Well anxiety can cause a great number of physical symptoms. Although pin s and needles could be caused by stress, I would advise you to visit your doctor or a trip to A&E as you could of had a minor stroke. But don't worry I could be wrong, it could be stress and anxiety. But make sure you get a trip to your doctors just to make sure you're ok!

Get it checked out at your local A & E department. It's probably nothing but it's just not worth the risk. My husband had numbness and tingling in his hand and foot, and a couple of days later his leg went numb. Shortly after that he had a minor stroke. We dismissed these signs putting them down to symptoms of other conditions. If we'd have acted when he first signs he would not have had the stroke. I'm not trying to scare you or make you more anxious, simply saying just rule it out.

I've just spoke to a doctor they are saying it could just be a migrain or anxiety but if it gets any worse go to a&e

Great. But please do go to A&E if it gets worse. I'll sure you'll be ok but the Consultant who treated my Husband said these kind of symptoms should always be checked out.

Good. I'm sure you will be ok. If it is stress, camomile tea is a great calmer. Try 2 or 3 cups a day.
