anyone get tingling in their face?
Hi everyone! So ive posted before about headaches that ive been having. Well lately ive been having some tingling in my face. in my cheeks and in my forehead, mainly around my sinuses. I did go to urgent care a few nights ago cause i seriously thought I was having a stroke. The people at the ER said I was not having a stroke, and said it was due to my sinuses. It was pretty much gone yesterday but pretty bad today because my anxiety is pretty high. I am flying tonight, and keep thinking im going to have a stroke. Last week I had a CT scan of my head that was clear. So should i be okay from anything serious?? Does anyone else experience burning tingling in their faces??

Hello vedabug23503. I too have experienced these tinglings but not quite on my face. I usually get them on my scalp and they get really hot and tingle super bad. The first time I had one I believed that I was having some sort of hemorrage but eventually it went away. If the doc said you were fine then i would take their word for it. Sometimes when your body is under stress or anxiety it can convince you to believe you have things that aren't really there. I would take deep breaths and try to concentrate on something that relaxes you. If you have an anti-anxiety med you should maybe even take one of those to see if it goes away. I believe it is just another one of the millions of symptoms people can acquire when anxious or under stress. Hope I helped :)
Anxiety can cause a myriad of symptoms in my opinion. If you are worried about it, you can tend to magnify the feelings in my opinion. We can become so hyperaware of everything that is going on, that every little feeling becomes a big problem in our minds, in my experience with health anxiety. You did the right thing by getting checked out by your doctor and you are physically ok, which is a good thing. Are you/do you have access to counseling so you can confront and deal with the anxiety? Keep us posted!
