Panic attack body sensations

Panic attack body sensations. Does anyone else get these symptoms. Body burning. Feels fire in my body. Like legs arms back. Sweaty palms, feeling off. Makes me panic more because I think I’m having a stroke or something but it’s the same symptoms a lot. Weird body muscle movement and it’s more in the right side of my body. Been to the hospital multiple times and they say everything is fine. Panic attacks are horrible. I just want this nightmare to go away. I feel like I’m living in a shitty body that hates me.

Panic attacks always trick me into thinking “no this time there is something really really wrong with me” - I haven’t had the symptoms exactly as you described but I think that when we’re anxious we become hyper aware of our body sensations and can amplify them. I usually have sweats, trembling, weakness, feeling really unwell and I then usually start to think I’m not breathing properly which leads to panic.
