Absolutely terrified.

She also said the tingling would be constant and wouldn't go away when I walk if it was something serious

...and she is right.

I'm beginning to have hot flashes. It's just relentless misery. Can it be caused by anxiety?

EDIT: I'm reading heat sensitivity is an MS/brain tumor thing :/ But I'm also on cymbalta but I can't find anything about it causing hot flashes.

Sigh. Having health anxiety is the worst.

I don't see why it couldn't be caused by anxiety. I get them when I'm frustrated by something I'm working on. And one time when I was having a bad anxiety episode, I definitely felt hot. I remember being grateful that the room was over air-conditioned, because while everyone else was freezing, I was trying to cool off.

It is awful having health anxiety! I am currently worried of cancer due to my lymphnodes and now I’m starting to get worried about aneurysms... the cycle never stops! :( hope you feel better soon!!

So I haven't really noticed the tingling over the past week or so but it's back with a vengeance now. Same situation - right leg, only happens when I'm sat, goes away when I'm up and walking about. Naturally I'm worried about MS again because MS symptoms are known to come and go.

I long for a worry free life, I really do. :(

I know this thread is old but I wanted to respond to your post. You said something interesting that stood out to me.... "I long for a worry free life, I really do. :(".

I have a bunch of physical side effects from my heart issues, cancer treatment and the meds I take. Point being, we all get/have niggles. Be it stabbing pains, tingling, dizziness etc. etc. etc. The difference is how we view and react to them as well as the cause. I experience many of the physical symptoms of anxiety but it's not anxiety that's causing them. I see a pattern to HA in that one takes a normal niggle and turns it into a catastrophe. The effect snowballs making the symptom worse and causing more symptoms. For me, the symptoms I experience are a PITA and an inconvenience. If anything, it gets frustrating at times but I push through it all and accept that it's the new normal.

The thing is, if you can accept that we all get niggles get to the mindset that it's a PITA as opposed to a "naturally a worry", it might help you change the way you react and help you move on from worrying.
