Tingling lips?

Hi all, have noticed today that my lips feel tingly almost quivery! Is this all part of anxiety? Don't feel overly trembly anywhere else. Any info? kt x

Be gentle and you will need no strength, be patient and you will achieve all things.

hi Kt,

My lips feel tingly quite often when I'm anxious. My lips and cheecks are normally the first things to go numb. Just another symptom..

Hi KT

Yes , its surely one of the many symptoms of anxiety, felt this quite a few times, and also the gums.

Take care.

I was terrified of my numb lips when I had them for the first time last week. This website is such a godsend and is helping me along so much in my more anxious moments especially :) My numbness also spreads more across my head the more anxious I get, pretty damn frightening it is I must say. But I just do my best to get on with it an hope it will pass one day soon, have been numb for about a month now :(

Glad we're helping you Dean... and I'm glad that you are managing to find old posts that are relevant to you

Numbness is quite a common symptom though of a variety of places

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

Thank you Meg. It really is so difficult to cope with at times, but I do find it can help to be around friends or family. It usually hits me worst last thing at night or first thing in the morning. Kind of hate being alone too, but I also know deep down that I do have a history of depression and anxiety. While this has been unbearable in the extreme for me at times, I also try and use it to reassure myself that this is nothing life threatening and that I can beat it with time. Just been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster over the past few months I guess.

Hi Dean,

Tingly or numb lips - absolutely!!

I used to think it was an allergic reaction to my lipstick - but then realised it was part and parcel of anxiety.
