Numb/weak/tingling hands and feet
Posted , 2 users are following.
I’m currently struggling with very light dizziness, and my hand/leg on one side feel numb/tingly/weak and it’s doing my head in. It’s keeping me up at night but this thread is giving me some hope that it’s nothing sinister and just my anxiety playing up as my brothers mental health is bad which really effects me and I have lots of Uni deadlines. I’ve seen lots of posts on here with people saying the same thing! One of my coping mechanisms used to be (pre-COVID) going to the gym/playing sport as it gave me mental space and showed me that I probably didn’t have a brain tumour because it’s hard to ‘forget’ those symptoms for an hour of sport! its even worse because im comparing the feeling in the left side and constantly checking with the right! I’m losing my mind and waking up in the middle of the night trying to fight the urge to take myself to a&e. If anyone has/is currently experiencing this could you let me know! I will probably make a drs appointment soon but I’m so scared of medical settings so trying to avoid it for now as symptoms aren’t getting worse, just my anxiety is!

my symptoms are similar, numbness, tingling, coldness in hand and toes. more dominant on right-side. feel like circulation problem. numerous tests done stress test, mri, ct scan. thought for sure it was ms. nope all clear. now its something else. seems like it never ends. been diagnosed with GAD. took buspar for a couple months, made symptoms worse. My adventure started about 4 months ago. dealing with the covid era, then got bit by a tick. took antibiotics, soon I noticed numbness in toes, and lightheadedness, feeling just off. my numbness always starts in right toes, then left, then goes to my head and ending on right shoulder and arm. then after awhile repeats. I was taking buspar also then quit. numbness went away for a couple days, now it back. the head part is the worst, blurry vision sometimes, dizziness and feeling very weird in the head. I'm supposed to take lexapro, but I'm scared to.
