Re: tingling and numbness panic attack

For six weeks I have had tingling which started in my left leg, then spread to my right leg. After left leg began tingling, I had lower back pain. Two days ago my hands spontaneously when numb, then spread to basically my whole body, including mouth and groin area. I went to see a neuologist, who after a physical exam determinied that I was having panic attacks, although he agreed to to Vep Baer and EMG so I would be convinced I didn't have MS. I have had a high level of anxiety this year as well as pretty severe depression. My question is, can panic attacks cause tingling that persists for days or weeks?  I thought they were relatively short lived. What about prolonged periods of anxiety (that I would not classify as a panic attack, more like obsessive worrying)? Should I go ahead and have these neurological tests that my doctor insists are strickly for my own benifit - I hear they are very painful.

I forgot to mention the tingling has been constant. I have not felt at all anxious for about five days now after taking klonopin and luvox, but still having symptoms is this possible with panic or anxiety. It seems unusual.
