What Are the Symptoms of Anxiety Numbness?

Anxiety numbness is common in people suffering from panic attacks, severe stress and fear. After consulting with your health care professional, appropriate treatments and techniques can be prescribed to offer relief from these debilitating conditions.

  1. Identification

    • Anxiety comes from many sources, including external stresses, financial pressure, and marital or family issues. If untreated, anxiety can overtake our everyday lives.

    Effects

    • Some symptoms of anxiety are numbness on one side of your body (usually the left), heart palpitations, nausea and sweating.

    Considerations

    • Because numbness to your extremities or a particular side of your body can be indicative of other life-threatening conditions, it is important you seek prompt medical attention.

    Misconceptions

    • The idea that women are more affected by the symptoms of anxiety than men is untrue. In most categories of anxiety disorders, men and women are equally touched by the common issues related to anxiety.

    Prevention/Solution

    • Anxiety can be controlled with medication, therapy, proper diet, exercise, and relaxation and visualization techniques.
