Hi

I replied to your other post about this

Hi Ruby, im having a really rough time with my anxiety at the moment, mainly due to headaches and dizziness, but like you today on and off ive had a numb tingly feeling in my lips and this is a new thing for me. A friend who has suffered anxiety quite abit in the past told me a few hours ago that this was quite a common feeling when highly stressed.
Hope you feel better soon, relax.......

Have you ever had a numbing injection at the dentist?

Is it as numb as that or is it not as severe.

I sometimes think "Oh god my face feels numb or my hed feels numb!" But if I compre it to like having a numbing injection at the dentist it's nowhere near as severe.

It's most likely to do with tension. It causes all sorts of symptoms in itself.

Hi Ruby, i'm sorry you are feeling like this and i hope that since the time you posted, you are feeling more relaxed ((hugs) xx
I just wanted to say that i suffer from this numb feeling and tingle in my mouth frequently as a sympton of my anxiety. The first few times i really freaked out, as it really is a very weird sensation, i used to bite my lip and tongue to "convince" myself that i was still alive..i know that might sound mad, but thats how i felt at the time. Sometimes i felt that i couldnt even speak and when i tried to form the words i wanted to say it felt that my mouth and lips were working against me...whenever i feel like this now, i do my breathing exercises, to avoid full scale panic setting in and i go and get a drink of water, or cup of tea or similar and within a few minutes its settled back down. Try not to worry hun, its as others have said, a common sympton of anxiety and you will be fine, nothing bad will happen to you, as scary as it feels at the time..it will pass xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
