    numbness and tingling can be very normal with anxiety. That’s how my anxiety started out in my 20s. I had numbness and tingling in my arms and legs along with several other symptoms.

    I do feel though that any time a person gets new symptoms it’s a good idea to have a check up with the doctor. that can give you a good peace of mind.
