Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

If your CT scan was negative, this tingling on your temple you describe is very likely a somatic symptom of anxiety. This is not at all uncommon. Treatment for anxiety of this sort is best with an SNRI antidepressant such as Effexor, Cymbalta, or Pristiq. An alternative is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which would avoid medication. I recommend you seek out a CBT therapist in your area. Alternately, I do offer text-based therapy on this website via my private link below. You will get better!
