    Well...the tingling has been getting better but now I'm struggling with having a tight chest/back....probably because I've been stressing too much.
    How about your symptoms? Did the MRI go well?

    Just had my eeg, the doc said there is nothing wrong with me, the MRI and eeg are clean. He said to just not pay attention to it. Any progress on your part?

    It is very common to have pins and needles for long periods of time after an anxiety/panic attack. I had my first panic attack on August 8, 2015 and the pins and needle sensation lingered around for months. I would get them in my legs, hands, feet, and even around my lips at times. Once I took my eased my mind from letting it scare me, they slowly disappeared. I still get the sensation from time to time though. Hand in there. We will beat this horrid disease!!!

I've been panic and anxiety free for 4 or 5 days now but I am still getting the pins and needles everywhere randomly. Has anyone else had this happen? I can understand getting these feelings when I am anxious but I've been having them even when I am relaxed. My main question is, is it common to have pins and needles for long periods of time after a major anxiety attack?

    Thank you advance for your responses.
    I have a similar problem. I get burning hives on my hands and wrist and pins/nerve pain in feet when I get stressed. Staying relaxed and stopping myself from over reactions helps. It's not easy though..

    I'm glad to hear that you are ok. I actually never went in to the Neurologist. My focused changed when there was some abnormalities with my liver blood tests. An ultrasound showed benign cysts which was an incredible relief. I am still struggling though with very weak legs and a high resting heart rate which then makes the anxiety worse because all I can concetrate on is the rapid beating of my heart which then makes my chest tight and whatnot. There were a few days where I literally thought I was going to die. Then last week I saw an excellent therapist and he made me feel amazing. I am still struggling from time to time but the doctor proscribed xanax with I have been taking in small doses the past few days. Let me tell you, it works...Well for me it does so far. I feel a bit sluggish when I take it but it sure helps me to stop worrying about a million things at once. I may get that MRI one day but the tingling went away for the most part so I am assuming it was a symptom of anxiety.

    So two months after I started getting the tingling, pins and needles and nerve pain I finally had an MRI done. Tests came back clean. No neurological issues. I suppose I need to accept that anxiety can do some pretty terrible things to our bodies.

    I am coping with anxiety with the Natural pen. It has been a God Send.
    I got tired of the "happy pills" and knew there had to be a all natural remedy for anxiety.

    I had major tingling and pain in my feet and ankles when I was first 'diagnosed' with anxiety. It was worrying but it went away after a few weeks!

    Hi Everyone, I stumbled across this thread incidentally after what I can only describe as a bizarre episode of "nerve" pain last night that lasted for a few hours. I had electric shock sensations in the upper part of my foot that were quite intense and very brief and lasted maybe a few hours total. I have suffered from extreme health anxiety for many years but never had this feeling before. Just had my physical a few weeks ago and all my bloodwork was completely normal so I have a hard time believing this is something related to my kidneys or liver. Does this at all sound similar to what you experienced? Knock on wood so far today I've felt fine but I am very nervous about what could have caused these sensations.
