These are some unique symptoms. I can't say I know anything about them, but I do know that many people-- particularly men-- have more physical symptoms that emotional ones. I myself had horrible, debilitating bouts of nausea.

The turtleneck comparison sounds familiar. Does your throat just feel tight?

If you haven't already, you should talk to your GP and discuss possible causes, and also treatments for anxiety if you haven't started already. My physical symptoms nearly disappeared after I started treatment.

Yes, it was a tight feeling. Like someone had their hands around my neck squeezing lightly. That feeling is gone, Thank God. It was awful. Now it's my tingling chin and neck.

I would get numbness in my arms and legs and feel like I can't swallow. It's a panic attack from the anxiety. But talk to your dr too if you think it's something else. But I think it's just a panic attack. I would feel like I was having a heart attack.

I was thinking about giving it until Monday then making a drs appt. Other than these symptoms I feel fine but they are maddening.

That's very unusual, but I think your symptoms are for sure psychological due to the anxiety. I understand the feeling. When I would begin having a panic attack I would feel tightness, almost tingling, sensation in the back of my head. It went away after I calmed down. At first I thought something was physically wrong with me. But it turned out to be my mind playing tricks on me due to the anxiety.

I would still mention it to the doctor next time you see him or her. They may be able to put you on anxiety medication if you're not already on it. If it's entirely anxiety medication should help cut down on the feeling.

I have had these symptoms and so very many more. I actually had the entire right side of my body go numb then my face and tongue... I hate all these feelings. If you need to talk or anything I am here. I hated going through everything by myself. Stuff like this page and more were not available when it first started for me.

Justme...How long did this particular numb senstation last with you. I feel like mine is slowly going away. It is maddening and so scary.

I'm so sorry! I fight everyday to keep myself from going down that road. I know it's always best to check things out at the Dr's. I can tell you, though, that in the past 2 years or so, I've been to the doctor multiple times and the ER at least 3 times convinced they would find something horribly wrong....never is anything. Finally, the last ER visit this past November....and mind you, I didn't say anything about my anxiety...the doctor came in and said, "Everything looks just fine." I was shocked and kept saying, How can that be?! I have VERY physical symptoms here and I have had for weeks! How can something like this go on for weeks?!
She said, "If we can figure out a way to disconnect what the brain is telling our bodies to feel, we'd have a better handle on this anxiety, but your brain and body are connected and I know you feel what you feel, just as physically as you feel this (she tapped my arm). It's that real and I know it can be very distressing and even debilitating but everything checks out fine."
As soon as I left the ER, I felt just fine. Symptoms had vanished. It's a relief but embarrassing at the same time....and it's expensive!
Every time the chatter starts in my head and my mind directs me to some strange sensation in my body and tells me to panic, I try to remember what she said, word for word.
And, oh....Googling symptoms? My regular GP has made me "pinky swear" to stay away from Google with regard to medical symptoms of any kind. She said more often than not, they're wrong and only serve to scare the hell out of you. All Google's going to do is give you too much to think about. Go see the doc and then you'll only have what matters to think about.
That has been my experience. We're all different, I know but what you're describing sounds sooooooooo painfully familiar. It's a very unique kind of misery, dread...until you have something in your mind to counter it, you can feel so helpless.

My face goes numb and tingly. Drives me nuts.I don't feel anxious but I still get all these weird symptoms.Other times feels like my throat is closing so I cant breathe. AGGHHHH!!!

I know how that tingly or numb lip feels like and it is so annoying. I have figured out for myself it happens before an attach and last awhile. I also get numbness in my baby fingers ( right side more than left) after an attach. I try and deal with it by relaxing and telling myself that I am going to be okay.
Hope you get some answers to what your going through.

My tingling will occur in my toes sometimes...or in my finger tips..

I GOOGLE too much too...but I have also talked to my Dr. about it....it can be totally unrelated to anxiety and be a type of Neuropathy....

Which will be addressed for me by a Neurologist...Its a nerve issue...damaged nerves which can be caused by many things....

You could have simply twisted your neck the wrong way and it is cutting off a nerve.

But certainly go to your Dr if it keeps up (we can't mess around when it comes to above the neck).

We have enough going on above the neck...LOL.

I suffered (past tense) with the left side of my face (eye included),ear, and neck....and part of my arm which led me to believe I was having a stroke which sent me to the ER 3 times. I also suffered from head pressure.
It is all part of the anxiety and after accepting it as such and doing deep breathing and relaxing, the symptoms subsided. How long it lasts is an individual thing.....mine lasted a few hours....sometimes all day.
I have looked into AdventurGuides threads that give free (you heard right) guide on how to rid yourself from anxiety and it has been a life saver for me. I don't go to WebMed any more....not necessary as I know I'm battling anxiety and not some horrible life threatening disease. I let my doctor be my guide.
I did find out I'm diabetic a few years ago and some of my symptoms were actually caused by the diabetes when my blood sugars drop too low or are too high. I eat a 1000 times better, exercise, and keep my blood sugars as even as possible.
I do indeed have pinched nerves in my neck, but my chiro has helped with that.
I'm truly blessed and when anxiety comes a knocking....I pop a few gumballs in my mouth. This helps distract me with the wonderful flavors filling my senses and the chewing relieves the head pressure. This doesn't happen to often these days....but every now and then anxiety raises it's ugly head....lol.
I have learned to go with it and it usually only lasts a few minutes compared to 24/7.
Look up AdventureGuides threads....she is doing a 12 week program right now. You can scroll through the threads to catch up or friend her and she will give you access to her journal where she keeps the info on ridding yourself of anxiety.
Best wishes sent your way :)

I am shocked to see that others are having numbness in their lips. I thought it was just me. Whew that's a relief. I too looked it up on the net and focused on the scarey possibilities. But after reading this I feel a bit relieved. If it's a symptom of my anxiety and depression then I don't have to worry about it's being something else. I have enough problems as it is. :)
