Can Anxiety Cause Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Legs Along With Fatigue?

I have been experiencing some leg numbness, pinprick sensations, and exhaustion for about a year. I ve gone to different doctors including a neurologist and I even got an MRI but nothing appears to be wrong. Since I do have anxiety and take medication for this I believe it is possible that these symptoms are a result of anxiety but I am not sure.

Hello,

The symptoms you are experiencing might be the result of the side effects of the medications you are taking for anxiety. Hope you are taking the medicines with a doctor’s advice. If not, I suggest you not to take it without consulting a psychiatrist.

Anxiety is best managed with consulting a psychiatrist as he is the one who should be helping you with treatment of anxiety by prescribing appropriate medicines that help in improving your mental health. The counselling sessions with your psychiatrists also help a lot. Apart from that meditation is found to be helpful.

Hope this helps. Feel free to contact for further inquiries later.
