Caused by anxiety?

I have severe anxiety, which I no longer take meds for, or see a therapist. My anxiety seems to be at it's all time worse.i have been a to n of things going on with me physically, which always makes me think that I have some kind serious illnesses.Lately, I have been having tingling and other odd sensations in my head and on my face, as well as other odd symptoms. Which leads me to believe that I have something wrong with my brain, like a tumor. And I'm just wondering if this is normal for someone with anxiety?

And if you get a clear bill of health from your doctor then your symptoms may be caused by this vicious cycle of anxiety causing those physical symptoms...those symptoms causing you anxiety since you think it could be a tumor in this case...higher anxiety levels causing greater physical symptoms,  so on and so forth.

Although it can be normal with anxiety, you need to have this checked out by your doctor to rule out other causes. Any new symptoms should be evaluated by your doctor, plus it will give you peace of mind and ease youir anxiety.  See your doctor so you can put this worry to rest.  Take care.
