Because of your age you should be checked to make sure it isn't something like a heart condition or signs of a blockeage or stroke. It can be due to anxiety the legs things could be something serious.

Just anxiety, noting to worry about

Does it usually happen before or maybe after a panic attack...or if you feel one coming on?
I have had complete body numbness during and after a panic attack. It lasts the longest in my face and arms. Sometimes even my teeth feel numb or tingly. So, perhaps it is just the anxiety.

I have had the tingly. Goes with hyperventilating sometimes. However, I would still get it checked out. We are not doctors here so I wouldn't say it's anxiety, dont' worry about it. It could very well be anxiety...but doesn't hurt to get a professional opinion.

Thank you all for your advice. Appreciate it. Bob

I get this, too. It's anxiety. I also get it when I'm very angry.

If my anxiety is running consistently steady for awhile, I will actually have a kind of numbness in one side of my head and jaw for a few days. Used to freak me out.And anxiety zaps so many vitamins from our bodies. Try taking a multivitamin and fish oil. But like someone said, have doc do a more thorough check. I mean at YOUR age...ha. (I'll be 50 next week!)

Oh, and my hubby went to doc and complained of leg cramping and restless legs. He thought he was low on potassium. Tests showed he was too high. Doc told em to buy Quinine...tonic water. Drink a few ounces before bedtime. Helps hubby tremendously!

My face gets numb when i reach my perfect level on buzzz from alcohol. It also gets numb in the cold. blood circulation problems could cause this as well.

i started getting tingly in my cheeks a few mths back when my anxiety was very high...it went away and came back once since..but not much...i am assuming its anxiety bc i have had a # of tests done on my head, chest, heart, stomach and neck since Dec....still have a variety of symptoms with unknown causes...of course everyone chalks it up to good 'ol anxiety.

I get tingly sensations right on my cheekbones and by the eyes when I am pretty tired.
For me, it is my hands and neck that get tingly and numb during an anxiety attack.

Bob - whatever became of your symptoms. I am currently dealing with the left side of my face being a little numb and pain in my left calf. I don't have any other numbness - actually, not other problems..just the annoying numbness. It started on Friday and won't go away. It's making me crazy. I am under a lot of stress, so I'm hoping it's anxiety, but as a anxious/worrying type of person anyway, my mind can't help but wonder about the really bad stuff.

Thanks for sharing! Jennifer
