    I have anxiety I feel this all the time. What happens is in truth you are always probably itchy but anxiety makes you hyper aware of physical feelings and you notice it more. Hope you feel better

    It may be due to high histamine levels or high corticol due to anxiety. Are u taking any medication for this? Do u have urticarial, this is usually stress related. Have u got a rash or red blotches on your skin?
