Tingley

[worried Laura]

Hi I was wondering what causes the tingley feeling when stressed I get it embarrassingly to admit in my bum cheeks and back of my thighs :blush: it lasts only a couple of secs and is gone, does anyone else get this? I'm always clenching my bum cheeks as well :lac: was wondering if this could be causing sciatica type pain I'm getting in my left leg, mri of my back is fine. :-)

Can be a few things. Hyperventilation causing lack of oxygen to certain parts is the classic anxiety thing. Also hyperexcitable peripheral nerves, somatoform, or just generally increases sensitivity to bodily sensations.
