tingling and numbness in left arm plus copper taste in mouth when stressed

[markfi]

Hi everyone,

Lately when Ive been getting stressed there is either a tingling or numbness in my left arm and a copper taste in my mouth that lingers for days after. Im a little worried - my vitals seem normal - but this has never happened before. Thanks in advance for your replies.

I get the tingling and numbness in my left hand and arm as well when I am really stressed. I used to worry a lot more about it, but it is just another symptom of my anxiety. You are not alone,

I have heard that a copper taste in your mouth can be a symptom of depression, also a side effect from anti-depressants and some other medication. Tingling and numbness can be caused by adrenaline i think, i do get numbness in my legs and arms if im very stressed. Hope you feel better soon.
Take care

You have a persistent ‘tinny’, ‘metallic’ or ‘ammonia’ smell in your nose, or you taste it often and it’s not from your food or environment. Often it’s just there, but you can’t figure out why


What causes this:

Similar to the other stomach related symptoms, loss of appetite is a result of an upset stomach due to the sustained increase in digestive action. Loss of taste occurs because taste buds are nerves, and an over stimulated nervous system can send false signals to the brain which means that sometimes we can experience odd, dulled or incorrect sensory perceptions (since our receptive senses are controlled and interpreted by the nervous system). The loss of taste because of this miscommunication or misinterpretation by the over stimulated nervous does occur. This is another example of how we can receive incorrect or inaccurate sensory perceptions because of an over stimulated nervous system.

The only remedy for this symptom is rest so that the nervous system can regain its health.
