anxiety or something else?

[indiana36]

Every ache or pain that i get i worry and try to diagnos my self, for a while now i have this numbness that creeps up on me. Not sure if it starts in any certain spot first, but in time i notice it on the left side of my body. It does not totally numb everything, i can always move my leg, arm and face.It just feels weird. I have had a ct scan and now am wanting an MRI. About 7 years ago  my doctor then said it was depression and anxiety. Here recently i have noticed it happening more. Sometimes in my arm it feels like it is the muscle aching. The odd feeling goes all the way to my foot. My husband thinks it's all in my head, he says i won't be happy untill a doctor finds something wrong, i hate that. Any suggestions or recomendations? I'm not sure what all the symptoms of anxiety are, sometimes when all this happens i feel like i'm starting to panic or pass out.

man i could have written that myself. I am having the same thing. I am going to Neuro tomorrow because i can't stand th worring anymore. I have pain with this too. Am TERRIFIED of ms/als....... so hoping if i get that ruled out i will not be so freaked out about it. My hubby said today that i won't be happy until they find something wrong with me. If only they knew....  Hope you feel a little better about this. I will let you know what he says tomorrow.

Hey! 24male. I get this feeling only on my right ear, tingly sensation, like pins and needles. It's just nerves from anxiety. I just learned not to worry about it, and when I dont think about it too much, it seems to leave. The mind is a very powerful thing and anxiety can do lots of things to you body physically. =) Take care! God Bless! Hoped this help!

ps: my family and my wife etc. always tell me its in my head. That's the WORST thing people can say. B/c they have no idea. =)
