tingling all over

hello... I guess im having anxiety or want to think thats what is causing my problems.. Im having my period though toward the end of it.. and so I know my anxiety is worse right now.. but i feel tingling in my arms and legs and face.. it keeps coming and going.. does anyone else have this problem ?

Hi SL,

Good job on reaching out here rather than doing a symptom search!

Chances are that this is simply paresthesia...tingling of the skin (common on the face and extremities) caused by hyperventilating.

Even just rapid shallow breathing (anxious breathing pattern) will bring on the symptoms of hyperventilation.

Doing some slow deep breathing should reverse this fairly quickly.:) (find breathing exercise links in the Resources if you need help.)

Let us know how you are doing soon!

Hi

Sorry you are having these symptoms but I agree they are probably caused by anxiety well done on not goggling your symptoms as that will only make your anxiety worse.

SC has posted some great info for you and I hope you are feeling better today keep us posted we are here for you.
