Tingling sensation even when not anxious

Tingling can be caused by a wide variety of conditions. The most common cause of tingling is a compressed nerve.

Tingling hand can be a frightening anxiety symptom. Some people experience tremendous fear that something is wrong with their heart or brain. Others worry about something less serious, but still a very real problem, like carpel tunnel – especially if you work in retail or with computers/typing.

But tingling hands can genuinely be an anxiety symptom.

If you continue to have concerns do seek out a second opinion if you do not feel your Dr. has dx you correctly.

Kindly,

Hi Skeeve - I'm also a new member here and have found this place to be very helpful. I suffer from panic attacks almost daily. Sometimes they come on suddenly and without warning, when I don't THINK I'm feeling anxious. My belief is that, personally, my anxiety has progressed to the point that it is a constant factor. I'm ALWAYS anxious. I, therefore, don't necessarily notice that I've been anxious when panic symptoms happen...unless my anxiety was previously exacerbated or simply worse than usual. It can make it even scarier, as the symptoms seem to happen without anxiety being present (even though it really is). Does that make sense? Perhaps that's what has been happening with you, especially since you've had anxiety issues in the past.

I will often have symptoms that last all day and seemingly occur without prompting by anxiety. My panicky mind tries to convince me that they must then truly be symptoms of a physical ailment, even though bloodwork and exams have proven that they aren't. If what you're experiencing really is anxiety, then you've come to the right place. Even though I'm new here, I have already found a lot of comfort for my ongoing panic problems. :)

I had these same symptoms but I got tested positive for Lyme. I am now on abx and doing a lot better with tingling and numbness. Anxiety also decreased significantly.

Please look into Lyme symptoms.
