I just woke up to my two fingers which is my 2nd to last finger and pinky being very numb and burning sensation which is very new to me and I'm very worried that this could be something serious, I know googling is not a good idea, but I just searched out of curosity, since I have really bad health anxiety and freak out when I get a new symptom I never experienced before. I'm normally always healthy, I would just mostly get almost every year seasonal allergies or a cold, that's about it, but this one is new and I heard it could be an anxiety symptom as this is common, which I never experienced this until now and I know I have been stressed out a lot as of recently, but I heard it can also be carpal tunnel, but my anxiety makes me think it could be something really serious like a stroke for example. I might make a schedule with my doctor, if it doesn't go away on it's own in a few days to be safe, but as of now, does this seem like something I need to be really worried about and head to the ER?
