After the symptoms develop she often gets a rapid heart rate. However, once she’s read or watched something they almost fully go away.
However, dd also has an underlying thyroid condition, and currently takes medication for it. This condition tends to fluctuate between being hypo and hyper active, hence I’m wondering if this could possibly be due to the thyroid? Does anyone have experience with this? or had anything similar?
also, one last point, my dd experienced similar things when she was around 11/12 years old and then she “outgrew” it. However, a few years later she was diagnosed with thyroid problems.
any help would be appreciated as when you look it up on the internet it comes up with all sorts of things.
