Hi Kim, I'm having the same symptoms , I get them like 3 ,c a week but they go away after two or three hours. .... Mine numbers and tingling take from my head to my arms and chest it never fails ... How you fell better .. They will go away no worries ... Unless your think it's something else you know your body better then any of us here ... Take care God Bless

Thanks for responding that makes me feel better. Just wanted some reassurance that anxiety can cause this is guess. It's just weird since I don't have anxiety when it starts. But it comes and goes so I'm pretty sure a stroke or something wouldn't do that, right?

It's my understanding that strokes don't have warnings. Heart attacks usually do. But can also just come with no warning. I thought I was having a heart attack today. I'm 35 and have been through all kinds of test all come out clean. Later I found I just pulled a back muscle from a sneeze. Embarrassed to say the least. I found out when i reached for a glass of water and I could feel pain in between each shoulder blade. What I'm getting to. Try not to go off the deep end. Our minds can play tricks on us. It's best to try and tell yourself nothing is wrong. I know its hard. But it does work.

Anxiety can do so many things its can be hard to tell what is real or just anxiety. But with each passing symptom you get smarter. Like someone said before you know your body better than anyone else. It's learning our minds that matters with anxiety. Take control

Omg I can believe you just Said that. Had a really bad night last night thought I was having a stroke, my lips chin and head was all tingling couldn't get my words out. I panicked to crying my partner reassured me I wasn't, but I couldn't stop panicking didn't. Get to sleep until 5.30 am got myself in a right state. Still feeling very anxious this morning. He's a first aider and said lift your arms above your head so i did my face hadn't dropped at one side and wouldn't have been able to talk at all. A stroke victim cannot hold arms above the head. Scary 😓 my chin I still numb xx not having a good day today either really panicky and the overwhelming gut feeling like my stomach on a rollercoaster. Awww xxx mandy😞

I ended up in A&E a few weeks back with the same thing, doctor told me first sign of stroke is your face drops at one side and you can't lift your arm it doesn't start with tingling / numbing "so he said" but anxiety yes can definitely starts with that though so when I have felt it again I just say , oh here we go again ha ha and it goes away ,I think if you don't dwell on it and just float through it will go away

Thanks everyone for yalls responses! It's crazy the things that anxiety can do to each one of us! One thing that makes me try to not have anxiety is knowing the millions of tests I have had and everything came back clear. It's just hard because when one test comes back clear, you stop having those symptoms and your anxiety feeds itself on to something else.

But yeah the numbness is very weird and tingling. It started in my neck then moved to my cheeks and then tip of my tongue and my lips felt super weird!!

I think it's pretty much gone for now, just now I have bad pressure in my temples :/
