Pins and needles

[thelespaul]

Hi,

I’ve been experiencing the pins and needles sensation on my hands a lot lately and I’ve ready that it’s a normal symptom of anxiety as I have been very anxious lately. I just wana hear what your experience was like with this symptom as it makes me feel at ease when I read people go through the same thing as I do. I’d appreciate it. Thanks

Hi there. Yeah it definitely is a pretty common symptom. I’ve had it a lot over the last few years. It seems to go in cycles. You’ll have them for a while, they they ease away. Try and just accept them as part of your bodies reaction

Glad to hear I’m not alone. Thanks so much Matt.

Have you had any blood tests carried out recently?. You could have a vitamin B deficiency. Ask your GP to arrange a test as a lack of certain vitamins can effect our mental health.

Hope you’re feeling better soon

I’ve had two since January and the most recent was in March. Maybe I’ll get another if it persists. Thanks for the advice John!

Hi Thelespaul yes unfortunately I get it most mornings when I wake up and sometimes it can be quite excruciating especially if I get the numbness as well as both hands feel completely dead!! I was diagnosed with carpaltunnell years ago, so I put it down to that. Try doing some stretching exercises with your hands everyday it may help. Zippy 🙂
