Is this tingling related to my stomach?!!!

Is this tingling related to my stomach?!!!

Hello everyone!
I'm a 22 y/o male.I've been suffering from anxiety for the last two,three years and also have IBS.it was all pretty manageable but during summer I started having diarrhea in the morning.it was pretty bad because each time I came out of the toilet I felt everything I had eaten till that point had been flushed out and started feeling empty and weak.I also had breathing problem(even rushed to the hospital once because I thought I was going to stop breathing).however took certain meds and got rid of that diarrhea.but then came the strangest of all problems!I started having this numb,tingling sensation in my hand and leg.and the strange thing is that it is only on the right side of the body(the right cheek down to the right foot).it sometimes gets extremely uncomfortable.I even feel strange when I wear shoes because the foot is probably numb.now my question is weather it is all stomach related or not.because I also feel anxiety is the culprit!I've had pain in my arms,stress headaches,very bad depression,loss of appetite.I think it's the stomach because whenever I get a bad stomach the tingling etc gets worse.I've searched the web and thought I have every disease out there.there are the days when i don't get any symptoms.but the depression is still there because I've had all sorts of tests done by gastro docs but no results.

Sorry for the long story but I sure need your help!

The tingling is in no way related to your intestinal problems.  But don't just assume this is anxiety, you need to get a thorough examination and go from there.  If everything checks out okay and your docs feel it's anxiety then seek help for that right away.  Anxiety can present with these type of symptoms but we should never assume anything new is anxiety related.  I hope this helps and I wish you all the best.
