What Causes Head Burning And Tingling With Odd Body Sensations?

I ve had this horrible tingling and sometimes a bit of burning on my head. I m a very anxious person but is very concerned as I get these very odd sensations in my body. I have used chemicals in science experiments but I don t think that s got anything to do with it. Is it part of growing up? Could it be anxiety?

Hello
Most probably this could be anxiety.
As you have mentioned that you are an anxious person, this tingling in head can be a part of your anxiety.

However, vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause similar symptoms. I would suggest you to get your blood vitamin b12 levels checked.

Practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation to keep your anxiety levels under control.

Thanks.
