Numb

[Destinyweathers]

Has anyone's tongue ever went numb? Or any other body parts went numb due to Anxiety?

Yes omg! A few times I panicked so bad my tongue went numb and it was so scary, it went away when I calmed down but it took a few times having that symptom to realize it was anxiety

Yes as soon as I calmed down it went away this is yhe 1st time its happened to me usually my left arm from my elbow to my hand goes numb anf tingles for a min I go to the doc all the time for new Anxiety symptoms because I panic fast thinking I'm dying or something

It’s a spark of adrenaline because one time witnessing a fight it happened to me, it was so scary, honestly the first time that happened to me was one of the worst panic attacks I’ve had ! I’m glad you’re feeling better now

Thank you so much Lexi😘 and it helps when i take deep breathes and tell myself im okay it'll be over soon and then it goes away

HI, that’s what happens to my legs from knee to ankle, been like it on and off for ages, I don’t like it either 😔 last night only had 2 hrs sleep in the end, noise outside woke me up then I started gagging/dry heaving and was all hot under my skin in back and legs but cool to touch.

I then dread the day ahead... that’s when I feel really lonely yet had a fairly ok day yesterday but it all hit me when I got home after being out with family, I hate all this anxiety too. Then I wonder if that’s what it is even though the doctor has said so

How the mind plays tricks and how the body reacts is indescribable and so often scary 😔 hope you’re feeling better

Now

Yes my legs feel the same and they get heavy my body feels like a noodle and i feel like im gliding on air when i walk and i feel like im outta place and in a dream for up to 2 days and then im back to normal

Yep. My left arm always goes numb when I go through an anxiety attack and it worries me so much that I am going to get a heart attack since it’s a symptom of a heart attack, but it always goes away after.

[Destinyweathers in reply to SxufferingSxoul]

Yes I always go and get check just to hear the same thing "your heart is very strong and healthy its just your anxiety" and everything is always normal with my results

[SxufferingSxoul in reply to Destinyweathers]

Yeah me too, anxiety just seems to have it’s own horrific ways of creeping in🤷🏻‍♀️ I hope we both find a way out of this never ending cycle of anxiety x
