Exact same thing for me! Wow. I'm sure you've posted this before ;)

It's because of extra chemicals as part of the flight or fight response :)
If your having panic attacks, the likelihood is you'll get pins and needles etc

I tend to get a lot of tension in my face like it's being stretched or pulled. Very weird haha

It looks like this is very common for someone with an anxiety disorder. I think nearly everyone I talked to had this problem. I would get it to and then focus on it so much it gave me heart palpitations and a panic attack to boot.
