does anybody else get like pins and needles around their mouth and other parts of their body i find this very scary any advice thankyou.:weep:

yes, I get this when I'm not breathing properly.
It normally starts in my feet and works it's way up my legs.
I also get it in my hands and lips. I once got it on the back of my neck and head when I was at the dentist completely panicking!
As soon as the pins and needles start I do a breathing exercise to calm myself. This normally makes it go away or stay in the back ground so it doesn't become a problem.
I know people say breathe deeply but I find that this is part of the problem for me.
Learn all you can about calming your breathing.

Hi Goth,

Have you read through the Self-Help section of the Menu?

There is loads of practical advice on breathing techniques.

Distraction is key,also-don't allow the Anxiety and symptoms free space in your head.Challenge the symptoms then get up and do something different to take your mind off things.

:hugs: :hugs: :hugs:
Best wishes,

I've had something similar my lips would just tingle and feel swollen and then aroud my lips would feel numb and swollen, the other day my whole face just completly tingled all over that lasted a night. i've no had that since.
I'm sure it will calm down if you do.

Yup, I've had this too. Sometimes on one part of my face, sometimes my toes. One time during a PA my whole arm went numb for about an hour and I had shooting pains going up it. I don't know why anxiety causes this feeling, but it's definitely a common symptom. Of course, when it happened to me, I was sure I had MS or diabetes, but it was just anxiety.
