Tingling in head and left arm

So my step father past away a month ago and the day he passed i started feeling sick and that to me was normal. But that day i also felt light headed, felt like fainting but have never ever fainted, even like fainting while im sitting down, but the thing that scared me was that i started getting tingles in the top of my head it comes and goes but really freaks me out. And lately i have been having feelings on my legs and left arm that theres an insect calling on me but when i go to scratch its like the itch is under the surface. Im really freaking out to scared to go to the doctors as my step dad died of brain cancer and it really terifies me to go for a check up i have told my doctor and she says anxiety right away but to me it feels much more then that like i feel happy and normal but its these tingles that make feel so down and scared. I aslo have trouble sleeping at night ever since my step dad passed away.

Could this be anxiety? i will go and get a proper check up to rule anything serious out but im soooo scared.

Sorry to hear about the passing of your step-father. Dealing with the death of a loved one is very hard as it is, but for people with anxiety issues, it tends to bring it on "full force".

It could very well be anxiety. As I sit here typing this to you, I have tingling in my face. It's been here for a week straight now. Tingling, pins and needles, and feeling like bugs crawling under your skin are all symptoms of anxiety. You have just been, and are still, going through a very difficut time and this, unfortunately, is when anxiety tends to rear it's ugly head.

I would recommend going for a full check-up just to rule anything else out, but it sounds to me like you are just experiencing anxiety from all the stress.

Sending comforting hugs your way.....Fox
