Numbness and waves of tingling

Hi, I have this problem and I'm not sure if it is anxiety related. I have strange bouts of tingling/numbness accompanied with a strange problem feeling texture. It only bothers me really when I move or touch anything, including walking. Sometimes it is worse and sometimes it's not bad. It is mostly in my hands/arms/feet/face. When it's really strong I can describe it as waves of tingling. It can get quite painful/bothersome. This usually happens when I'm stressed. It used to only last a few hours but the last couple of incidents lasted for days. I just don't see how effects from an anxiety attack could last for days. One doctor I saw said it was anxiety and the other had nothing to say. Does anyone have any ideas?

It may be helpful to note that the first few times this happened, it was after I smoked weed

Does anyone have any advice? This lasted 6 days. I can also describe it as having a numb sense of touch, like fabricy texture just feels awful. Sometimes I wake up in the night and it is happening again. Mostly when I am stressed out. But why would I be having anxiety in my sleep? I'm just afraid of MS or something.

i am a teacher associate, and i have a child like that n my class. he is very sensitive 2 touch, certain things actually cause him pain, and it can b something like a crayon, so there are disorders in which this happens, but anxiety can cause thses things 2, i have numbness alot and tingling n my arms and legs. and yes u can have anxiety n your sleep, i sure do alot!! its a real sickness, u r not cured when u sleep, its still very much n our heads 27/7..

I have the same thing going on with me and its really scary!! Its mostly to my hands but sometimes both my legs and feet and my lips even. its a bizarre feeling to describe, but its like i can't tell if it the part of my body is being touched or is touching something. touch feels the same for everything, texture wise too. i'm dying to know what is going on...

Pot is a huge trigger for anxiety.  I hear so many stories of people all of a sudden getting constant anxiety after smoking pot.  You should probably not smoke. And this sounds a lot like anxiety.  I have a ton of anxiety and this happens to me.  Anxiety symptoms can last for however long you let them.  Ive gone days feeling horribly anxious.  Try and take deep breathes and drink chamomile tea..as this eases anxiety.  Try and distract yourself by reading or writing or painting or whatever hobby you may have,

I don't feel especially anxious except when it's triggered. the rest of the time I feel mostly normal except for other stressing events. This last "episode" lasted 6/7 days. thanks for the answers guys
