Suggest Treatment For Tingling Numbness In Hands When Very Stressed

Yes,it might be related to anxiety or stress.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
If this tingling sensations with numbness is not troubling your day to day life or it occurs occasionally then there no need to worry much, because in many cases no apparent cause is found to explain such tingling.
However sometimes this tingling sensations are actually paresthesia, which are associated with few medical conditions such as:
1) remaining in posture for a long time,
2) might be related to anxiety or stress.
3) lack of blood supply to the particular area
4) Diabetes,thyroid state or vitamin (particularly B12) deficiency.
5) Spina nerve root compression like cervical radiculopathy or multiple sclerosis - but these rare possibilities.
So if this feeling is constant and troublesome then you need to see physician who will examine you thoroughly with complete medical history and order relevant investigations to rule out above causes.
He may prescribe you anti-anxiety drugs like xanax (alprazolam).
Also take multivitamins like vitamin B complex with folic acid daily.
Do not be worried like I said in most cases the causes are benign and don't need treatment.
Hope this will help you how to proceed further.
Regards,
Dr.SandipKabra
