Face and mouth numbness.
Posted , 6 users are following.
I have suffered from anxiety and depression for many, many, many years. Basically all my life. Recently I will have moments out of the blue where I feel like my face is numb and my mouth and I feel like I can't move my mouth for a second. I panic and really start to freak out but try to breathe through it and distract myself and it goes away. Is this likely just anxiety? I get so scared I'm having a stroke or something. I've had numbness from anxiety before but it's usually just my arms.

Hi Michael,
I get this too, it's so odd and unsettling.
Have you had any medical check-ups recently?

I've experienced the same thing and it's made me question if something else is wrong as well. That's normally my first sign of a panic attack coming on.

Hi, when I am having an anxiety attack I get the same feelings like tingling skin on my shoulders, arms and back, but when its really bad I get it on my face too. You should go and see your GP, just to rule stuff out.

Likely anxiety. I've had the same sensation and facial numbness. When I was given Adivan at the ER the feeling disappeared. I was also having pins and needles feeling all over my body and thought I was having a stroke.
Now I've been having a burning sensation on my right foot and areas of my leg. I am freaking out I have MS even though my MRI was normal last year.
