Numbness and Tingling Caused by Anxiety???

[Mrblonde]

Has anyone had bad anxiety which causes bad Paresthesia on top of head, chest and legs?

Paresthesia is an abnormal sensation of the skin (tingling, pricking, chilling, burning, numbness) with no apparent physical cause.Paresthesia may be transient chronic, and may have any of dozens of possible underlying causes.Paresthesias are usually painless and can occur anywhere on the body, but most commonly occur in the arms and legs.

All over the place, quite often. Maybe even more often than not. Annoying, sure, but that's about it.

Thanks for the reply! You able to treat it in anyway?

I just started a Mindfulness meditation class. Hoping to eventually see results.

Oh, all the time. I wasn't aware that this has a name! I usually just put my focus on other things, and keep my brain the busier, the better. And before I know it, the symptoms would be gone (that is, unless I remind myself of them and feel that familiar tingle on my arm).

Nope. Mine is caused more by minor nerve issues than anything else. Nothing I can really do about that, just live with it.

I am itchy all of the time from my anxiety! It can cause some pretty weird stuff to my body. It can convince us that we have a terminal disease as well.

Thanks for the reply! It's amazing the effects of stress and anxiety on the body. I've been battling this for 7 years in constant pain and doctors are clueless.

I've been taking a natural approach with diet and meditation. I'm about to try exercisng more, sauna and steam room to see if that will also help relieve stress and anxiety.

I get that when I'm getting ready to have a panic attack.
