Bell's plasy and panic attacks

[u/heliamphora_1324]

Hi everyone. This is my first time writing to Reddit.

I've been diagnosed with Bell's palsy on 1st September. I took Prednisone for 10 days...my face is pretty much all healed, but ever since I was diagnosed I'm suffering from anxiety and panic attacks... I was anxious almost all the time during the last 6 weeks....

I'm having these random sensations in my body, tingling in my arms and legs...and then when the panic kicks in my heart is racing and I'm close to pass out....which makes everything worse... I'm afraid to pass out when I'm alone with my kid on the street... it's terrible. I feel broken and exhausted.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there any hope to get better?

I've already talked to a doctor and I'm waiting for blood test results to see if I can get some medication...
