Hi Stephanie89, sounds like you had a rough night. Numbness / tingly sensations are very normal in an anxiety disorder, if the numbness or tingly sensation persists in one area for longer than a week or two I would call your physician or schedule any appointment to rule out anything serious. 911 would not be necessary in this situation, however if at any point in your life you experience a tingly sensation going all down a side of your body that can be something very serious and you should come in contact with any nearby persons for help or call 911 in that case. I'm available to chat if you need someone to talk to, don't be shy! Cheers! - LightSezor

Hi.... anxiety has a lot to answer for. The 1st time I had a panic attack, I thought I was having a heart attack. Other times I literally felt like I was having a stroke. I got the same sort of tingley numbness that you describe, along with sweating, palpitations, dizziness, nausea, headache and slurred speech!!! It's crazy 🙈 try to slow down your thoughts and imagine the bad feelings coming out of your body through your feet or fingertips. I know that sounds daft, but really try to visualise it and take some nice, considered breaths. If our thoughts are strong enough to affect us that badly, they are also strong enough to soothe and heal us xxx

It could be your mind running riot, what you put your attention on expands. So learn relaxation methods. and breathing methods.

Anxiety can cause some pretty scary symptoms. Have you tried meditation? If you can get your thoughts under control, you might find that some of the physical symptoms start to subside. This happened for me after a year of therapy, starting to recognize my thought patterns and how my emotions contributed to my physical wellbeing.
