MS or Anxiety? I’ve been experiencing numbness and tingling in my feet and hands for about 2 weeks.

Posted , 4 users are following.

My left side is weak and I feel dizzy from time to time as if the rooms spins. Yesterday I felt as if the front of my pants were wet right before I got dizzy. I was just laying in bed scrolling the internet and my right arm began to have a really sharp nerve pain. As this was happing my left side felt tingly and I felt as if I was going to pass out. Earlier in the week my right thigh felt numb for about 7 hours then the feeling completely returned. Now I feel like sharp nerve pains are traveling throughout my body. Sometimes I feel like I’m itching.  And I have muscle twitches and internal vibrations. I’m really scared they it may be ms and not anxiety like my Doctor is saying.

    It sounds like this is just anxiety related. I've had numbness and tingling hands/feet many times when I'm anxious. I also had dizziness for about 3 months last year from anxiety... I thought I had vertigo, it just always felt like I was on a boat. But then I started to notice when I was distracted it would go away, so then I realized it must just be my anxiety. It eventually went away, don't really have it much lately.

    You mentioned itching, I've been noticing lately a generalized itch all over my body and I'm thinking it's anxiety too. It's mostly on my neck, arms and hands. I feel itchy and scratch and sometimes a red rash or hives appear after. Is this what you have?
