Tingling and weird sensations from anxiety?

[Jenny Wren]

Does anyone here have tingling and other weird sensory symptoms on a daily basis?  Mine has been here for 6 years, but it seems that they are getting worse.  I find it hard to believe that people can have these weird sensations from anxiety alone.  I have had a brain MRI and c-spine MRI, the only thing that showed was a bulging disk.  Anyone else have this?

Have you thought of going to a health food store and taking natural remedies.  I take rescue remedy as well as 90 drops of pascofemin homeopathic remedy  used to relieve symptoms associated with men0pause, pms and other hormonal disturbances  in a bottle of water that I sip on all day.  It has worked wonders for me.  Good Luck

I'm on anxiety meds and have been since I had surgery 2 yrs. ago!  I have severe anxiety especially when I'm at home! My husband is very hyper which makes my symptoms worse! I have the numbness in my lips too. When it happens I rub them vigorously until it stops. Not for rubbing them but it wears off! I called my pharmacists because I thought it was because of the meds but he said no!  This is such an weird feeling!

I wanted to tell you how much you comment meant to me. I have suffered with anxiety since childhood, but since having surgery 3 months ago, I have fallen in a heap..convinced I was having a heart attack or a possible blood clot...plus any other bad thing that might go wrong with me. The doctors all tell me it is anxiety and prescribe me anti-depressants but, like you do not want to take any of those meds. I want to fight the symptoms, as I know they are all just from anxiety. I aways feel a little better around people I know, crowds are scarey for me so I only venture out the door if I have to. (Kids to school, work and shop) I seem to put on a brave face at work but that is so exhausting. I get home and just want to do nothing. The house has fallen behind of housework and I only tend to do the absolute minimum. So thanks again for letting me feel "normal". I really do appreciate your comment!! :) I hope you get better as each day passes............Onward and Upward!!

Hello there! I'm a Danish woman finally finding someone in the world describing similar symptoms as I've had myself for the past 3 years now. There's no doubt that I suffer from severe anxiety due to a very stressful divorce 4 years ago (and perhaps even before that as I'm one of those Highly Sensitive Peole). I was then diagnozed with MS because my symptoms were somewhat alike those you get when suffering from that (terrible) disease. However, a year later, the doctors took away the diagnose and left me with 'stress'. Ever since, my symptoms have become WORSE, now at a point where I think that this is the limit of what I can take. I have a burning, buzzing, thingling sensations in my skin ALL over my body. I can honestly say that there's not a single spot that is not affected. And because I can feel that something is very, very wrong in my nervous system, I constantly think of it. I try do do yoga exersizes and to meditate - nothing helps. So besides the relief of finally finding someone who seem to suffer from the same kind og bodily disfunction, I also have a question. Is there any chance, just the smallest piece of hope I can cling to, that this will eventyally go away..? If I can just trust the fact that I can get my body (or perhaps my soul?) to find some kind of piece, then the symptoms will disappear and I can get my life back! Is there someone out there that have actaully experienced that they became well again? I am now on medication (cymbalta and seroquel, don't know if they have other names in the US) and they do not seem to have an effect. I just so wish to hear that even if your body has been so tremendously out of order for years, it CAN actaully heal itself and get in balance again... Anyone? Thanks :-)

I have that and numbing and I think it's the nervous system and I think my stress and anxiety plays a big part in these symptoms, it's annoying that no one in the medical field can help, I've been to Naturopath's, holistic doctors and the rest and have spent a fortune, stick to yoga and meditation and add Vit B 13 and B6 and magnesium to your diet I truly believe it's a deficiency of these plus stress because when I do all of these I'm symptom free, also learn mindfulness, pamper yourself co

So happy I have found this page. I am 20 years old and attended university where I had my first ever panic attack. Due to this had to leave my course as I was so stressed and unhappy. My left arm went numb and I couldn't breath properly- thought I was having a heart attack. Since then I have been experiencing tingling and prickling sensations all over my body - mainly my fingers and toes. I also get a lot of muscle spasms and a pain/aching sensation on my upper back/neck.

However I believe looking up symptoms has made my anxiety worse because I keep diagnosing myself with the worst possible dieases. Just happy I have most probably found out the reasons for my symptoms!

Eric, sounds like you have anxiety due to family problems. I felt the same before. You'll be fine. Just fight it. make plan for yourself - how to get better. Exercise is very good tool. When I was in very similar situation as you, as I made plan to run every morning, do 40min workout every evening, eat healthy food, not alcohol, smoking, coffee. I make list of people who make me good, so I can spend timer with them. And list of things I can do to make me feel better (for example I love to paint and box). I wrote all on paper and every morning look at it. And every day do it. And after 2-3 months I left soo much better. And my body wa sin very good shape too :)
All the best, you can do it. Don't give up.
