Tingling warm back of head!

Hi Lacy l get the tingling sensation on my scalp also on my face at times.When l first experienced l was frightened and that made it worse.As l got used to the symptom l still didn't like it however l know it is harmless and l don't fear it.l know it is just another symptom of anxiety.Try not to focus on it and understand the more anxious you are the more the sensation will stay with you.

 Anxiety can cause hundreds of different symptoms. When we are anxious our brain sends out adrenaline which can cause many symptoms including the warm sensation and lightheadedness.  Your tests show that everything in your neck and brain is normal. The fact that you wake up feeling anxious tells me that the symptom is from an over anxious brain.  All the energy the brain musters up from anxiety has to go somewhere, so it comes out as symptoms from warm sensations to tingling and numbness, lightheadedness, muscle twitching, weakness… You name it. 

 all mine started in my 20s and I have had many symptoms of anxiety but one thing to remember is that those symptoms, when related to anxiety, cannot hurt you even though they are scary. 

 at this point you need to start working on managing the anxiety. The more anxious you become when you get symptoms, the more anxiety that will  create  and the more symptoms you will get. It's a vicious circle. 

 so you need to stay as calm as you can so your brain  is calm .

 listen to some great meditations on YouTube for anxiety or depression or sleep. They have great ones for detachment from overthinking and clearing subconscious negativity. Many to choose from. I do this a couple times a day specially when lying down to sleep . Many of these teach you how to separate negative thinking from yourself. 

 you will be fine once you get this under control and if you need to, speak with a counselor who can help you determine where the anxiety comes from in the first place and give you some tools to work with. 😁🌸🌸🌸

Oh yeah have that myself usually just comes out of nowhere if it's not one thing it's another something will end up replacing it soon enough

I've had it on and off!! Tingling pins and needles on the back of head and sides as well. My face also goes numb and tingly for a couple seconds at a time 🤷??? . Apparently it's anxiety as my dr said any other serious issue it wouldn't keep coming and going

I googled my symptoms and your post came up. I also have a very warm, almost hot sensation in the back of my head that comes on all of a sudden and is sometimes accompanied by pins and needles feelings in my hands and feet. Ive seen some posts that say its related to anxiety. Not sure about that for me but I am under a lot of stress right now. I'll probably give my doctor a call and see what she says.

Just recently started having this same side effect so I googled it and your post came up, this thread made me feel better knowing it is a symptom that other people have felt. It had me incredibly worried honestly, thinking it was in my brain. I have been having a lot of side effects from anxiety and the zoloft I started taking for my anxiety so I have been googling everything to make sure.

Hello,

I have experienced this recently on two separate occasions in the last 5 weeks. I've been extremely anxious this last few months because my dad had a heart attack and I've just been worried about him in general after even the fact he's doing well. I've been extremely stressed and worried about him and it has caused me great anxiety and stress the last few months. I also have had anxiety issues most of my life.

I went to ER because of a panic attack and they did blood work and it was mostly good. Just a few discrepancies because I wasn't eating or hydrated properly from the stress. I keep thinking this is something deeper but I can't really make any more correlations. I drive myself crazy Googling things and I'm just burnt out. I feel this warm/hot sensation behind my head is caused by anxiety after seeing this thread. I am a 27 year old Male by the way.
