Numbness In Hands, Feet And Lightheadedness. Is This Anxiety Attack Or Something Else?

Sudden numbness in hands, then feet, then heat surge through body that then went away. I was driving, so I pulled over and got out the car. I was light headed and felt like I was going to faint. Had light pressure, like a hand pushing on the upper part of my chest. Felt really weird. My husband picked me up and took me to the doc. He said it was an anxiety attack and to come back tomorrow if it persisted. It's been several hours and I still feel the same. I looked up anxiety attacks and don't have the impending doom symptom they refer to. Do you have any idea why this is happening? Was afraid I was having a heart attack, but didn't have any chest pain. I'm 48 years old and have a family history of heart disease. My mother died at age 57 from heart failure. I also had blockage in my right iliac artery and had a kissing stent put in one year ago as of last week.

Very disappointed that the fee was not mentioned up front. I went through all this for nothing. Thanks for wasting my time.
