Tingling sensation in feet?

[So]

Today is going bad to worse for me :'(

My feet are really tingly like pins and needles and feel warm. I'm fighting off a panic attack convinced it's a symptom of a serious illness like Cancer or I will be paralysed. Feeling so sick :(

Has anyone had this before?

This is one of the hallmark symptoms of anxiety.

[So]

Haha seriously I had no clue. Thankyou!!

May actually be a minor panic attack. Pins and needles can be felt anywhere during an attack, but it's usually prominent in the hands, feet and lips.

[So]

Is it normal for it to carry on for a long period of time? I get it almost every time I am laying in bed. My feet go tingly and feel warm like they're going numb :(

[Gary A]

Is it in both feet?

[So]

Yes both feet, mainly my soles

Unilateral tingling isn't usually a sign of anything serious, so I wouldn't worry too much. It could be a symptom of anxiety, other causes may be a small vitamin deficiency or maybe even chronic hyperventilation causing blood alkalosis.

If it continues or worsens, it's probably worth taking it to your doctor.

[So]

Ok thanks a lot for your advice. I've not been eating well at all these past few days so it could be something to do with my diet and vitamins

I had tingling in hands and feet and was deficient in vitamin b12 so worth a try eating better and taking some vitamins x
