The tip of my thumb was burning/ tingling for a couple of minutes. I have really tense shoulder muscles- im constsntly telling myself to relax them or else usually they're up by my ears all day. Can finger numbness happen from tense muscles? Freaking myself out that its MS, or a stroke or something

Yup and I get it all the time!!! I not only have very tense muscles, but also knots in my shoulders. I went to the ER one night because I start getting tingling in my fingers....then my hand...then up my arm, and I freaked thinking it was a stroke. Well it wasn't and they said anxiety/tense muscles can cause that. Just relax and breathe :)

This happens to me 2. My doctor believes it's just anxiety.

Hope you are feeling better.

Tense muslces can impede good circulation...

...and stress breathing/hyperventilation can cause paresthesia, a common anxiety symptom.

So use of both PMR and breathing exercises should bring some relief.:)
