I feel like a million needles are poking my entire upper body at the same time

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi everyone,I am 1, very recently (This Saturday 12th of oct 2019) I have started having a sensation of a million needles poking my body all at once. (Please note that the day before on friday I had got plenty of tiny pimples on my back, chest and neck alot like chicken skin pimples). The sensation stops and then starts acting up again at uneven intervals. I've also noticed it starts instantly when I get hot or anxious sometimes. I have taken aerius 5mg as prescribed by my cousin who is generalist, who thinks it's an allergic reaction, for 3 days (2 pills a day) but the needle sting sensation is still here... Today I've visited my local dispensary the doctor there also prescribed some allergy medicine. If anyone can help me find out what I have I'd be glad. Please also note that I have not eaten anything new or at least tried anything new and another detail if that will be of any use I have recently strained my LCL ligament in my knee and I am 2 weeks into recovering. Thanks.

    I'm not certain about the chicken skin, but have you tried any medication or therapy for your anxiety? I suffer from anxiety as well, and I have similar sensations when i get really anxious. Anxiety can do crazy things to our bodies and brains. I pray you find relief.
