Answer 1

Sounds like an anxiety issue, when you have anxiety attacks that is one of the symptoms that can happen.

Answer 2

I was under much stress last year and dieting and went thru numbness and tingling up to my elbows on a couple of occasions. Scary. Called my doc and they said to go to 4-5 meals a day- as I was not really eating right and be sure to get my protien and vitamins. Soymilk (I like Silk vanilla brand- in cold section of store) worked wonders for that and my diet weight loss too! Your body is hungry for something- do a search on web MD and some holistic sites etc....

i really dont know the science behind it , but YES it is a common complaint in stressed or depressed or anxious people .

i see many people come to the clinic with this complaint , if they do not have either HYPERTENSION or DIABETES , usually no other cause is found and they almost invariably complain of emotional distress .

i might make an attempt at explaining it , it might be due to the fact that depressed people might stay in the same posture (like when lying in bed or in an armchair ) for such long periods that
the limb becomes numb like what normally happens to a foot when you sit on it (going asleep)

also , there is a tendency for COMPLETELY NORMAL people to become obsessed with their health in some time or another , like a colleague of mine who , after a lecture on colon cancer, suddenly was convinced he had colon cancer because of his irregular bowel habits .although he didnt have other important signs like blood in stool and weight loss , and inspite of the fact that he was a doctor , he could get no rest till he had a COLOSCOPY (and there was nothing there)

also , a LOT of people who happen to witness a loved one die or get handicapped from STROKE suddenly feel the symptoms like numbness , or weakness in a limb .


remember that man is almost the only mammal that will yawn when someone else yawns in front of them .

aspirin's no longer possibly powerful and could desire to convey approximately darkish patches below the floor. ask a real reliable physician approximately it. Stroke isn't consistently brought about by utilising ldl cholesterol. My spouse at 40 two replaced into ICUd, ER'd, and stored interior the well being facility for 3 weeks because of the fact of congenital stroke. tension is an outstanding larger stroke set off. i think of the ideal advise could come from a doctor.

Answer 5

If it goes on for more than 5 days go see a doctor.
