I have been experiencing numbness and tingling in my head

HEllo I am a 17 year old female and I have been experiencing numbness in my head as well as my hands and feet. Its really scary. All i can think is that im going to have a fatal brain anuerysm or have it discovered that i have a brain tumor. I just cant shake the feeling that it not anxiety and that something is in my head that is making me feel this way. It doesnt hurt but it makes me feel really woozy sometime and like im going to pass out. the feelings are almost lise something is crawling over my head as well as pressure. I have no prior medical history of this sort of thing. i hope its not serious. does anybody else experience these things and is it anxiety or something else.

Hey there! I know the feeling sweety! My panic attack came out of nowhere in the ER actually.....Since then My panic attacks vary from day to day. I can feel dizzy and sick all day to being in a dream state to actually feeling super close to passing out at times....which also includes being sweaty shakey sick to my stomach....OMG when my husband cam home from overseas No Joke, My whole body went numb I almost went to the ER instead of going to pick him up it was horrible! Anxiety can do some crazy stuff! As I talk to you right now My head feels like its blowing up and I feel like I have a brian tumor or something like you said. Its a horribl feeling! I am in the midst of getting help I am getting a MRI on my head and I am going to see a therapist and pyshcologist! I have been to the docs many times for being to the point where I almost pass out and then my hearts rate jumps and my whole body goes tingly!   ANyways when you say blanking out do you mean blacking out? or do you go through spurts of not remembering things?? Anyways let us know how your doing...have you been to the doctors at all for any of your symptoms?
