Hi all,

I feel like the numbness and tingling in face and left side of the body is anxiety, but it comes and goes even if I am not anxious. The feeling is so annoying it bothers me, but it doesn't hurt. I have been to the doctor for it and they don't think its a sign of a stroke or anything, but I still worry about it. I have narrowed it down to this being anxiety or a pinched nerve. I was just wondering, has anyone has experienced any such symptoms?

    definitely had this feeling going on for the past 3-4 months. Oddly enough it has gone away over the last 2 weeks. I even had an mri and saw a neurosurgeon to make sure it wasnt stroke or anything brain related, which everything came back ok. I had this weird indescribable feeling going from my temples downs the side of my head. jaw discomfort, feeling like my left foot was not there when i walked, shakiness tremble in my hands. All of it has gotten a whole lot better recently. I did start taking multivitamins daily, potassium supplement, B12 , L-theanine, and 600mg of herbal supplement called Ashwaganda...drink plenty of water and rest your body while symptoms are present and it did the trick. Also a doctor checkup clears the mind. But i definitely know the hear feeling you are referring to. A weird buzzing, stressed, blood flow constriction feeling that feels tingly, tight, and pins needles almost in the back of your tongue.

    i never got a real diagnosis other than my doctor saying it was definitely stress/anxiety related. i didnt want to accept it either bc i had real physical problems, but i finally started accepting it and talked it out whenever i was feeing that way. Talking to someone does help oddly enough.
