Tingling on one side of the body is common in anxiety.

Stroke doesn't come out of nothing. You need to have some underlying disorder, such as hardened arteries (atherosclerosis (http://www.hxbenefit.com/atherosclerosis-hardening-and-narrowing-of-the-arteries.html)).

I have this, when it first got it I got into a huge panic which only made it worse. Now I know it's nothing to worry about it only lasts an hour or so, but when I was panicking it lasted for weeks, and seemed too "real" to be anxiety, but lots of tests showed nothing wrong with me.

pb, if you have more tingling than usually, please go to the doctor.
