Does Anxiety Lead To Numbness And Tingling Sensation In Face,lips And Neck?

Hi. This past New Years I was rushed to the ER...my face was numb, I couldn t move my lips or even speak...my husband thought I was having a stroke. Thankfully I wasn t but the ER Doc said it was anxiety and stress. This seemed odd but we left and have tried to manage those areas. The numbness and tingling and pins and needles continues to occur...it s awful. It s in my face, lips and neck. It s happening daily...sometimes in my arms. Could this be more than anxiety? Should I see another Doc about it? Thank you.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, unless you get done some test it can not be said that the reason is anxiety and in my opinion better to get done the CT brain, if this turned unremarkable then the symptoms could be functional, hope this information helps, take care.
I find this answer helpful
