Hi there, welcome to NMP

What you describe does sound like something that can be caused by anxiety - numbness is a common anxiety symptom, as described on the symptoms page

Balance problems and weakness in the limbs can be caused by anxiety too. When feeling particularly panicky or anxious my legs sometimes go weak and rubbery, and I get numbness/tingling and trembling in the hands quite often too. Always worth getting yourself checked by a doctor if you haven't already when you get symptoms that you've never had before, to put your mind at rest. Hope you feel better soon
