It seems that numbness and tingling is common with anx, for me and my health anx I notice that if I am focusing on an area of my body- say my hand, then before too long I notice definate numbness or tingling. Does this happen to anyone else?
Yes! I can't go a day without my hands or legs going completely numb.
It's a horrible feeling isn't it?! Do you get itching too sometimes?
Yeah it's annoying , the hardest part is waking them up lol I wonder how it's linked to anxiety?
I've always thought that it was because we are hyper aware of every little sensation when we are anxious, so all these feelings happening to everyone all the time, it's just because we focus so much that they become a problem. That's always how I've looked at it?
Yes I get it a lot. I mainly get it on my legs. The problem is that because you are focusing on one area your brain picks up tis and starts to over react. Try and distract yourself. What you have is common in anxiety. Take care
Thanks ,every little thing is sending me into overdrive at the mo!
Its nice to see you're getting some answers, as i've seen you've helped a lot of people on this forum, including myself. I only tend to get numbness, and tingling when i'm having an attack. In general, i don't really suffer from this. My heart races, constantly.
