Had face numbness today just after shooting pain in my head, the dullness in my ear. Has anyone ever had this with anxiety?

Went to hospital they checked my speech tongue eyes arms legs head and said I was ok.

Did they say it was anxiety? Try to always think “anxiety” first, it’s so hard because your immediate response is fear, but try to think “nah, it’s my bloody anxiety again” it helps so much.

No just said I was ok, if it happens again go to my doctors surgery.

It's so hard isn't it.

I always try and tell myself it's just anxiety. Just couldn't this morning for some reason.

Thank you jjb1983

I always get numbness on the left side of my body and the left side of my face. The anxiety cough , loss of appetite, stomach cramps and. Etc and etc.

This happens me all the time too it’s terrifying I keep thinking I’m having a stroke or something. Slowly getting used to it now..it’s hard to distinguish when you should go to the doctor or is it just anxiety again because anxiety causes so many symptoms.

Thank you for replying I didn't think anxiety could make the face numb thought it was just hands and feet.

Thank you
