Tingling and Dizziness... Can't cope anymore...

Please can some one help. I am finding my anxiety so so so difficult to deal with at the moment. Yesterday I was driving home and normally I just get a tingling face but for some reason yesterday this tingling was happening on both my legs... I can feel tension in me when I am driving but its the worse feeling and im so worried im about to have a seizure or something

I have a routine MRI this afternoon which is playing on my mind but I am finding it so hard to cope right now. I wake up feeling sick, dizzy and just rubbish. I get to work and my head feels all heavy and I feel so dizzy and just rubbish I have felt like this every day for nearly a year now and its making me really down and I don't know how much longer I can cope with it

I keep thinking its just more than anxiety, I've had some tests recently and they think there might be an issue with the nerves in my head so I am permanently scared that I have something like MS. I just know as soon as I wake up im going to have a bad day. I try and tell myself right you will beat this today and within 15mins I am struggling to even move and live my life.

Is this tingling really anxiety related, I don't understand why its now spread from just my head and face to now my legs

Please can someone help

Hi

I dont have the answer why this happens , but I no I get it & have for years

I get the tingling in my face , mostly the right side & it can feel numb , as well as my legs & feet & hands

Even though I have had it for years , & they cant find anything wrong , I still get worried , when it happens

I do notice though I am usually anxious when it does & then the more I think about it the longer it lasts

My face can feel like it for days before it goes of again

For me it looks like it is anxiety , we have so many nerves going through our bodies & they get so knotted up , it does cause these sensations for some of us without anything else been wrong

I hope after you scan it will give you peace of mind , let us no how it goes

I am sorry I cant be more help , but you are not on your own

Love

Hi there,

I'm not a doctor, so I can't say if what you're going through is medically related, or simply a result of anxiety.

I have experienced on some mornings the symptoms you described - the waking up and feeling dizzy. Usually I find I have to sit or lie back down for abit so the room will stop spinning. I have also felt sick - to the point I feel like vomiting. This usually occurs when I've worked myself up into a right state. I didn't get either checked out by a doctor, but for me, I think its probably anxiety related. As Whywhy pointed out, when we're really anxious, we are so tense and this can lead to other symptoms like tingling feelings, feeling sick, numb, etc.

I know this is probably not much help to you, but I hope knowing that you're not alone in this helps some. When will the results of your test come back? It may be that the tests come back clear (keeping fingers crossed that you'll be given clean bill of health!) and the symptoms are really to do with your anxiety. Many times, the thing we fear never happens, so take heart.

Will be rooting for you!

Well I saw the doctor on Wednesday night and said how I was feeling especially about the results etc and he said that some one would have picked up if it was something serious and its highly unlikely that anything has changed from the MRI that I had in January.

He gave me a kick up the arse actually and told me that I am 25 and really should start living my life and stop worrying about serious diseases. I am not due to see the neurosurgeon till December now for the results but do have an ENT appointment on the 2nd October so hoping to hear something back from him regarding all of this.

Thank you for your support its just so difficult sometimes...

I have tingling on my face, head, arms and legs and they don't know what's causing it. I know anxiety can cause all sorts of problems

Hi, I have been experience ringing in fingers, headaches and dizziness. Some mornings when I wake up it's like half my heads numb like a dead arm. I think this is due to how I sleep and possibly nerve damage in my neck. I didn't want to go back to the doctors but will get my neck checked in case this is a root cause to all my pain xxx

Well I had my MRI... Didn't enjoy it but I did it and felt better compared to last time! However... Feeling even more worried now about the results... The women said the doctor would look over them and I will have my results in 2 weeks... They didn't mention anything about a doctor last time and I'm in a state of panic that something has shown up
