Numbness just below lower lip

[Westy75]

Hi,

I haven't been on here for a while but just today I suddenly felt a feeling of numbness just on the left side below my lower lip. I foolishly checked the internet and started finding stuff about MS etc so now i'm freaking out.
Does anyone think this could be stress or tension related? I'm in the middle of moving house so i am really stressed and I do tense my muscles, especially jaw, when i'm stressed

I'd really appreciate any thoughts people might have?

Thanks!

Tom

Hello Tom, I had this a few months ago, but it only lasted a few days, and has not returned since.

I suspect it is really anxiety, so try not to worry about it.

Take Care,

Tom, don't Google for symptoms, I do it too and it really doesn;t help!!!

If this helps, I am going through a really slow stressful house buying with my boyfriend at the moment, we keep getting one delay after another and YES it definaly makes your anxiety symptoms come on!

Hi tom,
sounds like anxiety is playing tricks again, try not to focus on it and worry too much (as we all do at times).
Hope it feels normal soon.
Good luck with the house move

Thanks guys, i really do appreciate the support. I just can't help freaking out about it, yesterday I was almost ecstatically happy about everything, today i just feel like crying and just feel so depressed.

I'm getting CBT therapy so hopefully that will help. The irony was that i've been going through such a good time with the anxiety that i didn't have much to tell my therapist. At least I've got some material to work with now i suppose.

If anyone else has experienced this symptom i'd be really pleased to hear from you.

Thanks again guys.

Hi tom. I was experiencing tingling lips a few weeks because I got myself into such a tizz about my MRI results and like you spent hours googling my symptoms and convinced myself I had MS! I'm moving house too!

Tingling and numbness are classic signs of anxiety and stress.

I sometimes suffer from this but have found that sometimes i have been subconsciously biting my lower lip with my teeth which has caused the tingling. Perhaps you are doing this??
