Numb face...could this be anxiety?
Posted , 3 users are following.
I would like to start of by saying that I am a bit of a hypochondriac (and I always assume anything wrong is the worst). I'm sort of freaking out... for the past few days, the left side of my face has been going numb randomly, and I feel as if there is a lot of pressure on my face. Usually when I start to feel the numbness my palms get sweaty, my mouth gets dry and I feel very jittery/get a body rush. The weird thing is that when I don't concentrate on my facial numbness I don't feel anything. Do you think this could be anxiety and or a panic attack?

Sitting here (11.39) wishing I felt better, so fed up of everything.
Face/back of neck/jaw very numb. I've had it al long time and still hope it is only anxiety. Do you take any medication? I am on Lexapro 10mg at night maybe I should try it in the morning. I am going to take a tiny bit of clonazepam, don't want to feel like this all day.
take care

I thought about what you said and have been using a nasal douche. Can't do any harm but doesn't seem to do much good.
At the moment I am trying to watch tv. No reason to be stressed but I am, got the numb face/tightness in my chest etc. I have at least been able to say, **** happens and haven't taken any clonazepam.
Bedtime soon, in my "safe place" reading a book. See what tomorrow brings, get tired of struggling through each day.
take care
