Why do i get a pins a needles like sensation?
Anxiety, especially unrecognized anxiety, can lead to physical symptoms. The hyperventilation syndrome is such a problem. In this syndrome, a nervous or anxious person becomes concerned about his or her breathing and feels unable to get enough air into the lungs. This is often associated with chest pain or tightness. The sensation of being out of breath leads to overbreathing and a lowering of the carbon dioxide level in the blood. The lower level of carbon dioxide bring on symptoms of numbness and tingling of the hands and dizziness. The numbness and tingling may extend to the feet and may also be noted around the mouth. Occasionally muscle spasm may occur in the hands. And good luck.
