I had very similar symptoms. My doctors tested me with MRI for tumor, MS and many blood works. Then, my dad, who has been gluten free for about 2 years reminded me that gluten sensitivity runs is genetic and effects neurological issues like all the ones I was feeling. I thought I was crazy since the doctors couldn't find something wrong. I removed gluten and the tingling goes away. Eat some and it returns. Not to mention a knee that feels better and I can breathe better. Read about gluten sensitivity symptoms. I'm hoping to share so that others can feel better possibly by a simple change to eating. Not always simple but worth it!

OMG!!!!! So happy I came across this post because I thought I was going crazy. About 7 months ago I starts getting these weird headaches, head pressure, warm feeling in the left side of my face, weak left arm and tingling in my lips and left hand and also Globus sensation in throat. I have been to the ER several times and they did MRI's, Cat scans, blood work, u name it and everything came back normal. For the globus sensation they said I had GERD but I later saw a Gastroenterologist who did an endoscopy and that came back normal. I was told it could be the thyroid, did ultrasound and there was a non cancerous nodule on the left thyroid, blood test was done to further test for the thyroid. Waiting for the results. I now have an appointment with a Neurologist. I pray everything is ok and this anxiety can just disappear from us all but, I know there's an underlining issue that's causing this anxiety. I pray they can get to the bottom of it.

Hi
I have tingling in my lower left lip. I comes and goes. I suffer chronic anxiety, migraine and Diabetes Type 2. I thought last time I had it I may have migraine without the pain as I has visual aura. Sometimes that's happened in the past but never the tingling bottom lip. Now I just don't know. I think its time to see a doctor.

Well today waiting in the waiting room to see dr the back of my head was hurting and the my left cheek on my face went numb and my gum and teeth. Not sure if it's a sinus issue or my anxiety acting up.

I thought the pain, numbness and tingling were symptoms of anxiety. Dentist said I was grinding my teeth during sleep. After 6 weeks I thought p'haps not. Saw GP today, diagnosed tri neuralgia. Involves 3 facial nerves. Prescribed Carbamazepine. I already feel the benefit. Thought I was going a bit mad, I mean, it's not like a broken bone or a serious cut. Comforting to know that others are experiencing this although I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

It seems that any problem I have the dr wants to blame it on anxiety attack. So then i try to go to a different doctor that one says the same thing. I have seen 3 different doctors each one wants to give me antidepressant medication, i told them there isn't no way i am putting that in my system. My father says it's like putting poison in your body. Well the doctors don't like hearing that. They don't care that I've tried 2 different antidepressants and got very severe side effects from it. They couldn't give me no answers. I have allergies so i have to take medicine for that then i have acid reflux and I'm on the birth control pill . And still they want me to take antidepressant for anxiety. That can't possibly be a good thing. I will never be able to function every day . I would be like a vegetable pretty much. I would end up in the ER and Thats scary. I personally do not trust medicine especially taking more than 3 medicines a day. My body is not tolerant of it. What do you think I'm asking for your opinion??
